Fixed telephones are common in developed countries, especially public telephone booths. Why are they not common in China?

Fixed telephones, especially public telephones, are common in developed countries, but they are not common in China now. In fact, the communication industry in China has developed rapidly, spanning many stages. In addition, there may be some unsatisfactory reasons leading to this phenomenon.

The withdrawal of public telephones from the historical stage is the inevitable result of the development of science and technology.

First of all, with the popularity of mobile communication, the location of public telephones is too fixed. Relevant data show that at present, the number of mobile phones in China is about 654.38+03 billion, and the market is updated with the annual shipment of nearly 500 million.

The popularity of mobile phones has drastically reduced the telephone traffic of fixed telephones. According to statistics, a public telephone is used about three times a month for about five minutes each time, which shows how low the utilization rate of public telephones is.

Smartphones are widely used.

According to 20 19 online statistics, China ranks first in the world in terms of people's mobile phone share! Nowadays, even aunts who sweep the streets, old people who collect waste products, small vendors and even students who go to school almost all have a smart phone, which is quite convenient for talking. It's better to raise your hand and dial than to spend money on a public phone.

You can also use WeChat video and voice calls, which is quite convenient and low-cost, and you can answer and make calls anytime and anywhere. Therefore, no one will go to the telephone booth to make a public call. When the public telephone is idle, it loses its due function and becomes an occluded decoration.

China's communication technology is in a leading position in the world.

The first article also mentioned 5G technology. At present, only a few countries in the world, such as South Korea's Samsung and China's Huawei, have developed 5G technology. The rapid development of communication technology will inevitably increase the coverage of mobile communication! In China, the usage rate of smart phones reaches 69%, which basically belongs to one mobile phone. Why bother using a landline when the communication signal is good?

The disadvantage of fixed telephone is its fixed location. For example, when not at home, the fixed telephone at home is idle. The same is true of public telephones, which can't go with people, and it is inevitable that they will be eliminated by us.

Domestic payment methods are different from those abroad.

At present, electronic payment has been adopted in most areas of China, but in fact, many foreign countries still use monetary payment or credit card payment, which is quite different from our payment habits.

Many public telephones in western countries are coin-operated, which conforms to the consumption and payment habits of domestic people. In China, basic money is rare in the market, so it is not convenient to take it out. It is better to brush Alipay or WeChat.

The moon in foreign countries is not necessarily rounder than that in China. Although China is still at the level of developed countries, many technologies are at the leading level in the world, such as high-speed rail technology, 5G technology and unmanned aerial vehicle technology.
