China's three major operators finally gave in, reducing 5G package fees, netizens: Still can't afford it

As we all know, since the end of 2018, countries around the world have begun to build 5G networks. As the latest generation of mobile Internet communication technology, the arrival of the 5G network era will undoubtedly bring about a major reshuffle in the entire technology field. No one wants to miss the arrival of the 5G network era. As a major technological power, my country has been continuously increasing its investment and layout in the field of 5G network technology in recent years!

In the domestic 5G market, we not only have three powerful mobile operators, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, but also two 5G communication giants, Huawei and ZTE. Under the continuous construction of these companies, China will soon enter the 5G network era. In order to realize the rapid commercial use of 5G networks, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology even issued 5G network operation licenses to the three major operators one year in advance, which also allowed us to use 5G networks soon!

According to relevant statistics, the total number of 5G users in China has exceeded 100 million, and the number of base stations built by the three major operators has exceeded 700,000. It can be said that China ranks first in the world in terms of the size of the 5G user population and the number of 5G base stations. However, despite this, there are very few people around us who actually use 5G networks. Many people have switched to 5G phones, but they still use 4G packages. This is mainly because 5G package charges are too expensive, which makes many users unable to afford it!

Faced with the new 5G network, many netizens want to try it out, but the lowest 5G package of the three major operators starts at 128 yuan, which is several times more expensive than the 4G package. You should know that the 5G network base station has been built, but users are reluctant to use it, which is undoubtedly a waste of resources. In order to improve this phenomenon, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has been constantly asking the three major operators to increase speed and reduce fees. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also released the latest news: the unit price of the 5G package of the three major operators will drop to 4.4 yuan per GB, and it will continue to drop in the future. It can be said that this is a concession finally made by the three major operators!

The concessions made by the three major Chinese operators are a good start. However, compared with 4G packages, even after the price reduction, many netizens still say that they cannot afford the 5G packages, because the current price of 4G data packages is about one or two yuan, and many people's monthly phone bills are about 58 yuan. Compared with the 5G packages that cost hundreds of yuan, there is still a big gap, so many netizens still say that they cannot afford it. Only when the 5G package fee is reduced to the same level as the 4G fee, will a large number of users use the 5G package traffic!

Although the initial construction cost of 5G network will be very high, and operators have to launch high-priced 5G packages in order to maintain operations, it will be useless if no one uses them. In my opinion, if the three major operators want to quickly realize 5G profitability, then they have only one option: reducing fees. When the 5G package fees continue to drop to normal levels, the three major operators can quickly open up the 5G network market and form a virtuous circle. You must know that the purpose of technological development is to reduce social production costs, otherwise it is meaningless! I wonder what you think of the current development of 5G network?
