Tian Shubin, president of Xinhua, said that in recent years, the trend of various innovative applications of the Internet has overshadowed the trend of mediaization, showing a more balanced development trend. Internet companies to push the "Internet +" can appear in the government's work report, is the Internet industry to explore the new normal development path a major contribution, one of the direct results is to bring the emergence of new business models. Xinhua, for example, not only provides massive news information, but also accumulates high-quality resources in the fields of big data business, online education business, and popularization of science and technology programs, which enhances its ability to serve the public and its value. In response to WeChat Red Packet, which has triggered the public this Spring Festival, Wang Wenbin, General Manager of CCTV International Network, believes that cooperation with social platforms is an important step in CCTV's transition to new media. In the future, this kind of cooperation will be extended from communication to the field of content and production, resulting in new forms and models. For example, what effect will be produced by putting branded content such as "News Feed" premiering on cell phones? Media convergence will surely give birth to new, vital and highly promising business forms in the future. "Internet+" is not an absolute boon to all industries.

Operators to explore the new model of traffic management The country attaches importance to the development of "Internet +", is bound to further promote the construction of information infrastructure, basic telecommunications operating companies in the network construction and maintenance of the role of more prominent. In fact, the three major operators of 2014, the situation is quite tense. Three of the highest profits in China Mobile net profit declined for the second consecutive year, the largest decline in 16 years. But the three major operators are still investing heavily in network construction. China Telecom will invest 61 billion yuan in 2015 to build a 4G network, and China Mobile has a 72.2 billion yuan investment budget for 4G networks. In the previous three years, China Mobile's basic network investment exceeded 70 billion yuan. With the rapid development of the Internet, the Internet domestic and international traffic is growing very fast. Telecom operators used to expand their backbone networks once every two years, but now they have to do it twice a year, which alone is a huge cost pressure. Operators have invested heavily in network construction, but have not received a return commensurate with this. Due to the large-scale substitution and diversion of Internet OTT business to traditional telecom business, in the past 2014, the average revenue growth of the three major basic operators reached only 3.6%, far lower than the GDP growth rate in the same period. And Internet companies generally up to 40% or even 50% increase can not let them look forward to. China Mobile Vice President Sha Yuejia said that the operators' contribution to the network is obvious. The development of China's Internet industry, the need for operators and Internet companies to cooperate **** win, each show their strengths, each fully consider each other's core interests. Shao Guanglu, deputy general manager of China Unicom, said that operators and Internet companies are interdependent and mutually promoting relationship, operators attach great importance to the Internet company, which has been listed as a new category of important customers independent of the public customers and industry customers, will provide new services according to the needs of Internet companies, *** with the promotion of Internet development. Chen Zhongyue, deputy general manager of China Telecom, said that the mobile Internet era to telecom operators certainly bring high-speed growth in the traffic business, but in the absence of a new business model, relying solely on the existing traffic revenue, to fill the gap brought about by the decline in revenue from traditional business. In the context of the country attaches great importance to the development of "Internet +", all industries hope to increase investment in Internet infrastructure. For operators, it is imperative to explore new business models in the era of traffic management.
