Some people think that the Internet is a brand-new production tool, and it is the fastest tool to get rid of poverty in human history. Others say that the Internet is an insurmountable gap, which will bring "digital division" between the rich and the poor and between urban and rural areas. In this regard, we believe that it is the former. The emergence of the Internet has brought opportunities for poor countries, regions and poor people to stand up again.

Productivity is the fundamental factor, technology is always physical, but people are active, and everything depends on the perfect combination of people and technology. If any country, company or individual remains complacent, the result will be counterproductive.

The essence of Internet is information flow and information openness. With the popularity of the Internet, information will benefit everyone. The advent of the digital age may bring opportunities to underdeveloped countries, regions and individuals. Perhaps we should have a clear understanding now, that is, the value of network economy is not how much tangible wealth and profit it can bring to society and enterprises immediately, but that it can create a new social form, provide a platform for all members of society to improve their social ability and economic creativity, and make almost all industries build on a new starting point, so that enterprises can realize rapid accumulation of wealth and leap-forward development.

South Korea is located on the Korean peninsula in Asia, with an area of 99,237 square kilometers and a population of about 48 million. Its economic level is in the forefront of Asian countries and its economic growth rate is in the forefront of the world.

As one of the old "Four Little Dragons in Asia", South Korea started its economic take-off in 1970s, creating an economic miracle comparable to that of Japan. In terms of output value, the pillar industry in Korea was chemical fiber industry in 1980s, while electrical appliances and electronics occupied the first place after 1990s. In the late 1990s, the main industries in Korea have entered a mature stage, facing the severe challenges of slowing growth and weakening international competitiveness. In addition, the Asian financial crisis has dealt a heavy blow to the traditional Korean economy, prompting the Korean government to realize that the 2 1 century is an era in which knowledge and information determine international competitiveness, and it is necessary to vigorously develop the digital information industry. After several years of development, Korea's digital information industry has made impressive achievements. Without much publicity, South Korea has developed into one of the fastest-growing countries in Asia, keeping pace with Singapore and Hong Kong. According to the information of the Ministry of Information and Communication of Korea, with the strong support of the far-sighted Korean government, South Korea has completed the installation of optical cables nationwide to achieve high-speed Internet and telecommunications services.

The high-speed optical fiber backbone network in all parts of Korea will be completed in 2002, and the Internet information transmission speed in Korea will be increased by 100 times. The Korean government has invested 40 trillion won (1,200 Han Yuanhe 1 USD) since 2000, and by 2005, an ultra-high-speed information and communication network will be built nationwide. Most Internet users in Korea will use the newly-built ultra-high-speed communication network. Home users will enjoy 10Mbps and bandwidth, and personal mobile users will enjoy 2Mbps bandwidth *, so people will be able to get high-quality multimedia message service at low prices at any time and anywhere.

According to the results of the 2000 annual information and communication department survey published by the Korea Statistics Office on April 24th, 20001,last year, Korean nationals used computers for an average of 17.2 hours per week, with an average of 2.5 hours per day. Compared with 1997 (5.9 hours), it is nearly three times higher. The time spent using commercial PC for communication or Internet has also increased by 2.5 times compared with the same period of last year, which is a remarkable figure.

In 2000, the average household computer ownership rate reached 46.5%, equivalent to one computer for every two households, and 1997 was 29%. As for the main uses of computers, 40.4% of people use PC for communication or surfing the Internet, which is five times that of 1997. Three out of every 10 households (3 1.4%) have installed commercial PC communication or Internet dedicated lines; More than half (5 1.6%) of Korean residents over 6 years old can operate computers.

Nearly 8 out of every 10 households (77.2%) have mobile phones, and mobile phones have completely become a necessity. Only 17.8% of the households in agricultural and fishing villages have private internet lines, which is lower than that in urban areas (35.3%), and the proportion of the population with computer operation ability is also 34.6%, which is 55.9% in urban areas. Good software, hardware and cultural environment make the Korean information industry deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is conducive to the further development of the Korean information industry.

In order to develop the digital information industry, the Korean government has put forward a series of preferential policies. For example, on 200 1 year 1 month 3 1 day, the Ministry of Information and Communication of the Republic of Korea issued the "Support Plan for Invigorating. com Enterprises", which stipulated that outstanding Internet enterprises that would develop overseas in the future would be given financial and administrative support by the government. In addition, in order to solve the shortage of funds for. com enterprises that are caught in operational difficulties, it was decided to set up a special fund for. com enterprises with capital15 billion won in February. At the same time, the government will invest 1 60 billion won this year, and plans to invest1trillion won to develop South Korea's software industry by 2005. According to the Policy of Building a Powerful Software Country published by the Ministry of Information and Communication of South Korea on 26th, after the plan is realized in 2005, the production scale of domestic software industry in South Korea will reach 37. 12 trillion won, and the export volume will also reach 3.3 billion US dollars, ranking among the top seven in the world. In addITion, it is also decided to increase the IT support centers of overseas marketing frontier bases from the current two (Silicon Valley in the United States and Beijing in China) to six (Boston in the United States, Tokyo in Japan, Shanghai in China, and Scotland in the United Kingdom) this year, and there will be six new IT support centers to be established next year, with a total planned operation of * * * 12 IT support centers.

At the same time, South Korea has also put forward a grand "e-government" plan, which is planned to be realized in 2002. By then, all government affairs related to nationals and enterprises, such as handling letters and visits, fund allocation, taxes, social insurance and education administration, will be realized on the Internet. [ 1]

Looking at the development of Internet in South Korea and comparing it with that in China, we feel that there are still some problems in the development of Internet in China, so we might as well discuss them here.

I. Comparison of relevant basic data

Let's first analyze the current situation of Internet development in China and South Korea based on some data. The following data are from China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) and Korea Internet Information Center (KNIC).

Regarding the data survey of information centers in various countries, the content is slightly different. For example, the relevant reports in South Korea focus more on macro surveys, such as the number of service providers, Internet interconnection points, and the number of hosts in the domain. China's report pays more attention to microcosmic, especially the investigation and analysis of Internet users' situation, such as the distribution of users, the occupation ratio of users, the income ratio and so on. However, some of them are the data surveyed by Datong, and we mainly compare the data in the following three aspects.

Number of Internet users:

China Korea

1998.7-1175,000 3 10.3 million.

1999.7-4 million10.86 million

July 2000-16.9 million16.4 million

2001.122.5 million 20.93 million

Since the 1990s, South Korea has devoted itself to the development of the Internet. According to the available historical statistics of the Korea Internet Center, South Korea had138,000 in 1994 and reached1634,000 in 1997. The statistical data of 1998 to August 2000 are listed in the above table. Judging from the current situation, the number of Internet users in China and South Korea is basically the same, but the total population of South Korea is only 45 million, so for South Korea, the number of Internet users has accounted for 43% of the total population. China has a population of1200 million, and the number of Internet users only accounts for1.8% of the national population. At the end of February 2000/kloc-0, there were19.04 million Internet users in South Korea, which increased to 20.9 million by the end of March this year, an increase of nearly 3.9 percentage points. There are 20.93 million netizens, which means that among all people over 7 years old in Korea, the proportion of netizens accounts for 48.6%.

Number of domain name registrations:

.cn domain.kr domain

1998.79,4 1526, 166

1999.729,045207,023

2000.7---2000.899,734493.69 1

According to the statistical report of Korean Internet, the number of registered domain names in Korea under Kr was 1993, which was 6 1 piece, and it grew to 8,045 in 1997. However, the growth of domain names registered under Cn in China was slow until 2000, which was out of proportion to the number of Internet users in China and the development of Internet in China.

According to relevant reports, although the number of domain names registered in China under Cn has not increased much, according to the authoritative international domain top agent, New Network, which is authorized by ICANN, recently released the China international domain Index Report for the second quarter of 2000. Statistics show that by June 30th, 2000, the total number of international domain registered in Chinese mainland was as high as 477,900, of which ".com" was 4 10900, accounting for 86%, ".net" was 57,300, accounting for 12%, and ".org" was 97,000. Similar to domestic domain names, international domain's registration is mainly concentrated in Beijing, Guangdong and Shanghai. Guangdong ranks first with the registration ratio of 19.82%, followed by Beijing 14.25% and Shanghai1.19. There are only 99,734 domain names registered under Cn in China, but as many as 477,900 in international domain. The number of domain names registered in international domain has fully reached nearly five times that registered in China. Perhaps it can be said that the number of domain names registered in China as a whole is comparable to that in South Korea, but the number of domain names registered under Cn is small.

Number of sites and IP addresses:

Number of WWW sites in China and number of Korean IP addresses * 256

1998.73,700 17,053

1999.79,90623,9 17

2000.727,28945.242

Second, the problems in the development of Internet in China

From the comparison of the above data, we have seen at least three obvious problems, that is, the proportion of Internet users to the total population of the country is too small, the domain name registration under CN is too small, and the number of websites is too small, which reflects that most people are just browsing, not using the Internet. But these are only superficial problems. In fact, there are more problems hidden behind them. Let's start with the superficial problems and then make a deeper analysis from the outside to the inside.

1, Internet users and groups

As the previous data shows, the number of Internet users in China accounts for 1.4% of the national population, so it is still a blank for more rural people to access the Internet.

With the development of Internet technology, the developed areas in China will be more developed and the backward areas will be more backward. In a word, it will further strengthen, not weaken, the existing dual pattern of sharp contrast between urban and rural areas in China. For a long time, the digital China in the city and the traditional China in the countryside will coexist, and the rich and the poor will continue.

The realization of internet technology needs a highly developed economic foundation, as well as advanced high-tech and high-tech talents as support. But these are extremely scarce in most rural areas of China. At present, what rural areas need is not the most advanced technology like the Internet, but suitable technologies such as soil and water ecological conservation, variety improvement, farming and cultivation technology reform, small mechanized farm tools, diversified management, crop pest control, crop drought resistance and water-saving irrigation, and farmland water conservancy planning.

According to the statistics of China Internet Information Center, there were 22.5 million netizens in China by the end of 2000. Therefore, surfing the Internet is a "wealth" game for a few percent of people in China. It is absolutely unaffordable for farmers who have to pay 120 yuan for their annual income in 300 yuan.

Then let's analyze the people who are already online. According to the statistics of China Internet Network Information Center in July 2000, the Internet users in China have the following characteristics:

/kloc-under 0/8 years old 18-2425-3031-3536-4041-4551-6060 or above.

1.65%46.77%29. 18% 10.03%5.59%5.07% 1.30%0.4 1%

8.26%28. 19%37.77% 18.45%4.48%2.85%

Analyzing the above three groups of data, it is found that176% of people are aged from 8 to 30 years old, and 74.22% of them earn less than 2,000 yuan per capita. From the perspective of the industry distribution of Internet users, this is a distinctive group. They are young, well-educated, with relatively high income, mainly company employees and professional and technical personnel. Because of their mastery of information and network technology, their positive recognition, in-depth understanding and good understanding of the Internet. Or most of them are young people who are engaged in white-collar jobs shortly after graduating from college.

Although there is no such detailed report in the Korea Internet Information Center, according to the information I learned in Seoul, the Internet access rate of government agencies, scientific research and educational institutions in Korea is 100%.

In the first half of 20001year, Internet Metrix Company, a Korean investigation media, commissioned by the Ministry of Information and Communication, conducted a quarterly survey on the popularity of the Internet among the Korean people. They conducted a sample interview survey on 3582 families by telephone and got the results. The results show that the average weekly online time of each Internet user has decreased from 1 1.73 hours last year to 10.67 hours now. Among the surveyed users, 58. 1% users surf the Internet to retrieve information, 19.9% users surf the Internet to play games and entertain, and 14.8% users send emails. 3. 1% for learning purposes, 1.5% for chatting, 1.3% for browsing stock information and online trading, and 1. 1% for online shopping and booking services. The survey also found that the gender difference of Korean netizens is narrowing. Among the 20.9 million netizens, there are 8.97 million male netizens11960,000 female netizens, accounting for 57. 1% and 42.9% respectively. Compared with 66.9% and 33. 1% three months ago. [2]

2. Domain name registration.

As mentioned above, there are only 99,734 registered domain names in China, but as many as 477,900 in international domain, and the number of registered domain names in international domain is nearly five times that in China. People can't help asking: What happened to the domain name in China? This phenomenon is rare in other countries. The increase in the number of foreign domain names not only increases the international information flow and squeezes out valuable international channel resources, but also makes a large amount of foreign exchange flow out of the country and into the pockets of foreign companies.

From the perspective of domain name registration process, the domestic domain name registration procedures are complicated and the cycle is long. Domestic domain name applications must be made by legal persons, and enterprises need to submit a series of written applications, forms and documents, and wait for as many as dozens of days, at least ten days, before they can be approved. However, agents in international domain, such as ChinaDNS, a new website, provide a very simple and fast registration process. No matter individual users or enterprise users, they only need to fill in a simple form online, and they can successfully own their own domain names within a few minutes after submission. For enterprises eager to enter the era of network economy, it is undoubtedly a time-saving and labor-saving shortcut to choose to register in international domain.

From the market environment, CNNIC has been the exclusive operator and manager of domestic domain names in China for several years, and there is no market competition. However, in the registered market in international domain, China, there are many top agents and second-level agents in China, and the competition is fierce. For their own development, in order to have a greater competitive advantage, various agents are competing to take active measures and flexible means, constantly adjusting their business strategies according to the actual needs of enterprise users and individual users, or promoting various promotional activities throughout the country, or playing service cards, or winning by surprise at prices, in order to win more users and market share.

From the market price point of view, in the past two years, the domestic domain name registration price has been basically stable in 300 yuan every year, without much change. In international domain, however, due to the continuous reduction of the total registration cost and the intensification of market competition, the registration price has dropped again and again, reaching a surprising level. From the beginning of thousands of dollars, until the recent tens of dollars a year represented by the new network. At the same time, all kinds of supporting services are constantly being refurbished, which has benefited users a lot. In the eyes of many small and medium-sized enterprises and individuals who are not financially strong but dominate the market, it is obviously extremely affordable and practical to register a international domain.

So as a national Internet information center, how does China Internet Information Center (CNNIC), which is responsible for managing and running the national top-level domain name CN, view this issue? Facing the aggressive momentum of foreign domain names, how does CNNIC respond? Will CNNIC enhance its competitive advantage with foreign domain names by lowering the price? In this regard, CNNIC's answer is: CNNIC will meet the challenge of foreign domain names with high-quality services, rather than a simple price war. On the one hand, CNNIC has no right to directly revise the charging standard of CN domain names, and on the other hand, price is not the main factor affecting the choice of registered domain names. In May, 2000, when CNNIC solicited opinions on the revision of the measures for the administration of domain name registration for the whole society, only two of all the feedback 100 mentioned the price issue. Obviously, how much influence can the difference of one or two hundred yuan a year have on the decision-making of a company or enterprise? Therefore, CNNIC believes that the main reason for this situation is that the current registration management system in China is too strict. For example, although Japan has 28.3 million netizens, the number of domain names in Japan is only1100,000 due to its stricter registration policy than China. In Britain, which has19.5 million netizens, due to its loose registration policy, the number of domain names registered in Britain has reached 2 10/0.00 million in August.

It is urgent to revise the management measures. To this end, the Ministry of Information Industry entrusted CNNIC to carry out the revision and investigation of the current domain name registration management measures in the first half of this year. The main points of the revision suggestions put forward by CNNIC Working Committee and CNNIC to the Ministry of Information Industry include: relaxing the restrictions on domain name naming and opening up domain name resources; Simplify registration procedures and improve the efficiency of domain name registration; Open personal domain names in an appropriate form and develop domain name resources; Establish a domain name dispute resolution mechanism to prevent malicious registration; Reduce fees and encourage individuals and organizations to surf the Internet. At present, the Ministry of Information Industry is actively revising the domain name management measures, and the relevant regulations are expected to be promulgated at the end of this year and early next year.

To reduce the domain name fee, CNNIC suggested that in order to cooperate with the opening of personal domain names, domain name fees can be divided into two categories, and individuals and organizations should be treated differently, giving individuals more favorable prices to encourage individuals to surf the Internet and use the Internet. Of course, after all, the number of CN domain names has just passed100000, and the price reduction can't be compared with that of foreign domain names with 20 million. However, in order to truly benefit the vast number of Internet users, CNNIC also suggested that foreign domain name registration systems should be used for reference, and domain name registration agencies should be divided into domain name system administrators and domain name registration service providers. Domain name system administrators charge domain name fees to domain name registrars for maintaining domain name databases and conducting related research, and the charging standards are set by the state. Domain name registrars charge domain name fees to end users, and the fees are determined by each service provider according to its market competition strategy, so as to benefit end users.

First-class service is inseparable 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 3 million yuan to build a call center and opened 800 telephones, which were paid by CNNIC for the service consultation calls made by users. The system will open telephone, fax, e-mail, text negotiation, VOIP call, web page sharing and other service functions step by step, in order to provide first-class customer service to the vast number of internet users. At present, CNNIC accesses more than 800 consultation telephones 1000 every day. In the second half of this year, CNNIC plans to invest more than 8 million yuan to improve the equipment and software system of CN domain name registration service in order to reach the international level in hardware construction. Under the condition of improving all aspects, the situation of registering domain names under CN may be improved.

3, watching the net and using the net

The network economy has risen rapidly, but compared with developed countries, there is still a big gap in China. The proportion of Internet users in the total population of China is low, the use efficiency of the network is not high, and various functions of the network have not yet been developed. Internet surfers are mostly "watching the net" rather than "using the net", which is an obvious gap.

At present, 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. Watching the internet is also a function of the network, and surfers can get some useful information. However, at present, many web pages in China upload news and information of various newspapers and magazines to each other, but there are not many original information of their own, and the time limit is not fast.

The biggest role of the network lies in "using the network". The aging of the network can enable us to deal with all kinds of work, study and life affairs in modern society efficiently. In developed countries, e-commerce, online shopping, online financial management, distance education, telemedicine, etc., have provided great convenience to people. But in our country, many functions of "using the Internet" have not been developed. Many new needs of people can be met by the function of the network. For example, at present, due to the expansion of people's work, business and life activities, there are more and more phenomena of separation between people and households. After going out, some people need to mobilize the funds in their accounts for their own use, and the online financial management function can help them use the network to dispatch the funds in their accounts. But at present, this function of network has not been developed in China.

The Ministry of Industry and Resources of Korea announced that it recently commissioned the Korea Electronic Commerce Promotion Agency to conduct a statistical survey on 1000 enterprises, focusing on stock exchanges and Nasdaq listed companies. The survey shows that the e-commerce market in Korea is expected to reach 29.34 trillion won in 20001year, and the market scale in 2000 is 17.42 trillion won.

The Korea Ministry of Industry and Resources predicts that the e-commerce market will exceed 187 trillion won in 2005. From the perspective of transaction objects, the scale of B2B e-commerce market will reach 8. 18 trillion won, accounting for 46.9% of the total; The business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce market will reach 3.02 trillion won, accounting for all17.3%; The business-to-government (B2G) e-commerce market will reach 200 billion won, accounting for all 1.2%. [3]

South Korea has also used high-tech management methods such as the Internet to improve the efficiency of the construction industry and put an end to corruption.

Two major construction quality accidents in South Korea in the mid-1990s are still haunting the Korean construction industry. In 2000, the income of Korean construction industry only accounted for 8.2% of the gross national product, which was much lower than 1 1.6% before the Asian financial crisis in 1996. The construction industry needs new stimulus to activate, and at the same time, it also needs to take new measures to improve work efficiency, put an end to engineering corruption and avoid the recurrence of tragedies. Korean companies thought of using the Internet to solve this problem.

A system for project management through network has been adopted in Korean construction industry. This is a system called Prima (project resources and information management provided by Internet application services) developed by Samsung Company of South Korea. Prima system can manage the flow of building materials from suppliers to construction sites; Manage human resources and so on. The project manager only needs to input the demand, and the system can automatically calculate the actual quantity of materials needed and when they need to be supplied. This system can also let the construction managers know how many workers are needed in a certain period of time, and help the managers to rationally allocate labor.

This system also makes it impossible for those who want to make a big profit in the project, because the transaction between suppliers and construction management personnel is completely transparent, and all the people involved in the project can see the order contract of engineering materials and the labor contract of construction personnel.

Jung Kyung Hee, Deputy Minister of Construction and Transportation of Korea, said, "In the long run, strengthening the power of the Internet is an important way to enhance the competitiveness of the Korean construction industry." [4]

Two years ago, this system was first used in the construction of a large-scale comprehensive building-"Castle Palace". According to Samsung's data, in the construction of this project, the system saved 4 billion won (3 million US dollars) for the project, accounting for 0.8% of the total project investment. At the same time, the construction period was advanced by 5 months.

When the first resident moves into the castle palace in 2003, he will be completely in an online world. 3G wireless network system enables them to control air conditioners through their own mobile phones; Remote medical monitors in the lobby of the building allow them to detect blood pressure and other important physical indicators. The test results will be transmitted to the hospital through the broadband network system of the building.

How is this system applied in this project? In the database of Prima system, all materials, from cement to steel to various pipelines, have their own codes. Engineering managers directly send the order details to suppliers through Prima system. Both suppliers and transportation companies know when to deliver the goods, and engineering managers also know when to need these materials in place. Hwang, a system developer, said, "With this system, we no longer have to worry about inventory problems and overtime work."

Prima system is also used to monitor the situation of more than 2,000 construction workers working in the castle palace. Because there are often multiple construction teams stationed in a project, it is inconvenient for construction personnel to carry out overall management. Prima system provides each worker with an ID card with a bar code, and their corresponding information is stored in the database. For example, if a worker is injured at the construction site, the project manager can quickly identify his identity and his current job, and quickly notify the medical staff to 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 and various situations on his site, 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 to small and medium-sized construction projects and will be favored by these small and medium-sized construction contractors. Because many contractors are now looking for ways to reduce costs, they also know that high technology can bring them great productivity. Samsung's Prima system has been used in more than 40 projects in South Korea and overseas, including the construction of high-speed railway connecting North and South Taiwan Province. This will bring confidence to other construction contractors.

Network economy is considered as the booster of 2 1 century economy in developed countries. Developing network functions will promote economic development and enable internet users to get more benefits from "using the internet".

On the whole, e-commerce in China is still in its infancy, and the main factors that restrict the development of e-commerce in China are:

The comprehensive information ability and informatization level are low. According to the statistics of the World Bank, the world average is 63./kloc-0 per 10,000 people, 374.8 in high-income countries, 2. 14 in low-and middle-income countries, and only 0. 16 in China. Moreover, the proportion of computer software and hardware personnel in the information industry in China is far lower than that in developed countries.

The degree of enterprise informatization is low. There are many problems in enterprises, such as low level of information management, imperfect information institutions, insufficient investment in informatization, high construction cost, and insufficient use of computer networks in business management. According to statistics, at present, the accumulated assets of information technology and equipment of national key enterprises in China only account for 0.3% of total assets, which is far from the level of 8%-10% of large enterprises in developed countries.

The level of research and development, production and application of information technology is low. For example, in the field of basic research and development, the basic or core technologies with intellectual property rights are mostly owned by world-class R&D institutions or foreign manufacturers. Similar situations also exist in the fields of product or application development of technology integration, system construction and application of product integration, and value-added services of information integration.

In China, despite the rapid development of the Internet industry, at the same time, due to the low degree of informationization in China, there are "four deficiencies" in the development of the Internet.

A lack of speed. Anyone who has been online will worry about the slow speed of the Internet. When visiting a website, it often takes a long time to display the content. At present, what China's Internet lacks most is the bandwidth of the network.

2. Lack of Chinese websites and Chinese information. Most people in China only know Chinese. However, the current lack of Chinese information on the Internet has greatly hindered the popularization of the Internet in China. In recent years, China has done a lot of work in enriching Chinese information, especially the "government online project" launched in an all-round way last year, which put more than 3,000 databases of all levels and departments that hold 80% of socially valuable information resources on the Internet. However, compared with the diverse Chinese information needs of netizens, Chinese websites and Chinese information in China are still not rich, which will become one of the "bottlenecks" restricting the development of China's Internet for a period of time.

Third, the lack of low fees. If a netizen spends 1 hour surfing the Internet every day, his internet and telecommunication fees will be about 2 10 yuan at the current price. If the average monthly income is 1000 yuan, this fee will also take up more than one-fifth of the netizen's monthly income. Last year, China's telecom sector continuously reduced the network fee, which has been reduced from more than one yuan per hour 10 to 4 yuan per hour, and at the same time, the communication fee has been reduced from 0. 18 yuan per minute to 0.09 yuan per three minutes, but in terms of the same income level, such network fee price is still too high.

The popularization of relevant knowledge is lacking. First of all, the knowledge of Internet science and technology is not popular, and many people in our country still don't know what the Internet is, let alone what e-commerce is all about.

Third, the way to solve it

As far as China is concerned, the popularity of the Internet will certainly not lag far behind that of developed countries. We still have great shortcomings in many aspects, and we should have a sense of urgency.

1, the system needs to break the constraints and create competition.

Internet service industry has always occupied an extremely important position in the Internet industry, during which the reasonable relationship between backbone network operators and information service providers should be their own division of labor, mutual cooperation and limited competition. However, due to the institutional reasons, the development of operators at these two levels in China has gone through a bumpy road. In terms of backbone network operation, the situation that China Telecom originally dominated the world is changing with the development of advanced network technology and the adjustment of industrial structure.

In terms of network technology, the backbone network transmission technology and access technology have undergone significant changes, among which the backbone network transmission technology has always been the focus of industry attention, because the backbone network transmission performance of any country or region is a decisive factor affecting its information superhighway. In the past, the long-distance transmission of the Internet mainly depended on the long-distance telephone links of telecom companies. Whether it is optical cable or satellite communication, whether it is IP Over SDH or IP Over ATM, it is a "technical improvement" on the traditional telephone service network to meet the requirements of high-speed data communication. On the one hand, these "improvements" make more effective use of the resources of the current telecommunications network and contribute to the rapid popularization of the Internet in a specific period, on the other hand, they are equivalent to protecting the backward telecommunications network.
