VAP started in 2005, why?
•1997, ChinaTelecom (Hong Kong) with 51% private ownership set up, operated in 2 provinces;1999-2000, Competition between ChinaTelecom and new carriers ( China Mobile, China Unicom , China Railcom, China Satcom ) started•2000, China Unicom IPO in New York and Hongkong stock markets, first foreign joint venture (AT&T) enter China telecom.service market;•2000-2004, 4 major carriers all became mixed ownership with strategic foreign investors join.

Since 2007 VAP extend to three parts
2008 VAP statistics:
1. VAP: 99.7% administrative villages, 92.4% natural villages access to phones (at least two phones in each villages);
2. Rural Internet :
– Whole country 98% towns access to Internet, among them 97% towns by
Broadband. In 27 provinces Internet is available is available for all towns.
– Whole country 89% administrative villages could connect to Internet, In 19
provinces Internet is available for every administrative villages. 3. Rural Information Service
– Rural oriented Website, Town Information Station, and IT training ,
– experiments in 10 provinces

How to implement VA Project in China
VA project is a kind of Socialistic Type of Campaign
----- Promoting rural economic development, enforcing rural education
and enriching rural lives by establishing information infrastructures and service platform
in rural areas.
-----Several governmental departments including MIIT, NDRC, SASAC and MA involved in VAP
in policy making and planning
-----A Transition from Political Campaign to Market Oriented Mechanism Planner and manager: MII (now MIIT) and its provincial branches. Undertakers : 6 telecommunications carriers( consolidated into 3 in 2008) Time frame:
2004 experiment in 13 provinces
since 2005 rollout in whole country
General goals to 2020..
MII, Telecomm. regulator; NDRC: competition authority; SASAC: public owner, MA: Ministry of agriculture
Page 10 April 21, 2023
Government roles in VA projectPlanning and tasks designation : MII makes the long term goals
and annual plans , and distribute annual tasks to carriers. MII provincial branches PCB in charge of coordinating, supervising and examining.
Processing management : Every quarter every TA assess every
carrier achievements in its province and report to MII. MII make statistics analysis of whole nation and report to Central government, provincial governments, all carriers and main public medias.
Privilege policies : Spectrum and numbering used in VA could be an exception of
national uniform plan, flexible in choose new techs
Tariff : carriers have the discretion of setting price ,only requirement
is not higher than cities. Compared to restrict price regulation in cities (dominant carrier floor price, non-discrimination terminate fee between different carriers)
Page 11 April 21, 2023
Investment
From 2004 to 2008, Every Carrier invest VA project and fulfill the
tasks by itself. They totally 460Billion RMB (99% used for equipments and
engineering layout).
Since 2006, Treasury department of Chinese Central government
provide 3.5 to 4 billion RMB to subsidy 6 carriers for their deficits in VA
project installation and maintenance. -----Carriers need put in its own
money.
Provincial governments provide some privilege policies in Tax, power
supply and land usage .Some provinces have appropriate funds for VA.
-----Provincial governments try to play more part.
Long term---Establish Universal Service Fund
Page 12 April 21, 2023
How to designate tasks?
Principal : the more strength, the more assignment. Calculated by a study group consists of officers from MII, SASAC,NDRC
and MA, representatives of six carriers, and neutral scholars, in terms of annual
revenue, subscribers market share, etc.
Distribution: Segment the 31provinces into six designate areas.分片包干——指定区域Every carrier in charge of making the villages and towns in his designated area
accessible and affordable to telephone. According MII Five-year-plan,
accomplish designated tasks (the numbers of unconnected villages) in set
timeframe and in designated provinces.
Each carrier’ task is consistent but might be adjusted at the beginning of every year after a intensive discussion and bargain

-Technology: low cost, wide coverage; fool-proof and robust; Domestic equipments preference.
- Network : Achieve VA goals by extending its existing networks

Why non/little-subsidy UF policy works in China
Undertakers are all state-owned common carriers.
3State-owned enterprises have special roles in china economy system and relationship with
governments. There are 3 basic Service providers (common carriers, state-owned), 1844 national
value-added service providers( 90% are private).20000 local VAS providers.
Political pressure
High rank Managers are nominated by Central Government. Their Assessment
includes both economics achievements and political corrects.
Social pressure
State-owned establish from scratch by public capitals, the public ever sacrificed personal benefits
for their growth;
Generally have high reputation in Chinese, the public expect them more social accountabilities
than ordinary enterprises.
Long term profits attraction enable carriers leverage between government and private
shareholders
New subscribers more and more come from rural market (accounts for 30%).Compared to city market,
less competition.
Convinced by China Mobile’s successes in rural markets.

SASACstate-owned Assets Supervision and administration Commission
NDRC
National Development and Reform Commission,
There are about 100 state-owned business now. In future the number will drop to 50 or so by privatization and consolidation. They are under the supervision of three different departments of Chinese central government. Their joint aggressive pushes made non-subsidy universal services in China possible.
policy conflictsof different departments
might give carriers excuses for elusive behaviors
Relationship of stated-own business and government
Page 16
Challenge—non-subsidy policy sustainable?
Lack of systematic institution arrangements
How much state ownership should and could in common carriers’ operation?
Unclear Central –local government jurisdictions

China Economy System Evolution
1949-1979
Planned Economy
Public sector 95%• state-owned and -run
enterprises (basic and key industry)
• Collective owned and run enterprises at different administrative levels ( province, city, county, town, village)
Private sector• Small self-employed
business
• others
Socialist Market Economy
2007 About 40% GDPpublic sector
• State-owned enterprisesPartially privatization
•Collective enterprises totally or partially Privatization 90%
•Private companies play an important role.
Separate the ownership and management of public sector
set public assets supervision systemand market regulation system
Privatize state-owned and collective enterprise
Since 1990s Economy restructure by Privatization, Globalization, Liberalization
Stimulus policy for private sector growth (2nD FDI country)

Socialist market economy• Market plays fundamental role in resource allocation and price set
• Economy shared by diverse forms of capital
• Public sector be dominant player in infrastructure and key industries. absolute or relative share holding adopted under different circumstances
Can go there? How to get there? No one has clear ideas. No emulated path.

Transitional
Page 19
Transitional institutional environments
•Hard to reach national consensus because of heavy controversies; •Corruption, during privatization•Compromise between different benefit groups, domestic need and international pressures
Adjusting and reforming gradually• Transition from lots of temporary departmental rules to formal law ;• A lot of coordination case by case among different level governments, and government-enterprises.
Astonishing changes for 1.3 billion people in 30 years compared to cultural traditions and history burdens of 5000 years•Industrialization ---50% rural population engages in agricultural produce, 1978 is 80% •Urbanization7000m lives in countryside without public utility and social security, unemployment pressure•GlobalizationWeak domestic private capital, lack expertise in international trade rules etc.
Present: ambiguous governments’ roles; legislation behind practice; inconsistent rules.Someday? in future: Systematic institutional arrangements

Central and local government jurisdiction in VAP
presentpresent
• Central level (MII)Infrastructure &basic service;
inter-province VAS;
Common carriers
• Local level (PCB)PCBs are Provincial branches of MII,
independent of local governmentLocal VAS (non-facility information service)
Local VAS providers
•Central level (MIIT)Basic service and inter-province VAS by MIIT
Carriers supervised by NDRC+SASAC+MIIT
•Local level ( PCB)PCBs become an department of provincial
governments they located;PCB jurisdiction keep unchanged
UFO: VAP—Basic telephone
UFO: VAP +Internet access +Rural information service
Local governments try to play a part in local ICT service development. But they have not enough influence in carriers and many provinces have to rely on central-level investment on UFO.
