China Unicom announced that in order to better reflect the company's positive progress in seizing new opportunities, embracing new changes and achieving new developments, it will optimize the monthly operational data disclosure indicators from February 2022. Since then, China Unicom has broken the tradition of listing for 20 years and systematically optimized the monthly voluntary information disclosure indicators for the first time.
The reporter noted that in the previous monthly operation data announcement, China Unicom's data disclosure was mainly divided into two parts, one is mobile business, the other is fixed network business; the changed China Unicom February operation data announcement focuses on four parts, including "ubiquitous smart connection", "innovative application", "smart service" and "scientific and technological innovation".
Specifically, in the "Ubiquitous Smart Connection" section, China Unicom disclosed three data, the number of "big connection" users is 771 million households (the cumulative arrival of "big connection" users = the cumulative arrival of mobile outbound users + the cumulative arrival of fixed-line broadband users + the cumulative arrival of fixed-line local telephone users + the cumulative arrival of IoT terminal connections + the cumulative arrival of network private line users), of which the cumulative arrival of 5G package users is 165 million, and the cumulative arrival of IoT terminal connections is 308 million. In the "Innovative Applications" section, China Unicom disclosed the number of virtual private network service customers in the 5G industry, up from 1,238 in February. In the "smart operation" section, China Unicom disclosed two data, the problem solving rate of smart customer service customers in February was 97.4%, and the proportion of smart customer service smart services was 72.1%. In the "Scientific and Technological Innovation" section, China Unicom disclosed that as of the end of February, the cumulative number of authorized patents this year was 263.
China Unicom said that it will change the monthly voluntary information disclosure to a direction that focuses more on the company's strategic guidance, respects industry laws, is more in line with market concerns, and is more conducive to enhancing the value of investors. How to achieve the four "changes" starts with a more intuitive and transparent data. How to understand the transformation of China Unicom, the reporter believes that it can be found in the new strategy of China Unicom. On December 6, 2021, China Unicom officially released the new strategy of "strengthening the foundation, keeping the integrity of innovation, and integrating and opening up". The four parts of the monthly operation data announcement, "ubiquitous smart connection" and "smart operation" can be regarded as adhering to the "strong foundation and solid foundation", the disclosure of the number of authorized patents in "scientific and technological innovation" is the interpretation of "shouzheng innovation", and the number of virtual private network service customers in the 5G industry disclosed in "innovative application" is the practice of "integration and opening up".
On the 11th of this month, China Unicom released the 2021 annual performance report of A-share companies. The report shows that in 2021, China Unicom's revenue growth rate hit a new high in eight years. At that time, the reporter also analyzed the four highlights of this financial report: first, the steady growth of operating performance, rapid improvement in profitability, net profit of 14.4 billion yuan, an increase of 15.0% year-on-year; second, the number of users of the two types of users "long" is gratifying, and the basic business has stabilized and rebounded. The net increase in mobile outbound users reached 11.3 million, significantly better than the net decrease of 12.66 million in 2020, the net increase of fixed-line broadband users in the whole year was 8.95 million, and the annual net increase in the scale of users hit a new record high in the history of China Unicom; third, the tide of co-construction and sharing rolled forward with 5G, and the two sides of the ITL opened 690,000 5G base stations, building the world's largest 5G co-construction and sharing network, and 5G package users reached 155 million; fourth, the performance of innovative services was "bright" again, and the formation of innovation capabilities was accelerated. The revenue of industrial Internet business increased by 28.2% year-on-year to 54.8 billion yuan, accounting for 18.5% of the overall service revenue.
The small changes disclosed in the monthly operating data reflect China Unicom's new self-expression in the new stage of development. In the reporter's view, this change is China Unicom's full confidence in its own strength and future development momentum, a new exploration after getting rid of the role of a single plumber, and striding forward on the road of digital economy construction. This time, in the new journey of high-quality development, China Unicom decided to firmly hold the competitive chips in its hands.
