Back To 1995: Chapter 311 threshold

  Chapter 311 Threshold

  If you want to burn the Internet, you need a lot of beautiful knives as firewood. The Internet in America is the same, and the Internet in China is the same.

  Is the Internet industry making money now? Of course it is impossible. Double-click is still the only Internet company in the Internet industry that has achieved a balance of payments. Others such as Yahoo, Netscape, and AOL have lost much more than anyone else.

  Song Yang alone would definitely not be able to fuel the domestic Internet, but with the addition of Yahoo and Silicon Valley Venture Capital, it would be enough.

Song Yang knocked on the wine glass in his hand, attracting everyone's attention, "I'm very glad that everyone can come. We are here today, and we all hope that the Internet industry in America can be orderly, standard, and ruled. It's not malicious competition in chaos!"

  The words are of course to be beautiful, no matter what industry it is, once the association appears, it basically means that when the time comes to cut leeks, those who enter the industry first will be the leeks that enter the industry after cutting.

"Of course, Netscape also hopes that the Internet can appear in an orderly manner, and all companies can abide by the rules!" When Mark Anderson said this, he glanced at Todd, who came on behalf of Microsoft, obviously implying that Microsoft would not say anything. Wu De, engage in malicious monopoly competition in the browser industry.

Todd, who was watched by Anderson, didn't care. It is true that Microsoft wants to establish the rules of the Internet, but the premise is that Microsoft can get enough benefits from this rule, at least in the browser industry, giving Netscape to the Internet. Get down.

Seeing that Netscape and Microsoft are going to bite dogs again, Song Yang quickly changed the topic, which really caused the two sides to quarrel, even if the quarrel was not to the end of the year of the monkey. If you win, then there is no need to start a war.

   "Tomorrow, the vote on the establishment of the American Internet Association will begin. I hope that all companies you work in can support this resolution!"

There will be many people present tomorrow, including Bill Gates, AOL President Keith, and some influential figures, professors, and media related to the Internet industry. Basically, this is the most important conference since the rise of the Internet in America. A meeting to determine the status of the rivers and lakes.

  Song Yang glanced at the crowd, "There are two things today, the first thing is the position of the Management Committee of the American Internet Association, who will be in charge!"

An association must have a management committee, and entering the position of the management committee means that it has the right to share the cake. Today, all these companies are definitely not here to watch a show. They all want to be in the American Internet Association. Got a slice of the cake.

   "Second thing, if the American Internet Association can be established tomorrow, it needs to establish the management authority and rule-making of the Internet Association. The American Internet Association must represent Silicon Valley and all Internet companies and make its own voice!"

  Hearing this, the expressions of Jim Clark, Coorg and others immediately became subtle. They obviously also thought of what kind of trick Song Yang was going to play.

Now that the Internet has just emerged, even in America, there are no perfect laws and industry systems, let alone other emerging markets. It can almost be said that there is no law to prohibit it. The crazy development of the Internet is also related to unrestricted. Because there is no American law that can restrain the Internet industry!

  The current situation involves a sensitive issue, who has the final say on the Internet industry in America, who has the right to interpret the industry?

  Whether the Federal Communications Commission of America has the final say, or whether the Trade Commission is qualified or the Federal Department of Justice is directly in charge, there is no conclusion yet, after all, the scope of the Internet is too wide.

Now, although Song Yang hasn't said it directly, people like Coog and Jim Clark who have experienced great storms have thought of another possibility, that is, to enclose the city, and the Internet companies in America form their own associations and formulate their own rules. rule!

  Thinking of this, Coorg, Jim Clark, Yang Zhiyuan, Leon Sith and others looked at each other. They didn't expect that Song Yang was going to play so big this time.

"Double-click company's situation, everyone must have seen it. I want to say that Double-click company is not the only company that has been treated unfairly. There will be a second or third company in the future. The Internet Society of America was established After that, you need to make your own voice!"

Song Yang said to the crowd, how to make this thing sound "self" is nothing more than lobbying. The military-industrial complex and the medical complex are the best at this point. Through various lobbying, Congress passed a large number of A bill that benefits the military industry and pharmaceutical groups.

After the establishment of the American Internet Association, it is natural to play this game. Through lobbying, it will implement bills that are beneficial to the Internet. At least it will take away the interpretation power of the Internet industry from organizations such as the Trade Commission, so that the Internet in America will not be subject to the restrictions of Egypt. La Cherry kind of people!

   Otherwise, if there is a person who wants to kill Double-click and other companies, and continues to implement bills against Double-click and Song Yang, I am afraid that it will be really uncomfortable. Only a thousand days of thieves, there is no reason to prevent thousands of days against thieves.

   "I hope that after the establishment of the Internet Society of America, it will be able to implement bills on Internet advertising, Internet speech, and Internet content, and pass them in Congress!"

"The Internet Association of America, the first bill to be introduced to Capitol Hill is the "Internet Freedom and Family Empowerment" Act. Internet companies should not be responsible for third-party information on the platform, and should also have the right to delete information on the platform. Part!"

  Song Yang directly moved out the famous Bill 230, preparing to use it as the first battle after the establishment of the American Internet Association, and let Capitol Hill pass this bill, which can be called the talisman of the Internet industry, and determine the status of the American Internet Association in the industry!

Hearing that Song Yang wanted the Internet Society to implement this bill on Capitol Hill, the people who were hesitant just now were suddenly moved. As an Internet company, they couldn't understand the meaning of this bill. It's not an exaggeration to die for a gold medal.

Think about it, now on major websites, there are ghosts and snakes haunting all walks of life, most of them are normal people, but there are also many lunatics who will make some **** remarks. fined to bankruptcy.

  And if this bill is passed, no matter who or what they say on the website in the future, it will have nothing to do with the Internet company, at least they will not be sued and fined.

  Song Yang glanced at the crowd. Coorg representing Yahoo, Jim Clark, and Leon West of AOL all nodded in support. It's no wonder they don't support this bill.

   "I need to report to President Bill Gates, but Microsoft, in principle, supports lobbying for this bill on Capitol Hill!" Todd said with some reserve.

  Hearing Todd's words, Mark Anderson rolled his eyes. This is a typical case of being a so-called torii. Microsoft is afraid that its reputation will be even worse, so it is a little bit of a cover-up.

Song Yang nodded. If the Internet Association can be established in the future, it will be a card in Song Yang's hands. If there are people like Ella Cherry and Winslow, Song Yang can use the Internet Association to disgust the other party. , so that there is no power to fight back!

   "If the Internet Association of America is established tomorrow, I propose that Yang Zhiyuan be the first president!"

   This is the result of a long-term dispute between Netscape and Microsoft. Whether Bill Gates or Mark Anderson became the first president of the Internet Society, one of them was dissatisfied. In the end, Yahoo had to be cheaper.

  Hearing that Yang Zhiyuan was appointed as the chairman, Yahoo President Coorg couldn't help but smile on his face. Becoming the chairman of the American Internet Association will undoubtedly make Yang Zhiyuan's Bigger a step up!

   "Anderson and Bill Gates, as vice presidents of the Internet Society..."

   This is basically a cake. The position of the management committee of the Internet Association and the major departments are basically divided by people from several companies.

Song Yang became one of the directors of the Internet Association, but the three major departments of the American Internet Association, legal affairs, finance, and patents, were all taken over by Song Yang, and Greg, Marcus and others were in charge. The most important department of the association.

The American Internet Association, after all, was proposed by Song Yang, so Song Yang should get the big head anyway, otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to take charge of the three major departments of legal affairs, patents, and finance, which is equivalent to letting Song Yang control The right to fight for the Internet Society of America.

The voting day for the founding of the American Internet Association started only the next day, but the cake has already been scraped clean. The positions of the president, vice president, and chairman of the board of directors have already been established. Companies like Lycos can still To get a share, other small Internet companies come to participate in the Internet Association's vote, which is basically a process.

As the most important gathering after the rise of the Internet wave in America, this time the major Internet companies in America basically expressed their participation. Everyone knows that this gathering is not for them, but they still have to act as group performers. Play the show well.

The future American Internet Association, just like Hollywood's Actors Guild and Directors Guild, may be useless at all, but it is the first step to enter Hollywood. At least get an "establishment" before you can enter the industry, otherwise the first step If you can't walk, let alone become famous in the future, for Internet companies, joining the Internet Society in the future will also be the first step, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch!

  San Jose Convention Center, early in the morning, various media and reporters from Silicon Valley flocked here, wanting to record today with their cameras.

  After the establishment of the Internet Association of America, what will it mean to Internet companies and countless Internet users? No one can say why, but everyone knows that today will be an important day.

  When a car arrived at the conference center and Internet upstarts arrived, the atmosphere at the scene continued to rise, and the reporters on the scene and the TV stations that relayed the broadcast were also constantly reporting.

   When Bill Gates rushed over with a group of people, as soon as he got out of the car, there were a bunch of media and reporters around him.
