He also revealed that the cost of fixed networks and mobile phones in 皇冠体育app is expected to drop by 9 percent annually, and that 4G (fourth generation wireless technology), which has just been recognized internationally, will further lower costs once it goes into widespread use.
In response to complaints about low broadband speed in 皇冠体育app, Li said the ministry has carried out a specific plan to improve the situation. The next generation Internet technology to be launched in 皇冠体育app will increase broadband speed in urban areas to 20 MHz and to four to five MHz in rural areas, he said.
