        If you are unhappy with China's high Internet fees 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 too high, "said Premier Li. According to a recent survey by CCTV, the average cost of 1 GB mobile Internet data per month in China is 100 yuan, while it is only 60 yuan in the US and 40 yuan in Japan. However, high prices don't necessarily mean good service .The average Internet speed in China was 4.25 Mbps(兆比特每秒)in late 2014.North Korea had the fastest average Internet speed—25.3 Mbps .People can download a 1 GB movie within 6 minutes in North Korea, but in China it would take half an hour.

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