中国国务院8月17日发布了“宽带中国”战略实施方案，部署未来8年宽带发展目标及路径，意味着“宽带战略”从部门行动上升为国家战略，宽带首次成为国家战略性公共基础设施。

　　China has outlined targets and timetables for broadband development in order to boost information consumption and facilitate economic restructuring. The "Broadband China" strategy aims to expand broadband coverage in both rural and urban areas, with urban and rural household broadband speeds reaching 20 megabytes per second (Mbps) and 4 Mbps respectively by 2020, according to a statement released Saturday by the State Council, China&aposs cabinet.

　　为促进信息消费和经济结构调整，中国已制定宽带发展的目标和时间表。国务院上周六发布的声明称，“宽带中国”战略的目标是让宽带网络全面覆盖城乡，到2020年，城市和农村的宽带接入速度分别达到20 Mbps和4 Mbps。

　　“宽带中国”(Broadband China)战略就是用几年的时间对中国的网速进行“降价提速”(to speed up the network and lower the service fees)。这项工程由工信部(Ministry of Industry and Information Technology)实施，争取国家政策和资金支持，加快推进3G(The 3rd Generation Telecommunication)和光纤宽带(fiber broadband)网络发展，扩大覆盖范围。

　　此次战略的出台，可看作是促进信息消费(information consumption)的配套政策(supporting policies)，也是打造“中国经济升级版”(updated version of the Chinese economy)的重要政策措施，将成为带动消费、拉动投资的利器。

　　信息消费(information consumption)是一种直接或间接以信息产品(information product)和信息服务(information service)为消费对象的消费活动。从全球信息产业(information industry)发展来看，信息消费涵盖生产消费(productive consumption)、生活消费(living consumption)、管理消费(management consumption)等领域，覆盖信息服务，如语音通信(voice communication)、互联网数据及接入服务( online information access services)、信息内容和应用服务(content and application services)、软件等多种服务形态;覆盖手机、平板电脑(tablet)、智能电视(Smart TV)等多种信息产品;还包括基于信息平台的电子商务(e-commerce)、云服务(cloud services)等间接拉动消费的新型信息服务模式。
