Actually I just want to act

Chapter 719: The Germination of a New Era

A certain place, a certain high school.

A small note was passed around in the classroom during class.

After passing through the palms of classmates one by one, it finally reached the place.

A plain-looking boy received a note.He casually opened the note and saw that there was a line of scrawled handwriting - "Brother, lend me your mobile phone to hang on to QQ for two hours, I'm only one day away from rising three moons!"

This is the Nth time the boy has received the "Flying Pigeon Biography", but the content is the same every time.

Well, sometimes it is different, such as a sentence handed over by a girl-"Can you tell me why your mobile phone has so much traffic?"

This boy was very emotional, he was originally a transparent person in this class!Just because he bought the Shenzhou N1 mobile phone and paid a monthly rent of more than 50 yuan, he became popular?But this boy bought a mobile phone not because he wanted to play QQ or something, but because it was convenient for him to contact his family. After all, he was a boarding student.

The ghost knows why his mobile phone card can have unlimited data.Anyway, because his QQ is online all year round, he was naturally discovered by his classmates, and then discovered that he was actually the first in the class to have a mobile phone and mobile data, which made him a favorite.

However, just when he was about to take out his mobile phone to play, a creature quietly lay on the window - the teaching director.

Ever since, the boy was caught by the dean and taken to the office.

"Tell me, why do you play with your phone in class?"

The majesty of the dean is there, and the boy is about to cry if he is not angry.

He really didn't want to play with his mobile phone, but just took out his mobile phone to have a look under conditioned reflex, but he didn't expect to be caught.

"...Director, I really don't dare in the future, but you can't confiscate my mobile phone."

"why?"

The dean asked back with a calm face.

"Because my parents are working out of town, I have to contact them by mobile phone. They will call me from time to time..." The boy is not lying, in fact, he is.Of course, there are elements of exaggeration. I will definitely not call during the day, only at night.

"You can give it back, but you find out your parents' phone numbers, and I will tell them in person."

The dean didn't let him go at all, because he subconsciously felt that after the student was caught, he would choose to lie to get the item back.The dean feels that he has taught so many students, how can he not know the students' minds?
The boy gave the phone number, and the dean took out his mobile phone to call. After checking the situation, the dean was also a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, no matter what, it's wrong to play with your mobile phone during class!"

After training the boy, the dean turned off the phone in front of the boy, took out the battery, handed it to him and said, "I just told your parents that they won't call you during the day. The phone. So, after school this afternoon, you can come to me to get it back. The battery is taken away, and the teacher doesn’t want to see your privacy.”

"Thank you, Director!"

The boy felt lucky that he was able to get his phone back.

"Don't take it as an example! If I catch you playing with your mobile phone in class next time, I won't say anything, it will be confiscated, and you can ask me to get it at the end of the semester!" The dean said very rudely.

The boy walked out of the office dejectedly, but the dean took the Shenzhou N1, looked at the straight phone, and muttered in a low voice: "This phone is really good, and it can also access the Internet." Yes, the dean three years ago The mobile phone I bought is already outdated, not to mention surfing the Internet, I can't even receive multimedia messages.

"It seems that I have to change to a mobile phone..." the dean said to himself.

……

This situation is happening in middle schools and universities all over the country.

The emergence of GPRS traffic has slowly begun to change everyone's life.Although this GPRS traffic has been piloted in a small area last year, it is really popular this year.This popularization is based on the premise that the national signal base stations have been basically completed and can cover most areas.

Without this premise, it seems meaningless to open the national GPRS service, because in some places you can't connect to the signal at all!
Of course, in the beginning, because of the high traffic charges, not many people went online at all.

After all, China Mobile also wants to make money, and they also do business at a loss, but that is a literal task.If they don't earn back from other places, how can they afford the expenditure of building signal base stations across the country!

However, China Mobile is very unhappy now.

Because with the emergence of QQ, especially after the emergence of wap traffic, China Mobile has continued to grow its SMS business for more than ten years, but it has stopped growing rapidly, and for the first time after the opening of the GPRS service, the growth rate has been negative!

No, the boss of China Mobile is starting to feel upset, because the SMS service is a major income pillar of China Mobile!

Take this year’s Spring Festival as an example, the 16 billion New Year’s greeting text messages have really changed China Mobile’s text messages from “fashionable consumption” to “mass consumption”. A total of 8200 million text messages were sent.On average, each person sends nearly 17 short messages, which is equivalent to the sum of the per capita sending volume in the first half of 2001.

The whole year 2001 was a cold winter for the global communications industry, and China Mobile's SMS business volume was 159 billion, with an output value of nearly 16 billion yuan.

A small business worth a dime has created a large market of several billion yuan. The success of the SMS service cannot but be attributed to the business innovation aimed at "digital".SMS is billed by piece, and one dime is charged.Although it is the same as the billing by the hour of the telephone information station, there is the same problem of different charges for the value of the information, but after all, it allows users to use it clearly and calculate it clearly.

After the "Chinese short message" was launched in 1995, China Mobile adopted the "monthly subscription system" in general at that time, which greatly hindered users' consumption interest.However, after the popularization of mobile phones and the re-pricing of SMS, in 2001, China Mobile's revenue from SMS-based new services increased by 143%.

But after May of this year, the GPRS data service grew rapidly, and its proportion in the total revenue increased to 6.1%, and the rapid growth of SMS disappeared.

But what outsiders don't know is that with the addition of Monternet, China Mobile and China Unicom entrusted the Institute of Telecommunications Transmission of the Ministry of Information Industry to formulate specific technical solutions and specifications for inter-network short message intercommunication. mutual agreement.With the comprehensive settlement of SMS intercommunication, China Mobile's SMS service has become one of its important data services.

In other words, even the expenses incurred by Monternet are included in the SMS service.

Monternet, which supported China's Internet through the cold winter, was included in the SMS service from the very beginning.

But after excluding the data of Monternet, China Mobile knew that the short message service and the GPRS traffic service began to fight.

But at this time, China Mobile bosses don't know that a new era called mobile Internet has begun to sprout.
