Chapter 637 The Information Highway Is Congested

Maozi's aircraft carrier is finished. Sometimes, a soft knife is more suitable than a direct hand. Not only the loss is small, but also very thorough.

"Tsk, Lisa, let the technical department come over, the network is not good, let them check the line." William White was very angry. It was early in the morning, the network cable was broken, and there are still hundreds of emails that have not been answered. Woolen cloth.

"Boss, it's been like this since last night. The technical department said that the server bandwidth is not enough, and they plan to use a dedicated line. If your mail is from abroad, the speed will still be very slow."

"Ahem, what is this saying? Do many people in the United States go online now?"

Lisa doesn't know what to say, can you not say more? In the past, I just checked emails, and if I was free, I just complained about it on the BBS. Now of course it is different, in addition to NBC Online, there are also some media that have started to take advantage of this platform.

"Well, let Tom come over and inform Filson again. If my place is blocked like this, other places should be shut down."

"Okay, boss, I'll call right away."

Of course William White can make complaints about that shitty Gore Act, isn't it already implemented?

It has to be said that William White thought too much. Although the so-called high-speed computer bill was passed, it would take a long time for it to be implemented without compromise.

"Boss, well, I already know, the news pictures on NBC Online, I have asked them to reduce the format."

"Tom, how big is the gap. You lower the format, it affects the user experience. It's not a long-term solution."

Seeing the sweaty fat cat Tom, William White was speechless. You fat man, you will die if you eat less. If you are so obese, what will happen in the future.

"Boss, the server is in the telecommunications room. The problem here is not that big. Los Angeles is fine. Just now, New York said that except for the dedicated line of securities, other lines are congested. The telecommunications company is not prepared enough for the sudden increase in user demand. "

Well, William White was also dumbfounded, this is not a problem he can solve at all. It appears that the Justice Department will need to break up the telecom companies again.

Although very disgusted with this antitrust, William White had to admit it. These monopolies have indeed delayed the popularization of new technologies.

It is the idea of ​​all the little Bells to enjoy the benefits without investing a lot of money. Even if the boss is changed, this view will not change. It seems that they need to put some pressure on them.

"Boss, Mr. Felson is here."

"Well, let him in. Lisa, don't let us be disturbed."

"Okay, boss."

To deal with these bastards, William White has no shortage of cards. In the traditional field, it is impossible for me to make any major breakthroughs. If I want to compete with those guys, I must quickly grow in the IT industry.

"Felson, with our cable network, we provide information services."

"Boss, this investment is not small. Your wireless TV network covers more than 40% of American families."

"Money is not a problem. Pull this project out for financing. I don't have time to wait now. Those guys are not efficient at all. Shit information superhighway, this is a joke."

"Well, if this is the case, there must be many investors."

"Felson, there is no way now. Have you noticed that the group of consortiums have begun to pay attention to Silicon Valley. If they want to do something, it is now. If we wait a few more years, we will lose our first-mover advantage."

Tom looked at each other in dismay, but he didn't expect that such an accident would be the final solution.

"Boss, what else do I need to do here?"

"Tom, go back and send an announcement telling those subscribers that NBC Online has big plans.

At least ten times the speed of the Internet, and the price will be much lower than it is now. As long as you have a cable TV signal at home.

Of course, if you are not our user, this time will be later. We also welcome other cable networks to join us. "

Tom and Filson were speechless. They were very sure that as soon as this news was announced, there would be huge waves in the IT industry.

As my own boss, I'm afraid he will dominate the headlines again tomorrow. Those short-sighted bastards are going to be in trouble this time.

It doesn't matter if the Internet speed is slower, you still have to pay. If you have the ability, don't use it.

"Asshole, what's going on? Why did our stock price drop so much?" Pacific Telecom was one of the seven little Bells. The current CEO, Henry, just had a warm lunch with his little secretary.

He was just about to take a break when he received a call from the manager of the securities department.

Well, don't sleep now, the stock price fell 5% in 15 minutes, which is a disaster.

"Boss, NBC Online has just released a message. Because the existing telephone lines are dilapidated, they plan to use the lines of the national cable TV network. According to them, the speed of information transmission will be increased by at least ten times.

Today's telephone wires are simply too thin to be responsible for the information superhighway. "

"Asshole, does this have something to do with thickness? High-voltage wires are even thicker, why don't you use them?"

"Boss, that's not the problem. It's not just us. The stocks of all telecommunications companies are falling. We must clarify now that some directors have expressed dissatisfaction, and some have requested to hold an interim board of directors."

Henry is really anxious now, he understands the problem too well. If the board meeting is held now, he will definitely be torn apart by those giant crocodiles.

In fact, not all directors are short-sighted, and not one or two directors asked them to speed up the laying of the fiber optic backbone network.

"Haha, Al, the richest man is very dissatisfied with your high-performance computer bill!"

As a veteran politician, Al Gore has nothing to be ashamed of. If you can't stand this, what kind of politician are you?

"Bill, this time, what he said is right. Although my bill was said to be worthless by him, I can't be angry. The right to speak, Bill, William White's right to speak in the IT industry, I can't compare it of.

Also, if you want to win this time. NBC must remain neutral. If he goes all the way to Bushu, you have little chance of winning. "

Bill is very depressed, can we be less direct? If it weren't for this reason, why do you think I have the full support of the donkey?

Old Tie, as my running mate, you are a bit heartbroken!

"Al, I don't see you that way."

"Oh, tell me."

"William White doesn't have a clear position. Just look at his donations. Let me tell you, the amount of donations I get here is the same as that of Bushu."

"Bill, are you sure?"

"Pretty sure, there's just a difference in timing, I'll be a week late. As for that NBC, that's a neutral news outlet."

"Well, I need to observe this. For this high-speed Internet, we still need to respond."

"Of course, I support the high-tech industry. If I can be elected, I will definitely increase my support."

The United States is like this. As long as it is an election year, some weird things will always happen. Some seemingly insignificant problems will be infinitely magnified.
