Dr. Tiger Lin, CEO of CITIC Telecom is on People’s Daily Online
Dr. Tiger Lin, CEO of CITIC Telecom was interviewed by the People’s Daily Online in the MWC Shanghai to talk about the Group’s development plan in the ‘Belt and Road’ regions and outlook of 5G technology.
About ‘Belt and Road’ region
‘CITIC’s logo represents an opened door. In the past we helped MNCs to enter China, now we help China enterprises to enter the world.’
‘If an enterprise wants to invest in the “Belt and Road” region, firstly it has to get capital and communication service. Through the acquisition of Linx and Acclivis, we have established an unique edge in the “Belt” and “Road” regions respectively, which enables us to provide one-stop end-to-end ICT services to MNCs, connecting them to the world.’
‘For individual consumer, we are offering “Datamall” to them as a data plan without roaming fee during travel. Now the service is covering popular destinations including Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Korea. And we will keep exploring new destinations along the ‘Belt and Road’ region, bringing more convenience for consumer.’
About 5G
‘In the past, we did’t know the real time status of a tree or an organ. In the 5G era, all these unknowns will be connected to the network and become knowns.’
‘In the 5G era, the “connection among people” will become the “connection among things”. This will be a big leap and a revolution of human cognition, bringing huge changes to our lives.’
‘4G changed internet to mobile internet. And 5G changes impossible to possible, unknown to known.’
About MWC Shanghai
‘MWC Barcelona is the world’s top mobile exhibition. But I think the scale and level of this MWC Shanghai is totally comparable to MWC Barcelona. I believe the leading position of internet and mobile communication development is moving back to China from Europe.’
