Responding to the growing complaints about the cost
of Internet service in China, the Chinese Government is reportedly considering
a reduction of Internet access charges.
Charges for general users are to be cut with a significant reduction for
institutional users, according to a Beijing Telegraph Bureau source of Xinhua, the government's official news
agency.
Confirming this, the deputy director of the Telecommunications Bureau at the
Ministry of Information Industry, Chang Xiaobin, said that charges would be
less in 1999 but there was no schedule for the reductions.
