Recently, China Telecom an- nounced in a high profile in Beijing about the third round of massive Internet speed increase in China, through which it officially began to spread the 100Mb broadband. This means that Chinese households are going to get into the“New Age of 100Mb” at a quicker pace.

On September 1, China Telecom’s branch in Shanghai, known as China Telecom Shanghai, geared up the sixth Internet speed increase campaign of“Smarter City”.

China Telecom Assists in ICT-based Projects

On July 12, China’s Premier Li Keqiang held a standing conference of the State Council to study the policies and measures about promoting the investment and put forward the requirements for the national strategy“Broadband China”. China Telecom is to increase the Internet speed for the third time in China. Concretely, it is going to follow the “Broadband China”with the better broadband accessibility, optimized information consumption environment and assistance in the national ICT-based projects.

As the largest cable broadband service supplier in the world, China Telecom always considers the improvement of broadband services and qualities for Chinese consumers as its ultimate re- sponsibility. In the past 15 years, China Telecom has already staged two cam- paigns of increasing Internet speed, and China Telecom Shanghai has made five of them. The new campaign of increasing the Internet speed to 100Mb this time brings the broadband for Chinese consumers closer to the international level, good for the economic development and transformation of this country.

The 100Mb broadband is of great help for the development of ICT in China. China’s Internet-based industries are booming with the continuous appearance of big data, cloud computing, Internet of things and mobile Internet. Several domestic innovative Internet enterprises have been founded there, walking abreast with the stateof-the-art technologies of the world.

Meanwhile, the governments of different levels pushed the development of “Broadband China” as the essential support for the “Smarter City”and the intelligence improvement of enterprises. China Telecom is now the largest rudimentary Internet operator in China. Its assumption of the new campaign of Internet speed increase will have profound influence over the in-depth combination of ICT development with urbanization and industrialization.

Let the household broadband fly

Generally, the 8Mb broadband is enough for the users to watch the HD IPTV. If a house is installed with the 100Mb broadband, it will create an In-ternet world. Through the fiber-optics all demand about online video, music, game and so on could be met. The online shopping has become the habit of many people. With the help of 100Mb broadband, it only needs 1 second to finish the order and another second for making payment, freeing you from the worries of “no time for sales promotional campaign”.

In the “Age of 100Mb Broadband”, the smart phone, laptop and Pad can enjoy the large broadband, allowing several people to enjoy online games without delay and allowing family members to collect their own favorite HD IPTV programs.

“Smart Household”within Reach

The 100Mb broadband is also going to assist in the upgrade of Smart Household. As the 100Mb broadband is connected to more and more families, more apps and services will be brought to their daily life, letting each family share the fruits of the ICT development. The household customers can build a seamless smart network group through the fiber-optical broadband, high-speed mobile Internet and household smart gateway to have the integrated solutions to information, communication and entertainment. They can watch HD videos, play motion sensing games and use smart household apps.

In addition to that, the users can also have video monitoring for the safety of their houses, pay for the gas, water and electricity online and realize the function of sharing information across IPTV, Pad and smart phones. The Smart Household is going to be connected to Smarter City and Smart Community, which will expand the depth and width of use of ICT in the household level. The “Smart Household” can bring about the ICT-based, digital and intelligent family life and establish a smoother bridge between the family and the city and society, making the blood relation more intimate and the life more convenient.

Pave the way for information consumption

The analysis organization says that the information consumption market in China reached RMB 1.7 trillion in 2012, up 29% from a year before. This generated the additional industrial output of RMB 930 billion. In 2015, the size of information consumption is expected to exceed RMB 3.2 trillion.

Such a large size proves the thriving demand and consumption power of the masses. It also reflects the significance of improving the Internet speed. Since only the faster network can ensure more apps and experiences to be brought to consumers. The 100Mb broadband is like an expressway, on which all information consumption objects are running fast, bringing more versatile demand and services and greater social benefits.

The logistics of contents is the best example of the benefits. The large amount of data could be transferred through the Internet too. The express is no longer needed. For example, a video that takes 100Gb could only be sent from Guangzhou to Beijing as stored in a hard disk, which is slow and insecure. The 100Mb network allows it to be transferred directly through the Internet, which is quick, safe and much less costly.

The change has already begun. China Telecom, as the main force of the broadband construction in China, accelerates the upgrade of fiber-optical network and the infrastructure of communication through the “Broadband China” strategy. It is dedicated to building a refined broadband network. Meanwhile, China Telecom holds to the principle of “customer first, service foremost” and provides a series of services for customers in the installation, maintenance and service of broadband.

The 6th internet speed increase

China Telecom Shanghai began the strategic deployment of “Metro Optical Network” (MONET) in 2009. From 2011 to now, it already increased the Internet speed five times based on the “Smarter City” project and overcame many difficulties. The average bandwidth in Shanghai increased by 100% annually and it only took two years to complete the upgrade that cost the U.S., Japan and Korea a dozen years. The MONET project in Shanghai witnessed leapforward development. The campaign with the theme of “New City Images 2007-2012” held by the Shanghai government also listed the construction of “No. 1 fiber-optic city” in China as one of the ten major progresses in five years.

By June, the subscribers to China Telecom Shanghai’s MONET took 73% of the total Internet users in this city. The average bandwidth of the broadband users has exceeded 20Mb. According to NetIndex, CCIndex and 360, Shanghai ranked No. 1 in China in terms of the Internet speed.

Then, here comes the 6th time of Internet speed increase, which will bring the Internet industry of Shanghai to a new height.
