(China Unicom) appeared as a competitor of China Telecom, and two operators appeared in Chinese mainland Telecom market for the first time.

debate
The account of China Telecom's broadband Internet access includes the function of "Internet Sky One-stop", which can automatically log in. This function is enabled by default, allowing broadband users of China Telecom to log in to the Internet Sky website of China Telecom for consumption by "Easy Press" without a user password and Internet account. Consumable content is all-inclusive, and all fees are charged by the user's fixed line.
However, the launch of this function is controversial, and some people think that this is the opportunity for the telecommunications bureau to charge. Shortly after the launch of this function, many users across the country complained that their phone bills were several hundred yuan more for no reason. It has been verified that many of these users' computers are actually infected with a virus, which can be consumed through the "loophole" of users' broadband without their knowledge. Subsequently, some telecommunications bureaus in some areas returned some of the "overcharged" phone bills, but some telecommunications bureaus still refused to return them. This has caused dissatisfaction among many users.
The Telecommunications Bureau explained that users can apply to the customer service center to disable the "one-stop" function, and the losses caused by the virus should be borne by the users.
