Dennis, this biography of Wu is less scathing: <<In response to consumer complaints about exorbitant rates and poor service from China Telecom (which is backed by the MII), and in order to increase consumer access to advanced technology, Wu slashed prices for telephone line installation, mobile network access, Internet access fees, telephone charges for Internet use, and data communication. The drastic cuts accelerated telephone popularization in rural areas, doubled the number of Chinese netizens, and enabled Chinese ISPs to expand their business and telecom facilities, which in turn benefited Chinese ICPs. Although telecom revenue suffered thereby, Wu hoped that telecom businesses would be prompted to explore more market-oriented channels for profit-earnings.>> chinaonline.com
