Chapter 483 Blast!
Li Zetian smiled and said: "Although the early investment is large, the benefits are also great! This network is realized by ground data exchanges, network cables and base stations, which is basically enough. However, when encountering large earthquakes, tsunamis and other disasters, these facilities will be destroyed. This kind of "network infrastructure" construction built in low-Earth orbit has a very profound significance. It can no longer be restricted by terrain and landforms. No matter where it is on the earth, it can easily connect the network, so that the entire earth can be truly connected with the network, and will have a huge impact on human informatization. More importantly, it is separated from gravity and can exchange massive data with the earth within the space range, which may have important significance for future space exploration."
After a pause, Li Zetian smiled and said, "In the future, these satellites will not only provide network communication services to the earth, but also provide network communication services in space. At that time, the Internet was no longer limited to the earth. In the future, it may also like and block the circle of friends on the moon or Mars. Wow, I feel excited to think about it!"
Edgar Carl couldn't help but get excited when he heard this, and even asked: "MR·li, when will the satellite network communication plan be launched?"
"It's almost done. I think it's too soon when Spae-X develops small communication satellites and rockets that can be recycled! I told you this time that I want to let Sprint participate in it and promote the development of this plan! At the same time, I'm also thinking about the future of Sprint!" Li Zetian said slowly, "The skype internet phone has appeared at present, which has caused a great impact on traditional telecommunications companies! I heard that faetofae has also transformed into internet phone and video communication software. I believe that more internet phone companies will appear in the future."
"Sprint's traditional phone bill model will definitely be gradually eliminated, and providing network communication services is the focus of the future development of Sprint!"
When talking about skype and faetofae, Edgar Carl couldn't help but tremble. The company's performance has been greatly affected recently, and it was caused by these Internet phone software.
Li Zetian then reminded: "Apple's development team is developing a software called faetime. Just by listening to the name, you may have realized what this is. That's right, faetime will be a video calling software built into iPhone smartphones. It can be connected to the Internet through IFI or cellular data to realize video calling between two devices equipped with faetime! In addition, Tencent QQ software will also develop similar functions!"
Just kidding, skype in his previous life has developed rapidly and finally has 650 million users, which shows that Internet phones are very popular. In addition, Zuckerberg's faetofae has entered Internet phones now, so we have to be careful!
Although there are many users of skype in the previous life, Li Zetian actually didn't care much. Skype failed to develop into a big company like Tencent, which means that the founder and team of this company are very problematic. Zuckerberg is a very powerful genius. He was able to develop faebooks so powerful in his previous life, which shows that Li Zetian felt that faetofae is even more terrifying than skype! Faetofae will never simply make internet phones, and will definitely combine internet phones with social networking sites to form an ecological system. This is very amazing!
The skype business model is actually very simple. Users only charge when they make a call from the computer, and no other charges. This model ultimately greatly curbs the growth of skype revenue scale. The larger the registered user scale, the greater the chance of using skype between users at the same time. Both users who use skype at the same time do not need to pay.
There was a saying in the industry in the past life that described skype like this: "The more skype users and the wider the coverage, the less it is for users to buy their paid services! (Imagine that everyone uses skype, who also buys skypeout and skypein services?"
With the emergence of iPhone smartphones, Li Zetian is confident that he will explode the business model of skype online phones!!!
Faetime or QQ are both bound to mobile phone number. When using QQ to make a call, you will first check whether the other party’s mobile phone number is bound to QQ in Tencent Data Center. If it is bound, then a QQ request dialogue prompt will pop up on the other party’s mobile phone, so that the telecommunications company can be bypassed, and both parties can directly use QQ to chat. The use of traffic is naturally much cheaper than phone bills. If you are at home and the mobile phone is connected to IFI, it is free!
With the current number of hundreds of millions of users of QQ, if this service is activated, skype and faetofae will have to make online calls and there is no hope at all.
As for faetime, it can also rise rapidly by relying on iPhone, thereby further squeezing the living space of skype and faetofae.
In fact, QQ has a huge ecosystem, and providing Internet phone services is actually just a way to increase its stickiness. Tencent in his previous life seemed not to have opened this service, but it still developed very well.
In addition, Tencent also has the WeChat, a big killer software. Although WeChat is also a social software, it has different differences in product positioning, user group, usage scenarios, product functions and QQ. QQ and WeChat complement each other, are an important cornerstone of Tencent's ecosystem and a strong foundation for Tencent to not be afraid of any competitors' challenges.
At present, Tencent’s WeChat has not been developed yet. However, Li Zetian plans to hold an internal global Internet conference after the iPhone development is completed to allow them to develop mobile software on the iPhone platform. At that time, Li Zetian will hand over the WeChat product design to Tencent.
"Mr·li, then sprint is awful. It's like cutting off your losses!" At this time, Edgar Carl couldn't help but smile bitterly. Tencent and Apple are going to enter the Internet phone and video communications, which will definitely cause great losses to all telecom companies around the world, including sprint companies!
Li Zetian chuckled and said, "There is no way, the general trend is... Sprint company is also my company, and I am also very sad. There are opportunities in the crisis. Sprint company needs to adapt while also looking for opportunities!!!"
"Yeah, I understand!" Edgar Carl nodded heavily and replied.
Li Zetian then talked about the joint promotions between Galaxy Network and Apple, and asked Sprint to cooperate, and finally said goodbye.
At noon, Li Zetian ordered a sumptuous lunch at a high-end restaurant near the Sprint Company. While eating, he had a smile on his face. The reason why he was so keen on promoting satellite communication projects actually had more purposes.
Li Zetian wanted to launch seven or eight hundred communication satellite projects to promote and promote the spae-x business, which not only enhances the influence of spae-x in the industry, but also gains more business volume. In addition, Li Zetian's plan will inevitably drive the further development of commercial aviation and stimulate more satellite manufacturing and launch plans, and all of this will benefit spae-x.
After lunch, Li Zetian thought about it and went directly to Apple to participate in Apple's design.
The design work that Li Zetian gave to Apple was modeled on the iPhone 4 in his previous life. I wonder if the antenna gate incident will repeat the same mistake.
