What a zombie pile costs
In Fushan, tackling zombie piles has become a delivery promise rather than a slogan. A dark, broken, or idle post looks like coverage but delivers nothing, and it crowds out real capacity that a working neighbor down the street could have used instead all year.
Dynamic clean-out
Regulators push a rolling clean-out of faulty and illegal piles, while unified build-and-serve operators earn positive incentive. The market should let good operators drive out bad ones, because a pile that never works is worse than no pile at all for trust.
Service that stays alive
Removing dead piles is only the start. The harder question is whether the remaining network is maintained, billed clearly, and backed by someone local when it fails. Dongdian Huichong keeps 24/7 monitoring and a local repair radius so a post stays useful after install.
