The Ministry of Information Industry issued a notice: The developer of the phone installed in the community has no right to arrange

Citizens who intend to buy a building should pay attention to who will install the phone (or broadband) in the community, and the user will have the final say. The Ministry of Information Industry recently issued a notice saying that the telecommunications facilities of the newly built community are built by developers, and their costs are included in the housing prices. The developers or properties should provide equal access and use conditions for each telecommunications operator, and who will install the phone for each household? Or broadband is at your discretion, developers and property management have no right to arrange.

This means that in the future, telecommunications operators such as telecommunications, Netcom, and Tietong will not be able to engage in "enclosures" and enjoy "alone food" in residential areas and commercial and residential buildings. Industry analysts say this helps break the developer's monopoly on the "last mile."

In some newly built properties or communities in Guangzhou, telecommunications, Tietong and Netcom are competing for construction sites frequently, which has caused some residents in new communities to slowly install the phones they want to install.

Developer: Use the user as a bargaining chip to sell at a high price

Due to fierce competition, these fixed-line operators must negotiate with real estate developers at a high price. After winning, they must pay the construction costs and pay the management fees to the developers and property management companies; in return, the developers or

The property management company does not allow other operators to enter the community.

It is in this competitive environment that developers have also obtained exclusive benefits by selling the exclusive construction, use and operation rights of community building communication lines to telecommunications operators through certain methods. When a telecommunications operator fully invests in the communication network in the community, the community shall not allow other operators to settle in during the agreement period of up to several decades, so that the community users must have no other than to access the phone through this company. s Choice.

This actually deviates from the provisions of the "Telecommunications Regulations". China's telecommunications regulations clearly stipulate that the centralized wiring exchange room in the supporting construction of residential quarters and commercial and residential buildings is a public telecommunications supporting facility, which can be enjoyed by all telecommunications operators.

Ministry of Information Industry: The cost is amortized and the property right of the house price belongs to the user

This time, the Ministry of Information Industry notice requires that developers or property management should provide equal access and use conditions for telecommunications operators. When a telecommunications business operator invests in the reconstruction of an established telecommunications facility, it shall carry out the construction of telecommunications facilities in accordance with the standards entered by multiple telecommunications business operators, and lease it to the telecommunications business operator in need.

According to the regulations, the user's resident network (commonly known as the "last mile") is commissioned by a real estate developer to commission a professional communications construction company, the cost is borne by the developer, and the property rights are owned by the user. The regulation also clarifies the responsibility of the developer: in the future, the developer will be responsible for the construction of new residential communication pipelines and communication dark pipes and lines in the building. Real estate developers shall not sign monopoly (exclusive) agreements with telecommunications business operators, and shall not restrict the legal entry of other telecommunications operating companies in any way and reason, and shall not restrict or disguise consumers' right to choose telecommunications business operators and telecommunications businesses in accordance with law.

That is to say, although the new community telecommunications facilities are built by developers, their costs are included in the housing price, and are public facilities owned by all owners. For which operator to let in to rent facilities, provide services, and install telephones for each household Or broadband, developers and property management have no right to arrange.

In Guangdong, the Guangdong Provincial Communications Administration and the Guangdong Provincial Department of Construction have jointly issued documents to stop this developer ’s practice of depriving telecommunications users of their options.

Operators: There are still many difficulties in implementation

A person in charge of Guangdong Tietong said that there are still many problems that are difficult to solve for the communication facilities in the community, such as where to place the shared computer room? How to solve the maintenance problem in use? Does the property company have the right to manage? In addition, since the right of choice is in the hands of users, this is also disadvantageous to the weaker operators.

A person from the Communications Administration of a place believes that to solve the problem of real estate developers monopolizing the "last mile", it should also be clarified in the "Telecommunication Law" that is being formulated, such as clarifying that real estate developers are obliged to use the red line for construction planning Internal construction of communication channels; construction of public telecommunications supporting facilities such as exchange rooms, which will be provided to various telecommunications operators free of charge, and it is up to the ultimate consumer to decide which telecommunications operator provides services.

What is the "last mile"?

From the service concentration point of the user's residence to the transmission and line between the user terminal and other related facilities, it is commonly known as the last mile. To put it simply, it is the line from outside the residential area to the user's home. Telecom companies that provide telephone or broadband can collect money as long as they are stuck in the "last mile", but generally they have to reach an agreement with the developer to get "Pass" for household registration.
