Some people believe that the Internet is a brand new production tool, which is the fastest tool to get rid of poverty in the history of mankind, while others say that the Internet is an insurmountable gap, and it will bring about a "digital divide" between the rich and the poor, and between urban and rural areas. We believe it is the former, and that the creation of the Internet has given poor countries, regions, and poor people a chance to get back on their feet.
Productivity is a fundamental factor, technology is always material, but people are active, everything depends on the perfect combination of people and technology. If any country, company, or individual remains stuck in their ways, the results will be counterproductive.
The essence of the Internet is the flow of information and the opening of information. With the spread of the Internet, information will reach everyone, and the advent of the digital age may bring opportunities for less developed countries, regions and individuals. We should now have a clear understanding that the value of the network economy is not that it can immediately bring much tangible wealth and profits to society and enterprises, but that it can create a new social form, provide a platform for all members of society to improve their social capabilities and economic creativity, so that almost all the industries are constructed on a new starting point, so that enterprises have the possibility to realize the wealth of rapid aggregation and The first step is to make sure that you are able to get the best out of your business.
Korea is located on the Korean Peninsula in Asia, with an area of 99,237 square kilometers, a population of about 48 million, and an economy that is among the highest in Asia and one of the highest in the world.
As one of the old "Four Little Dragons of Asia," Korea began its economic takeoff in the 1970s, creating an economic miracle comparable to that of Japan. From the point of view of the output value, to the 80's Korea's pillar industry is the chemical fiber industry, and after the 90's, electrical appliances, electronics has been occupying the first place, the late 90's, South Korea's major industries have entered the maturity period, facing the slowdown in growth, international competitiveness of the serious challenge of the decline, coupled with the Asian financial crisis to make South Korea's traditional economy has been hit by a major blow to the South Korean government realized that the 21st century is the era of knowledge and information to determine international competitiveness, and should vigorously develop knowledge and information technology. This prompted the Korean government to realize that the 21st century is the era of knowledge and information that determines international competitiveness, and that it should vigorously develop digital information industry. After several years of development, Korea's digital information industry has impressive achievements. Without much publicity, Korea has developed into one of the fastest growing Internet countries in Asia, on a par with Singapore and Hong Kong. According to Korea's Ministry of Information and Communication, with the strong support of the visionary Korean government, Korea has completed the installation of fiber optic cables throughout the country to enable high-speed Internet and telecommunication services.
A high-speed fiber-optic cable backbone network for all areas of Korea will be completed in 2002, when the speed of Internet information transmission throughout Korea will be increased by 100 times. The Korean government has invested 40 trillion won (1,200 won to 1 US dollar) since 2000 to build a nationwide ultra-high-speed information and communications network by 2005, and the majority of Internet users in Korea will use the newly built ultra-high-speed communications network. Home users will enjoy 10Mbps and bandwidth, and personal mobile users will enjoy 2Mbps bandwidth*, and people will be able to access high-quality multimedia information services at low prices at any time and any place.
According to the 2000 Annual Survey of the Information and Communication Sector published by the Korea Statistical Office on April 24, 2001, last year, Korean nationals used computers for an average of 17.2 hours per week, and an average of 2.5 hours per day. This is nearly three times more than in 1997 (5.9 hours). Time spent using business PC communications or the Internet also increased 2.5 times year-on-year, which is a very impressive figure.
Average household computer ownership reached 46.5% in 2000, equivalent to one computer for every two households, compared to 29% in 1997. Regarding the main use of computers, 40.4% were used for PC communication or Internet access, reaching five times the 1997 figure. Three out of every 10 households (31.4%) have installed a dedicated line for commercial PC communication or Internet; more than half (51.6%) of Korean residents over 6 years old can operate a computer.
Nearly 8 out of 10 households (77.2%) have a cell phone, making it a complete necessity. The ratio of households with dedicated Internet lines in farming and fishing villages is only 17.8%, which is lower than that in urban areas (35.3%), and the proportion of the population with the ability to operate computers is also 34.6%, compared with 55.9% in urban areas. The good hardware and software and cultural environment make the Korean information industry y rooted in people's hearts and minds, which is favorable to the further development of Korea's information industry.
In order to develop the digital information industry, the Korean government has put forward a series of favorable policies. For example, on January 31, 2001, the Ministry of Information and Communication of Korea issued the "Revitalization of .com Enterprise Support Program", which stipulates that the government will give financial and administrative support to the outstanding enterprises among the interconnected network enterprises that are going to develop overseas in the future. In addition, the government decided to set up a special fund for .com companies with a capital of 15 billion won in February in order to solve the problem of capital shortage of .com companies that are in business difficulties. Meanwhile, the government will invest 160 billion won this year, and by 2005, it plans to invest 1 trillion won to develop the Korean software industry. In the "Policy of Building a Software Powerhouse" announced by the Ministry of Information and Communication of Korea on the 26th, it is said that after the realization of the plan in 2005, the production scale of Korea's domestic software industry will reach 37.12 trillion won, and the export value will reach 3.3 billion U.S. dollars, which will be one of the top 7 in the world. In addition, it was decided that this year, the overseas marketing front base IT support centers, from the current two (Silicon Valley, U.S., Beijing, China) to six (Boston, U.S., Tokyo, Japan, Shanghai, China, Scotland, England), and next year will be the establishment of six new IT support centers, plans to operate a total of 12 IT support centers ****.
At the same time, South Korea also put forward a grand "e-government" plan, plans to be realized in 2002. At that time, Korea's management of the petition service, funds transfer, taxes, social security, education and administration of the government related to nationals, all business affairs will be able to be realized on the Internet. [1]
Looking at the process of Internet development in South Korea, and then do some comparisons with China's Internet development situation, I feel that the development of China's Internet there are still some problems, which we may wish to explore here.
I. Comparison of relevant basic data
Let's first analyze some data on the status of Internet development in China and Korea. The following data come from China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) and Korea Network Information Center (KNIC)
Regarding the information centers of each country, the content of the data survey is slightly different. Data survey, the content is slightly different, such as the relevant report of Korea focuses more on macro survey, such as the number of service providers, Internet interconnection points, the number of hosts in each domain, etc.; China's report focuses more on micro, especially the survey and analysis of Internet users' situation, such as the distribution of users, the proportion of users' occupation, the proportion of income, etc. But some of them are **** the same as those of CNNIC and KNIC. But there are some *** with all the survey data, we mainly on the following three aspects of the data for comparison.
Number of Internet users:
China Korea
1998.7 - 1.175 million 3.103 million
1999.7 - 4 million 10.86 million
2000.7 - 16.9 million 16.4 million
2001.12.5 million 20.93 million
Since the 1990s, South Korea has been committed to the development of the Internet, and according to the Korea Internet Center's available history, there were 138,000 in 1994 and 1,634,000 in 1997. 1998 to August 2000 statistics are listed in the table above. From the current situation, China and South Korea are basically the same in terms of the number of people on the Internet, but South Korea's total population is only 45 million, so for South Korea, the number of people on the Internet has accounted for 43% of the country's total population. For China, with a population of 1.2 billion, the number of Internet users is only 1.8% of the total population. At the end of December 2000, there were 19.04 million Internet users in South Korea, and by the end of March this year, the number had increased to 20.9 million, an increase of nearly 3.9 percentage points. 20.93 million Internet users means that in South Korea, the proportion of all people over the age of 7, the proportion of Internet users accounted for 48.6%.
Domain name registrations:
.cn domain.kr domain
1998.79,41526,166
1999.729,045207,023
2000.7--2000.899,734493.691
According to the Korea Internet Statistics Report, Korea's record of domain name registrations under Kr was 61 in 1993 and grew to 8,045 in 1997. However, the growth of domain names registered under Cn in China was slow until 2000, which was disproportionate to the number of people accessing the Internet in China, and also disproportionate to the state of Internet development in China.
According to relevant reports, although the number of domain names registered in China under Cn has not grown much, the new network, authorized by ICANN as an authoritative top-level agent for international domain names, has also recently published a report on China's international domain name index for the second quarter of 2000. Statistics show that by June 30, 2000, the total number of international domain name registrations in mainland China was as high as 477,900, of which ".com" was 410,900, accounting for 86%, ".net" was 57300, accounting for 12%, ".net" was 57300, accounting for 12%, ".net" was 57300, accounting for 12%, ".net" was 57300, accounting for 12%, and ".net" was 57300. 12%, and ".org" was 9,700, accounting for 2%. Similar to domestic domain names, international domain name registrations were mainly concentrated in three major cities, namely Beijing, Guangdong and Shanghai, with Guangdong topping the list with 19.82% of registrations, followed by Beijing with 14.25% and Shanghai with 11.19%. There are only 99,734 domain names registered in China under Cn, while the number of international domain names is as high as 477,900, with the number of international domain name registrations nearly five times the number of domestic domain name registrations. It is probably fair to say that the number of domain names registered in China in general is comparable to the number of domain names registered in South Korea, just that the number of domain names registered under Cn is small.
Number of sites and IP addresses:
Number of WWW sites in China Number of IP addresses in Korea* 256
1998.73,70017,053
1999.79,90623,917
2000.727,28945.242
Second, the development of the Chinese Internet Problems in China's Internet development
From the comparison of some of the above data, we have seen at least three obvious problems, i.e., the proportion of Internet users to the total population of the country is too small, too few domain names are registered under the CN, and the number of Web sites is too small, which reflects that most people are just browsing, not using the Internet. But these are only superficial problems, in fact, behind this hidden more problems, we may wish to start from the surface of the problem, and then from the surface to the inside of a more in-depth analysis.
1, the number of people and groups of Internet users
As the previous data suggests, the number of Internet users in China accounts for only 1.4% of the country's population, so the rural population is still a gap.
As Internet technology develops, it will make China's developed regions more relatively developed and its backward regions more relatively backward. In a word, it will further strengthen, not weaken, the starkly contrasting urban-rural dichotomy that already exists in China. For quite some time, the urban digital China and the rural traditional China will coexist, and the rich and poor will continue.
The realization of Internet technology requires a highly developed economic base, as well as advanced high-tech and high-tech talent. But in most rural areas of China, these are extremely scarce. What is needed in the countryside is not the most advanced technology like the Internet, but rather applicable technologies such as soil and water ecological conservation, variety improvement, reform of farming and cultivation techniques, small mechanized farming tools, diversified business, crop disease and pest control, drought-resistant crops and water-saving irrigation, and farmland water conservancy planning.
According to the China Internet Information Center, there were 22.5 million Internet users in China by the end of 2000. Therefore, Internet access in China is a "rich" game for a few percent of the population. For a farmer with an annual income of 300 yuan and a fee of 120 yuan for Internet access, it is absolutely unaffordable.
So let's analyze the people who are already online. According to the statistics of China Internet Network Information Center in July 2000, China's Internet population has the following characteristics:
Below 18 years old 18-2425--3031--3536--4041--4551--6060+
1.65%46.77%29.18%10.03 5.59%5.07%1.30%0.41%
Users' industries are distributed as follows:

8.26%28.19%37.77% 18.45%4.48%2.85%
Analyzing the above three sets of data, the age group of 18 to 30 years old accounted for 76% ,the per capita income of wages below 2,000 yuan accounted for 74.22%, as well as from the point of view of the distribution of the industry of the Internet users, this is a group with distinctive characteristics. They are young, well-educated, with relatively high incomes, and are mainly company employees and professional technicians. Due to their mastery of information and network technology, their positive identification with the Internet, in-depth understanding and good comprehension. Or they are mostly young people who graduated from college and went to work not long ago and engaged in white-collar jobs.
Korea Internet Information Center, although there is no such detailed report, but according to the author in Seoul to learn the situation, in the people who go online, South Korea's government management agencies, scientific research, educational institutions Internet access rate is 100 percent.
In the first half of 2001, the Korean survey media Internet Metrix company was commissioned by the Ministry of Information and Communication, in the Korean people to carry out a quarterly survey of Internet penetration, they did a sample of 3,582 households by telephone interviews with the survey came up with the results. The results show that the average weekly Internet access time per Internet user has dropped from 11.73 hours in December last year to 10.67 hours now. Among the users surveyed, 58.1% went online to retrieve information, 19.9% went online to play games and entertainment, and 14.8% to send e-mail. For study purposes 3.1%, chatting 1.5%, browsing stock information and online trading 1.3%, and online shopping and reservation services 1.1%. The survey also found that the gender gap among Korean Internet users is narrowing, with 11.96 million men and 8.97 million women accounting for 57.1 percent and 42.9 percent of the total of 20.9 million Internet users, respectively. This compares with 66.9 percent and 33.1 percent three months ago. [2]
2, the problem of domain name registration
As mentioned earlier, China's CN domain name registered under only 99,734, but the international domain name is as high as 477,900, the amount of international domain name registrations to reach the domestic domain name registrations of nearly five times. People can't help but ask: what's wrong with Chinese domain names? This phenomenon is rare in other countries. The increase in the number of foreign domain names not only increases the international information flow, crowding out valuable international channel resources, but also makes a lot of foreign exchange out of the country, into the pockets of foreign companies.
From the domain name registration process, the domestic domain name registration procedures are cumbersome, the cycle is longer. The application for a domestic domain name must be made by a legal person, and the enterprise needs to submit a series of written applications, forms and documents, etc., and after tens of days, or even ten days of waiting, it can be approved. However, international domain name agents like ChinaDNS provide an extremely simple and fast registration process. Both individual and corporate users only need to fill out a simple form online, and can successfully own their own domain name within a few minutes after submission. For companies eager to enter the network economy, the choice of registering an international domain name is undoubtedly a time-saving and labor-saving shortcut.
From the market environment, China's domestic domain names have been managed exclusively by CNNIC for several years, and there is no market competition. On the other hand, in China's international domain name registration market, due to the coexistence of several top-level and second-level agents, the competition is extremely fierce. For the sake of their own development, in order to have a greater competitive advantage, the agents are competing to take positive measures and flexible means, and constantly make rapid adjustments to their business strategies in response to the actual needs of corporate users and individual users, or promote various promotional activities across the country, or play the service card, or win the game by surprise with the price, with the aim of winning more users and market share.
From the market price point of view, in the past two years, the domestic domain name registration price has basically stabilized at 300 yuan per year, without much change. The international domain name due to the total cost of registration continues to reduce and market competition intensified, but its registration price fell again and again, the range reached a surprising point. From the beginning of thousands of dollars, until the recent tens of dollars per year represented by the new network. At the same time, all kinds of ancillary services also continue to renovate, so that users benefit greatly from it. In the financial strength is not strong but the market dominated by a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises and individuals, it is clear that the registration of an international domain name is extremely affordable and practical.
So as a national Internet information center, China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), which is responsible for the management and operation of the national top-level domain name CN, how does it look at this issue? In the face of the aggressive momentum of foreign domain names, how does CNNIC respond, and will CNNIC enhance the competitive advantage with foreign domain names by lowering the price? In this regard, CNNIC replied that CNNIC will meet the challenge of foreign domain names with high-quality services, rather than a simple price war. This is partly due to the fact that CNNIC does not have the right to directly revise the charges of CN domain names, and partly due to the fact that the price is not the main influencing factor for choosing to register a domain name. In May 2000, when CNNIC solicited online opinions on the revision of domain name registration management methods for the whole society, only two of the more than 100 feedbacks mentioned the price issue. Obviously, how much influence can a difference of one or two hundred dollars a year have on the decision-making of a company or enterprise? Therefore, CNNIC believes that the main reason for this situation is due to the overly strict registration management system in China. For example, although Japan has 28.3 million Internet users, the number of domain names in Japan is only more than 100,000 due to the implementation of a stricter registration policy than that of China. The United Kingdom, with 19.5 million Internet users, due to its loose registration policy, in August, the number of domain name registrations in the United Kingdom has reached 2.1 million.
The revision of the management approach has been urgent. For this reason, the Ministry of Information Industry commissioned CNNIC to carry out a research on the revision of the current administrative measures for domain name registration in the first half of this year. The CNNIC Working Committee and CNNIC proposed to the Ministry of Information Industry the following points: relax the naming restriction of domain names and open up domain name resources; simplify the registration procedures and improve the efficiency of domain name registration; open up personal domain names in an appropriate form to develop domain name resources; establish a domain name dispute resolution mechanism to prevent malicious registrations; and reduce the charges to encourage individuals and organizations to access the Internet. At present, the Ministry of Information Industry is actively engaged in the revision of domain name management methods, the relevant provisions are expected to be introduced at the end of this year, early next year.
For the reduction of domain name fee, CNNIC suggests that in order to cooperate with the opening of personal domain name, the domain name fee can be divided into two categories, individuals and organizations are treated differently, and individuals are given more preferential prices to encourage individuals to go online and use the Internet. Of course, after all, the number of CN domain names has just exceeded 100,000, and the price reduction cannot be compared with the number of foreign domain names with 20 million. However, in order to make the majority of Internet users really benefit, CNNIC also suggests to learn from foreign domain name registration system, the domain name registration organization is divided into domain name system administrator and domain name registration service provider. Domain name system administrators charge domain name fees for domain name registration service providers, which are used to maintain the domain name database and carry out relevant research, and the fee standard is set by the state. Domain name registration service providers for the final Internet users to collect domain name fees, the cost of each service provider in accordance with their market competition strategy, so that the end user benefit.
First-class service cannot be separated from first-class hardware support. With the increase of business volume, CNNIC began to invest heavily in infrastructure construction. in June 2000, CNNIC invested more than three million yuan to build a call center and opened 800 telephone number, which was paid by CNNIC for the service consulting calls made by users. The system will open telephone, fax, e-mail, text negotiation, VOIP call, webpage **** enjoyment and other service functions phase by phase, in order to provide first-class customer service to the vast number of Internet users. At present, CNNIC accesses more than 1,000 800 consultation calls every day. In the second half of this year, CNNIC planned to invest more than 8 million dollars to improve CN domain name registration service equipment and software system so as to reach the international level in hardware construction. In the case of improving the conditions in all aspects, the situation of registering domain names under CN may be improved.
3. Seeing and using the Internet
The Internet economy is rapidly emerging, but compared with developed countries, China's gap is still very large. The number of people online accounts for a low percentage of the country's total population, the use of the network is not efficient, and the network's many functions have not yet been developed. The majority of Internet users are "watching the Internet" rather than "using the Internet", which is one of the obvious gaps.
Nowadays, domestic network operators have designed a large number of web pages, providing a lot of news, information, pictures, materials, etc., for Internet users to see. The "look at the net" is also a function of the network, Internet users can get some useful information. However, at present, many web pages in China are reprinting news and information from various newspapers and magazines, and there is not much original information on their own, and their timeliness is not fast.
The biggest role of the network is also to "use the network". The timeliness of the network allows us to efficiently deal with all kinds of modern society's work, study, and life affairs. In developed countries, e-commerce, online shopping, online financial management, distance education, telemedicine, etc., to provide people with great convenience. But in our country, many functions of "using the Internet" have not yet been developed. Many new needs of people can be satisfied with the functions of the network. For example, at present, due to people's work, business, the expansion of the scope of life activities, the phenomenon of separation of more and more people, some people go out, the need to mobilize their own accounts on the funds for their own use outside, online financial management function can help him with the network scheduling of the funds on the account. But now the country has not developed this function of the network to.
Korea's Ministry of Industry and Resources announced that the Ministry recently commissioned the Korea E-Commerce Promotion Institute to conduct a statistical survey of 1,000 companies, mainly listed on the stock exchange and Nasdaq. The survey shows that the size of the Korean e-commerce market is expected to reach 29.34 trillion won in 2001, compared to 17.42 trillion won in 2000.
The Ministry of Industrial Resources of Korea predicts that the size of the e-commerce market will exceed 187 trillion won in 2005. In terms of transaction objects, the business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce market size will reach 8.18 trillion won, accounting for 46.9% of all; business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce market size will reach 3.02 trillion won, accounting for 17.3% of all; business-to-government (B2G) e-commerce market size will reach 200 billion won, accounting for 1.2% of all. [3]
South Korea is also using high-tech management methods such as the Internet to improve the efficiency of the construction industry and to eliminate corruption.
Two major construction accidents in Korea in the mid-1990s still haunt the industry today, and in 2000, the construction industry accounted for only 8.2% of GDP, down from 11.6% before the 1996 Asian financial crisis. The construction industry needs new stimulus to activate, at the same time, it also needs to take new measures to improve the efficiency of the work, to eliminate the corruption of the project, to avoid the tragedy from happening again. Korean companies came up with the idea of using the Internet to solve this problem.
A system for project management via the Web has been adopted in the Korean construction industry. This is developed by the Korean company Samsung, a system called Prima (Internet application services provided by the project resource and information management). Prima system can manage the flow of construction materials from the supplier to the construction site; management of human resources and so on. The project manager simply enters the requirements and the system automatically calculates how much material is actually needed and when it needs to be delivered. This system also lets construction managers know exactly how many workers are needed at a given time, helping them to rationalize labor allocation.
The system also allows those who want to make a killing in the project to not have the opportunity to drill, because the transaction between the supplier and the construction manager is completely transparent, all the people involved in the project can see the project material ordering contract and the construction personnel labor contract.
Jung Kyung Hee, Deputy Minister of Construction and Transportation, said, "Strengthening the power of the Internet is an important way to enhance competitiveness in the Korean construction industry in the long run." [4]
Two years ago, the system was used for the first time in the construction of a large complex, the Castle Palace. According to Samsung, during the construction of this project, the system saved 4 billion won ($3 million), or 0.8 percent of the total project investment. It also advanced the construction period by five months.
When the first occupant moves into the Castle Palace in 2003, he will be in a fully networked world: a 3G wireless network system will allow them to control the air conditioning from their cell phones; and a telemedicine monitor in the lobby of the building will allow them to test their blood pressure and other important health indicators. The results will be transmitted to the hospital through the building's broadband network system.
How was this system utilized in this project? All materials, from cement to steel to various pipes, have their own codes in the Prima system database. The project managers send the order details directly to the suppliers via the Prima system. The suppliers and transportation companies understand when deliveries are due, and the project managers know exactly when the materials need to be in place. Hwang, the system developer, says, "With this system, we no longer have to worry about inventory issues and schedule overruns."
The Prima system is also used to monitor the more than 2,000 construction workers working on the Castle Palace. Because there are often multiple construction teams on a project, it's not easy to manage construction workers as a whole. the Prima system equips each worker with a bar-coded ID card and stores their information in a database. For example, if a worker is injured on a construction site, the project manager can quickly identify him and the work he is doing, and quickly notify the medical staff and arrange for the adjustment of the construction team. In this way, the person in charge of the project can be very clear about the number of workers on their site and various situations, and know how much work remains to be done and how many workers are needed.
OK Hyun from the Korean Government Building Research Institute believes that this system is also applicable in small and medium-sized construction projects, and will be favored by these small and medium-sized project contractors. Because many contractors are now looking for ways to reduce costs, they also know that high-tech can bring them great productivity. Samsung's Prima system has been used in more than 40 projects in Korea and overseas, including the construction of a high-speed railroad connecting North and South Taiwan. This will give confidence to other building contractors.
The Internet economy is recognized in developed countries as an economic enabler for the 21st century, and the development of Internet capabilities will boost the economy and enable those who are online to get more out of their "use of the Internet".
On the whole, China's e-commerce is still in the primary stage, the main factors restricting the development of e-commerce in China are:
Comprehensive information capacity and low level of informatization. According to the World Bank statistics, per 10,000 people connected to the host, the world average is 63.1 units, high-income countries for 374.8 units, low- and middle-income countries for 2.14 units, China is only 0.16 units. And China's computer software and hardware personnel accounted for the proportion of employment in the information industry is far lower than in developed countries.
Low degree of enterprise informatization. Enterprises generally have a low level of information management, information organizations are not sound, insufficient investment in information technology and construction costs are too high, the use of computer networks in business management is not sufficient and other issues. According to statistics, at present, China's national key enterprises of information technology and equipment accumulated assets accounted for only 0.3% of the total assets, and developed countries and large enterprises 8% -10% of the level of the gap.
The level of information technology research and development, production and application is low. For example, in the field of basic research and development, with intellectual property rights of the basic or core technologies owned by world-class R & D organizations or foreign manufacturers. In the field of product or application development of technology integration, system construction and application of product integration, and value-added and value-added services of information integration, the same similar situation exists.
In China, despite the rapid development of the Internet industry, but at the same time, due to the low degree of informatization in China, the Internet in the process of development, there are "four shortages.
A lack of speed. People who have been on the Internet will be for the slow speed of the Internet and worry, access to a site, often have to wait a long time to display the content. From the current point of view, China's Internet is the most lack of network bandwidth.
The second lack of Chinese sites and Chinese information. Most Chinese people only understand Chinese. However, the lack of Chinese information on the Internet has hindered the popularization of the Internet in China. In recent years, China has done a lot of work in the enrichment of Chinese information, especially last year, the full implementation of the "government online" project, will hold 80% of the valuable information resources of the community at all levels of departments of more than 3,000 databases moved to the Internet, but relative to the netizens of a variety of Chinese information needs, China's Chinese sites and Chinese information is not rich, this will be the first time in China. Chinese information is not rich, which will become one of the constraints on the development of China's Internet "bottleneck" for a period of time.
The third lack of low fees. If an Internet user surfing the Internet for one hour a day, according to the current price, then his Internet and telecommunications fees is about 210 yuan, if the average monthly income of 1,000 yuan, the cost of this fee also accounted for one-fifth of the monthly income of Internet users. Although last year, China's telecommunications sector to reduce network charges, network charges have been reduced from more than 10 yuan per hour to 4 yuan per hour, at the same time, communications charges from 0.18 yuan per minute to 0.09 yuan per 3 minutes, but the same level of income, the price of such network tariffs are still too high.
Fourth, the lack of related knowledge popularization. First of all, the lack of popularization of Internet technology knowledge, many people in our country do not know what the Internet, not to mention e-commerce is going on.
Third, the way to solve
As far as China is concerned, the popularization of the Internet is certainly not much behind the developed countries, we are still in many aspects of the great shortage, we should have a sense of urgency.
1, in the institutional need to break the constraints to create competition
Internet services in the Internet industry has always occupied an extremely important position, during which the backbone network operators and information service providers should be a reasonable relationship between their respective division of labor, mutual cooperation and limited competition. However, due to institutional reasons, the development of these two levels of operators in China has traveled a rugged road. Backbone network operation, the original by China Telecom "domination" of the situation is with the development of advanced network technology and industrial structure adjustment to change.
In terms of network technology, backbone network transmission technology and access technology have undergone significant changes, of which the backbone network transmission technology has been the focus of industrial concern, because any country, the region's backbone network transmission performance is the decisive factor affecting its information superhighway. In the past, the Internet mainly relied on the long-distance telephone links of telecommunication companies in remote transmission, no matter it is fiber-optic cable or satellite communication, no matter it is IP Over SDH or IP Over ATM, all of them are "technical improvements" on the traditional telephone service network in order to make it meet the requirements of high-speed data communication. These "improvements" have, on the one hand, enabled a more efficient use of the resources of the current telecommunication network, contributing to the rapid spread of the Internet at a particular time, but on the other hand, they are tantamount to protecting the backwardness of the telecommunication network's "electricity
