People's Daily pays attention to the speed limit of network disk: Let the speed limit of network disk be increased

On January 21, the People's Daily published an article titled "Let the speed limit of network disks be changed into speed increase" to discuss the speed limit of network disks. The article stated that my country's 5G and gigabit optical network construction is accelerating, and the network access rate is rapidly increasing, but it encounters speed limits of network disks in the application, and the user experience rate is decreasing instead of increasing. Breaking the speed limit of network disks and breaking the network speed bottleneck will not only help consolidate the work results of network speed increase and fee reduction, but also benefit the healthy and sustainable development of the information and communication service industry in the long run.

The article states that a careful analysis of the causes of the "speed limit on online disks" problem reveals that this is not only due to the objective need of relevant service companies to reduce costs and increase revenue, but also exposes their development shortcomings of a single profit model and insufficient innovation motivation. In fact, ensuring user experience and the sustainable development of online disk service companies should be a virtuous cycle that complements and promotes each other.

IT Home learned that in response to the "speed limit on online disks", in November 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology deployed an action to improve the perception of information and communication services, and clearly proposed that relevant companies should optimize the way online disk services are provided to ensure that the minimum upload and download speeds meet the basic download needs of free users. In order to further protect the rights and interests of users, the Internet Society of China organized major domestic online disk companies to sign the "Self-Discipline Convention on User Experience Guarantee for Personal Online Disk Services". As of the end of 2021, 8 online disk companies have provided "undifferentiated rate" products, and some companies have also provided users with expansion options, and the download speed of free users has been significantly improved.
