Moreover, the price of second-generation mobile phones is now half the cost compared to the earlier models.
However, although cheaper than the earlier models, it's still over ten thousand, and since the initial investment in base stations is too high and incomplete, the current communication fees aren't as cheap as they will be in the future. It's still a bit difficult for most people to afford.
So now, those who can afford second-generation mobile phones are all big bosses, while ordinary people still mainly use pagers. Jiang Mianmian's main research focus now is reducing costs.
She hopes to bring the price of second-generation mobile phones down to a level where ordinary families can afford them within five years, and communication fees too. Only by doing this can the technology be successfully popularized.
Of course, as per Jiang Mianmian's request, her name has still not been disclosed. She wants to quietly finish her university life.
