The major objective is to measure the differences between Eastern, Central and Western China. Methods of map presentation, correlation, Lorenz curve, Gini Coefficient and location quotient analysis arc conducted in this study. For convenience, the indicator of regional Internet development is simplified as the number of domain names registered under. CN in each province. The data used are collected from the semi-annual surveys of the Statistical Survey Report on the Intrenet Development in China since 1999. There are several findings: 1) The number of domain names in each province (city) declines gradually from the east to the west. 2) The gap between the highest growth provinces (cities) and the lowest ones is rather large. 3) Although the absolute differences between the eastern, central and western China have been enlarged, the relative differences in each province (city) have remained constant. 4) Provinces (cities) are classified into three types according to location quotient changes, namely, rising type, changeless type and declining type. Compared with industrial and economic growth, Internet sector in the eastern and western China is relatively ascending, while that in the central China is descending. 5) The number of domain names at provincial level is not statistically consistent with GDP.展开更多

The development of new technologies such as Mashup and mobile widgets will enable better service for users and new business models, bringing benefits for the industrial chain members including operators, vendors, Content Providers/Service Providers (CPs/SPs) and Internet application providers. The mobile Internet and the traditional Internet not only compete for contents and services, but also cooperate with each other; and the mobile Internet services should focus on mobile applications to avoid the homogenization with traditional Internet service.展开更多

The service development model relies more on open Application Programme Interface (API); and the online application software store is becoming an important platform for service delivery. The terminal platform has been the commanding point of the layout and competition of the mobile Inernet in the world. Based on the smart terminal, the competition for platform system from the hardware platform to the operation system, the middleware and the applications platform have been in shape globally. The competition in the terminal platform of mobile Internet is moving from close to open, from uni-controlled by one company to open and cooperated by the whole industry. China should forge a terminal platform system and the ecosystem for the mobile Internet industry, and seek to achieve an overall breakthrough in the whole value chain of the industry based on the huge mobile user market and the productivity of the terminal. The breakthrough should start from the application software, stepping from the top to the bottom platform, to extend the industry chain.展开更多

The fresh markets of video communication for recreational/educational purposes and information household appliance networking are also on the horizon. In other words, IPv6 means new revenue resources for telecom carriers.展开更多
