   Chapter 313 Entering the hall

For the tout of Double-click, all the Internet companies present pinched their noses and recognized it. Although it is a bit overblown, the appearance of Double-click has indeed brought some hope of making money to the Internet industry, rather than the original Set, purely by flickering.

   However, after this wave, it has forcibly determined the position of Double-click in the Internet industry, which is to save the existence of the Internet industry in America. Whether other people believe it or not, it is necessary to write this paragraph in the history of Double-click.

   Even if the match goes to the federal court, the double-click represents the justice party. If the double-click is to be punished, wouldn’t it deny the entire American Internet industry?

The host on the stage talked about the names of Internet companies, and then thanked the current commander, the boss of the Communications Committee, and others, forcibly pulling them to the position of supporting the establishment of the Internet Society, anyway, the commander can't be himself Oppose yourself.

   "The establishment of the American Internet Society is the most important thing for all companies and users of the entire Internet. I hope all Internet companies present can cast their votes!"

   As the host on the stage, after announcing the opening of voting, a page for counting votes appeared on the projector at the scene. Song Yang and others also took out electronic voting machines from the armrests of their seats.

There are more than 158 Internet companies present today. Of course, it is not all of the Internet companies in America. The number of websites now exceeds a thousand, but there are not many really influential ones. If the Internet Society of America is established today, these 158 All Internet companies will become the initial members of the American Internet Society, and the rest of the Internet companies will only be able to join after they have passed the application.

Voting is a secret ballot, so to speak, but this thing, at such a time, whether you like it or not, no one of the Internet companies present dares to block Microsoft, AOL, Yahoo, Netscape, Double-click, ICQ and other companies. , it's okay to offend one family, but if all of them are offended, then this Internet company will basically disappear in America!

  Face is still to be done, of course it is impossible to agree with all of them, but when 150 votes appeared on the projector for the establishment of the Internet Society and 8 votes against it, it represented the Internet Society of America, which was officially established.

   When the voting ended, there was a round of applause, and reporters from the media booth ran over to take pictures of Bill Gates, Song Yang and others to record the scene.

Not to mention, the emergence of the Internet Society represents another highly influential industry consortium in America. In the future, the Internet Society will be as unscrupulous as the military-industrial complex and the Federal Petroleum Association, no one knows. , but what is certain is that the Internet industry has officially entered the house in America, and it is no longer the wild way it used to be.

After the establishment of the American Internet Society, there are 158 initial members, and they are also the most powerful companies in the Internet industry. In fact, the top ten companies such as Microsoft, Netscape, Yahoo, AOL, Double Click, ICQ, Lycos and other companies have increased in valuation. It is almost higher than the combined valuation of all the Internet companies that follow. It is self-evident who has the right to speak in the Internet Society.

Song Yang also clapped his hands. The American Internet Association and the Internet Advertising Association. Now through these two associations, Song Yang can basically influence these two industries. The goal of millions of workers is not far away. If you meet someone like Ella Cherry, you don't have to fight alone, and directly push these two industries to challenge her!

Millions of workers depend on food and clothing, no matter who they encounter, it is estimated that they have to weigh it, whether it is a **** or a head, especially when it comes to ballots. If you don’t see the American Federal Postal Company, you will lose money like a bear, every year. After losing billions of dollars, I still can't live well, raising hundreds of thousands of people, and I really understand the game of Caoyun. The federal military-industrial complex behind it is very smooth...

   There was a flash of light on the scene, and the media recorded this moment. Maybe at some point, we can move out today's scene and say this is a historic moment!

After the establishment of the Internet Society of America, the first thing to start is the appointment of the management committee. This is also a "voting" decision, but this time, it was the initial members of 158 Internet societies. It was decided by public voting, basically bald. The lice on it, the obvious thing.

  When Song Yang, Bill Gates, and Jim Clark all publicly supported Yang Zhiyuan and became the first president of the Internet Society, who would dare to object?

  The subsequent appointment of the Internet Society Management Committee was the same as what Song Yang discussed with Coog, Lyons and others yesterday, and there was no deviation.

   Yang Zhiyuan does have the demeanor of a big brother in the rivers and lakes. No matter whether he can do it or not, after becoming the chairman, he announced that he will maintain the order of the Internet industry in America, protect small and medium Internet companies and so on.

Hearing this, Kuger, who was sitting below, was a little embarrassed. After Yahoo went public, it just bought, bought, and continued to acquire companies, acting as Yahoo's nutrients. If it protects small and medium Internet manufacturers, then Yahoo can't swallow those Up-and-coming small internet company?

Song Yang, Bill Gates, Case and others all took a meaningful look at Cooger. Cooger is a standard Wall Street professional manager, while Yang Zhiyuan is a bit idealist. Now it seems that Yang Zhiyuan is the representative. The founding team of Yahoo is always different from the Wall Street institution represented by Cooger.

   Today's entire conference is basically divided into two parts, one part is to vote to decide whether to become the American Internet Society, this part has been completed.

   The second part is to formulate the technical standards and rules of the Internet Society of America. Of course, nominally, it must be implemented by these internal members of the Internet Society, not involving companies outside the Internet Society!

But in fact, everyone knows it well. Once Microsoft, Netscape, Yahoo, DoubleClick and other Internet giants implement this rule, the remaining Internet companies have only two choices. One is to be decent. Honestly follow behind the giant companies, the other one is that several giant companies help it decently and make it disappear from the Internet in a decent way...

  With the management committee, it is naturally the management committee to formulate these Internet technical standards and rules.

   When it comes to the professional field of the Internet, it seems a bit boring. The reporters and media on the scene were not paying attention to the conference. Even Kevin Kelly thought that the standards and rules that the Internet Society was going to implement were just clichés.

   But when Greck, in his capacity as the head of the Internet Society's legal department, announced those rules, Kevin Kelly was taken aback, as did the reporters and the media.

   "The third rule of the American Internet Association, the association should protect the Internet ideas, patents, technologies, etc. of all members, and no company can infringe these patents and technologies, whether in America or overseas, the association will pursue it to the end.

   All members of the Internet Society are not allowed to cooperate with companies that infringe the patents, technologies, etc. of members of the association, whether it is technology, business, funds or other aspects! "

This article is not fake to protect Internet companies, but it is obviously biased towards Internet giants. Microsoft, Netscape, and DoubleClick have a large number of patents. Before, there were many plagiarisms from each other, but now they are mainly members of the Internet Society. .

  Song Yang still has a large number of rogue patents in his hands, all of which are now useful. Which company to clean up, directly ask the Internet Society to send a lawyer's letter to the other party.

   Not to mention ICQ, they have a lot of instant messaging patents in their hands, and there are not a few companies imitating ICQ, but now they have to be cleaned up.

The other Internet companies sitting at the scene showed a bit of bitterness on their faces, and they all understood that this was obviously aimed at them. It is not so easy to enter the industry where several giants are located in the future. A patent license fee.

   In addition to protecting the patents and technologies of Internet Society members, the Management Committee has also formulated rules to jointly combat Internet viruses and maintain Internet security, which are normal.

There are also many rules that are obviously deliberately introduced, such as the Internet Society's formulation of the Internet Industry Advertising Act, and it is obvious that the standards for the formulation of the Internet Advertising Act will be taken away from the Trade Commission, Kevin Kelly and other media reporters heard here , couldn't help laughing, knowing that this article was obviously made by Double Click Company.

   But the subsequent 230 Act made the media and reporters who had some knowledge of the Internet in the audience surprised, and it was obvious that the Internet Society was going to do something.

"In order to better develop the Internet industry, the Internet Society is obliged to implement the "Internet Freedom and Family Empowerment" bill on Capitol Hill. bill!"

   Greck on the stage, still with a stern face, clearly said that he would lobby for this bill to be passed on Capitol Hill.

Kevin Kelly stared blankly in front of him. He knew the meaning of this bill. If it was passed on Capitol Hill, then I am afraid that the Internet company would get a gold medal in America. At least No one can restrict Internet companies anymore.

The drowsy media and reporters who were listening to it just now are all as if they have been beaten by chicken blood. Even if they don’t know the meaning of this bill, but after hearing the comments of their peers, they also understand this Lao Shizi’s “Internet freedom”. and Family Empowerment," is a crucial bill.

  After the whole day of the conference, the Internet Society will hold a banquet in the evening. The entire Internet Society is basically settled. The Internet Society headquarters is located in San Jose, and a plenary meeting is held every year.

But when Song Yang and the others went out to the conference center, a large group of media immediately surrounded the reporters and asked various questions, but most of them were still asking about "Internet freedom and family empowerment", because This bill is really lively.
