With the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) making it clear that the retirement of 2G and 3G is an inevitable choice for the upgrading of mobile communication networks, the three major operators are facing new challenges and opportunities. Although 5G networks are not yet fully ubiquitous, the three major operators already have a reason to upgrade their users to 5G.
First of all, to be clear, it is true that 2G and 3G networks are no longer able to meet the needs of modern communications.
These networks have limited bandwidth, slow speeds, and low security to support high-bandwidth applications such as HD** streaming and large-scale gaming. With the continuous development of technology,4G and 5G networks are gradually becoming mainstream, and 2G and 3G networks have been gradually phased out. Therefore, phasing them out is an inevitable choice for the development of the industry.
However, the withdrawal of 2G and 3G is not a simple task. Operators need to put in place comprehensive user protection measures to ensure that the relevant rights and interests of users are not affected. In the process of network withdrawal, operators need to provide users with reasonable compensation measures to help them smoothly transition to more advanced networksAnd not by forcing an upgrade.
In addition, operators need to strengthen support for older devices to ensure that their users can continue to enjoy quality services.
In fact, the three major operators have already started the withdrawal of 2G and 3G, and with the clear statement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the speed of network withdrawal will also be accelerated. China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom have all begun to phase out 2G and 3G networks, devoting more resources and energy to the construction and development of 5G networks.
Therefore, for old users who withdraw from the network, operators are also encouraged to actively upgrade to 5G networks. To attract these users, operators offer various incentives such as discounts, free trials, etc. In addition, they have stepped up education for existing users to help them understand the advantages of 5G networks and how to better use new devices and services.
Judging by the operation of the operator,2 3G withdrawal has become an inevitable choice, but it will become a reason for them to actively persuade users to upgrade to 5G.
However, 2 Do users who have withdrawn from the network have to upgrade to 5G?
First of all, the three major operators have invested a lot in 5G network construction, not only increasing investment in 5G equipment, but also actively promoting the construction of the 5G ecosystem with other partners. In terms of 5G technology promotion, the three major operators are the main force, and of course they definitely hope that more users will use 5G networks.
Therefore, in the eyes of the three major operators, upgrading to 5G is impatient, and they will not let go of any opportunity conducive to 5G upgrade.
However, in the process of promoting the popularization of 5G networks, some problems existing in the three major operators still need to be paid attention to.
First of all, there is a 4G between 3G and 5G, and4G networks still occupy a certain market share, and users have a reason to use 4G. Users have the right not to choose the 5G network, after all, the 5G network mobile base station is not 100% popular, and the network is not as good as 4G in some places.
Therefore, operators also need to ensure that the rights and interests of users are not affected during the process of switching between 4G and 5G networks. They can meet the needs of users by optimizing the network switching mechanism and providing more stable 4G services.
Second, operators need to solve the problem of high costs of 5G network construction. At present, the construction cost of 5G networks is still high, which makes some users take a wait-and-see attitude towards upgrading to 5G networks. Therefore, operators need to seek more cost-effective 5G network construction solutions to lower the upgrade threshold for users.
Therefore, the three major operators cannot force users to upgrade to 5G, 2 3G has been clearly withdrawn, does not mean that users must upgrade 5G, there are more affordable 4G** options.
Finally, the 5G ecosystem is not yet perfect, and operators need to actively cooperate with other industries to jointly promote the development of the 5G ecosystem.
The application of 5G technology is not only limited to the communication industry, but can also penetrate into various fields, such as intelligent manufacturing, Internet of Things, smart cities, etc. Through cooperation with related industries, the application and popularization of 5G technology can be accelerated, bringing more convenience and benefits to users.
In short, the retirement of 2G and 3G provides a new opportunity for the three major operators to find a reason for users to upgrade to 5G. Through a reasonable network retirement plan and high-quality services, we can ensure that the rights and interests of users are not affected, and at the same time attract more users to upgrade to the 5G network, laying a solid foundation for future development.
Of course, as consumers, we have the right to choose whether 4G or 5G services are still in progress, after all, the popularization of 5G networks is still in progress, and there are still areas that need to be improved and expanded.
