Treat the common people for fools? Professor Beihang tears off the 5G "fig leaf", the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: will never be soft
Recently, Sun Wei, a well-known professor at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (Beihang University), sharply criticized the marketing strategy of 5G operators in public, pointing out that it is disrespectful to consumers by artificially reducing the speed and performance of 4G networks and forcing consumers to upgrade to 5G packages. This point of view quickly aroused widespread attention and discussion from all walks of life, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also expressed a clear attitude on this matter, saying that it would strengthen supervision and never tolerate such behavior.
In his speech, Professor Sun Wei pointed out that in the current construction and promotion of 5G networks, some operators have adopted improper marketing methods. They deliberately reduce the speed and performance of the 4G network, causing users to face various inconveniences when continuing to use the 4G network, such as slow network speed and unstable signal. And the only way to solve these problems seems to be to upgrade to a 5G package. Professor Sun Wei believes that this practice is not only disrespectful to consumers, but also destroys the order of market competition.
In fact, this kind of "inducement" marketing is not unique. In the past few years, with the gradual rollout of 5G networks, major operators are trying to gain market share. However, in this process, in order to pursue short-term economic benefits, some operators have adopted various means to promote 5G packages, including some improper marketing strategies. These behaviors not only harm the rights and interests of consumers, but also affect the healthy development of the entire industry.
Regarding Professor Sun Wei's criticism, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that it would attach great importance to it. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) said it will strengthen the supervision of operators, and will seriously deal with operators who adopt improper marketing methods in accordance with laws and regulations. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will also actively promote the construction and application of 5G networks, strengthen cooperation with other industries, promote the wide application of 5G technology in various fields, and inject new impetus into economic and social development.
It is worth noting that 5G technology, as a new generation of information and communication technology, is of great significance for promoting economic transformation and upgrading, improving social governance, and improving people's livelihood and well-being. However, to achieve these goals, it requires the joint efforts and promotion of the whole society. As an important participant and promoter of 5G network construction, operators should assume corresponding responsibilities and obligations, conduct business with the principles of integrity, fairness and transparency, and provide consumers with high-quality services and experiences.
In addition, for the majority of consumers, they should also keep a rational and sober mind, and not be confused by the marketing strategies of operators. When choosing communication services, you should make a reasonable choice according to your actual needs and economic capabilities, and avoid blindly following the trend and unnecessary waste. At the same time, consumers should also strengthen their awareness of self-protection, and promptly complain and report to the relevant departments for improper marketing behaviors they encounter, so as to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
In short, the behavior of Sun Wei, a professor at Beihang University, tearing off the 5G "fig leaf" has aroused widespread concern and discussion in the society. This is not only a criticism and reminder to operators, but also a supervision and promotion of the entire 5G industry. In the future, we need to work together to promote the healthy development and wide application of 5G technology, and inject new impetus and vitality into economic and social development.
