China Looks To Control Internet Telephony Services February 8, 1999 TOKYO, JAPAN, Newsbytes via NewsEdge Corporation : Despite a recent court case that found Internet telephony services do not infringe on China Telecom's international telephone monopoly, the Chinese government has announced its intention to crack down on Internet telephony services. Zhang Chunjiang, director of the Telecommunications Administrative Bureau under the Ministry of Information Industry, said the country is losing billions of yuan in international telephone call charges to Internet telephony operators and the ministry intends to "crack down very harshly on these illegal operations of IP telephony." However, he did not close the door entirely on Internet telephony services, saying that the government will license several operators to provide services on a trial basis later this year. The official's comments were aimed at the growing number of operations that have sprung up to resell Internet telephony to consumers rather than individuals using Internet telephony systems from their own home computers. In late January, a court in the city of Fuzhou, Fujian province, found two entrepreneurs did not brake China Telecom's international call monopoly by running an Internet telephone service. The landmark case was brought against the two brothers after they began offering cut-price telephone in competition with that offered by state-run China Telecom. The Internet service calls were less than half the price of those on China Telecom. The two successfully argued that Internet telephony should be considered an Internet and not telephony service and as such is open for competition.

chnmail.com Can someone read chinese. This is about an ISP news today 网际策略：钱、内容与创意是ISP生存3C之道　根据全球网路杂志报导，SeedNet总经理程嘉君表示，台湾ISP 将呈现大者愈大，小者愈小的局面，目前台湾经营ISP有三个「C」是相当重要的，第一个C就是「钱(Capital)」，有钱才能气长，如果没有大笔资金援助，实在没有长期抗战的本钱；第二个C是「内容(Content)」，内容除了需要长期规划外更应经常更新；第三个C则是「创意(Creation)」，这是做任何行销策略都需要的。台湾网站在资金与行销创意上均有相当基础，唯有内容需要加强。例如台湾恩益禧未来将依循日本NEC的模式，提供卡拉OK、职棒比赛转播、网上摄影机(提供最新路况与天气 )等服务，另外也将与外商合作，在网路上进行电脑软体教学。面对大型ISP的强势，NEC 也将做一区隔策略，唯价格较高是其劣势，不过反过来说，也因其以价制量可以达到隔绝网路壅塞之目的，未尝不是一个卖点。
