Chapter 97 The Dilemma of Yota Communications

In San Antonio, Texas, Eva left the AT&T location disappointedly. As soon as she got into the car, she ordered the driver to drive the car to the airport. He was unwilling to stay in this desert-filled state.

This time, Eva came to AT&T to visit the senior executives here in order to promote Yota Communication's second-generation mobile communication technology. Just a few months ago, Eva once again rejected the invitation to invest in AT&T, which cast a shadow on the cooperation between the two companies.

Yota Communications seems to be incredible, but in fact, some crises have been vaguely exposed. Although Yota Communications' second-generation mobile communication technology is unique in the world and can provide high-quality voice and data transmission services worldwide, its cost is too high. There are very few operators in the world who are willing to use such expensive infrastructure. So far, only Japanese operators have signed contracts. On the other hand, Yota Communications' old friend AT&T was in the rise. The generation of technology they used cost tens of billions of dollars, and it is almost impossible to use newer technology in the short term. Of course, if Yota Communications becomes the daughter of AT&T, it will be a different matter.

It is not just Yota Communications' mobile communications business that was hit, but Yota Communications' network solutions were also threatened by its competitor Cisco. Originally, in this battle, Yota Communications first gained technical advantages and the support of AT&T, and was firmly on Diaoyutai. However, due to investment, Eva and AT&T's cooperation in network technology has also progressed poorly. Now it is said that Cisco's senior management has arrived in San Antonio. The tricks are naturally self-evident.

In fact, ATT has always hoped to be able to join Yota Communications' board of directors, but Yota Communications has too many secrets that cannot be told, so although ATTT is very sincere, Eva never lets go. In fact, Eva cannot agree to this kind of cooperation with one plus one than two.

On the way to the airport, the disheartened Eva took out her satellite phone and habitually dialed Selyosci's number. She wanted to have a good talk with Selyosci and exclaim her unhappiness. The phone was connected before she waited for a long time, and Selyosci's voice soon came from there.

"Seryosha, it seems impossible for us to cooperate with AT&T. They proposed that we would never purchase our second-generation mobile communication solutions unless we invest in Yota Communications." Eva sighed on this side of the phone.

"Hey, that's a pity. We just lack such powerful partners! But Eva, it doesn't matter. I plan to take down the British communications operators in a few days. We can first build a European demonstration project for the second generation of mobile communications in the UK." Seryosha comforted.

"That's not all our own companies, so it's not interesting to do this!" Eva did not intend to ask Seriosha to spend a lot of money to promote her Yota communications, because this really doesn't have any sense of accomplishment.

"But Eva, I think we can change our thinking. It's too troublesome to communicate with mobile communication networks in countries like this now! I think we can build a mobile communication network ourselves and throw AT&T aside?" Sheryosha asked thoughtfully.

"Seryosha, you know that's an infrastructure investment. Not to mention the funding issue, dinosaurs may need nearly tens of billions of investment in North America alone. Before the entire network is established, our service will definitely not be able to compete with AT&T because we cannot provide nationwide communication services. In addition, there is access to international telecommunications. All of this requires huge investment as support. You know, no one in the United States or even the world is a rival to AT&T!" Eva opposed without thinking. He didn't want Seryosha to let money go to waste in vain in order to make himself happy.

"Isn't anyone really a rival to AT&T? What are we talking on now?" Shelian Sha suddenly asked back.

"Satellite phone...Seryosha, I don't understand what you mean. Do you want to buy the International Maritime Satellite Organization? This is a non-profit organization, and they cannot accept our acquisition!" Eva reminded me of the satellite phone service operator NMAR-SAT, the International Maritime Satellite Organization. This company uses GEO (Earth Banned Orbit Satellite) to provide global call services, but their services are too expensive. Not only does the call cost reach as high as US$3-7 per minute, but the most important thing is that the terminal satellite phone terminals of satellite communications are too expensive, basically ranging from 3,000 to tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, the private users of satellite phones have always been very few or more wealthy, while most of the users come from shipping companies for sea communications. But this is not a company, but an international organization. They have made a lot of money and are not short of funds, and it is impossible to allow private acquisitions.

"Eva, I mean since we can't compete with AT&T on the ground, we'll move the battlefield to space! Just like President Reagan's Star Wars! How do you think we run a global satellite communications network?" Seriosha explained like Eva.

"How much money does this cost? Is it technically feasible?" Eva was frightened by Seryosha's plan. He never thought he could play like this.
