Looking back on the Twelfth Five-Year Plan： How many changes has ＂internet plus＂ brought to life？

　　Five years ago, Nokia’s market share in a single quarter exceeded 40%, setting a new record. Apple 4S has not been released yet. Want to watch movies on the mobile network? You will be regarded as a madman … Nowadays, Nokia has been acquired by Microsoft, Apple has come out in 6S, and a brother named PLUS has been added. Watching movies on the mobile network has become a reality, and perhaps watching 100 movies in a month on the 4G network can also be a means to show off wealth.

　　All these changes have happened quietly in the past five years. Recently, the new word "internet plus" has appeared frequently in the public eye. You may not know the meaning of this word, but you can find its shadow in your life. It is changing our lifestyle and work habits, making our life more and more convenient, and many industries have generated endless magic because of it.

　　Broadband speed-up and price-reduction users are increasing day by day.

　　"internet plus" is inseparable from the support of the Internet. For this reason, the State Council has repeatedly urged all localities to reduce network fees and increase network speed. Since 2013, the three major operators of China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom have launched services to reduce Internet access charges and improve Internet access speed. In the past, we might have to wait a few hours to download a 2G movie. Now, it can be done in a few minutes at the earliest.

　　Xiao Yang is a game lover. In the past, downloading games and movies at night was once his "daily life", which was both electricity-consuming and noisy. "The aging computer chassis fan often made noise decibels like when a motorcycle started." Nowadays, the download speed in fttp has increased by leaps and bounds. "Now eat a meal and take a bath, the movie will be ready, and the computer will become docile because it doesn’t have to stay up late to work overtime." Xiao Yang told reporters.

　　According to the economic operation of the communication industry in September 2015 published on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the total number of broadband users with access rate of 8Mbps and above exceeded 128 million, accounting for 60.6% of the total number of broadband users. The total number of FTTH/0 users with optical fiber access reached 102 million, accounting for 48.3% of the total broadband users.

　　Optical fiber network enters rural farmers and turns into e-commerce talents.

　　Li Shun, a villager from Huangxing New Village, Changsha County, Changsha City, is sitting in front of a computer screen and banging on the keyboard. At present, the full coverage of optical fiber network is being implemented in rural areas. When the Internet entered the countryside, many farmers became large e-commerce companies.

　　"There are too many Taobao buyers consulted, and the business is particularly good this year." Li Shun said cheerfully.

　　Soon-jae Lee opened an online store in 2013 to sell its own farm products.

　　"In the past, dial-up Internet access was used in rural areas, and the network speed was not strong. Upload more pictures and get stuck. Sometimes, if you don’t reply to the buyer in time, you blow a business. " Li Shun revealed.

　　In March this year, the telecom staff took the initiative to provide on-site service to upgrade the optical fiber network for the villagers in Huangxing New Village free of charge. Li Shunjia’s internet speed has increased to 50M, but the monthly fee has not changed.

　　"After the network speed has been greatly improved, the online shop page has been updated, the pictures are clearer, and the services such as consultation and payment are very smooth, and the business will no longer be affected by the network speed." Li Shun introduced that there were more than 300 orders a day this year, and more than 30,000 zongzi were sold on the Dragon Boat Festival. In the first half of the year, Li Shun’s sales reached 2 million yuan.

　　Online shopping drives the express delivery industry anytime and anywhere.

　　Now, shopping through the Internet is nothing new. Everything from clothes and home appliances to cars and houses can be bought easily and quickly through the Internet. With the upgrade of mobile Internet speed, the way of online shopping has also changed. With the emergence of 3G and 4G mobile phones in recent years, many online shoppers have fallen in love with "mobile shopping". Whether watching TV at home or on the bus to and from work, they use their mobile phones to select goods online as long as they have spare time.

　　The popularity of online shopping has also driven the development of express delivery industry. The courier brother who shuttles through the streets has become a landscape in this city. According to Ma Junsheng, director of the State Post Bureau, China’s express delivery industry is developing rapidly. In 2015, the total express delivery business is expected to reach 20 billion pieces, an increase of eight times compared with the initial period of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan. The scale of express delivery continues to expand, the service level continues to improve, and the number of enterprises has also increased significantly.

　　It’s no trouble to eat, live and travel. A mobile phone is all fun.

　　"internet plus" is deeply rooted in catering, travel, accommodation, movies and other life service industries. A smart phone can do everything for you. In the past, when we opened a restaurant, we only needed to open the door to welcome guests, and consumers would come to eat. Now, even if you are open 24 hours a day, you may not have many customers. Ordering apps such as Hungry, Baidu Takeaway, and Home Food Party have mushroomed.

　　A few years ago, when you went to the cinema, scalpers often sold you movie tickets. Now the scalpers in the cinema have disappeared and there are many ticket machines. People buy tickets through the internet, and then go to the ticket machine in the cinema to get tickets directly, which is not only cheap, but also saves a lot of trouble in queuing to buy tickets. The scalper was forced to change careers. Maybe it was him who sold popcorn at the entrance of the cinema.
