The growing natural gas consumption asks for larger scale of pipelines and arouses criticism on separation pipelines business from national oil and gas monopoly companies in China. Through reviewing of Americas regulatory practices on access pricing policy in the gas pipeline industry and summarizing the evolution of access pricing theory on network economics, we conclude some suggestions on the reform process of Chinas pipeline access regulation policy by comparing and contrasting the industrial environments major differences between China and America. We emphasize the importance of executing non-discrimination access price policy in the spirit of Anti-Monopoly Law and indicate that simple separation isnt the most effective way to increase social welfare nowadays. Regulatory agency should prohibit abusing market power and decrease cost information asymmetric in cross-subsidy activity.
To investigate the reason why consumers transfer from one transport network to another one is inconvenient in China while China has invested much in transportation infrastructure and suffer in conflict on its over-investment growth path, we considered the impact of infrastructure operators' rent-seeking activities from asymmetrical information and cadres' rank-order tournaments. We extended the framework of traditional economy growth theory by involving the mechanism between natural monopoly industries' investment and regulation method, and concluded that the transfer barriers and regulatory capture emerges from collude between transport operators and cadres for seeking superiors government' subsidies. The main solution is to minimize the opportunity of hidden cost information by regulatory agency reform and private operators introducing.
Cloud computing is a new model of network application and the development trend of the next generation Internet. Cloud computing integrates computing and storage into the network, so that local applications and client are as simple as a browser with only one support script, to minimize the PC's performance and maximize its function. The way of allocating resources is needed by the integration of teaching resources of universities. Of course, cloud computing also provides strong technical support for modern distance education. As a article about the application of cloud computing into distance education network learning environment, this paper introduces the concept of cloud computing into the integration of teaching resources and explains the laboratory framework built with cloud terminal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
