Chen Zhaoxiong, vice-minister of industry and information technology, the nation's industry regulator, said China has been working hard to extend 5G network coverage. By the end of this year, more than 130,000 5G base stations will enter into service to support the network, marking one of the world' s largest 5G deployments. ggaThe big three telecom operators, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, for the first time chose to price tariffs by internet speed rather than data allowance. For instance, China Unicom prices the data plan which allows peak speed of 500Mbps at 199 yuan. For those who want to enjoy peak speed of 1Gbps, they have to pay at least 299 yuan. Lyu Tingjie, a telecom professor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, said per gigabyte of 5G is lower. About 497,000 5G Smart phones have already been shipped to the Chinese mainland in the past three months, data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology shows.
