For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.

问答题

(本小题8分。)VoIP是一种利用区域或互联网进行交换话音信号的技术服务,在专用的电话上可以采用IP网络,以VoIP模式进行通话, 是一种较便宜的跨地区电话联系方式,适用于个人、家庭或商业机构用户。支持这技术服务的首要条件就是一个稳定的网络环境和宽带网络,在发达国家A国(其使 用货币为“索拉”)已经蓬勃发展多年, VoIP已被A国的大多数人、家庭和商业机构普遍采用。A国市场上现有三家提供有关服务的营运商。正通电视是其中一家电视营运商,在A国使用其VoIP技 术及设备服务的用户群组包括个人、家庭用户和设于A国的大型商业机构(主要是跨国企业)。在2011年,VoIP个人、家庭用户超过2000万户,市场份 额达62%,而商业企业的大型商业机构更达120万家,市场份额达68%。  正通电视针对全国不同地区不同用途的用户推出了14种套餐,但收费模式均以包月方式计算。例如,针对个人、家庭新用户使用综合计划(即包括宽带 上网+VoIP+电视)的包月费用为400索拉,同一计划的现有宽带客户包月为330索拉。对于商业用途的客户就只有宽带和VoIP服务,且收费相对高。 正通电视最大的优势就是用户能够在一家服务供应商获得视频、数据和话音服务。这不仅方便消费者,也减少了用户流失率。  正通电视管理层正考虑进一步开拓海外市场。业务发展部总监黄羽建议可以与B国当地的电信营运商合作,设立联营公司以方便打进B国市场,开发VoIP的语音业务,同时并以本地模式运作。  而在B国的最大电讯营运商优越电信也正计划开发VoIP这种技术服务及相关设备,在国内开展商机。优越电信现时的核心业务是以提供宽带和流动电话服务为主。  要求:

简要说明正通电视在A国VoIP技术及设备服务所实施收费策略的类别、原理及使用条件。(3分)
