Question

【题目】If you are not happy with China’s high Internet fees (费用) and slow speed, you are not alone. So is Premier Li Keqiang. On April 14, he said in a meeting that the government should speed up the Internet and lower the fees.

“The first question people ask at a new place is ‘Is there WI-FI’ because Internet service fees are so high,” said Premier Li. According to a recent survey by CCTV, the average cost(平均费用) of 1GB mobile Internet data per month（每月） in China is 100 Yuan, while it is only 60 Yuan in the US and 40 in Japan.

However, high prices don’t necessarily mean good service. The average Internet speed in China was 4.25Mbps（兆比特每秒）in 2014. South Korea had the fastest average Internet speed-25.3 Mbps. People can download a 1 GB movie within 6 minutes in South Koreas, but in China it would take half an hour.

To improve Internet services, the key is to build more fiber(光纤) networks. Through them we can send text, pictures and videos globally（全球地） in less than a second（秒）, which offer high speed Internet. Besides, the lack of （缺少）market competition is another problem. Having more operators（运营商）besides China Unicom and China Telecom may lower the prices.
