Abstract

The development of the Internet in China is a problem left behind by human beings rather than a result of market competition. In view of the huge scale difference between the dominant and vulnerable backbone networks, and for the security consideration of network, the Chinese government prohibits the transit between different networks. Therefore, the restriction of interconnection mode make the small and medium networks have to peer with the dominant network. Because of the lack of interconnection enthusiasm, the quality of Internet interconnection of the dominant backbone network is not effectively guaranteed and the Internet settlement fee is high, which seriously affect the user experience and not good for the development of the Internet industry. In addition, the lack of Internet laws and regulations and insufficient interconnection between Internet networks have seriously damaged the consumer surplus. Therefore, this paper proposes that China should introduce transit on the premise of network security, cut down settlement fees, establish monitoring system of the interconnection quality, strengthen legislation work and adhere to government regulations, which can promote the healthy development of Internet backbone network in China.
