"The investigation team has submitted a report, and I think there should be a result of the application of ST Communications, right?"

The chairman of the Xiangjiang Radio Commission sat down in his place again, knocked on the table, and said: "The full text of the investigation report has been distributed to all members of the committee before, and everyone must have read it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Whether or not to pass the application resolution, I hope that everyone can come to a conclusion after discussion. ”

The number of members seated in the room was smaller than the last meeting, which made the chair of the committee a little dissatisfied.

Institutions such as the Radio Commission, after all, are only quasi-governmental bodies, almost because of a way of "throwing the blame" on the professional field by the government.

When it comes to areas with a strong professional nature, the government must have the support of professionals when formulating policies and decisions for various reasons. Over time, the result was a quasi-governmental organization like the Radio Commission, which had a certain amount of full control.

The members of this committee are not necessarily government workers, but more likely to be academics and industry practitioners. At first, it was only an advisory body, but gradually took over the decision-making risks transferred by the government and mastered some administrative capabilities.

For example, in the approval of radio resources, in addition to the relevant departments of the Hong Kong government to grasp the policy, the committee reviews the radio resources in a professional nature, and bears the risk of the government's decision-making in the professional field.

On the other hand, not all members of the committee are civil servants, and accordingly cannot be controlled by executive order. In addition to this "side job", most of the committee members actually have their own jobs.

It's very easy to find an excuse to avoid a meeting.

There had been a large absence from the meeting, which was a source of concern to the Committee, Mr. Chairman.

However, since the meeting has been convened and the agenda has already been distributed to the members attending the meeting, the chairman cannot be allowed to change the content of the meeting without authorization. What to do, how to do it, actually has results outside of the meeting.

The members of the committee are not so much members as actors standing on the stage.

"Mr. Chairman, members of the Committee, I have taken note of this element in the investigation report. ”

Sure enough, some people began to perform their own part of the drama according to the script: "At present, most of the applications of the system of ST are in some parts of the mainland, and no other country in the world has adopted this system. The user reports issued by ST are written by the official communications management agencies in mainland China. In other words, the reports of these companies are administratively controlled, and given the influence of ST Group in the mainland, I don't think these user reports should be acceptable. ”

"Isn't this a blatant suspicion of official fraud on the mainland?" said the chairman, pretending to be a little worried.

"We're not completely negative about these user reports, but being skeptical is the way we should work, and we can't rule it out. I suggest that while these reports cannot be denied, their effectiveness can be questioned. ”

"Oh, that's fine, let's be suspicious of these reports. Mr. Chairman nodded calmly and forcefully.

"However, in the application submitted by Hutchison Whampoa the year before last, the materials used by Siemens also included user reports from telecommunications companies in the United Kingdom, France and other countries -- telecommunications companies in these countries are also state-owned units, right?"

Hey, it's not in this script!

Mr. Chairman looked at the corner of the conference room with some surprise, Xie Jiayi sat in the inconspicuous corner of the conference room, and there were very few speeches in the previous meetings, what happened today?

Xie Jiayi himself is the technical consultant of the Xiangjiang branch of Siemens, and the main stakeholders in Xiangjiang are the major telecommunications companies. In the past, in line with the principle that no one should be offended, he spoke very carefully. However, she openly dug into the corner of her own customer at the meeting today, is the sun coming out of the west?

"Well, Britain and France and other countries have relatively sound systems, and this kind of administrative intervention should be unlikely to happen......

Mr. President coughed twice and quickly turned the page: "In short, you can understand this part of the Chinese user report. Now let's move on to the content of the investigation report, who has any questions?"

The performance continued, and Mr. President silently praised his wit.

"Mr. Chairman, members, I also have a question. ”

Then someone else came forward: "We will not talk about the impolite treatment that Commissioner Madelen received during the investigation, and in the spirit of being responsible to the citizens of Hong Kong, he proposed to review the source code of the SPT paging service system, but the ST Group vetoed his reasonable request." ST Group's system itself lacks effective user verification, and reviewing the source code is necessary to ensure the stability of its work, but ST Group has rejected such a request, and I think it can only be said that they are not sincere about the investigation at all. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a word. A person next to him who looked indignant said: "I think it is still necessary to say what happened to Commissioner Medrun on the mainland, and if the service attitude of mainland enterprises is at this level, is it difficult for such enterprises to come to our Xiangjiang with the same attitude towards our consumers? I think we should think twice about issuing radio licenses to such enterprises." ”

"Alright, alright, service issues are not under the jurisdiction of our Radio Commission. The chairman waved his hand: "It is not surprising that mainland enterprises lag behind the world level in terms of services, and we still have to understand more." ”

Well, on the surface, this Mr. Chairman is excusing the service of Xinke, but in fact, he is backhanding the hat of poor service - it is really a vivid demonstration of what is called a black belly.

Although he said that services do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Radio Commission, it is confirmed that ST Group is a consumer bullying company, and it is difficult for other members to have no worries when voting?

"ST Group's veto of the request to review the source code is a real concern. If we can't review the source code, how do we know if there are any serious flaws in the system, or if ST Communications poses a threat to the privacy of our customers?"

"Judging from the mainland's privacy policy, I think this concern is very necessary. ”

"Well, that's really a problem!" Mr. Chairman frowned, as if he was very worried about this: "With the situation in the mainland, we can't help but worry about the privacy of Hong Kong citizens. ”

"In that case, I think it is necessary to raise doubts about ST's report and ask them to cooperate with the deliberations. ”

"However, the source code should be a trade secret of the enterprise, right?" Xie Jiayi's voice sounded again: "In Hutchison Whampoa's application the year before last, the system source code of Siemens was not disclosed, right?

As soon as Xie Jiayi's words fell, the entire conference room suddenly fell silent.

Mr. Chairman wanted to smash the table on the spot and kick her out, I said Miss Xie Jiayi, don't you know how the little boy died in "The King's New Clothes"?

On this kind of occasion where everyone pretends to be blind, how can you continue to play this scene when you suddenly expose it!

"Ahem, Ms. Xie, don't always dwell on the details!" Mr. Chairman said with annoyance: "Siemens does not need open source code, because its products have been tested by the market, and there are many examples to prove that its system is reliable." However, ST lacks market certification for its system, and it is understandable that Madelen is asking for this. It can even be said that as long as it passes our review, it will be very beneficial for ST to develop markets in other regions, which is completely a multiplicity!"

Mr. Chairman took a sip of water and continued: "The problem is that ST Group, as a mainland company, lacks trust in its products in the world market. There is absolutely no market competition in the mainland's telecommunications industry, so how can we guarantee the reliability of our products and the credibility of their reports in such an environment? We are all aware of the role of the market system, and I believe that we should maintain a cautious and skeptical attitude towards any enterprise born under the lack of competition system on the mainland, because this is the attitude of being responsible for radio resources and the citizens of Hong Kong......

"Well, that's all for the time being. ”

After Mr. President finished his speech, for fear that Xie Jiayi would make another unpleasant statement, he quickly ended the discussion and exercised his power to start voting.

"Now let's move on to the next agenda of the meeting, which is to vote on the radio resource request submitted by ST. I should be grateful if those members who agreed to adopt this vote should raise their hands and request the Secretary-General to take notes. ”

After he finished speaking, Xie Jiayi, who was sitting in the corner, was the first to raise his hand. Then two or three more people raised their hands, and then there was silence in the room.

After waiting for a minute, the chairman nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the number of people who agree to approve the application is four, namely Xie Jiayi, Gao Fengqin, Acesulfame and Su Yilun. ”

When the four men lowered their hands, the chairman of the committee continued: "Now I would like to ask those members who disagree with this vote to raise their hands." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the committee members below had already begun to raise their hands. Moments later, the conference room became a forest of arms.

With the exception of the four members who had preceded them, everyone else raised their hands, including Mr. Chairman himself.

"Okay, let's count the numbers. There were a total of 23 members who vetoed them, namely......"

When Mr. Chairman named the members who raised their hands one by one, he proudly announced: "After the vote of the Radio Committee, I now declare that the application for radio resources of Xinke Heung Kong Communications Company has not been approved. In accordance with the powers conferred on the Committee by the Hong Kong Government, I hereby declare that the resolution rejects Application No. 890608!"
