Domestic roaming charges that have been paid for more than 20 years will be cancelled. How much can you save?

  BEIJING, Beijing, July 28 (Wu Tao) On the 27th, the three major operators announced that they would completely cancel the domestic long-distance roaming charges for mobile phones from September 1. This means that domestic roaming charges for mobile phones that have been implemented in China for more than 20 years will become history. Who will benefit after cancellation? What impact will it have on operators’ operations? Zhongxin. com interviewed relevant experts for this purpose.

  Long-distance roaming charges for domestic mobile phones will be cancelled after more than 2 years.

  On July 27th, Yang Jie, Chairman of China Telecom, announced at the 9th "Tianyi Intelligent Ecology Expo" that from September 1st, China Telecom will completely cancel the domestic long-distance roaming charges for mobile phones, which is one month ahead of the plan at the beginning of the year, and it is expected to benefit 80 million users.

  Subsequently, China Unicom and China Mobile announced that they would completely cancel the domestic long-distance roaming charges for mobile phones from September 1st, which was implemented one month earlier than originally planned on October 1st. On March 6 this year, three basic telecommunications companies said that they would officially cancel the long-distance roaming charges for domestic mobile phones from October 1.

  The reporter checked the information and found that roaming charges can be traced back to the 1990 s and have already been generated during the mobile phone period. In 1990s, China set up a "roaming fee" similar to tariff for mobile phones used across regions.

  This year, the three major operators have already begun to cancel the long-distance roaming charges of domestic mobile phones in advance. On July 25, Zhang Feng, spokesperson and chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that regarding the cancellation of domestic long-distance roaming charges for mobile phones, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology continued to push the three basic telecommunications companies to speed up their work in accordance with the principle of ensuring that the work is in place and striving for early implementation. "The three companies are making every effort to promote system transformation and other related work, and strive to achieve their goals ahead of schedule."

  The reporter noted that the official plan to cancel the domestic roaming fee for mobile phones began in 2015. On July 6, 2015, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said at the press conference on "speeding up and reducing fees" that "the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is currently studying and exploring the possibility of canceling roaming charges."

  What is the impact on ordinary consumers?

  According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of June 2017, the total number of mobile phone users in China reached 1.36 billion. Who will be affected by the cancellation of domestic long-distance roaming charges by the three major operators? Will the user’s phone bill drop?

  Xiang Ligang, an expert in communication industry, said in an interview with Zhongxin. com that the users who really benefit from it are mainly some old users, and the impact on ordinary consumers is actually very small.

  "There are two main reasons: First, many new packages sold by the three major operators are ‘ Long-term market integration ’ (Long-distance, local calls and roaming are the same price), and these packages do not care about long-distance roaming; Second, for a period of time, a large number of users are converted into 4G users at high speed, that is, from old users to new package users. " Xiang Ligang said.

  There are data to support this view. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in the first half of this year, 2G and 3G users continued to switch to 4G users, and 4G users maintained steady growth, with a cumulative net increase of 118 million, reaching 888 million, accounting for 65.1% of mobile phone users.

  Ma Jihua, an analyst in the telecommunications industry, analyzed in an interview with Zhongxin.com, "There is one kind of users who will benefit, that is, users who use local packages may spend less in the future, but they will not get much light, because the reason why they use local packages is because the demand for long-distance roaming is not great."

  What is the impact on the three major operators?

  What impact will this policy have on the three major operators after its implementation? Will its income decline? According to Xiang Ligang’s analysis, the impact is very small. Long-distance roaming charges are originally a management tool of the three major operators. Now, the voice business income of the three major operators is shrinking, and the proportion of total revenue is also decreasing. Therefore, the cancellation of long-distance roaming charges has little impact on the income of the three major operators.

  Ma Jihua holds the same view. He believes that although the policy will have a little impact on the income of the three major operators, it is not too big. "The three major operators can fully withstand it, and the voice services of the three major operators have also continued to decline. In the future, the income will mainly depend on traffic."

  According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, from January to April this year, the voice business income of the three major operators accounted for 19.6% of the telecom business income. By the middle of the year, that is, from January to June, the proportion dropped to 19.4%, down 7.1 percentage points from the same period of the previous year.

  Contrary to this, the traffic revenue of the three major operators is growing rapidly. In the first half of the year, the revenue of mobile data and mobile Internet services of the three major operators reached 274.6 billion yuan, up 29.6% year-on-year, accounting for 42.6% of the revenue of telecom services, driving the revenue of telecom services to increase by 10.3 percentage points.

Mother-in-law’s tattooing "serving the country faithfully" is a pseudo-history, and it was only in the Qing Dynasty that it entered the novel.

  Mother-in-law’s tattooing is a long-standing and educational story among the people. According to a gentleman on the phone, it is acceptable for Yue Fei’s descendants to remarry his ex-wife Liu, and they can’t accept it without her mother-in-law’s tattoo. In fact, purely emotionally, why am I willing to deny this story that still inspires China people’s patriotism? But unfortunately, there is no account of this matter in the Chronicle of the King of Hubei written by Yue Fei and Sun Yue Ke. The following is the only note in Volume 9 of the Nazi Compilation of the Kingdom of Hubei:


  The first minister was filial by nature, and he was troubled by the northern territory. His mother ordered him to join the army to serve the country, and he could not bear it. After repeated interest, I had to stay with my wife and foster mother and cross the river from Emperor Gaozong alone. Hebei is trapped, lost and stolen, and the voice is completely separated. I have been asking for a visit day and night, but I haven’t got it for several years. Russia has a visitor from my mother, saying, "And my mother sent a message: Speak for me, encourage the holy son of heaven, and don’t think of my sister." I secretly sent people to meet him, but I was blocked by the hustle and bustle. Eight out of ten people went back and forth, and then returned. My first minister was grateful and wept, and thanked me for being unfilial.


  It can be seen that although my mother-in-law is an ordinary peasant woman, she is deeply aware of the righteousness, and it is enough to be revered only in terms of this record. The original record of Yue Fei backstab’s four words "Dedicated to Serving the Country" can be found in The History of Song Dynasty, Volume 380, Biography of He Zhu, but during the interrogation of Yue Fei:


  Flying naked and showing the back, the back has the four words of "serving the country faithfully" of the old Nie, which goes deep into the skin.


  This shows that the tattoo on Yue Fei’s back is years old. Of course, the two most original records quoted above cannot provide proof of mother-in-law’s tattooing. Reasonably, my mother-in-law, as an ordinary peasant woman, was generally afraid of not being able to read, and tattooing at that time was a special skill. In the eighth chapter of The Water Margin, it is said that Lin Chong was "stabbed far away from the military state" and "called a writer and stabbed his cheek". The twelfth time that Yang Zhi was sentenced, he also "called a literary craftsman and stabbed two lines of gold seals, overlapping with the left-behind department of Beijing Daming Mansion to serve as an army", indicating that not everyone in the Song Dynasty had the skill of tattooing people casually.


  Even in terms of ancient romance novels or operas, Yue Fei’s Breaking the East Window, which was compiled in Volume 11 of Quanyuan Opera, was analyzed by the editor, and there were traces of modification by the Ming Dynasty. His 18th poem describes that Yue Fei was interrogated on Wednesday and replied: "If Yue Fei had this matter, would he be willing to stab people in the skin with the words’ serving the country faithfully’ since childhood?" It is difficult to judge whether this passage is the original words and phrases of Yuan opera or the reviser of Ming opera, but it also shows that Yuan opera may still follow historical records. Since then, it may have been written by Yao Maoliang when Chenghua was in the Ming Dynasty. (The sixteenth legendary story of "Loyalty" describes the same plot. Yue Fei replied: "Your honor is on the top, and Yue Fei has been engraved on his body with the words’ serving the country faithfully’ since he was a child. Please examine it carefully."


  There is still no story of mother-in-law tattooing in the Romance of the Great Song Dynasty published by Ming Jiajing. Volume 1 of the novel only says that Yue Fei was in Jingkang, and when he saw Hu Ma, Song Bing cowered, and all the heroes in the countryside came, he went into the mountains to be the enemy. Fei said,’ A gentleman is not famous in the history books, but a thief who steals from the dog and lives in the world, is it ok?’ It is the four words of’ loyalty to the country’ that are tattooed on the back to show the meaning of not being evil. " Volume 7 of the novel says, "Yue Fei takes a confession, then splits his clothes and turns his back. Compared with Wednesday, there are four big black words, which are deeply rooted in people’s skin."


  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong wrote the legend of Jingzhong Banner, and his second fold, Yue Hou Nie Bei, compiled the story of Yue Fei asking Zhang Xian to stab him in the back. The excerpt is as follows. Sheng (Yue Fei) said, "Zhang Xian, you brought a knife and impressed on my back the words’ serve the country faithfully’." At last (Zhang Xian) said, "I’m afraid of your master’s pain." "I was furious," he said, "Alas, I am not afraid of Yue Fei’s death, so I am afraid of pain!" At the end, he said, "In that case, the villain is bold!" At the end, he said, "It’s finished." The student said, "Let me forget it." "At the end, I should be introduced by Nie, and the outside (pale head) and the students should be dressed." At the end, I said, "Sir is determined to serve the country, so why bother to endure this pain?" The student said, "Zhang Xian, all courtiers now flatter the Lord and forget the monarch behind his back. I’ll engrave these four words on my back today to wake up those who forget the Lord and betray the monarch and ask him to look back." It seems that the author deeply felt that "civil officials love money, military officials cherish death" in the late Ming Dynasty, and made this remark.
