Office of the Central Leading Group for Cyberspace Affairs recently intensively holds conferences, learns the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, impels the construction of cyberpower. The academicians, scholars, representatives of China's State Organs, and a group of enterprises' senior executives coming from Alibaba Group, JD.com, Didi, SANY Group, China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom attend the conference.

The Vice-general Manager of China Mobile Li Zhengmao indicates that China indeed faces great opportunity and challenge on the aspect of the new generation of information communication infrastructure. If China can not only grasp the opportunity but also well deal with the challenge, it possibly could be a real powerful country on the aspect of network information technology.

The Vice-general Manager of China Mobile Li Zhengmao: The Developing Problem of 5G Should Be Up to the Higher Level

The information communication infrastructure covers a wide range, from the perspective of Mobile, 5G network is especially paid attention and intended to make special efforts.

Currently, 4G network construction and operation has been carried out for nearly two years. China Mobile carries out 4G network operation, currently the largest worldwide scale of 4G network has been constructed, with more than 1 million base stations, covering about 85% of the population at domestic, covering more than 70% of administrative villages. The total number of the base stations is equivalent to the sum of the total number of base stations of the four major telecom operators in America, more than the sum of the base stations of all operators in Europe. The user scale is also rapidly expanding, within only two years it is expected that the users of 4G can break through 300 million by the end of 2015. Now more than 10 million nearly 20 million users increase every month on average.

The competition on 5G is very fierce in the world. Japan had set a national plan two years ago, and clearly announced that it would provide 5G service at Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020; Korea is not willing to fall behind, even suggesting to initiatively provide some leading services of 5G in 2017; Europe founds 5G organization, the goal is very clear: to grasp 20% of the core patent of 5G, and obtain 35% of the world's market.

China also starts earlier. In 2013, China 5G propulsion group was co-founded by the Ministry of Industry and Information, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Development and Reform Commission.

International Telecommunication Union officially launches the plan of 5G in 2015, the chosen name is exactly the same as that of China--MT2020. The eight key technical standards of 5G technical standards of 2020 set by the Union basically use the standards proposed by China. From the current situation of various aspects, the position of China in the development of 5G technology is totally not the same with that in the era of 2G and 3G, the influence is very huge.

In view of the 5G technology which is so important in the new generation of information and communication infrastructure, many applications of Internet are closely related with it, such as the application of facing the Internet of things in the future, the application of the Internet of cars, the applications of various Internet + superimposed on the above, even the application of industry Internet. It is suggested that the development problem of 5G should be up to a higher level, even to the strategic level of a country.

Vice President of China Unicom Han Zhigang: Big Data Is Faced with Three Challenges

First of all, with the development of the big data, the big data has been the important strategic resource in the level of enterprise and society. Its applications are reflected in the following three aspects:

Firstly, the application of enterprise management. With the improvement of the level of information technology in various industries, more enterprises will use the means of big data to promote the internal management of enterprises, to achieve business operation intelligent monitoring and refined operation, and to bring more extensive social value.

Secondly, the application of government affairs and public service field. China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom are the concentration camp of natural big data, such as massive network data, business operation data, they have obvious advantages which other industries are incomparable, no matter from the span of time or the geographical range. The big data of operators can provide rich information such as a portrait of the user, personal credit, location and track, as well as the social circle. The big data of Unicom is also committed to improving the aspects of livelihood service and urban governance, actively promoting the integration and integrated application of big data in the key fields such as government affairs, medical treatment, sanitation, health, education, elderly care, transportation, further improving the service efficiency of government affairs and the public service efficiency.

Thirdly, the application of marketization. China Unicom had started to explore the external cooperation of big data a few years ago, currently makes certain achievements in aspects of finance, personal credit, advertising, the Internet of cars. In the future, it will continue to promote the integration of big data and innovation of application between industries, promote the data secure transaction and the opening of platforms' interfaces of different enterprises, explore feasible realized models of enterprise big data, drive the continuous deepening of big data application of the whole society.

Besides, while the big data endows the capacity to apperceive the future, many problems also need to be solved, mainly the challenges in three aspects.

Firstly, the existence of information barrier influences the openness of data. Subject to the level of informatization, the data resources of various industries also exist low degree of standardization, insufficient accuracy and integrity. Meanwhile, the openness of data is not high, so the standardization and openness of data are the important factors which influence the development of big data.

Secondly, the related technical capacity and innovation of big data are insufficient. The technology of big data involves the collection of massive data which includes many aspects such as analysis, cleaning, storage, management, digging, application. The reserve of expert talent is clearly insufficient, meanwhile the original technology lacks. The contribution to the Open Source Community is limited, and then the influence to the frontier technical routes is also weak.

Thirdly, also the key point that is how to maintain the privacy security. The Internet records and preserves identity information and behavior characteristics of each person, once leaked, it will threaten the users' privacy and personal security. At the same time, it will also bring serious negative impact to the enterprise. So, it should base on the actual situation of China to construct a framework for information security risks of big data, keep the application and development of big data safe from the storm. It should make overall plan of the application and development of big data, meanwhile accelerating the research and development of key technology and the cultivation of industry, improving data opening, finally guiding the big data to go on the open, cooperative, safe and healthy development road by the layout of nodes such as data protection, market supervision, laws and regulations.

Vice-general Manager of China Telecom Ke Ruiwen: The Information Gap Between the City and the Rural Area cannot Appear in the New Round of Development

If from the perspective of the network, firstly there are two in the perspective of physics, one is the optical fiber from the perspective of physics, the other is the high-speed wireless from the perspective of physics. Considering the current situation of the nation, operator and social resources, the construction of the backbone of the country, including the backbone of provincial level, it should be said that there exists a certain foundation. Now the urban and rural access may still need some force. The urban access mainly focus on the replacement of copper cables with optical fiber cables, because the speed of copper has been relatively passive.

In the optical field, the optical fiber needs to go abroad, we are doing some helpful attempts on this aspect, go forward in One Belt and One Way, there are certain reserves in the Middle East and the sea, handle this affair in the next step.

Thirdly, it is about the rural area. Overall, the coverage of rural 3G and copper broadband is over 95%, but the urban-rural gap with the remaining 5% and 4G makes the problems of rural areas be concerned. The gap of information cannot appear in the new round of development.

Fourth, the network should be used after being well constructed, to benefit people's livelihood. There are two aspects of benefitting people's livelihood, including various industries related with the people's livelihood, such as medical treatment, sanitation, how to achieve integrated packing of education, which are actually the contents of the Internet of things. Next, the supporting facility on the aspect of the users' home and terminal needs to match. For example, open cooperation, promote and support dual cards six mode full Netcom phones.

The Fifth Plenary Session proposes that the strong cyberpower is not only the network of telecom operators, there are problems of network reconstitution. The consumption of CT (Communication Technology Industry) and IT (Information Technology Industry), in fact, is a measuring index of informatization. It is expected that the component of IT is larger than that of CT on the network in the future, taking the leading place.

Currently, the reason why BAT enterprises can provide services more flexibly, expediently, cheaper than China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom is that it bases on IT, the telecom operators base on CT, the telecom operators should seize the opportunity to carry out the network reconfiguration.

Now, some software based on network and NFV (Network Functions Virtualisation) is launched, in fact, it is to increase the  software components of the network, Huawei and ZTE have done beforehand on this aspect. Not only must the operators actively promote, but also the various forces of industrial chains in the whole China together do this thing.

I have two specific suggestions: firstly, the network, especially the basic network, except the telecom operators, needs the whole social forces, including various capitals, to make efforts together, and promote sharing. Secondly, in the remote rural areas, and in the regions of One Belt and One Way at abroad, may need to establish funds and universal service mechanism.
