Readers have recently reported that broadband operations in their neighbourhoods are monopolized and unable to select operators on their own. Moreover, the speed and services of designated operators are not satisfactory.
In response to questions from readers, a survey conducted by journalists in the districts concerned found that despite three complaints, some districts still exist.“Broadband Monopoly”Behavior.
In response, it was felt that breaking monopolies was imperative to respond to consumer concerns and strengthen regulation.
Broadband choices are not self-reliant.
Recently, Mr. Ma, the owner of Shijia and Kaguang District, told journalists about his choice to install broadband.“We're in trouble.”He described the only way to install a Leedro network and mobile broadband, and the conditions for access to mobile broadband.“Broadband is not free to choose.”- It's very troubling.
According to the source provided by Mr. Ma, the journalists consulted on the call from the connection and telecommunications company, which after checking out the service personnel indicated that they could not provide broadband services to the area.
“Someone's been contracted out for broadband operations in that neighborhood, and the network is not getting through.”A staff member who provided broadband connectivity services told journalists that the people and Kaguya had a wide-band line laid by third parties, and that the connection required material consent if it was to be connected, but none of the contacts were agreed.
What about the mobile broadband? Mobile office staff say that mobile broadband now has telephone card packages and single-packed broadband, but they can't do it for people and owners of Caring.“This neighborhood is weird. There's no broadband in the house.”
Journalists further consult mobile passenger services and respond that the area is not directly capable of operating mobile broadband operations, but owners can access mobile broadband through third-party operators working with mobile companies, which requires consulting the operator on how to do it.
The journalist then contacted the operator and his staff indicated that owners of both people and Kaguya would have to handle a mobile card-tied set if they wanted to operate a mobile broadband operation, rather than a separate wideband package.
What about the people and Kaguya's property?
“The neighborhoods are indeed only equipped with the Ledra network and mobile broadband.”The local property workers said that they were not allowed to use the technology.“But it is not a matter of property that other broadbands are not coming in, and we have no restrictions on who is being denied access to them, as we were before the industry entered the complex.”
For specific reasons, no one seems to be able to say.
Journalists interviewed the site and found that similar problems existed in the Shandong Oasis area of Shijia, where broadband was installed only for the Axis and connectivity. The callers confirmed that they had called for telecommunications and mobile passenger service calls separately, and that visitors had asked for information to tell journalists that there were no home-based Internet lines in the An oasis, so that they could not handle the broadband operations involved.
“We can't do that. Now the network operators in this neighborhood are only K-9 and Connect.”One staff member from the Telecommunications Office indicated that owners had previously been consulted on broadband operations but could only tell them that these operations were not possible.
Journalists consult with the State of Kyushu, where staff informs that they are a third-party broadband operator and have been operating in the Oasis in Shandong for four or five years.
The trouble of the owners goes beyond what was mentioned above.
For example, owners of the Khun Xiaoji Home district in Shijia City can only install broadband connectivity, owners of the Kikang Autonomous Region Road Sun City sector in the main factory and owners of the Tenghui Oasis area in Sindh City can only install mobile broadband.
There's more to it than that.
Zone“Broadband Monopoly”Why do they still exist in reality, since business was banned by a civilisation order issued by the State ministries and the legal instruments that have been produced by most of the country ' s provinces and municipalities?
A man in the industry told reporters that there were certain small neighborhoods.“Broadband Monopoly”There are problems with the construction.
According to the regulations on construction and protection of telecommunications facilities in Hebei province, new, renovated and expanded telecommunications towers, bases, underground pipes, fibre-optic cables, pole roads etc. shall be built or jointly constructed in accordance with the relevant provisions.
“Developers do not see the need for filing, and exclusive agreements can reduce construction costs, thus impeding access by other operators and leading to monopolistic restrictions on users choosing alternative telecommunications access.”The man said.
In addition, in accordance with the relevant provisions of my province, the telecommunications facility construction unit shall submit a copy of the acceptance certificate to the provincial telecommunications authorities within fifteen days after completion of the work and shall transfer the completed project file as required.“The issue of the developers' designation of broadband should be examined by the competent authorities when receiving and inspection, but sometimes this is not strictly checked.”
“I understand that the authorities do not monitor the activities of telecommunications operators through on-site inspections, special inspections and inspection. If supervision is lacking, the level of detection of violations is insufficient, often giving developers and operators the opportunity to exploit and create a regional monopoly on broadband.”The person thinks.
Apart from the above, some districts are emerging.“Broadband Monopoly”The owner or manager of a commercial building, as well as the managers of residential areas for urban residents and rural residents who are in a position to do so, shall provide telecommunications operators with equal access and accessibility conditions, without charging related costs of similar nature such as entrance fees, access charges, user fees etc.“Entry costs”The highest bidder is allowed to move into the subdistrict.
In addition to the current lack of functional owner committees in many districts, individual owners are unable to access property and offer advice and ultimately do little to address the issue of local property allocation for broadband.
We'll take care of the problems.
Face“Broadband Monopoly”It was noted that, in recent years, despite three complaints from the relevant State authorities and local authorities, individual districts and operators have continued to operate.“I'm a good man.”And a lot of experts say that the key to breaking it is:“- I'm sorry.”and“Fine.”Two-way efforts require a combination of sectors such as communications and market supervision.
Professor Jo De Yong of the Faculty of Law and Public Administration of Hebei Shifu University believes that firstly, property companies have no right to restrict owners ' free choice of network service providers.“Property and owner are entrusted contractual relationships, regulating their rights and obligations through contracts for property services, providing services to owners who are required to pay for the property in accordance with the contract.”
“If the property violates contractual agreements and damages the interests of the owner, the owner may consult with or file a complaint with the property administration, or it may be settled by arbitration or litigation.”Jo Deok-yong expressed his support.
“Broadband Monopoly”The requirements and regulations are set out in the document issued by the Ministry of Housing and Construction and the Ministry of Labour and Communications, for example, on the implementation of national standards for fibre-optics in households.
Last year, the press came to light and some of the companies in Beijing ran into a writing building.“Broadband Monopoly”In some cases, small companies were forced to leave. Media outlets exposed the Shenzhen and Henan districts.“Broadband Monopoly”The mess.
The local policies do not require imperfections.
For example, the Beijing Circular on Promoting the Implementation of Broadband Access in Property Management Sub-Cities issued in 2016 requires that property services enterprises should provide equal access to more than three broadband operators according to owner demand and make information about access to broadband operations visible within the region.
The Hebei Provincial Regulation on the Construction and Protection of Telecommunications Facilities also makes it clear that telecommunications operators must not block access to services by other telecommunications operators, including through exclusive agreements with project developers, owners and managers and users, and restrict users ' choice of other legally established telecommunications access operations.
How can policies truly protect consumers?
The experts noted that:“Broadband Monopoly”One of the reasons for this persistent problem is that it involves the relevant departments, such as communications, housing and market supervision.“Kicking the ball.”The solution requires a number of departments to identify themselves, further define the subjects of law enforcement and establish effective joint enforcement mechanisms that will create a common system of control.
“The authorities must also intensify their monitoring and inspection efforts to impose the necessary penalties on those responsible for monopolization.”Experts recommend that penalties be increased when necessary to increase the cost of violating the law.“- I'm sorry.”With the regulator“Fine.”In addition, operators are urged to safeguard consumers ' choices in reasonable market competition.
There is also a legal reminder that industry plays the role of owner councils and property consultations call for an increase in broadband operators.“Once we find out,‘Broadband Monopoly’The owner should promptly file a complaint with the consumer association and, if necessary, may also sue the developer or property to restrain them.”(Team-telephone Lee, Zhao Zeh-suk, Huang Kai-su)

“Broadband Monopoly”What about the neighborhood?
The reporter interviewed the readers.“Broadband Monopoly”The phenomenon is found to exist more than in the population regions.
The company has a copy of the report.“Some of the writing buildings are connected to broadband networks only by a designated operator and cannot be freely chosen.”Journalists have seen on the web site of relevant online company officials that in project cases promoted on the company ' s website, they are undertaking broadband access operations involving up to five or six written buildings.
Besides the writing room, some college students also give feedback to reporters about what happened at school.“Broadband Monopoly”The trouble.
“Speaking of the broadband in the school dorm, we have a stomach full of bitter water.”The blogger says that the students at a high school in the capital city, Liu, told the journalist that they were not going to be able to get a job.“Broadband in our schools is monopolized by one operator, with no free choice and a particularly bad network experience.”He said that even if the mobile phone package contained broadband, it could not be used in schools. Moreover, the designated broadband did not provide a standard speed of the network.“The video and the document are very carded when students in the entire dormitory are online at night.”
“And there's also the problem with this broadband package, which is that we have conditions attached to our use of the network.”Liu told reporters that when they were on broadband, their fellow students in one dorm shared a router but each had to open an account for himself and only one account and supported a cell phone and a computer connection at the same time.
Liu also believes that the broadband charge is not reasonable. He and his roommates use a 25-dollar cap for 8M, with Internet access counting at 0.01 per minute and 25 yuan. If the network does not work, he will have to pay three-dollar port fees.
“The net's not working, the charges are still so high, I think it's a monopoly.”Liu said.
