Private operators, which were not optimistic in the past, are starting to make progress in the 5G era

Why are the three major operators called the three major profiteers? I believe everyone is very clear about this, because the three major operators are state-owned enterprises and have always been in a monopoly position in the domestic mobile communications industry. Consumers have no other choice except these three operators. The monopoly has led to the gradual weakening of the vitality of the market. With only three operators competing, consumers have difficulty in having enough product choices.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also noticed the people's complaints, so in order to break the monopoly, in 2013 the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology allowed private operators to enter the market. However, due to the cost of signal base stations, private operators can only rent signals from the three major operators. Therefore, many people are not optimistic about the development of private operators, believing that private operators who cannot break away from the constraints of the three major operators will never be able to develop.

In fact, this is true. In the past, many private operators were in long-term losses and had to declare bankruptcy and be taken over by other operators. However, in the post-4G era, as Chinese netizens' demand for data traffic has increased, many private operators have achieved profitability through their main data traffic card products. In the 5G era, the three major operators and private operators are on the same track. Many private operators who have tasted the sweetness have chosen to continue to work hard and launch low-priced 5G packages to compete with the three major operators.

For example, the 5G Free Choice launched by the more representative Quanmin Youda in the market has caused a lot of controversy in the market. The monthly rent of this 5G Free Choice is only 9 yuan, excluding any traffic and call duration. It can be said to be very clean, and it is almost the same as the number preservation package that everyone usually talks about. And this package is indeed very free, with traffic packages ranging from 20GB to 100GB to choose from, and at the lowest, it only costs 1.2 yuan per GB of traffic.

You should know that the lowest-level package of the three major operators costs 128 yuan, and the configured traffic is only 30GB. Although 30GB of traffic is enough for most people's daily use, this 30GB of traffic is really not worth the price of 128 yuan. Although the 5G packages of the three major operators have begun to be discounted, the discount is only 30%. The monthly rent is still about 90 yuan, which is still relatively expensive.

Private operators, which were not favored in the past, have proved their feasibility in the 4G era. In the 5G era, will the private operators who have chosen to make efforts set off an era of contention among a hundred schools of thought?
