Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon - v6 Chapter 900

Brin patted him on the shoulder, “I think it can!”

“Broadband access is getting closer and closer to the basic needs of mankind. This is also a major trend.”

This made Feng Yiping nod his head continuously, right? With the continuous emergence of smart phones and other smart devices, as more and more developers develop more successful applications, there will be more and more successful applications. People cannot do without the Internet.

The Internet has indeed become a basic need for many people, just like eating, drinking, and breathing air.

“Feng’s satellite plan serves this need,” he nodded, “It’s totally worth our efforts.”

“What’s more, currently nearly half of the people in the world cannot access the Internet…” His voice was lower.

Although the current level of communication technology and broadband network development has improved significantly, the popularity of broadband communication is still relatively weak. There are still 4 billion people on the earth who cannot access the Internet. Of this, 90% of the population is of course concentrated in underdeveloped countries. .

Right now, the broadband access rate in some European countries may exceed 90%, but in some African countries, the access rate may be as low as less than 5%-or even lower.

Such a difference is really not something that makes people happy.

Feng Yiping took a few shots on his shoulder, “This ratio will certainly increase in the future, but how much it can increase in the end is questionable.”

“From a global perspective, there are huge gradients in the digital capabilities of various regions. This is mainly because the cost structure of telecom operators’ infrastructure prevents them from fully covering all remote areas.”

Although the telecommunications of the Celestial Dynasty has all kinds of speechlessness, although in terms of infrastructure construction, rural areas are also delayed for a long time than urban areas, but because of the nature of their state-owned enterprises, they will eventually make people all over the country In rural areas, they also have the conditions to access the network.

At this time, investment and return are not the primary goals they consider-this is something that telecommunications companies in most countries cannot achieve.

“Therefore, in some remote areas in the foreseeable future, it is very likely that the terrestrial communication system will never be able to wait for the ground communication system… So,

He looked at the other two, “We need satellites,”

“By deploying satellites in the air, you can cover every corner of the world, and make people who have not yet connected to the Internet become Internet users…”

Brin went on to say, “This is an opportunity for us Internet companies,”

“Allowing people who have not been connected to the Internet will also be involved in the Internet wave. Behind this will be immeasurable commercial value, especially for us,”

Feng Yiping reached out and gave him a high-five, right, buddy!

Whether it is for social networking companies or search companies, or e-commerce, video sites… Of course, the more users, the higher the income.

“I agree too,” Page said, “Especially Yiping, having this ability will greatly promote your company’s business.”

Feng Yiping smiled, “I know I can’t hide it from you, hehe, I’m really a little careful,”

If he has this ability, it will help him attract a large number of subscribers from traditional cable companies, because the acquisition of Motorola makes his company one of the largest set-top box manufacturers in the United States.

After gaining many users through his own satellite network, he can guarantee that Netflix, YouTube, and future channels can directly reach more TV viewers, and such direct connection to users will certainly increase their advertising business. .

Feng Yiping did not intend to conceal this. Peppa’s ability to raise this point in front of him shows that their relationship is extraordinary. They are very honest with each other.

Otherwise, Page probably only discussed this with Brin after he left—he believed that Brin must have thought of this too.

“But if we build such a satellite network, we can do more than that. Satellite-based broadband networks can bring us many new applications and new services.”

“For example, after we have a yacht, we will often face such problems. We often enter the blind zone of mobile phone signals when we are about 20 nautical miles away from the land. Our communication equipment cannot use the operator’s telecommunications network. Not using satellite communications,”

“The current communications rely on maritime satellites. These traditional maritime satellites are not only cumbersome and ineffective, but also expensive.”

“Because of the small satellite capacity, this often makes communication extremely delayed. Similarly, the related tariffs are too high to make people speechless.”

Take the international maritime satellite organization, INMARSAT, which is currently used by most ships, for example, for a 1M data package, he will charge you nearly 10 dollars, which is more than 100 yuan.

This is the real accident, the traffic you use will make you lose your house overnight.

“These factors have severely restricted the development of maritime communications. This also allows the satellite network we plan to develop to provide a very large market space.”

After the successful construction of his planned satellite network, not only will the communication effect be better, the same 1M traffic may only cost one or two cents.

“Think about how many ships there are on the ocean, and how many crews are there in these ships,”

——In our country’s sea area of ​​several million square kilometers, there are millions of ships and tens of millions of crew members living at sea for a long time.

“The future development potential of maritime broadband satellite communications projects should not be underestimated!” He concluded again.

“It seems that OneWeb’s short-term goal is to provide communication support for users on some islands?” Page said, “This is indeed a huge market,”

“But Feng, have you ever thought about a problem. In any case, the construction of infrastructure is directly proportional to the economic level, and the economic level is closely related to population density. Those areas that cannot be covered by ground communication systems are often sparsely populated. economic crisis,”

“It is very unrealistic to rely on the return from providing communication services in such a place to cover the cost of launching satellites,”

“There is also the cost aspect. As you said, micro-satellites have a limited service life and will need to be updated in about ten years. Ground operators can do it once and for all in this regard.

“So how do you think about this?”

What he said hit the nail on the head. Those operators do not want to build related facilities, mostly because of the disproportionate investment and return. Ground operators are not cost-effective, and they are even less cost-effective.

But Feng Yiping of course has his own thinking about this. “I think you know that, to put it bluntly, at this level of our company, in many cases, we have to consider not just returns, but also some scarce resources. ,”

He looked at them, “Space resources are currently very scarce resources. For example, I think that the two of you should have no knowledge of spectrum and orbit!”

“Hehe,” Brin patted Peppa, “How can Feng this guy do a loss-making business?”

When the radio wave is between space and the earth, it will be weakened due to distance, atmosphere, etc. The frequency spectrum that can be used by human activities is very limited ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and even if there is only this frequency spectrum, it is still It is exclusive. According to the “Outer Space Management”, which country has the priority to declare to the ITU can obtain the right of priority.

Over the past few years, the United States and Russia have accounted for almost 80% of the world’s high-quality frequency bands. The competition in this area has been fierce.

The orbital position is also the same. The satellite must occupy a certain orbital position during operation, whether it is a geostationary orbit over the equator, other low-earth orbits, or more distant medium orbits, etc., no matter which orbit, its space resources They are all limited, and if others take up, you will have no chance.

So of course, the sooner you enter, the sooner you occupy the orbital position and frequency band.

Even in the future, the speed of satellite Internet will be slow, it can only downlink but not uplink, and the cost is high… etc. These problems, they just can’t solve them, and they don’t matter much. Anyway, when someone solves these problems, they will pay a high price. They got the right to use the frequency band—of course, Feng Yiping would not do such a disgusting thing.

“It seems, Feng, you have been thinking about this issue for a long time,” said Page, “I said, why did you hire the former chairman Kevin Martin in the Peanuttun office?”

“This,” Feng Yiping smiled, “it’s not as good as you think. I was actually thinking of just in case at the beginning.”

Kevin Martin belongs to Bush Jr., who is also the chairman of the US Federal Communications Commission. They must get approval to establish such a satellite network.

Brin said immediately, “Feng, your humble pride is really bad,”

“Also, you are now going to the sea and heaven again. Behind this, there are other considerations.”

Feng Yiping hehe hehe again, of course there are other considerations, Xiao Ohei, you, understand?
