Difficult transition of domestic mobile phone companies

December 12th, Zhang Xinsheng, inspector of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the Ministry of Communications stated at the “2012 China Mobile Phone Industry Development Conference” that the development of mobile internet has changed the direction of global mobile phone development. Chinese terminal companies and operators should take the initiative to “hugging” mobile. Internet industry.

Zhang Xinsheng said that China's terminal enterprises are undergoing a full-scale transformation from functional to smart phones, and most domestic mobile phone companies are losing money and even losing hundreds of millions of dollars. They urgently need to be transformed and upgraded.

Zhang Xinsheng believes that the current terminal enterprises are developing in the direction of "broadband, mobile, intelligence, convergence, and security." From a technical point of view, technologies such as cloud computing, mobile Internet, and the Internet of Things have begun to affect the development of terminal enterprises. From the perspective of trends, China's Internet users currently exceed 588 million, of which 388 million are using mobile terminals to access the Internet, accounting for more than 70%. Chinese companies should take advantage of technological transformation and upgrading and strengthen cooperation with the Internet and mobile Internet industries.

China has now become the world's largest smartphone market. According to market research company IDC data, the total volume of global smart device shipments in the third quarter of this year was 303.6 million units, of which 60 million were smart phone shipments in the Chinese market, accounting for about 1/5 of the total. However, Apple and Samsung both accounted for almost the vast majority of profits and operator subsidies, and Chinese mobile phone companies have less profit.
