Recently, the three major telecom operators are promoting the achievements of the third anniversary of 5G commercial use. According to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, my country's 5G network construction has exceeded the task. As of the end of September, there were more than 2.2 million 5G base stations in the country, accounting for more than 60% of the world's 5G base stations; the number of 5G users exceeded 500 million, and the penetration rate of all mobile phone users in my country exceeded 30%; 5G scale application industry projects include Tens of thousands of "5G+X" application scenarios abound. It can be said that China's 5G development has achieved remarkable results in the three years of commercial use.

However, the climax of 5G development is far from here, and there are still many challenges: how to promote the development of C-end user applications and improve the 5G experience; how to improve the 5G coverage, not only to cover the vast remote areas, but also to improve the 5G hotspot areas. Indoor and outdoor network coverage - the existing 2.2 million 5G base stations are obviously not enough to support the needs of future 5G users; how to improve the availability of 5G, the satisfaction of future 5G users with 5G cannot be evaluated only by the population coverage covered by 5G. The certainty of the network is the key to development. These are not only the needs of C-end users, but also the rigid needs of industry users for the performance of 5G networks; how to attract more industry users, although 5G has been used in 40 of the 97 categories of the national economy. However, it is undeniable that 5G to B applications are faced with the problems of too long chains and long implementation cycles. The 5G business model needs to be broken through. In the three years of commercial use, whether it is to C or to B, 5G is still immersed in one. In the atmosphere of a new connection technology rather than an innovative platform, the industry is keen to discuss 5G-Advanced, 6G and the "sluggish market" of the Metaverse, which actually reflects a certain weakness in 5G business innovation.

How to solve these problems, let 5G develop with high quality, and play a more active role in strengthening the industry and benefiting people's livelihood? The key to 5G development lies in more active policy support. As we all know, the key to China's 5G development in the past three years is the support of national policies. From the issuance of 5G licenses, to the introduction of the "new infrastructure" strategy, to the strong support of local governments for 5G construction, the "policy dividend" is 5G One of the reasons for the rapid development.

With the development of 5G on the right track, we see that the "policy dividend" factor is hiding behind. In terms of 5G development, the government more often plays the role of industry guidance. For example, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched the "5G Application" last year. Sail "Action Plan (2021-2023)". At present, the development of 5G is broader and deeper, and it is still inseparable from the strong support of policies to solve some deep-seated problems.

First of all, in terms of the utilization of frequency resources, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently approved China Unicom to re-cultivate the frequency resources of the 900MHz frequency band currently used for 2G/3G/4G systems for 5G systems. The introduction of this policy shows that government authorities are using spectrum resources to promote the high-quality development of 5G. The re-cultivation of frequency resources is of great significance to the ecological construction of the low-frequency 5G industry.

Second, the government can use more aggressive measures to accelerate the development of 5G industry applications. First, how to guide the industry to build a 5G industry private network moderately ahead of schedule, and encourage industry users, telecom operators, and cloud computing companies to conduct more cooperation based on the industry private network, explore new models and find new paths; the second is to speed up the development of 5G industry private networks. Standard setting. In this regard, the industry has been actively promoting it, but it still needs appropriate assistance from the competent authorities to speed up the process.

Finally, it is necessary to play a more active policy guidance in the ecological construction of the 5G industry. For example, 5G news is a generally optimistic 5G application in the industry, and it is an application that can detonate 5G to C and to B, but it is still "big thunder and little rain", and it is in an embarrassing situation. The reason is nothing more than the distribution of interests among operators, terminal manufacturers and application manufacturers. This was originally a market development issue, but when the interests of several parties cannot be balanced, from the overall situation of 5G development, government authorities need to give strong guidance, otherwise, 5G news may die prematurely.
