Back To 1995

   Chapter 315

  Some things, the longer you drag on, the more accidents may happen. The same is true of Bill 230. Although there is still some controversy, the impact of this bill is not great now, and the obstacles are much smaller.

   After a year or two, the Internet frenzy will be completely unstoppable. At that time, when everyone is eyeing this industry, it will not be so easy to pass a bill, and I am afraid it will cause more trouble out of thin air.

  Song Yang said to Bill Gates and Jim Clark in front of him that Microsoft, Netscape, and AOL all have their own legislators behind them, and some media are cheering for them.

This time, Song Yang wants all the giants of the Internet to take action, and as soon as possible, the members of Congress, state legislators, and the media supported by these companies will all start to advocate the 230 Act, which will reverse the meaning of the Internet industry. Refers to a deer as a horse, that is the most commonly used method!

Bill Gates glanced at each other, then nodded in agreement one after another, adding fuel to the 230 bill. If Microsoft, Netscape, Yahoo, AOL, and Song Yang all waved their flags, it would definitely be on Capitol Hill. The bill will be passed within six months.

Once   230 is passed on Capitol Hill, it represents the Internet Society and has absolute influence in the American Internet industry.

Song Yang, who proposed and pushed the passage of this bill, is not easy to say in the technology industry, but in the Internet industry, he will have a huge influence. The vote of the Internet industry has become possible!

This is what Song Yang needs most now. Even if Ella Cherry doesn't care, the members of Congress who support her, and the Donkey Party should also consider it. If you suddenly lose the vote base of the Internet industry, you will lose Dozens of millions of votes, what would be the consequences!

Song Yang took a sip of his drink and glanced at the banquet hall. He saw a group of people gathered together in twos and threes to discuss in a low voice, but apart from Song Yang and the others, the small circle of big Internet companies, the rest of the Internet companies The founders and executives of the company have no smiles on their faces.

The establishment of the Internet Society does not seem to do them any good. They seem to be going through the motions when they come today. Although the management committee of the Internet Society has threatened to cover up these small and medium-sized Internet companies, no one knows how. .

  If you want to make the horse run fast, at least it has to be fed. If you want to use these Internet companies as cannon fodder, you have to give them some sweetness. Otherwise, how can you let these small Internet companies charge into battle.

   After drinking the wine in the glass, Song Yang knocked on the glass, attracting everyone's attention.

   "America Internet Society was established, in addition to safeguarding the interests of all member companies and Internet users, it also fulfills its own responsibilities!"

  Bill Gates, Anderson, Yang Zhiyuan and others looked at Song Yang in confusion. They didn't know that the Internet Society had already been established. Song Yang's goals this time had almost been achieved. Now, what drama is he going to do.

The eyes of everyone at the banquet were focused on the righteous and awe-inspiring Song Yang, "The Internet industry is developing rapidly around the world, not only in America, but also in North America, Europe, Asia and even the most remote areas will usher in the Internet era. .

  The American Internet Society has the responsibility to help these regions realize Internet standardization and technology, including the allocation of regional domain names, so as not to cause chaos on the global Internet! "

All the people present looked at Song Yang, who was righteous, dignified and warm-hearted. Thinking of Song Yang's method of cutting leeks, he was not at all soft-hearted. At this time, he was concerned about the situation of the Internet outside America. The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, but this time, it seemed that it wasn't the leeks they cut from America.

Bill Gates couldn't help frowning. The Internet market outside of America now has some markets in Europe and Asia. For the rest of the world, let's not say whether there is an Internet or not. It is estimated that you can't even find a network cable, so that's it. Where the birds don't poop, he really doesn't know, what else can squeeze out the oil.

   "I propose that the American Internet Society should work with the Internet Standardization Organization, the International Telecommunication Union, the Internet Society, and the World Wide Web Consortium to allocate Internet domain names to all regions of the world to avoid confusion in the Internet industry!"

Listening to this, the whole audience was quiet when they were worried about the safety of the global Internet. People from outside the Internet, such as celebrities and ladies at the banquet, did not know what Song Yang meant, while people in the Internet industry did not know why Song Yang was. Pay attention to those broken local domains.

The Internet Society and the World Wide Web Consortium were established in recent years to promote global Internet standards and institutions. They are also promoting globally unified Internet technologies. Otherwise, there are many Internet technologies and standards in various regions, and the Internet industry will not be a mess. Not possible.

"America Internet Society, together with the Internet Society and the World Wide Web Consortium, assign their own domain names to all parts of the world. The American Internet Society should establish a global domain name management company, invest in acquisition or lease, and operate valuable regional domain names. It's worth it!"

Hearing that Song Yang was going to let the American Internet Society invest in regional domain names, Bob Weiss, the founder of Lycos, couldn't help but ask Song Yang, "Song, do you mean to buy those regional domain names?! "

Although Song Yang talked about it, everyone in the Internet industry is very clear. What is Song Yang doing? It is to unite with the World Wide Web Consortium to allocate Internet domain names to countries and regions around the world, and then the American Internet Society will acquire these domain name.

"But what's the use?" Bob Weiss asked the voices of the people present. He always felt that Song Yang was playing this game, and taking off his pants would be unnecessary. Now Internet companies register their own domain names, although they are seized. I got some domain names, but not to the point where the domain name is tense.

Song Yang stretched out his hands, "As I said, the American Internet Society should have its own responsibilities, not just profit, just like, after the regional domain name allocation is completed, according to the name of Tuvalu, you can get the TV domain name, The Internet Society of America, you can lease this domain name for $1 million a year, or buy this domain name forever!"

   "This Internet domain name can bring certain benefits to Tuvalu every year, and the American Internet Society can operate the global Internet domain name TV!"

How big is Tuvalu, it is a little hard to find on the map. The population is only more than 10,000 people, and the area does not exceed 26 square kilometers. You have to use a magnifying glass to find it on the map. Live by fishing.

   But if the Internet domain name is allocated according to the global region, the abbreviation of the Internet domain name of Tuvalu happens to be the Internet domain name of TV.com.

  This thing is a global Internet domain name, which is common all over the world. No matter how small the place in Tuvalu is, it is also an independent place. No one can rob someone’s global Internet domain name, so this TV’s domain name is common all over the world…

Hearing that Song Yang wanted to give money to Tuvalu, more than half of the people present didn't even hear the money, and everyone was a little dizzy, wondering if Song Yang was selling this gourd what medicine.

Bill Gates, Yang Zhiyuan, Anderson, and Case were a little puzzled when they heard this, but when they heard the abbreviation of Tuvalu's Internet domain name, which is TV, that is, television, several people's eyes lit up instantly. For a time, they were all eager to try.

And Bob Weiss and other Internet figures are not stupid. After a while, the same recollection came back. Before the rise of the Internet, this broken domain name was no big deal, but now it is a little different. The TV domain name is so direct It can be used as an Internet domain name for TV or media websites. This domain name is simple, crude and direct. In the field of Internet TV media, it should not be too conspicuous.

And this domain name is also universal, no one can **** it, and there is no fear of being squatted, because it can't be squatted at all, and people in Tuvalu are still there, right? Valois name?

  Whether this thing is valuable or not, it was worthless in the past, but in the future, you can guess one or two just by looking at the expressions of all the Internet companies in the audience.

To get this TV domain name, whether it is used by the Internet company itself or authorized to be used by other Internet companies, as long as you hold this domain name, when the Internet industry develops, all kinds of video and TV websites need to use the TV domain name. Authorization is the only way. If you don’t take tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in domain name authorization fees every year, I am afraid I will be sorry for the Internet market.

Not only Tuvalu, there are many places where this kind of regional domain abbreviation has directly become a top-level Internet domain name, such as the domain names of Corinth Islands, Niue Island, and the Chagos Islands domain name representing geek websites, etc. Lots of top-level domains.

The so-called thief of the hook, the thief of the country, like those who squatted the domain name of the industry, compared with the robbery of the regional domain name at the national level, it is simply not worth mentioning. Take the domain name authorization fee, maybe you can earn more than one billion dollars!

   Of course, the words must be so straightforward. The Internet Society of America operates local domain names such as Tuvalu, of course, not for profit, but to use the Internet to bring enough benefits to these regions.

   "Internet Society of America, have a responsibility to use the Internet to change the economic conditions of these regions!"

   "These regional domain names can only be operated by the Internet Society of America!"

Song Yang saw the eager expressions of everyone present, and said bluntly, dispelling the idea of ​​these Internet companies squatting domain names in these regions, and playing this game in the name of the American Internet Society, there is no problem, and other Internet companies play this set, then they have to weigh it.
