Financial Post, Tuesay, March 2, 1999 - excerpts from p.C15 ... China lowers Internet Fees amid protests Beijing acts to boost great leap online By James Harding "...halving the charges on data transmission lines and offering free installation of a second telephone line in Chinese homes." "analysts forecast the number of Internet users to multiply from just over two million today to more than 10 million in 2000." "Beijing's decision ... part of a package of price cuts intended to deflect mounting public criticism over high phone rates and low-quality service from China Telecom, the de facto state telecommunications monopoly." "...business groups and academics who see the Internet as an essential tool for the development of China's 'knowledge economy' have protested they cannot afford to pay the government-set rates to get online." Duncan Clarke, a Shanghai-based telecoms analyst, said ... 'Beijing is trying to introduce the results of competition in the telecom industry without introducing the competition." canoe.ca This is their site, although the above article is yesterday's news - I didn't take the time to see if it was posted.
