Guangdong Prices the Public-Data Operator Like a Utility: Inside the Province's Authorized-Operation Price-Management Measures
On 12 May 2026 the Guangdong DRC and the Guangdong Administration of Government Services and Data issued the Guangdong Province Public Data Resource Authorized-Operation Price Management Measures — one of the first provincial implementations of the national NDRC/NDA price-formation notice (发改价格〔2025〕65号). The 20-article rule prices the 'public-data operation service fee' (公共数据运营服务费) with a regulated-utility toolkit: government-guided pricing, a maximum permitted revenue equal to operating cost + permitted profit + tax, and a permitted profit rate capped at the prior-year 10-year treasury yield plus no more than 6 percentage points. DCC reads the full text (carried by 数据行者X) against the Guangdong DRC's official interpretation (carried by 砖济咨询) to draw out what overseas counsel needs: this is cost-of-service, rate-of-return regulation imported into the data-element market, with periodic resets every three years, a ±10% annual adjustment band, mandatory cost separation, and a carve-out keeping public-governance and public-welfare data 'conditionally free.'
