Back To 1995: Chapter 316 tinder
Chapter 316 Tinder
If you want to distribute the national-level Internet domain names that operate Tuvalu, you must have the American Internet Association and the World Wide Web Consortium to promote it together.
And if it is a small Internet company that operates domain names such as TV, it is tantamount to a child holding money in a busy city. I am afraid that there will be all kinds of ghosts and monsters, and even places like Tuvalu will jump out in the future.
But using the name of the Internet Association of America is different, which represents the entire Silicon Valley and the Internet industry. Anyone who wants to use these domain names must weigh whether they are qualified!
"America Internet Society, if it operates Internet domain names such as TV and Geek, if it can make a profit, it will distribute the domain name revenue to all members of the Internet Society in proportion!"
Song Yanghuan looked around, and said to a group of small and medium-sized Internet companies, this is a carrot with a stick, tell these Internet companies that they will charge for the American Internet Association in the future, and naturally they must get a share of the dividends of these domain names, if not , then we have to wait for them to be cleaned up.
"If the Internet industry continues to heat up in the future, the demand for Internet domain names may continue to increase. Maybe in the future, this is a market worth hundreds of millions of dollars, or even a higher market!"
Internet domain name demand, although everyone understands that it is a game of drumming and spreading flowers, but there has always been a market. As long as the Internet industry exists, the demand for domain names will always exist.
Whether it is in America or in China, there are more than one or two companies that have made a fortune and listed on the Internet by playing Internet domain names, and even many cities and famous landmark domain names, such as Cidu Town, have been robbed. , and even auctioned off at a high price...
If the domain name trading of the American Internet Association really starts to play, it will not be as bad as those domain name hooligans. It is enough to become the world's largest Internet domain name operator, and use these profits to tie Internet companies to On the chariot of the Internet Society, it charged towards the opponent.
For Microsoft, this domain name dividend is nothing, but for other small Internet companies that are still struggling, it is definitely worth it if they can get millions or even tens of millions of dollars in domain name dividends every year. Go hard.
The establishment banquet of the Internet Association has ended, and countless Internet companies have returned to Silicon Valley and other places, but unlike when they came, when they left, the founders of many Internet companies had a look of expectation on their faces.
If it is true what Song Yang said, then joining the Internet Association of America may be beneficial to many Silicon Valley companies, and naturally it is not a loss.
After the establishment of the American Internet Association, it immediately regarded itself as the "orthodoxy" of the American Internet. The official website that went online, regardless of whether other Internet companies agreed or disagreed, was written at the beginning of the Internet Association, which is a consortium of "all" Internet companies in America. , is the representative of all Internet companies in America!
No matter how those Internet colleagues feel, anyway, the Internet Association of America Internet will represent them in the future, including dealing with the federal government of America, state and municipal departments, and the Internet Act with Capitol Hill. "Well, these Internet industry rules, policies and other things are subject to the Internet Association.
This is the Internet giants. For small and medium Internet companies, they are just like oil, military and other industries. Although new companies will appear, they must abide by the rules of the game formulated by those established companies!
The Internet industry will be the same in the future. As an emerging industry, the Internet will be updated very quickly, and there will definitely be new Internet giants. However, it will definitely not be as easy as in the past two years. There are a lot of companies like Yahoo, AOL, Double Click, and ICQ.
What attracts the attention of the outside world is naturally the bill known as Internet Clause 230. After the establishment of the Internet Association, the Management Committee immediately formed a professional lobbying team in Washington and began to lobby members of Capitol Hill.
A large number of Internet companies such as Microsoft, Netscape, and Yahoo have all made their voices out, declaring the significance of Bill 230 to the Internet industry. Tinder" to report.
Otherwise, how could it be said that the media will engage in public opinion? Even Bill 230, which is comparable to the kindling of Prometheus, can be said, and it directly gained the upper hand in public opinion!
Under the "request" of the Internet Association, a large number of Internet companies have also petitioned Capitol Hill and the states of America to allow Bill 230 to enter the agenda of Capitol Hill and the federal state governments.
A large number of state legislators have begun to come forward one after another, and many congressmen on Capitol Hill have publicly supported it. The Elephant Party, which is rare this time, did not jump out to oppose it, although some senior conservatives expressed concerns about this bill, thinking that "this Act, will make the federal government lose control of the Internet", but these voices have not become mainstream.
The antitrust school led by Ella Cherry stood up and clearly opposed this bill, but this time it was different from Song Yang’s side. The emerging Internet industry showed its influence in America this time. Ella Cherry Cherry's voice didn't even appear in front of the mainstream media!
Wall Street also stood on the side of the American Internet Association and began to fuel the flames behind it. Because after the public opinion of Section 230 appeared, Nasdaq's Internet concept stocks rose collectively again, and even the tepid double-click company, Shares rose 7%.
As for the Internet stocks that Yahoo is the first to win, let alone, investment institutions also believe that the 230 Act is a major benefit for the Internet industry, which can give birth to more Internet giants, and even overseas Internet concept stocks, such as Japan’s Softbank, etc. Following the surge, the influence of America's Internet industry began to appear in the global investment market.
This wave can be regarded as "popularity". Except for some people such as Ella Cherry, many other industries have expressed "support" for Section 230, which makes the voice of the bill appear on Capitol Hill. small.
The Internet was created by the Grand Commander, and he will definitely not object. The Internet is regarded as the new ticket storehouse of the Donkey Party, and it is also the main force behind the 230 Bill this time. Yang invited the Elephant Party whip Tom DeLay, New Jersey veteran congressman Ketarelli and others to come forward, so that the Elephant Party also held their noses and remained silent on this matter, and Article 230 was quickly nominated on Capitol Hill.
However, we still have to go through the process that should be followed, otherwise it will be a bit too much. The entire 230 bill, if there are no mistakes, will be passed on Capitol Hill in the second half of the year, and then introduced by the American states.
"I'm not sure what effect the Section 230 Act will have on the future of the Internet, but its appearance now is a good thing for the current Internet. It avoids the "publisher" responsibility of Internet sites, that is, There is no need to be responsible for the books published like traditional publishing houses, but in the future..."
"Wired" magazine, in the latest issue of its weekly magazine, also reported editor-in-chief Kevin Kelly's views on this matter, "As we all know, nothing is completely without side effects, even if its purpose is good, It's like Prohibition in the twenties!"
Kevin Kelly, who has always supported the Internet and is known as the Internet trumpeter, implicitly expressed his concerns about Section 230. He has not experienced the chaotic and disorderly era of Prohibition in the Federation, but he has also heard of the madness of that era. .
The original intention of Prohibition at the time was the same as when Section 230 appeared today. Of course, it represented "justice". It was beyond his expectations.
Kevin Kelly didn’t believe it. People like Song Yang, Bill Gates, and Jim Clark couldn’t see it, but they still insisted on implementing it. That’s a bit intriguing.
However, under the current atmosphere, Wall Street, ordinary investors in America, and overseas investment institutions are all enjoying the excitement of the soaring stock prices of Internet concepts in Nasdaq. No one wants to hear negative news about the Internet, even if there is, Also ignore it!
The current leader needs to rely on the Internet to establish his historical status. The donkey party needs the votes of the Internet. Wall Street needs the Internet to cut leeks. No one wants to see the Internet fall. This is the status of the Internet in America today. All in one.
Of course, Kevin Kelly expressed his concerns implicitly. It would be overthinking to expect him to stand up and oppose clearly like Ella Cherry.
You should know that "Connection" magazine has also enjoyed the "dividend" brought by the Internet. The Internet has contributed to the fact that Wired Magazine can now become a top-ranking and authoritative technology media magazine.
Let Wired magazine oppose the Internet, which is tantamount to madness, against yourself?
"America has gone through several years from the emergence of the Internet to the complete wave in 1995. The Internet industry has also experienced countless people who can change the Internet."
This issue of "Wired" magazine is definitely not to oppose the 230 bill, but Kevin Kelly launched the power list of the Internet industry!
"Wired magazine decides to select the top ten most influential figures in the global Internet industry every year in the future, so that more people can see their influence in the Internet industry."
Of course, the power list cannot be said to be so obvious, but the top ten influential figures, everyone knows what is going on.
"Jim Clark is definitely the most influential figure in the American Internet and even the global Internet industry since last year. He may not be as well-known as Mark Anderson, who is also the founder of Netscape, but the Internet industry will eventually remember. , it was a man named Clark who created Netscape, the beginning of the Internet craze!"
Kevin Kelly puts old friends at the top of the Internet power list.
