It is disclosed that the proposed integration of three nets: communication network, Internet, and radio and TV broadcasting network, has officially become a part of the 11th five-year plan.
It is proposed in the plan that efforts shall be made to strengthen the construction of broadband communication infrastructures, digital TV network, and next generation Internet, and to promote the integration of three nets, in an attempt to strengthen the information security system.
