The impact of this conference on the entire industry was unprecedented.
It was even greater than the impact of the Daqian 5 mobile phone.
Although the Daqian 5 was the first to have a camera function, which changed the design direction of the entire mobile phone, it was actually just a new feature of the mobile phone.
At least, with the current camera technology, it was impossible to directly turn the mobile phone into a digital camera.
However, the emergence of WAP completely revolutionized the mobile phone usage. In the future, even the phone call function would be replaced by the emergence of the Internet.
After all, by then, a WeChat voice could be used to make a call.
For the entire industry, the emergence of WAP was epoch-making.
Although the camera technology of the Daqian 5 was amazing, this technology was exclusive to Daqian. Other people couldn't share it with Daqian, nor would they use Daqian's camera technology.
But WAP was different.
The Internet connection protocol had a certain degree of exclusivity. Once WAP was the first to cooperate with the fixed Internet, then the WAP protocol developed by Nokia would be difficult to use. This was because the protocol was bound to occupy some key data nodes.
This led to the subsequent protocols to skip these nodes and use garbage nodes, which dragged down the performance of the entire network connection.
In particular, Daqian's WAP supported both GSM and CDMA formats. This meant that with the introduction of Daqian's WAP, unless Nokia could compete with Daqian on the next day, they were destined to be eliminated. They didn't even have a chance to appear, they would be directly thrown into the trash bin.
If Daqian announced that Daqian's WAP would not be free to the public, then Nokia could only force their own WAP. But once Daqian announced that their WAP would be free, then everything would be over. Even Nokia themselves couldn't convince themselves not to use a free product and spend a lot of money to develop a bad one.
On the other hand, the WAP developed by Daqian seemed to be free to other companies, but this meant that Daqian had the right to set the standards of the entire WAP mobile network. In the future, all mobile devices that wanted to connect to the Internet had to listen to Daqian. This alone was worth the price.
Finally, and most importantly, there was the problem of the base station.
At this time, the base station couldn't directly connect to the Internet. It had to be modified to connect to the WAP network.
Now, the only company in the world that had the technology to modify the base station was Hua Xia. Then, there was only one country in the world that could use the mobile Internet, and that was Hua Xia, which fully used Hua Xia's base station.
In fact, on the second day after the release of Daqian 6, Huaxia Mobile and Huaxia Unicom announced at the same time that their CMDA network had fully supported the WAP Internet function. All mobile phones that supported the WAP Internet function only needed to pay a network fee of 1 yuan per megabyte of data, and they could freely use the mobile phone to access the Internet. Huaxia also officially became the first country in the world to open a mobile network.
The second country in the world to open the mobile Internet was delayed for eight months before the United States completed it. In this way, compared to Hua Xia in the previous world, Hua Xia in this world had achieved an unimaginable huge advantage in the mobile Internet.
It was worth mentioning that last year, when Xiamu Network announced that Fusang had fully realized the broadband layout of the major cities, in March 2000, all the provincial capitals of Hua Xia had completed the broadband layout.
Of course, this was not laid by Daqian. Daqian had no ability to do this business, but all the optical fibers were provided by Daqian. To the public, Hua Xia Telecom claimed that it had spent a huge sum of 500 billion yuan to complete this historic mission.
But in fact, Hua Xia Telecom only spent less than 100 billion yuan because the price of the optical fibers provided by Daqian was only one-eighth of the market price.
Well, this kind of thing certainly needed a cover. Otherwise, the countries that bought the cheap optical fibers from Daqian at a high price would probably immediately beat the Daqian up.
It was also because of the low price of Daqian that Hua Xia completed the broadband layout of all the provincial capitals in the country five years earlier than the previous world.
It was estimated that before 2002, all the prefecture-level cities in the country would have completed the broadband layout. Before 2005, all the county-level administrative units in the country would have completed the broadband layout. By 2008, except for some ultra-remote areas, all the regions, towns, administrative villages, and so on in the country would have broadband.
In history, this task was only completed in 2012.
In this world, Hua Xia's network speed would be faster than in the original world!

After the mobile phone was released, the entire mobile phone industry helplessly accepted the WAP standard specified by Daqian. All the users were also full of expectations and curiosity about Daqian 6 mobile phones.
However, this was not because Daqian 6 could go online. In fact, not many mobile phone users understood the charm of using mobile phones to go online. On the contrary, they were somewhat dismissive of it. After all, the mobile phone screen was too small to be used to go online.
However, the mobile phone could be used to watch videos and record videos. This was too attractive and was also a very big selling point. After all, it was not easy to put the TV under the bed … Well, those who understood understood.
As the market expectations for Daqian 6 mobile phones exploded, the sales of Wins mobile phones gradually fell to the bottom.
Although Wins mobile phones ushered in the peak of its life when it went on the market, and now the total sales had reached 4 million units, which was an amazing speed.
However, when the number of users of Wins mobile phones increased, the shortcomings of this mobile phone were exposed.
Not to mention the low quality of the photos taken, the portraits and shadows were almost non-existent, and the Wins mobile phones could not even satisfy the basic phone call requirements.
Many users when using the mobile phone, the volume of the call was sometimes loud and sometimes soft. Sometimes the call was simply cut off, and sometimes the call could not be received, etc. All kinds of problems caused Wins users to suffer a lot.
The repair rate of Wins mobile phones was as high as 18%, and this was a figure that could drive all mobile phone manufacturers crazy.
On the mobile phone forum, Wins mobile phone's rating had dropped to 4.5 points. Many users commented that using a mobile phone is more comfortable than using a mobile phone. Many users expressed that they cannot believe this is a mobile phone produced by the world's biggest company, Microsoft.
Actually, this was not Microsoft's fault. After all, Microsoft had just entered the mobile phone industry and is a complete newcomer. They had introduced the latest camera phone within a year, and there must be many flaws in the design.
Also, Microsoft was very proud and insisted not to buy mobile phone parts from Hua Xia. But most of the mobile phone parts in the world were produced by Hua Xia, and many production lines had stopped.
Microsoft had no choice but to buy the mobile phone parts produced by different manufacturers. Microsoft's last mobile phone was made from 67 different manufacturers' components, and it was lucky to be able to make calls.
That's why Microsoft could not be blamed for not working hard. They were too naive.
