As we all know, on June 6, 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially issued 5G commercial licenses to China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Radio and Television.
On June 27, 2022, China Radio and Television officially released Section 192, confirming the title of "the fourth largest operator".
However, in terms of mobile network communication alone, China Radio and Television is a new player.
In the face of the three major operators with deep roots, two years have passed, and China Radio and Television does not seem to have brought differentiated advantages in the field of mobile communications.

But you must know that what China Radio and Television is best at is actually its own radio and television attributes.
Just recently, China Radio and Television broke a rather explosive news.
That is the 5G NR broadcasting service led by radio and television, which will be officially commercialized next year.
In other words, for the majority of users, they will be able to watch TV without traffic from next year!
In this way, 5G NR broadcasting may become a breakthrough for radio and television to form a differentiated competition with the other three major operators.

As we all know, if we want to watch TV channels online, we first need to download various apps.
For example, CCTV video and audio, Mango TV, Migu video, etc.
Nowadays, there are many such online TV platforms, but the key is that they need to be connected to the Internet to watch normally, and some platforms also need to charge.
If 5G NR broadcasting becomes ubiquitous, users will be able to watch TV programs anytime, anywhere, without any restrictions.
And not only is it free of data, but users can still watch TV programs even if they don't have a SIM card in their phone.

I have to say that this is indeed good news for the majority of users.
Speaking of which, it is estimated that many students still do not understand what 5G NR is.
The so-called 5G NR broadcast is the use of 5G to transmit radio and television signals through radio and television transmission towers and mobile cell base stations.
In other words, 5G NR broadcasting is to use the base station as a "relay station" to send the broadcast signal to the user terminal.
As long as the user's terminal equipment supports 5G, then it can receive the broadcast signal.
As a result, TV programs that were previously only available on TV will now be available on all 5G devices.

It is worth mentioning that 5G NR radio not only supports the SIM mode, but now cross-operator services have been implemented.
That is, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom 5G users can also enjoy the services of China Radio and Television without discrimination.
In addition, in terms of usage, 5G NR does not require any special hardware support.
For example, the existing core network, base station, and mobile phone terminal hardware do not need to be changed on a large scale, and only need to update the driver.
In terms of time, China Radio and Television insiders said that 5G NR broadcasting has begun to deploy equipment and test, and strive to be officially commercialized next year.
It is reported that at present, China Radio and Television is cooperating with equipment providers such as Huawei and ZTE, as well as mobile phone manufacturers, as well as mobile phone chip manufacturers such as HiSilicon and MediaTek.
Once the technical validation and standard development are complete, the 5G NR broadcast will be available to users.

Having said that, young users nowadays are used to watching online content.
How to pull users back to radio and television is a big problem.
But in any case, China Radio and Television provides users with a new choice.
As for whether it will make a splash in the end, let's wait and see!
