The word "communication industry" is believed to be familiar to everyone. We often talk about it, and we often see it in the news media. As the name implies, "communications industry" is related to communications industry, is not difficult to understand.

But in fact, most people outside the industry know very little about communications and the communications industry. Even the communication major college students who have studied communication knowledge for n years are puzzled when they face the communication industry when they graduate.

There are still many people who believe that companies like Huawei sell mobile phones, and China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom sell mobile phone cards and install broadband. And we these so-called "communication engineers", is the film, brush, repair computer, broadband.

It can be said that the outside world is full of deep misunderstandings about our industry.

The communications industry, in short, is an industry that provides communications products and services around user communications needs.

A few decades ago, the communications industry was a very high industry, because technology as the core, can be regarded as the representative of high-tech, so the threshold is very high. "High-end" communication services such as telegraph and telephone are not affordable for ordinary people. Even in the 1990 s, the installation of telephones was a test of economic strength for ordinary families.

At that time, the communications industry was relatively closed and self-contained, with only a few enterprises and institutions involved. It's not easy for people outside to get in. If you can engage in the communications industry, it is bound to attract envious eyes.

However, with the development of science and technology and the progress of society, communication technology has become more and more mature, thus stepped down from the altar. Engaged in communication product research and development, production and sales of the threshold is getting lower and lower, to join the communications industry enterprises, also more and more.

Openness and competition have completely changed the profiteering situation of the industry, and communication products with substantial price cuts have also been rapidly popularized, entering everyone's lives and changing everyone's lives.

What is even more unimaginable is that with the rise of the Internet and the popularity of personal PCs, information technology (also known as IT) has surpassed communication technology step by step and has become a new target of pursuit.

Nowadays, although information technology and communication technology are nominally called ICT industry (IT CT), in fact, everyone knows that the position of the communication industry is not as good as before and is squeezed by more powerful IT. Moreover, this trend of squeezing and even annexation is becoming more and more obvious.
