Guizhou big data industry to serve the public

The Guizhou provincial government issued a plan to speed up the development of the big data industry on Tuesday, in an effort to build up "seven clouding projects" serving governments, the public and companies.

The "seven clouding projects" include e-government systems, intelligent transportation, logistics, tourism, industrial cloud computation, e-commerce and food security, which will improve the efficiency of government departments and make residents' life more convenient by building an intelligent platform for sharing information.

The project will provide cloud computing services for the national defense, equipment manufacturing, light and food industries to reduce development costs.

According to the plan, a big data application development model will take shape in 2015.

It is expected that the big data industry could drive 450 billion yuan of related industries and increase job opportunities for 200,000 people by 2020.

Moreover, by implementing the "Broadband Guizhou" plan, networks with broadband will be able to reach 50 Mbps in cities by 2020.
