Can the iron tower company succeed in the pilot fi

Can the "experimental field" tower company succeed in the reform of the telecommunications industry?

China Communications Facilities Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the tower company) was officially unveiled. This enterprise has attracted much attention from the beginning. What does it mean for the future reform of China's telecommunications industry

since the late 1990s, with the goal of separating government and enterprises and promoting competition, China's telecommunications industry has undergone several reforms and reorganizations, forming today's competition among the three major operators. However, within the telecommunications industry, the problems of closed industry, rigid management, and the separation of government and enterprises have not been well solved, and people have been complaining about telecommunications tariffs

let the market play a decisive role in resource allocation. For the telecommunications industry, the foothold of the reform is to deeply promote the separation of government and enterprises, take practical steps in co construction and sharing, and introduce competitors to inject vitality into the market. The establishment of the national iron tower company is the embodiment of the implementation of this policy

zhangxiwu, deputy director of SASAC, said that the establishment of the iron tower company marked that the development of our telecommunications industry has entered a more professional and market-oriented stage. It is of great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance for optimizing the economic layout of state-owned capital and improving the service level of our telecommunications industry as a whole

from the perspective of the industry, the most direct positive significance of the establishment of the national iron tower company is that it can effectively avoid the repeated construction of communication infrastructure and the waste of national resources. At the same time, it also provides a model for replication and promotion for deepening the reform of the telecommunications industry and promoting the transformation of the industry in the future

Shu Huaying, a professor at Beijing University of Posts and telecommunications, believes that the scale of 2g/3g stock base stations in China has ranked first in the world. At present, the density of 4G base stations that operators are vigorously building is also significantly higher than that of 3G base stations, which has brought unprecedented pressure to the location of base stations of the three operators. In addition, the complexity of 2g/3/g/4g network system is far higher than that of other countries. Under this background, it is urgent to establish tower companies and improve the proportion of co construction and sharing

Liu Aili, chairman of the iron tower company, estimated that the iron tower company would build at least 200000 iron towers in the next year. Through joint construction and sharing, 80000 iron towers could be saved. This alone could reduce the construction cost of at least 32billion yuan. The resulting savings in land, steel and maintenance costs are even more substantial

Xi Guohua, chairman of China Mobile, said that the establishment of the tower company to explore joint construction and sharing in the form of joint-stock system and reduce repeated construction is an organic part of the deepening reform of China's telecommunications system

before the experiment, Chang Xiao, chairman of China Unicom, pointed out that according to the size of the ultimate load of the test piece, he hoped that the new company would establish a new mechanism, release new vitality, boldly explore breakthroughs in mixed ownership through internal and external integration, and actively explore market-oriented operation and management from the aspects of corporate governance structure, business decision-making and so on

Xu Baoli, director of the research department of the research center of the SASAC, believes that the establishment of the tower company has avoided the waste of national resources and vicious competition among enterprises. At the same time, the market-oriented enterprise mechanism and mixed economic development model it explores are very worthy of recognition, and it is also the trend and direction of the reform and development of state-owned enterprises in the future

at the same time, the industry also made suggestions on the future development direction of the tower company

it is understood that the SASAC and the management of the tower company believe that the tower company should be similar to the public facilities enterprises such as water and electricity in the future, and should not lose money or become a profiteering industry

Shu Huaying believes that if the iron tower company is positioned as a public facility enterprise, without the necessary market competition, it is bound to form an inefficient enterprise, which is the result of the reform. If it is purely for the purpose of profit, it will lead to the rising cost of operators, which will eventually be passed on to consumers, which is not conducive to the long-term strategy of information consumption; In addition, it will also cause insufficient tower construction in remote areas and affect the implementation of universal services

Shu Huaying suggested that in addition to establishing a national iron tower company to absorb private capital, the domestic iron tower market should also be opened in the future, allowing companies with various systems to form a competitive pattern under the guidance of policies

from the perspective of the industry, the most direct positive significance of the establishment of the national iron tower company is that it can effectively avoid the repeated construction of communication infrastructure and the waste of national resources. At the same time, it also provides a model for replication and promotion for deepening the reform of the telecommunications industry in the future and promoting the industry to become the leader in the B2B field

Shu Huaying, a professor at Beijing University of Posts and telecommunications, believes that the scale of 2g/3g stock base stations in China has ranked first in the world. At present, operators are vigorously building 4G base stations, and the density is also strengthened. The research and development breakthrough in product precision performance is significantly higher than that of 3G base stations, which has brought unprecedented pressure to the location of base stations of the three operators.
