The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology newly approved the 166／198／199 new number segment and issued the Internet of Things number segment for the first time.

　　People’s Daily Online, Beijing, August 9 (Zhao Chao) According to the information published on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently approved some applications for telecommunication network code number resources put forward by some units, and publicized the results of the 10th batch of "People’s Republic of China (PRC) Telecom Network Code Number Resource Use Certificate" issued in 2017.

　　The announcement shows that the newly approved number segment covers the public mobile communication network number, the dedicated number segment of the Internet of Things business, the Internet of Things network number, and the mobile network identification code. Among them, China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom have all been approved with new numbers, which means that there will be many new numbers in the market in the future.

　　Public mobile communication network numbers: China Telecom No.199 (0-9), China Mobile No.198 (0-9) and China Unicom No.166 (0-9).

　　China Mobile has obtained the No.148 (0-9) segment (dedicated number segment for Internet of Things business) and No.1440 (0-9) segment (Internet of Things network number).

　　In February this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology compiled a new version of the Telecommunications Network Numbering Plan, and the new numbering plan added the Internet of Things network number. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology believes that the development of new telecommunications technologies and services is changing with each passing day, and the demand for telecommunication network numbering resources has changed greatly with the development of the telecommunications industry and social services. In order to better support the development of the industry, it is urgent to revise the current Telecommunication Network Numbering Plan (2010 edition).

　　On May 12th, the Telecommunication Network Numbering Plan (2017 Edition) was published and will be implemented from now on. In the new numbering plan, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has clearly defined "142XX～143XX" as the Internet of Things number. 144XX, 141XX and 140XX are the Internet of Things network numbers of China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom respectively. At the same time, the Internet of Things network numbers of the three major operators will be enabled as needed.

　　As the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology assigns the Internet of Things network number, operators have the basic conditions for launching Internet of Things services on a large scale. This time, the three major operators obtained the number segment of the Internet of Things, which means that the commercial curtain of the Internet of Things officially opened.
