This package actually costs 68+12HKD=63.98RMB

First of all, there are 5 mobile operators in Hong Kong, basically using the same system, supporting number portability, network transfer is very convenient, no operator is in a monopoly market position, so they can check and balance each other. The mainland is 3, and the system is different, most provinces do not support number portability, the cost of network transfer is high, and they have an absolute advantage in their respective advantageous areas and fields. As a result, there is much greater price competition pressure among operators in Hong Kong than in Chinese mainland.

Second, Hong Kong is densely populated and does not need to build a network for a large number of low-density population areas, making the construction and operating costs lower than those in the mainland.

Although China Mobile is a giant on the mainland side, its two subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Pakistan were acquired by acquiring local operators that are not doing well, so it is inevitable to adopt an aggressive price strategy in the market.

In addition, there are still a lot of requirements for this package

The first is to limit the speed to 384kbps, which is the rate standard when the 3G standard was formulated in 1999, let's just say 3G, and the mobile 2.75G EDGE peak is a horizontal line, but also sealed P2P, the limit can only be used by mobile phones, and the maximum speed of TDSCDMA of mainland mobile can reach 2.8Mbps. Therefore, if most people use it normally, it will only be more than 300M traffic a month, and it is still local traffic.

Hong Kong's calls are billed in both directions, and 1700 minutes are used for dialing and answering, which is equivalent to 850 minutes of local voice + local answering in China for free. And it's just a local package, calling anywhere outside is considered an international call, and if you call Chinese mainland, even if you call Shenzhen on the other side of the river, it will cost more than 1 yuan per minute (of course, there are other ways to save money, and few people will broadcast live).

As for the exaggerated 10,000 text messages, they are limited to the network, i.e. between CMHK users. As mentioned earlier, China Mobile Hong Kong's market share is quite small in the local area, and it has little practical significance. And because of the storage of number portability, it is impossible to distinguish the operator in Hong Kong, and if it is accidentally sent outside the network, it will be priced at 0.6 yuan per piece.

If you want to compare the alignment on the mainland, you need to find a package with more local voice + more local traffic to compare. Taking into account factors such as the range of calls and the speed of Internet access, the 58 yuan local business travel package in the previous connection will be about the same after upgrading to 88 yuan 450 minutes of local voice plus an additional 40 yuan 400M national traffic package. Considering that at present, all parts of the mobile are frantically giving away local traffic, for example, Beijing Mobile's 4G128 business travel package is 650 minutes in China, and 30 nationwide +570M local traffic. Considering the almost 1:1 gift ratio at the end of the year-end recharge of Beijing Global Pass (I don't know how much of the discount is for recharge in Hong Kong). The tariff in China is not much higher than that in Hong Kong.

Don't complain about Hong Kong's 54 yuan package anymore, in addition to covering the city, operators in the mainland also have the obligation to cover the suburbs, Mount Everest and even the sea, the city does make money, and the remote areas are losing money to make money, and Hong Kong is a small place, almost every base station is making money. It is normal for the cost to be different, and the quotation is different.

If it is really quoted according to the cost, it should be calculated according to the population density, the big city can be a few cents a minute, the small city is the same as now, the suburbs or sparsely populated areas, a few dollars per minute is comparable to going abroad, are you willing?

If such a fee is implemented according to population density, it is estimated that many places will not have a signal to pay money in the future, because the cost cannot be recovered.

The reason why PHS is cheap is because it only serves big cities, and anyone can do such a network, but the state does not allow a network that only covers the city and not the suburbs, because it is not fair. The Hong Kong package is equivalent to making a network within the third ring road in Beijing, which has a high population density, so you can make a cheap network with low fees. Out of the third ring outside the high price. Any city can do this and make a small net, and then the high-cost areas with few people will completely give up, and the people in the circle will make enough money.

This is like the relationship between the postal service and other courier companies, the postal service is a full-coverage network, and other couriers only do money-making cities, and the remote ones will give up. If the postal service is not dry, counting on the express company, which year can cover such an address as a certain township and a certain village? Everyone rushes to do it in the city where they make money, and if they give up all the suburbs and villages, many people lose touch with the world, and the more backward the place, the more hopeless it is.

Many people don't have a backache when they stand and talk, and among all the monopoly industries in China, is there anything more competitive than the communications industry?

===Split Line===

It's just a city of 6 million people. I have two mobile ones in my house, one is Unicom, and one is a mobile Unicom dual-machine, if the SMS fee with Unicom is 6 cents, and the call and SMS tariffs in the province and China are so much higher than in the city, I don't do it!

China Mobile's pricing takes into account the maintenance and operating costs of the network nationwide, including the vast and sparsely populated mountainous areas, pastoral areas, and maritime frontiers; The Hong Kong package only takes into account the network maintenance cost of a big fart place in Hong Kong, and this city and this network are not at this price. In the mainland, the tariff of the group network is also very cheap. And the SMS nationwide is 1 cent, China Mobile out of Hong Kong is roaming charges, not in this package, or SMS with other operators is 6 cents each! Bind a credit card, if you exceed the fee, it will not be shut down in arrears like the mainland, hehe, this is actually very ruthless.

Hearsay, the Hong Kong package is a 3G network, Hong Kong has entered the 4G era, the package is an obsolete product, and the actual use of the package is not only so much, but also to pay 30 yuan in taxes. This is a merchant promotion.

You can't say that there is a place on the earth where a certain commodity sells at a low price, and just ask all the products on the earth to sell at that price, right? This is market behavior.

You can't shout that it's unfair because of a promotion in one place and one place.

Hong Kong's beef noodles sell for 40 yuan a bowl, much higher than in China, is Hong Kong people going to smash the beef noodle restaurant?

It's about the whole and the environment, not the individual cases
