A new super network that can provide Internet, TV and phone services through a single network has been announced in China.

The Ministry of Science and Technology has signed an agreement with the SARFT (State Administration of Radio, Film and Television) in China and announced to the world that it will begin building the first high capacity optic fiber network throughout the country putting Internet, TV and phone services through a single network.

The stats of the new network are a bandwidth of 1000 Gbits, comparing to the existing one of 1 Gbits. Allowing each user in the network to have a 100 Mbit per second access to the Internet than the existing 1 Mbit access.

A regional network has been built in the Yangtze River Delta and put on a trial run for one year since December, 2006, covering about 30,000 users.

“The lab tests and trial run showed the network and related softwares were stable enough for commercial operation,” said a ministry official.

However the nationwide program is still at an early stage. The agreement did not mention the timetable of construction or any cost details.

“Although the new network has a high capacity, whether it is able to provide a package service will depend on telecom companies,” the official said.
