Chapter 165: I have a friend
Three days later, inside the Yanjing Mobile headquarters.
After Su Yan signed his name on the agreement, Friends Music, a subsidiary of Shenxiu Technology, officially started cooperation with China Mobile.
"Mr. Su is really young and promising!"
Looking at Su Yan's age and thinking about the current situation of Shenxiu Technology, a mobile executive said with emotion.
And this also resonated with most people present. Indeed, when I was as old as Su Yan, I seemed to have spent all day in school studying hard.
"Mr. Su, I hope we can cooperate happily in the next year. One year later, Friends Music can be our priority partner. I hope China Mobile and Shenxiu Technology can have more cooperation opportunities in the future!"
Li Chongjun said with a smile that after three days of continuous discussions on the mobile side, it was finally decided to let Shenxiu Technology be the only partner for the value-added business of mobile ringback tones, but only for one year.
Because it is obviously impossible for China Mobile to let Shenxiu Technology control an important source of income all the time. And one year is almost the bottom line of China Mobile. If Su Yan does not agree, China Mobile would rather turn around and use some official power.
Go and discuss cooperation with other record companies.
The one-year exclusivity is basically in line with Su Yan's expectations. In his opinion, one year should be because Mobile is worried about the power behind Su Yan. Otherwise, given Mobile's strength, it would be good to give you half a year, let alone one year.
Already.
If nothing else happens, after the one-year cooperation with Shenxiu Technology's friend music platform expires, China Mobile will definitely conduct an open bidding. If you want to cooperate with China Mobile again at that time, you will probably have to give up some of your benefits.
However, Su Yan obviously doesn't care about that. You must know that China Mobile's sp ring tone value-added service has not existed for long. With the gradual popularization of smart phones, after incoming call ringtones can be set directly on the mobile phone, the mobile ring tone business has basically existed in name only.
One year is enough for Su Yan to make back the money he spent on his friends' music, and there may even be a lot of surplus.
"By the way, Manager Li, I heard that our mobile phone seems to be working on 3G. I wonder how it is going now?"
After signing the agreement, Su Yan suddenly asked Li Chongjun while everyone was chatting.
"Mr. Su is quite concerned about the communications industry. It is true that we are studying 3G, but the progress... alas!"
When talking about the progress, all mobile people including Li Chongjun couldn't help but shake their heads.
Although the country did not issue 3G licenses until 2009, research and discussion on 3G began at the end of the last century.
In January 1998, the Xiangshan Conference on the submission of candidate technologies and China's determination of 3G candidate technology strategies was held. At this meeting, professors and research institutes from universities across the country introduced some of their respective foundations and perspectives on 3G technology research.
, including the Institute of Telecommunications Science and Technology of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, which proposed TD-SCDMA technology - later Datang Telecom.
There were twenty or thirty people attending the meeting, and the debate was very intense, and 90% of them were skeptical. The skepticism was justified. International standards have always been dominated by foreigners. It is very costly and difficult to develop mobile communication standards.
, our country has no such precedent, can we afford to play this game?”
Amid the constant controversy, Song Zhiyuan, then director of the Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, said: "China cannot always rely on foreign technology to develop its mobile communications industry. There has to be a first time. The first time may not succeed, but it will leave a valuable legacy."
experience. I support them in bringing TD-SCDMA to the international market. If it fails, we will regard it as a victory, an attempt by the Chinese to dare to innovate, and a contribution to the country." So far, the "Xiangshan Conference"
The final word for TD-SCDMA.
In May 1999, after joining 3GPP, in September of the same year, it was recommended to 3GPP that TD-SCDMA be included in the work content of 3GPP standard specifications.
At the 18th meeting of ITU-RTG8/1 in Helsinki in November of the same year and the ITU-R plenary meeting in Istanbul in May 2000, TD-SCDMA was officially accepted as one of the CDMATDD standard solutions.
At the 3GPP meeting in Nice, France, in December, China's proposal was accepted by the 3GPPTSGRAN (radio access network) plenary session, and TD-SCDMA was formally included in the work plan of Release 2000 (later split into R4 and R5), and
TD-SCDMA is abbreviated as LCRTDD.
And this also laid a big hole for China Mobile? In the subsequent 3G era, China Unicom used WCDMA, China Telecom used CDMA2000, and this TD-SCDMA was assigned to China Mobile with a somewhat political mission.
.
From the perspective of the entire network construction, whether it is the Internet or mobile communications? China's development is not too late. It has always been an important strategic direction since the new millennium. But the problem is that the level is really limited. So in the process of development, in fact
It's quite helpless.
Especially in the 3G era, China Mobile can be said to be a stepmother. At that time, both WCDMA used by China Unicom and CDMA2000 used by China Telecom had been used internationally for some time. However, China Mobile's TD-SCDMA technology was still quite immature.
It's a pity that China Unicom's original good hand was turned into shit by China Unicom.
As of the end of December 2010, according to the simple addition of the calibers announced by the three major operators, China had a total of 47.052 million 3G users, including 14.06 million for China Unicom, accounting for 29.88%; 12.29 million for China Telecom, accounting for 26.12%; and 20.702 million for China Mobile.
, accounting for 44.00%.
So far, TD-SCDMA has been recognized and accepted by the majority of operators and equipment manufacturers internationally, both in form and substance, forming a truly international standard.
The accumulation in the 3G era also paved the way for China Mobile to become the strongest in the 4G era.
What Su Yan is interested in is Future Mobile's position in the 4G era. Su Yan will never let go of the future smartphone market. As someone who has experienced the smartphone era, Su Yan knows deeply that smartphones will play an important role in people's lives in the future.
What an important position it occupies.
"Have you considered forming an alliance to jointly develop TD-SCDMA?"
Su Yan asked tentatively. He knew that the TD-SCDMA Industry Alliance would be established in Yanjing soon. Its members include the famous Telecommunications Science and Technology Research Institute (Datang Telecom Technology Industry Group), Holley Group
Co., Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Lenovo (Beijing) Co., Ltd., Shenzhen ZTE Co., Ltd. and other technology companies.
"How did Mr. Su know about the establishment of the TD-SCDMA alliance?"
When he heard what Su Yan said about the alliance, Li Chongjun was even more surprised than when he saw the ringtone value-added service offered by Su Yan. After all, only a handful of people knew about the TD-SCDMA alliance.
"Well, I have a friend who told me."
