Broadband coverage reaches 98 pct of rural Chinese villages

The penetration rates of fiber optic and 4G networks have both exceeded 98 percent in China's administrative villages, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

China's telecom universal services have promoted internet applications including tele-education, telemedicine and e-commerce in rural China, said MIIT chief engineer Zhang Feng at a seminar on telecom universal service and ICT for poverty alleviation.

The services had enabled more people in remote areas to enjoy equal access to basic public services, Zhang said.

The MIIT has launched five batches of pilot projects since the end of 2015, covering 130,000 administrative villages in 27 provinces with fiber network and extending 4G connections by building 36,000 4G base stations, explained Wen Ku, an official with the MIIT.

Statistics showed that in the pilot rural area, the network speed, with the average download rate exceeding 70M per second, is basically as fast as that in Chinese urban cities.

China will expand universal telecom service support and improve school network access in rural and remote areas, said Wen.

中国贫困村通宽带比例达98% 农村城市“同网同速”

  中新社敦煌8月1日电 (记者 刘育英)中国电信普遍服务已提前完成“十三五”规划目标。截至目前,中国行政村通光纤和行政村4G网络通达比例均超过98%。在网速方面,基本实现农村城市“同网同速”。

  “电信普遍服务与网络扶贫研讨会”1日在敦煌举行。中国工业和信息化部总工程师张峰介绍,中国的电信普遍服务有效促进了中国远程教育、远程医疗、农村电商等互联网应用的发展,让更多偏远地区民众享受到了城乡均等的基本公共服务。

  工信部信息通信发展司司长闻库说,2015年底以来,工信部已成功组织了五批电信普遍服务试点。前三批试点支持行政村通光纤,27个省份13万个行政村纳入试点;第四、五批试点开始支持行政村通4G,共部署3.6万个4G基站建设。

  同时,监测数据显示,试点地区平均下载速率超过70M,基本实现了农村城市“同网同速”。

  据介绍,中国电信普遍服务试点支持超过4.3万个建档立卡贫困村通宽带,目前中国贫困村通宽带比例已超过98%,提前完成“十三五”脱贫攻坚规划中90%的目标。

  闻库说,中国的电信普遍服务试点采用“中央资金引导、地方协调支持、企业为主推进”的总体思路,形成中央、地方、企业合力支持农村宽带建设发展的格局。

  以甘肃省为例,甘肃省副省长李沛兴介绍,电信普遍服务试点以来,甘肃省累计争取中央补助资金19.19亿元(人民币,下同),带动社会投资近54亿元,全省行政村通宽带率由试点前的51.2%上升到2018年底的99%以上,贫困地区通信基础设施大幅改善。

  在电信普遍服务中,企业投资约占七成。2016年以来,中国电信甘肃公司累计投入19亿元用于网络扶贫,建设3500个4G基站、160万个光纤宽带端口。甘肃省“三区三州”深度贫困区域行政村4G覆盖达到96%以上,光宽覆盖达到99%以上。

  闻库表示,下一步,将扩大电信普遍服务支持范围,推进有需求的农村20户以上人口聚居区4G网络覆盖;联合有关部门全面改善农村及偏远地区学校网络接入条件;开展“互联网+健康扶贫”试点。(完)
