We will further deepen cooperation and sharing of telecommunications infrastructure

First, what is the background of the introduction of the Implementation Opinions?

The CPC Central Committee and The State Council attach great importance to the layout of infrastructure construction. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to optimize the layout, structure, function and system integration of infrastructure, and build a modern infrastructure system. The Overall Layout Plan for the Construction of Digital China emphasizes the need to consolidate the foundation for the construction of digital China, open up the major arteries of digital infrastructure construction, and accelerate the coordinated construction of 5G networks and Gigabit optical networks. The "14th Five-Year Plan" for the Development of the information and Communication industry clearly states that it is necessary to further promote the co-construction and sharing of telecommunications infrastructure and accelerate the construction of the "double gigabit" network.

Since 2008, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council have continuously promoted the joint construction and sharing of telecommunications infrastructure, issued implementation opinions for deployment every year, established mechanisms, clear rules, and strong assessment, reduced duplicate construction, saved resource consumption, and improved the utilization rate of telecommunications infrastructure, and achieved positive progress and remarkable results. In May 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council jointly issued the Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Joint Construction and Sharing of Telecommunications Infrastructure to Support the Accelerated Construction and Development of 5G Networks, further optimizing the working mechanism for the joint construction and sharing of telecommunications infrastructure, giving full play to the role of the market, and providing an effective guarantee for accelerating the construction and development of 5G.

With the deepening of the co-construction and sharing of telecommunications infrastructure, the co-construction and sharing of telecommunications infrastructure is facing new situations and showing new characteristics. First, the "double gigabit" network represented by 5G and gigabit optical networks has entered the stage of rapid development and construction, and there is an urgent need to optimize the "double gigabit" network construction environment and greatly improve the coverage level of the "double gigabit" network. Second, the social facilities in the fields of power, municipal, transportation and other areas are rich in resources, and have become the high-quality carrier of the deep coverage of the "double gigabit" network, and cross-industry resource sharing has gradually become an effective way to improve the efficiency and efficiency of the "double gigabit" network construction and avoid repeated construction and resource waste. Third, with the construction and development of rural "double gigabit" network, the demands of rural communication pole regulation are increasingly urgent, and it is urgent to promote the co-construction and sharing of new poles and strengthen the maintenance and combing of stock poles.

In the face of the new situation and new requirements, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, on the basis of previous work, jointly deployed and promoted a new round of telecommunications infrastructure co-construction and sharing work with relevant departments, strengthened overall planning from the policy level, expanded the scope of cross-industry co-construction and sharing, optimized the layout of infrastructure, focused on improving the level of telecommunications infrastructure co-construction and sharing, and promoted the high-quality development of "double gigabit" network.

2. In what aspects is the significance of co-construction and sharing of telecommunications infrastructure reflected?

The joint construction and sharing of telecommunications infrastructure is an effective practice to improve people's well-being. Promoting the joint entry of the "double gigabit" network can further improve the network coverage level and service capacity of key areas and key places, protect the rights of users in residential areas, residential buildings, commercial buildings and other buildings to choose broadband network services on an equal basis, and consolidate the network foundation for people's happy life. Strengthening the improvement of rural poles and lines can promote the significant improvement of rural living environment and help build a livable, suitable and beautiful countryside.

The joint construction and sharing of telecommunications infrastructure is an important measure for the complete, accurate and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept. The joint construction and sharing of telecommunications infrastructure is based on the new development stage, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concepts of innovation, coordination, green, open and sharing, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, implement the comprehensive conservation strategy, actively build a green and low-carbon construction environment, and follow the principle of "intensive use of existing resources, can share and not build new". Efforts will be made to promote the intensive and efficient construction of the "double gigabit" network.
