The International Telecommunication Union is discussing when to announce the 3G standards. Although there are three mainstream standards in the past, the Europeans and the US do not want Hua Xia's 3G standards to be included.
To put it bluntly, whoever's standards could be implemented more widely would have the upper hand. Not only the telecommunication companies, but mobile phone manufacturers are also the same.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Hua Xia's standards are the weakest. Europe has the most 3G users, followed by the US, and Hua Xia has the least users. The ratio of users is 6: 3: 1. This shows how weak Hua Xia's 3G technology is.
But in this life, with India's telecommunication companies and the rest of Asia's countries interested, 3G will be better.
Also, 3G is only a transitional product. In less than 5 years, 4G standards will be introduced again. In Feng Yu's previous life, Hua Xia's TD-SCDMA technology had switched to 4G technology at that time. Many people call this TD-SCDMA as the shortest 3G standard.
If he wanted to promote the implementation of this standard, the most important thing was to have the support of the telecommunications operators.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Mexico's telecommunication tycoon can become one of the world's top tycoons is because of the US's 3G and 4G standards. Mexico's companies are also involved in setting the 3G and 4G standards.
… …
Department Head Lin of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is sitting opposite an important guest. Feng Yu, the World's Richest Man and also a mobile phone tycoon.
"General Manager Feng, you want to buy the authorization for TD-SCDMA technology?"
"Yes. China does not allow private telecommunication companies, but there are no restrictions overseas. I intend to invest in a few telecommunication companies next year and need the authorization for 3G technologies. "
Department Head Lin is overjoyed. This is good news. Not only can they make more money, but they can also promote Hua Xia's 3G technology.
"No problem. We can discuss this, and we can even sell it to you now!"
Feng Yu shook his head. "Now? Your technology is still in the testing phase and is not mature yet. The International Telecommunication Union had not officially approved your technology as one of the 3G standards. "
If it cannot become a standard, then what's the point of buying it? Most importantly, Feng Yu didn't have the money to buy a telecommunications company.
No one would believe that the richest man in the world had no money. However, the amount of cash that Feng Yu could use right now was really very little.
By the end of next year, his plan should be completed. At that time, he could spend the profits. Communications was a good investment direction.
Minister Lin smiled awkwardly. It was an indisputable fact that their technology was relatively backward. However, the technology that they developed had indeed met the requirements of the 3G standard.
We are confident that by the end of this year or early next year, it will become one of the 3G standards recognized by the International Telecommunication Union. "
"By the way, General Manager Feng. Why is your Wind and Rain mobile phones and Aiwa mobile phones not participating in Yidong's 3G mobile phone manufacturing tender? "
"I can make the decision. You can still make it if you bid now. I can even guarantee that you will win at least 30% of the bidding. How about it? "
Feng Yu glanced at Minister Lin. You make it sound like you are taking care of us. But we really don't want to be testing machines.
"Thank you for your kindness, Minister Lin. Let's give this opportunity to the other domestic mobile phone manufacturers. I also hope that their mobile phones will get better and better, grow up as soon as possible, and make important contributions to our country!"
Even if the testing machines were good, Feng Yu was not interested. The total number of testing machines this time was only 60,000 units. 30% of the bidding would only be slightly more than 10,000 units. It was not worth it to build a production line for this purpose.
Currently, Wind and Rain mobile phones and Aiwa mobile phones were selling well, and the profits were high. Feng Yu must be crazy to give up this mature production model and use it to produce those testing machines.
Xu Lihua and the rest had developed the 3G mobile phone manufacturing technology a long time ago, and they can produce it anytime they want.
Minister Lin thought Feng Yu was doing them a favor, but from Feng Yu's expression, he knew he was not interested. It was also wrong to say that Feng Yu did not like 3G technologies. Feng Yu was prepared to buy their technologies.
"General Manager Feng, I heard you have good foresight. Are you going to invest in 3G communications because you think it will become popular?"
"I agree with the rise of 3G communications. But times are changing fast, and 3G might not be popular for long. Minister Lin should know about the internet. Many years ago, our country was still a narrow band. After that, broadband was developed. "
"But after broadband was developed for a while, Super Broadband, also known as fiber optics, was introduced. The speed of the internet had increased by several times, but the time for improvement was shorter. "
"Technology is changing every day. The technologies that we thought were powerful might not be able to satisfy the people's needs now. The development of technology will always be to satisfy the people's needs. But can the people's needs be satisfied? "
"Look at the internet technology. From dial-up to broadband, to fiber optics, the speed had increased many times, but some people still feel it is too slow. It is the same for communication technology. 3G is equivalent to broadband. Don't the users want to use fiber optics? "
Minister Lin asked. "You are talking about 4G?"
"That's right. We should focus on developing 4G and even 5G!"
4G is a concept that was proposed a long time ago. It is the fourth generation of mobile communication technology. 3G only requires the upload and download speed to be over 2MB. But 4G requires the upload speed to be over 20MB. The maximum speed is 100MB!
After the emergence of 4G, the traffic charges for mobile communications will become more profitable. 3G is just a transition.
But when 3G is popular, 2G will not disappear. After the emergence of 4G, 3G will not disappear, and 2G will still exist.
But using 4G technology to set up a communication network can also increase the speed of 3G. But setting up a communication network is expensive.
Google had asked Wind and Rain Holdings to set up their own Super Broadband, a fiber optics network with a speed of 1G.
Now, the mainstream broadband speed is just over 1M, and some regions can reach 4M. For example, Korea, which is one of the world's leading countries, is only at 10M.
Masao Kameda and Ralph do not agree to Google's plan. This plan could actually share some resources with the construction of the 4G network.
That's why Feng Yu agreed to this plan. But it is too early to start now.
Also, this will require a lot of funds. Google cannot afford it now. Even Wind and Rain Holdings will not be able to afford it. Conservatively, they will need more than 50 billion USD!
But in the future, this will be able to combine the internet, telecommunication networks, and TV networks. The potential is huge.
While Feng Yu was talking to Minister Lin about this, the Fruit company announced something important!
