5G is coming. If you think it is too expensive, sorry, the operator will force you to switch to 5G "voluntarily"

Today, China Telecom released the "5G SA Security Enhanced SIM Card White Paper". The white paper points out that at this stage, users access the 5G network through 4G cards. The existing 4G cards lack the new functions and newly added card files and services defined in the 5G standard. User identity data is transmitted in plain text during communication, and location information is not accurate enough, which can no longer meet the information and security requirements of the 5G network.

Once this news was released, it also triggered heated discussions among netizens. Let's take a look at the focus of everyone's attention.

1. Regarding the charge for switching from 4G to 5G

Some netizens made a straightforward translation of the content of the "White Paper" as follows: 4G cards can no longer meet our needs to increase fees. In order to improve the interests of this industry and of course to continue to serve you, we have changed 4G to 5G, and the number has been added, so the fee must also be increased.

Of course, you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to. Just don’t blame the network for being unsafe.

Maybe the operators feel that the 4G packages are too cheap and urgently need to increase the package rates.

It feels like they are going to force 5G? In the name of 5G, they are actually raising prices.

2. About 4G network information security issues

Some people questioned: Now is the era of "cheating money" by technology, 4G is not safe, why did we promote 4G in the first place?

Someone gave a brilliant answer: Because 5G is going to be promoted, 4G must be unsafe. If you are told that you are safe, you are safe even if you are not safe. If you are told that you are not safe, you are not safe even if you are not safe.

Some people came out to correct: It’s not that 4G is unsafe, it’s that it’s unsafe to connect 4G cards to 5G.

Some people also say: Network information security is not a 4G or 5G issue. The same security and insecurity issues existed in the 2G and 3G eras. It has nothing to do with technology at all! In the final analysis, it’s a matter of money! Talking about information security in China is simply nonsense.

When 4G was promoted, they also said 3G was unsafe! In order to make us switch to 5G, are other frequency bands unsafe? After 6G comes out, they will definitely say that 5G cannot meet the requirements. Anyway, I switched to 100G, and the harassing messages did not stop. Scam calls also came in.

3. About the speed of 4G network

Some people began to doubt: My 4G signal was full before, but it has been full recently. What’s going on? Does it have anything to do with 5G? When there was no 5G, 4G was not stuck at all.

Some knowledgeable people also came out to explain: It is normal for the Internet speed to be slow, because the bandwidth of a base station is limited, and the bandwidth is freed up for 5G.

Others said: As long as the Internet speed is sufficient, it will be fine. After all, the speed of economy cannot catch up with the speed of Internet!

4. Whether it is a routine of Telecom

Some people say: Since the launch of 5G, 4G is no longer the original 4G. When 4G was first promoted, it was very attractive, saying that if you don't turn off 4G at night, your house will be gone in the morning. Now, it's just a change of numbers, so why not just change it to 10,000G.

Some people also believe that the purpose of promoting 5G is to encourage you to consume and change your mobile phone.

In the beginning they said it was voluntary and not forced, but after a while they upgraded everything “for your sake”.

If 4G profits are low, people will say there is something wrong with 4G, and if 5G base stations are few, you will have to change your phone in the end!

I feel like China Telecom is trying to take advantage of you by slowing down 4G and making it freeze up from time to time. Use 5G. It feels weird.

Some people say that what you said is right, mainly because we can't afford to buy mobile phones. We can switch to 5G, but we will charge according to the current 4G charging standards, because ordinary people don't have money. If you think about it, you have to say that this year's netizens' interpretation of the white paper is really interesting!
