The broadcasters are expected to release numbers into the network from June, will it have any impact on the three major carriers?

The impact is really very limited, and the three major carriers may have a bit more impact on Unicom in comparison.

Broadcasting's own 5G development has 3 difficulties to break through

Why did the three major carriers get 5G (fifth-generation mobile communications) licenses along with broadcasters, while broadcasters delayed releasing their numbers? This and the construction and operation of the mobile network has a lot to do, which also led to the radio and television have to face three difficult problems must break through:

The first problem is to support the radio and television network terminal phone

Consumers want to access the radio and television network first to have a cell phone that can support the 700M band 5G, at present, like the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro. Pro on the Jingdong platform did not mention the ability to support 5G broadcasting

The iPhone 13 Pro's description of the goods effects involving 5G support

From the user's point of view, if the mainstream cell phone on the market can not support the broadcaster's network, in order to save a few dollars of the monthly rent so that the user to spend a couple of thousand to buy broadcasters to buy the terminal, and do not know the broadcaster's signal is good or not The user's willingness to switch to a new network will certainly not be high.

From the point of view of cell phone manufacturers, support for new operators involved in costs, including software, hardware, testing, testing, network testing, production, warehousing and other costs, in the case of sales prospects are not particularly clear, may be customized to meet the requirements of the broadcasters a few cell phones in the broadcasters' channel sales, but let them in their own channels to promote the sale of their own money-making business, then there is no that manufacturer is willing to do thunderbolt. The company is willing to be a thunderbolt.

What the radio and television networks can do at the beginning may be the terminal subsidies to appease potential users and terminal manufacturers, but the effect of how the short term will not be too obvious, and will also squeeze their own profitability.

The next problem comes from the 700M band itself

"The best conditions" of the 700M band network, the band is very good, 5G is very poor, 700M network band is very good and 2G, 3G, 4G (second and third, The 700M band is good for 2G, 3G and 4G (second, third and fourth generation of mobile communications), but too narrow for 5G. 700M itself limits the users, just like a highway, 700M can only support two lanes, the lanes themselves are limited, more cars are blocked, and more users can't get on the network, while the 2.1G network band is like 8 lanes, with more lanes, more cars, and a higher frequency to accommodate more users.

Photo from the network the lower the frequency, the better the coverage, but the lower the capacity

In the first-tier and second-tier cities, the busier the business district (CBD), airports, high-speed rail stations and other high-density, high-traffic areas, the 700M band due to the limitations of the bandwidth is obviously not to support the above scenarios, and the advantage of the coverage of the 700M in the countryside and the outskirts of the countryside will be very obvious.

The final challenge is how broadcasters can establish their own operational capabilities

Some of this comes from outside, as broadcasters are now working with mobile to lay their own 700M 5G base stations across the country, with broadcasters paying for them and mobile responsible for building and maintaining them, so the question is, how can a mobile operate and maintain its own 2.1G frequency 5G sites and maintain its own 2.1G frequency 5G sites in the same region? The problem is that the same area mobile both to operate and maintain their own 2.1G frequency 5G site and to maintain the broadcaster 700M 5G site, daily no extreme weather may not matter, but once the snow, hurricanes, floods, lightning and other extreme weather caused by the power supply interruption, resulting in network failure, mobile operation and maintenance team may be limited, so this time whose network is more secure here it is self-evident.

And some of the difficulties from its own, from the release of the number of delays (originally expected in May is now planned for June), indicating that the radio and television itself for the operation of the mobile before the may be too optimistic, did not predict some of the actual implementation of the difficulties, and is the country's full-scale roll-out of the construction.

Additionally, the broadcaster itself needs to build its own professional team from customer service, network maintenance, troubleshooting, terminal channels, promotion and a series of other to compete with the three major operators. Then there is still a long way to go.

Why is the impact on Unicom the greatest?

"Boss two competition, the old three old four no more" Ma Huateng mentioned when talking about the competition between Tencent and Ali, the current domestic three major carriers 2022 1 quarterly profit look, mobile 25.6 billion, telecom 7.2 billion, Unicom 2 billion, mobile boss, telecom two, Unicom three, and now the broadcaster is the oldest four most vulnerable, then it To survive the target must be placed on the weakest old three Unicom. Therefore, the old three Unicom bear the pressure of competition is certainly also the largest.

And for us general consumers what circumstances can we consider using the broadcaster's network?

If it is an average student who has limited access to the Internet, makes a simple voice call, buys a new phone for him/her, has a low monthly rent, and does not have high Internet access requirements, he/she can consider it.

If the elderly, go out less, usually usually focus on phone calls, live in the area of the radio and television network coverage is better, then also can be considered.
