Regulation Related to Value-added Telecommunications Services
Among all of the applicable laws and regulations, the PRC Telecommunications Regulations, or the Telecom Regulations, promulgated by the PRC State Council on September 25, 2000 and most recently amended on February 6, 2016, is the primary governing law, and sets out the general framework for the provision of telecommunications services by domestic PRC companies. Under the Telecom Regulations, telecommunications service providers are required to procure operating licenses prior to their commencement of operations. The Telecom Regulations distinguish basic telecommunications services from value-added telecommunications services, or VATs. VATs are defined as telecommunications and information services provided through public networks. A telecom catalog was issued as an attachment to the Telecom Regulations to categorize telecommunications services as either basic or value-added, which was most recently updated in June 2019. Internet information services, or ICP services, are classified as VATs according to the telecom catalog.
The Administrative Measures on Telecommunications Business Operating Licenses promulgated by the MIIT in 2009 and most recently amended in July 2017, sets forth more specific provisions regarding the types of licenses required to operate VATs, the qualifications and procedures for obtaining such licenses and the administration and supervision of such licenses. In addition, pursuant to the Administrative Measures on Internet Information Services promulgated by the State Council in 2000 and most recently amended in 2024, internet information services refer to the provision of information through the internet to online users, and are divided into commercial internet information services and non-commercial internet information services. A provider of commercial internet information service must obtain the ICP License for internet information service. If the operator provides internet information on a non-commercial basis, it only needs to file the relevant information with the provincial Communication Administration. Anyone that intends to be engaged in ICP services shall be approved by competent authorities and obtain a Value-added Telecommunications Business Operating Permit. An operator who failed in obtaining relevant operating permits will face correction orders, warnings, fines, confiscation of illegal gains, and in case of severe circumstances, be ordered to suspend business for rectification.
According to the Provisions on the Administration of Mobile Internet Applications Information Services promulgated by the CAC, effective from August 1, 2016, and most recently amended on June 14, 2022, the CAC is in charge of the law enforcement of supervision and administration of the
