Shangyun Village, Shangyun Township, Autonomous County, has covered 4G networks. The elders have also used smartphones. Video chatting with their families is nothing new.
During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, my country's telecommunications universal service has been intensified, supporting the construction of 130,000 administrative villages in rural and border areas through optical fiber and more than 50,000 4G base stations.

"In the past, it cost a few hundred yuan for broadband alone; now the package only costs 78 yuan a month, and the family's mobile phone package and home broadband are included." Dao Yafen said.
During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, my country cancelled domestic long-distance roaming charges and data roaming charges for mobile phones, introduced measures such as "traffic is not cleared for the month", "speed is increased without price increase" and other measures, and the largest tariff concessions are given to poor households with registered cards .
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country's average tariffs for fixed broadband and mobile phone traffic both dropped by more than 95%.
The reduction in tariffs has promoted network popularization and application promotion.
