When was Tietong founded and what is its main business

In 2004, the company was renamed and rebranded after being handed over by the Ministry of Railways to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, forming a new leadership team, and China Tietong was shown to consumers with a new image. However, due to the short establishment time of Tietong and the fact that it has just been spun off from the Ministry of Railways, the corporate brand awareness of China Tietong is relatively low in the communication market.

The corporate brand plays the leading role of the entire brand system, followed by the business brand and user brand. Under this system, Tietong has launched business brands such as "prepaid fixed ** business", "IP through train", "96403 dial", "home e-home" and other business brands, as well as user brands such as "Korea Card", "17995 City Pass", "197200 Beijing Friendship Card" and "Tianjiao Surf Card". It can be seen that some business brands have distinct personalities and have a strong affinity with consumers.

However, some user brands overlap and are not clearly positioned. A service brand can include multiple services, and can be divided into multiple user brands according to different user groups, and a user brand may also include multiple services, and operators should adjust the brand system at any time with the promotion of services and the launch of new services.
