In the respect of organization and management, China Railcom was transferred to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), basic telecom operators exchanged top executives, and their provincial branches traded second-level department managers. In the respect of network building and investment, broadband services remained the focus of development for fixed network operators.
