package service has been criticized
Nanduwan Financial News reporter previously reported that China Radio and Television and China Mobile signed a 5G co-construction and sharing supplementary agreement . China Mobile will first bear all the construction costs of the 700MHz wireless network within the agreed range, and will first enjoy the above-mentioned wireless network. Asset ownership, both parties have the right to use the 700MHz wireless network. At present, China Mobile and China Radio and Television have cooperated to deploy 200,000 700MHz 5G base stations. According to the radio and television plan, China Radio and Television will further complete the construction of 280,000 base stations in central urban areas in 2022, achieving continuous coverage of areas above townships and extending to administrative villages.
Xiao Chen told reporters from Nanduwan Financial News that during use, he clearly felt that compared with the original mobile 5G package, the 5G signal of Radio and Television "will have certain fluctuations in some places."
In addition, many netizens complained that the current 5G of Radio and Television The package mainly gathers traffic and voice content. In comparison, the current 5G packages of the three major operators, in addition to the above content, can also include cloud disk, broadband, TV services and other content. At present, it seems that radio and television 5G packages do not come with differentiated service content.
However, radio and television 5G is still in the commercial trial stage, and it is worth paying attention to whether differentiated services will be launched.Song Qizhu, chairman of China Radio and Television, once stated that China Radio and Television will vigorously promote the construction of 5G NR broadcasting in the future, build a radio and television 5G application platform, and will also explore the development of 5G channels to create a differentiated radio and television 5G business layout. "China Radio and Television will actively build integrated innovations in multiple business scenarios such as wired and wireless + content, build a national cultural private network, serve cultural big data transmission, transactions, and distribution, and innovate new scenarios of digital cultural consumption by aggregating and promoting high-quality content of the cultural system. , to build a differentiated development model.”
Industry insiders said that since they cannot rashly provoke a price war, if China Radio and Television wants to create a world in the Chinese operator market in the future, it should actually create a differentiated experience.

The service launched by China Radio and Television has two major weaknesses, including the fact that it jointly established a network with China Mobile and used 700MHz, which is significantly lower than China Mobile's own network and China Telecom and China Unicom means that the data speed is much slower. Furui believes that China Radio and Television's launch of 5G network will have limited impact on telecommunications stocks. It is estimated that China Radio and Television will have 3 million users this year, rising to 39 million in 2025, with a market share of 2.4%.
