Abstract

Against the background of increasingly mature mobile internet eco-system, internet companies have been continuing pursuing the innovation of internet applications. The action has brought about not only more clicks from the netizens but also gave rise to mounting network burden. Telecom service providers are now faced with the dual pressure from both the soaring broadband building and maintenance costs as well as the declining traditional operating revenues.
