  Chapter 1167 The Bigger the Storm, the Bigger the Fish

"Although the implementation of the Starlink project will take a long time and the price paid is very high, but with Bruno Song's worth, if he thinks that the Starlink project can be implemented, it may be a new era for the global telecommunications industry. arrival!"

Analysts from Wall Street and scholars from the economic circle finally came to the conclusion that if Song Yang put all his eggs in one basket, and even bet on industries such as ICQ and Alcatel mobile phones, then the era of "Starlink" will indeed come, and it is possible to directly provide users with Internet speed service above 3G.

  As for the telecommunications giants, the Skype platform, which has been complaining endlessly, will hinder the development of the telecommunications industry, let alone that, because Song Yang directly bypassed them and started playing satellite networks, which is equivalent to a dimensionality reduction blow!

  Whether they really believe it or for the effect of the program, they must say so. The supporters behind the two of them are Wall Street institutions.

As soon as Starlink’s gimmick comes out, ICQ’s stock price is expected to continue to skyrocket again, and the stock prices of major telecom companies will also be hit head-on. This is a great opportunity for Wall Street institutions to do their best. You can go long on ICQ’s stock price, or short on phone calls. The greater the storm and the muddier the stock prices of telecommunications companies such as Telegraph Group, the more Wall Street institutions earn!

Even the senior executives of Southwest Bell who were present couldn't deny that Mr. America's richest man, he was really hard-hearted. If he really didn't care about the influence of his status, if he just wanted to fight for such a sigh of relief and disperse his family wealth, then it was really possible for the Starlink project to Get it out, even if Song Yang suffers a heavy loss in the end.

  The viewers who watched the TV show here couldn't help but have an idea, that is, Song Yang can really overturn the pattern of the global telecommunications industry, instead of shouting a few words!

  It is enough to form this kind of consensus. Some things, even if one person does not have them, as long as others think he has them, then this person really has them.

  For the telecommunications industry, Gong Songyang was aggressively forced before, but now, with the sudden change of offense and defense, Song Yang may reverse them and overthrow them. Only they can feel the taste of this!

   "Starlink Project?!"

  Motorola headquarters, seeing the Motorola board member here, as the third-generation head of Motorola's founder family, Chris Calvin, looked at the ambitious plan on TV, and finally could only helplessly smile.

Chris Calvin doesn't know whether the times are changing too fast or he can't keep up with the trend. Motorola's 66 Iridium project was scolded as **** and was rated as the most failed project in the history of Motorola. The straw that broke the camel's back for Motorola.

But how long has it been? Another person threatened to launch 40,000 communication satellites, but the media began to tout the Starlink project. Do you want to have such a double standard? The Iridium project will not work with 66 satellites, what the hell? 40,000 satellites are almost wrapping the earth into zongzi. How can this be fun? !

The reason why the Iridium project has been unable to make a profit is not because the satellite phone bill is too expensive. The satellite phone bill is so expensive, and the network provided by the communication satellite will be so cheap. I am afraid that it will not use the satellite network for one hour, and the traffic fee will be charged. It’s enough to buy a mobile phone. Chris Calvin dare not say what will happen more than ten years later, but he can use his toes to figure out whether it will be possible in the future. It's not good, and it's the one who cuts leeks. Those who come from the Internet are the best at this.

Looking at the long-winded discussions on Song Yang in the media, Chris Calvin only felt that his luck was bad. If the iridium project was released at this juncture, would Motorola also be blown to the sky, but now the iridium project It's getting cold, and the Calvin family's time in Motorola is about to enter the countdown!

In the past few years, Motorola's life has been very difficult. The most important mobile phone business has encountered the rise of Alcatel mobile phones. Motorola's basic disk has lost more than half of its users in the United States. The mobile phone business has changed from Motorola's most profitable business. It may become a money-losing product!

   The Iridium Project, which was led by Chris Calvin in order to fulfill the regrets of his father Calvin the Elder, forced Motorola to lose blood.

When the Iridium company closed down or was sold, it was when Chris Calvin was driven out of Motorola, which also marked that Calvin, the founding family, completely left Motorola. Someone has to recite the blame, and Motorola President Sandor is definitely not willing to recite it, so he is still qualified to recite it, leaving Chris Calvin, who made him and Sandor, one of the two speakers of Motorola First, the Iridium Project was also a project forcibly approved by the two heads of the Calvin family.

And now, Chris Calvin feels that that day may not be too far away. Motorola is now developing the next-generation flagship mobile phone "Blade" series, and it will spend a lot of money on research and development. The entire mobile phone and electronics industries are desperately developing it. Graphene mobile phone materials, so as not to be eliminated from the graphene arms race, Motorola, which has to use beautiful knives everywhere, is almost unable to support the 66 satellites in the sky of Iridium, and even the maintenance is beyond its capabilities. Giving up is just a matter of time. Sooner or later, it depends on whether you can find a taker.

Chris Calvin has already begun preparations. What will happen after the Calvin family withdraws from Motorola, if he withdraws from the Motorola board of directors, he will also clear all the shares in Motorola held by the Calvin family. The Calvin family will not have anything to do with Motorola.

   "Bowen, what is going on with the Starlink project? Bruno Song Zhen is planning to launch tens of thousands of satellites to it?!"

The Office of the Grand Commander's Mansion, the Little Cowboy Commander, also found Mike Bowen, the boss of the Federal Communications Commission, as well as Holdren, the chief consultant of the Grand Commander's Science and Technology Advisory Committee, and Lori Javier, the deputy director of the Federal Space Agency. Wait, these are the team members of the Cowboys in charge of the major institutions in America, but the one who can become his confidant is Mike Bowen.

The little cowboy pointed to the top of his head, and first asked Mike Bowen. He was also a lobby group hired by the Federal Telecommunications Operators Association these days. Come over to persuade him to let the little cowboy issue the command of the commander-in-chief to close the Skype platform in America. Of course, the little cowboy family and powerful figures on Capitol Hill have also received many "gifts" from lobbying companies these days.

  The federal court and even Capitol Hill were arguing over whether to shut down the Skype platform. At this time, Song Yang suddenly broke face with the telecommunications industry and wanted to engage in the Starlink project, which really gave the little cowboy a headache.

If it were someone else, after the Association of Telecom Operators came out to lobby, the little cowboy would be sidelined, but if he put it on Song Yang, he would be hesitant. Don't dare to make a decision lightly.

After all, this is the federal telecommunications industry. The little cowboy is a layman in economics, but he also knows that this is an industry with an annual output value of hundreds of billions of dollars in upstream and downstream. It pays huge taxes to the federal government every year, and tens of millions of dollars Practitioners, with millions of families and millions of votes behind them, how dare the little cowboy give up so easily!

The Federal Telecommunications Operators Association is of course important, but... it is not the basics of the Little Cowboys and the Elephant Party. Telecom belongs to the technology industry. Naturally, it is the same as Silicon Valley and Wall Street. The bill has made the telecommunications industry a die-hard supporter of the donkey party for many years.

But Song Yang is the big funder of him and the elephant party. Looking at the situation on Capitol Hill, even if the telecommunications industry launched a fierce offensive, they still didn't take much advantage on Capitol Hill. A group of congressmen on Capitol Hill headed by Ruimu are all from Song Yang's side of the platform. Even if the little cowboy's hard-core confidant, now the speaker of Capitol Hill, Tom Delay, also secretly supports Song Yang, because Tom Delay, Graham and the others, the donations they receive from the Bruno family every year are much larger than those from the Federal Telecommunications Operators Association. Now is the time to show their favor to the big benefactor. Where would they do backstabbing? Let me know, do you still want to donate next year? !

Mike Bowen, who was asked by the little cowboy, said with some hesitation, "Theoretically speaking, the Starlink project is feasible... but it may take a lot of time and invest a lot of dollars. In this regard, Holdren and Jia Will, definitely knows better than me!"

  The little cowboy counted on Mike Bowen to be the one who took the blame. On which side of the platform, Bowen didn't want to do it, so he directly dumped the blame on the two of Holdren.

Both Holdren and Lori Javier looked at Mike Bowen in surprise. The dispute between Skype and the telecom giants was under the control of the Federal Communications Commission. On the one hand, he threw the pot out abruptly, he was so inhumane!

Seeing the little cowboy's gaze, Holdren, who is the chief technology advisor of the little cowboy, can only bite the bullet and say, "The Starlink project may be launched, but it will take a long time, even the two terms of Mr. After the end of the term, the Starlink project may have just begun!

  Of course, if Starlink can really be built, it will indeed completely change the original structure of the telecommunications industry! "

  Holdren heard these words suddenly, and seemed to be saying that the Starlink project was unreliable, but in the ears of Mike Bowen and Javier, they all knew that he was secretly helping Song Yang.

Holdren is now a consultant for Siebel Electric Vehicles. Javier is well aware of this. He doesn't know how much "consulting fee" Holdren has received from Song Yang, but obviously not small amount.

To say that the Starlink project has no threat in a short period of time is to let the little cowboy not have to worry. During his term of office, there will not be much movement in the telecommunications industry. After his term of office is over, what about the Starlink project is none of his business. , He slapped his **** and left. The telecommunications industry in America is dead, and tens of millions of practitioners have been displaced. It's none of his business. Just wait and see the fun!

   I have to say that Holdren has a lot of experience in handling people's hearts from the academic industry to the technology consultant of the Grand Commander.

   One chapter is still owed, tomorrow will be three more, and the two chapters owed yesterday will be made up!
