These days the mainland always is looking to "jump straight to the head of the queue." For example, the US telephone giant AT & T, starting from copper wires, dominated its market for half a century. But the mainland has skipped right over this stage. In Shanghai, most houses are directly linked to the fiber-optic network, while mobile phones are omnipresent in the city.
大陸講究「一步到位」，舉個例子，美國 AT＆T 的電話事業從銅線起家，主導市場近半世紀，然而大陸卻直接跳過這一段，現在上海大部分家庭不僅用的是到戶的光纖，而且新型手機、IP 卡滿街都是。
