It has been two and a half years since the 5G license was issued. In addition to the fast network speed, there has been a lack of killer applications. The 5G news has high hopes. A few days ago, China Telecom officially announced the commercial use of 5G news. It is expected that China Unicom and China Mobile will follow soon.
What is 5G messaging? It is understood that 5G messages can be implemented on an interface similar to traditional text messages, and you can see information such as call bills, traffic queries, and popular rights and interests.
5G messages will also break the length limitation of traditional short messages for each message, and the content will also break through the limitations of text, realizing the effective integration of text, pictures, audio, video, location and other information.
Simply put, 5G messaging is to turn text messages into WeChat.
The most direct use is that merchants, banks, institutions, etc. can directly provide services. You no longer need to pay attention to a lot of WeChat public accounts, and look at a lot of small red dots every day.
5G news was previously considered a WeChat killer. You must know that Tencent used WeChat to kill operators’ SMS and even voice call services. Now the three major operators want to make 5G information a “WeChat killer”.
However, 5G news has not been recognized by netizens, and even experts in telecom business are not optimistic. One of the important reasons is that 5G news has to be charged——Individuals receive free of charge, but the charging standard for sending 5G messages is similar to that of text messages, which is almost a dime per current standard, while corporate users are charged separately according to different message types.
Sina Technology quoted Fu Liang, an independent telecommunications analyst, as saying that personal tariffs for 5G news are too high, which will limit the development of 5G news.
Netizens have turned on the Tucao mode: “I still charge for sending a message? Why don’t I use WeChat?”, “Myopia still charges, 2G thinking in the 5G era”.
