Li Zetian said with a smile: "Although the initial investment is large, the benefits are also great! This network is realized by the data switches, network cables and base stations on the ground, and it is basically sufficient. But in the event of large earthquakes, tsunamis and other disasters, these facilities will be And this kind of 'network infrastructure' built in low-Earth orbit has a very far-reaching significance - it can no longer be restricted by terrain and landforms, and can be easily connected no matter where on earth Network, so that the whole earth is truly connected by the network, will also have a huge impact on the informatization of human beings. More importantly, it is separated from the gravity of the earth and can exchange massive data with the earth in space. space exploration could have significant implications."
After a pause, Li Zetian smiled and said: "In the future, these satellites will not only provide network communication services for the earth, but also provide network communication services in space. At that time, the Internet is no longer limited to the earth, and may also be on the moon or Mars in the future. Upvote and block the circle of friends, wow, I feel excited just thinking about it!"
Edgar Carr couldn't help but get excited when he heard the words, and even took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Li, when will the satellite network communication plan be launched?"
"Come on, when Space-X develops small communication satellites and rockets that can be recovered, it will come soon! I tell you this time, I want Sprint to participate in and promote the development of this plan! It is also for Sprint. Think about the future!" Li Zetian said slowly, "Skype VoIP has already appeared, which seems to have caused a great impact on traditional telecommunications companies! I heard that FaceToFace has also transformed into VoIP and video communication software. I believe that in the future, There will be more VoIP companies."
"Sprint's traditional phone billing model will definitely be phased out, and the provision of network communication services is the focus of Sprint's future development!"
When it came to Skype and FaceToFace, Edgar Carr couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Recently, the company's performance has been greatly affected, which is caused by these VoIP software.
Li Zetian then reminded: "Apple's development team is developing a software called FaceTime. Just listening to the name, you may have realized what this is. Yes, FaceTime will be a built-in iPhone smartphone. Video calling software, you can access the Internet through wifi or cellular data, and realize video calls between two devices equipped with FaceTime! In addition, Tencent QQ software will also develop similar functions!"
Just kidding, Skype in the previous life developed rapidly, and finally had 650 million users, which shows that Internet telephony is very popular, and now Zuckerberg's FaceToFace is entering Internet telephony, we have to guard against it!
Although there were many users of Skype in the previous life, Li Zetian didn't really care much. Skype failed to develop into a big company like Tencent, which shows that the founder and team of this company are very problematic. And Zuckerberg is a very powerful genius. It can be seen that Facebook can develop so powerfully in his previous life! Therefore, Li Zetian thinks that FaceToFace is even scarier than Skype! FaceToFace will never simply do Internet telephony, it will definitely combine Internet telephony with social networking sites to create an ecosystem, which is amazing!
The Skype business model is actually very simple. Users only charge when they call from the computer to the phone, and no other charges are charged. This model ultimately greatly curbs the growth of Skype's revenue scale - the larger the number of registered users, the greater the probability that users use Skype at the same time, and both users who use Skype at the same time do not need to pay.
In a previous life, there is a saying in the industry to describe Skype: "The more Skype users and the wider the coverage, the more difficult it is for users to purchase its paid services! (Imagine, everyone uses Skype, who still buys Skype out and Skype in services?"
With the emergence of the iPhone smart phone, Li Zetian is sure to blow up this business model of Skype VoIP! ! !
Both FaceTime or QQ are bound to the mobile phone number. When using QQ to make a call to the other party, it will first check whether the other party's mobile phone number is bound to QQ in the Tencent data center. If it is bound, the other party's mobile phone will pop up a QQ request dialog prompt. In this way, the telecommunications company can be bypassed, and both parties can use QQ chat directly. Using data is naturally much cheaper than calling. If you are at home and your mobile phone is connected to wifi, it is free!
With the current number of QQ users in the hundreds of millions, if this service is opened, Skype and FaceToFace will have no hope of engaging in Internet telephony.
As for FaceTime, which relies on the iPhone, it can also rise rapidly, thereby further squeezing the living space of Skype and FaceToFace.
In fact, QQ has a huge ecosystem, and providing Internet telephony services is actually just one way to increase its stickiness. The Tencent company in the previous life does not seem to have opened this service, but it is still developing very well.
In addition, Tencent also has WeChat, a big killer software. Although WeChat is also a social software, it is different from QQ in terms of product positioning, user groups, usage scenarios, and product functions. QQ and WeChat complement each other, which is an important cornerstone of Tencent's ecosystem and a strong foundation for Tencent to not be afraid of any challenge from competitors.
At present, Tencent's WeChat has not yet been developed. However, Li Zetian plans to hold an internal global Internet conference after the development of the iPhone is completed, so that they can develop mobile terminal software on the iPhone platform. At that time, Li Zetian will hand over the product design of WeChat to Tencent.
"Mr. Li, then Sprint will be miserable. This is tantamount to cutting meat!" At this time, Edgar Carr couldn't help laughing bitterly. Tencent and Apple are going to enter the Internet telephony and video communication, which will definitely affect the world. All telcos, including Sprint, cause a lot of damage!
Li Zetian chuckled: "There is no way, the general trend... Sprint is also my company, and I am also very sad~~ However, there are opportunities in the crisis, Sprint has to adapt to it, but also look for opportunities from it!!!"
"Well, I understand!" Edgar Carr nodded heavily.
Li Zetian then talked about the joint promotion between Galaxy Network and Apple, and asked Sprint to cooperate, and finally left.
At noon, Li Zetian ordered a sumptuous lunch at a high-end restaurant near Sprint, eating with a smile on his face. And the reason why he is so keen to promote satellite communication projects actually has more purposes.
Li Zetian wants to launch a project of seven or eight hundred communication satellites to make a huge publicity and momentum for Space-X's business, which will not only improve Space-X's influence in the industry, but also gain more business volume. In addition, Li Zetian's plan will inevitably lead to the further development of commercial aviation, which in turn will stimulate more satellite manufacturing and launch plans, all of which will benefit Space-X.
After lunch, Li Zetian thought about it and went directly to Apple to personally participate in Apple's design.
The design work that Li Zetian handed over to Apple is modeled after the previous iPhone 4. I don't know if the Antenna Gate incident will repeat the same mistakes.
iPhone is the second mobile phone brand launched by Apple (the first mobile phone brand is ApplePhone), and you must not fail in the first product...
