It's freeBasic public servicesIt is the basic right of every citizen, and it is also an important duty to ensure that everyone enjoys basic public services.
From 2023, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other units, will carry out joint actions to control "nesting doll" fees, as well as the difficulty and annoyance of watching TV, increase free on-demand content, and vigorously promote the integration of TVs and set-top boxes.
National standard for free TV viewing
In 2020, the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of the Radio and Television Public Service System" issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television proposed to set up major scientific research projects, strengthen strategic research on national guiding standards, and focus on the expansion and quality improvement of live broadcast satellitesThe basic public service policy of cable television and high-definition television are included in the basic public servicesand other key issues to makeNational Guiding StandardsIt is in harmony with economic and social development and adapts to the development of the information technology revolution.
In March 2021, ** and other ministries and commissions jointly issued the "National Basic Public Service Standards (2021 Edition)", and radio and television ranked 75th. The specific description is:Provision of no less than 15 television programmes via terrestrial wireless means; In areas covered by public services via direct broadcast satellites, no less than 25 sets of television programs are provided through direct broadcast satellites, and the first finance and local finance shall jointly bear the responsibility for expenditure. The lead responsible unit is the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
The 2023 version removes the restriction that basic radio and television public services are only implemented through terrestrial and satellite transmission channels, and the Central Propaganda Department has been added to the lead responsible unit.
This is a major change in the standard of radio and television public service, which means that the concept of radio and television public service has changed from focusing on transmission coverage to focusing on user service, and from designated supply methods to diversified and integrated supply. Cable television, IPTV, and OTT can also provide basic radio and television public services, which is conducive to market-oriented competition in the supply of basic radio and television public services.
The next step is to get rid of the set-top box, and the TV can be realized to watch TV for free!
