Chapter 441 Buy One Get One Hundred Free

Ertian said "invitation", but the attitude he expressed was obviously not a "request", but more like a request!
"The Alcatel P1 mobile phone will provide users with network services. In the future, I believe that network services may become one of the standard configurations of mobile phones. In order to avoid unnecessary confusion, Alcatel mobile phones proposes that global mobile phone manufacturers jointly form WAP Forum association, sign the WAP wireless application agreement!"

"WAP may not be the best mobile Internet technology, but it may be the most applicable at present. WAP can support the current mainstream communication network. Whether it is digital signal or analog signal, communication systems such as GSM and CDMA can be connected by WAP. use!"

Ertian turned to the crowd present, mainly targeting Nokia O'Reilly and Motorola's Sandor, as long as they agree to join the WAP Forum Association established by Alcatel, sign a wireless application agreement, and become one of the members of WAP One, that means that 40% of the world's mobile phones will soon join the WAP camp, and WAP will also become the standard for global Internet access!
Ertian told many mobile phone manufacturers about the advantages of WAP. It can support the networks of mainstream telecom operators in various regions of the world, and can convert HTML language version webpages on the Internet into WAP webpages on mobile phones.

Disadvantages naturally also exist, because of the hardware of the mobile phone, and the mobile Internet has just started, and the Internet speed is too slow. unavailable etc.

But one thing is enough, it can allow mobile phones to access the Internet, which can make up for almost all shortcomings, and may even change the entire telecommunications and Internet industries. The Internet can draw another big pie...

Facing the invitation from Alcatel Mobile, O'Rali, Sandor and others weighed the pros and cons for a while, and they naturally understood the meaning of Alcatel Mobile.

If Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other manufacturers do not use WAP technology, but develop one by themselves, then the standards of the entire mobile Internet industry may become diverse, and each will fight on its own, and the entire mobile Internet industry may be cut in half. It is impossible for communication operators to support so many mobile Internet access standards...

"Alcatel Mobile invites Nokia and Motorola to join the WAP Forum Association and become the founding members of WAP. In the future, WAP will open the WAP Forum to major mobile phone manufacturers, telecom operators, software developers, etc., and license it to mobile phone manufacturers and users for free. !"

Song Yang opened his mouth at this time, and said to O'Rali and Sandor, as long as they are willing to join the WAP forum and sign the wireless application agreement using WAP, then Song Yang would not mind giving Motorola and Nokia a founding member status. Let the outside world know that this global standard for mobile Internet access also has their share of credit.

Hearing that Song Yang wanted to open the WAP forum, O'Rali, Sandor and others were obviously relieved. What they were afraid of was that Song Yang would use WAP to do things. Once the forum was opened and authorized to mobile phone manufacturers for free, they would Don't worry, even if Alcatel's mobile phone suddenly grabs the neck and kills it.

Olari and Sandor looked at each other, and they nodded slowly in agreement. Joining the WAP forum was no loss for them. Although they used the mobile Internet standard formulated by Alcatel, they did not need to give Alcatel mobile Pay "protection fees", and if they don't join, they can of course develop a set of Internet technology and standards by themselves, but it will take time.

If during this period, other mobile phone brands join the WAP forum and take advantage of the trend to launch mobile phones that can access the Internet, it will not be good news for Nokia and Motorola. This is a psychological game, or the prisoner's dilemma. Neither Nokia nor Motorola can guarantee that the other party will not be a second-five boy and suddenly sell themselves to the other party.

"The mobile phone industry really needs a standard to go online, and the mobile phone industry should not be chaotic!"

O'Rally's opening means that this matter has been finalized. Nokia supports the WAP standard for Alcatel mobile phones. If other mobile phone manufacturers want to create a set of Internet access standards, it is heresy and will be isolated by the entire mobile phone industry, or Expelled from the WAP forum, global telecom operators are no longer allowed to support their brand mobile phones to go online...

American Telecom, Telephone and Telegraph Group, Mike Chigli and others who were sitting on the side suddenly showed joy, and they were close to the water. American Telecom, Telephone and Telegraph Group, and Alcatel France Telecom Group had already bet on the WAP Internet access standard. The entire mobile phone industry uses the WAP standard, so they are the first telecom operators to provide mobile Internet access!
Even today, American Telecom, etc., have already made preparations. Once manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola are unwilling to join the WAP forum, they will turn the tables and go it alone with Alcatel mobile phones. One step ahead means preemptive occupation Market and users!
O'Rari originally thought that the decision on this matter meant that today's meeting was over, and that it was enough for Alcatel's mobile phone to publicize his achievements to the outside world, but who knew, Song Yang spoke again.

"At this time, we should open a bottle of champagne to celebrate this blessing in the mobile phone industry, but at this time, Alcatel mobile phones have some new proposals!"

Song Yang said to Olaley, Sandor and others, and then turned his head to look at Ertian. The latter took a deep breath, and then stood up again. Although he didn't know why Song Yang made this decision, he still said , "Alcatel Mobile is willing to license the Symbian system to other mobile phone brands!"

"boom!"

A group of mobile phone manufacturers who were about to leave the venue could not help being in an uproar when they heard this. Even O'Rari was stunned, wondering if he heard it wrong. For other mobile phone brands?

During the short half-hour experience just now, Olali and the others had already clearly understood the importance of the Symbian system to the P1 mobile phone, but now they heard that the Symbian system should be authorized to them. Some Arabian Nights ah.

If it was changed to Motorola or Ericsson holding the Symbian system, it would definitely not be open to other mobile phone manufacturers, not even Nokia, but Alcatel suddenly wanted to open the Symbian system. Feel suspicious.

"Symbian system, as long as you abide by the rules of the Saipan system and do not change and leak the source code of the Symbian system at will, you can get the authorization to use the Symbian system "for free", as well as... all software and other services based on the Symbian system! "

Ertian said it in one breath, he originally wanted to rely on the Symbian system as a selling point for Alcatel mobile phones, but now Song Yang made the Symbian system "free" for other mobile phones to use.

Looking at the expressions of O'Larry, Sandor and others, Song Yang could guess what they were thinking, and how shocked they were by the news.

Whether to open the mobile phone system or not depends on the timing. These days, mobile phones mainly sell hardware. Even if the Symbian system is sold to other manufacturers for a fee, it will be exhausted. A machine charges [-] dollars, which is still what big manufacturers are willing to pay. , Small manufacturers are not willing to pay licensing fees at all. The Symbian system can earn hundreds of millions of dollars throughout the year, which is already beyond the sky.

And it may not be able to receive so much money. At this time, there are many competitors in the Symbian system. Among the major players who play PDA handhelds, Palm is the best among them. In addition, Microsoft also has systems such as CE. To make money, these two companies will definitely enter the mobile phone system.

Another point is that Alcatel's mobile phone licenses the Symbian system to Nokia, Motorola, etc., which seems to be a bit of a disadvantage. It allows the opponent to use its own mobile phone system. Never more than an Alcatel phone!

This is an upright conspiracy. It depends on whether Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson can get into it. Now the major mobile phone manufacturers mainly rely on selling hardware to make money. The software has not been thought of yet, and this is the Symbian system of Alcatel mobile phones. Opportunity.

As long as it occupies the systems of most mobile phone users in the world, Symbian will have room to operate, gradually launching game centers, app stores, online web advertisements, paid software, etc., can be slowly developed.

In addition, the Symbian system can also cooperate with other telecom operators around the world to create Monternet services, such as color ring tones, multimedia messages, color pictures, etc., which can be played without charging a few dry licensing fees How many dollars are there?
The key to all this is to make the Symbian system the operating system used by the vast majority of mobile phone users. When Symbian is too late, it will be difficult for mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia to replace Symbian. Saipan has a huge user base and a huge market, and you can continue to play tricks and launch various projects...

"As long as you abide by the rules of the Symbian system, the Symbian system can be licensed to all mobile phone manufacturers present for free, not only the Symbian system..."

Song Yang looked at O'Rali and the others and said, "Now those software functions on the P1 mobile phone, such as the mobile version of ICQ, Firefox browser, Snake, etc., can all be authorized together in the past. In the future, the Symbian system will be upgraded and use Symbian System mobile phone users can also choose to upgrade the system together to experience the latest features!"

"Not only these, as long as you join the WAP forum and install the Symbian system, you can also get other support. PA Semiconductor is the best mobile phone chip design company. You should have heard the name of ARM. You have chosen Symbian. PA Semiconductor and ARM can design mobile phone chips for it, and PA Semiconductor can even provide it with production chips if needed..."

Olali and the others sitting in the conference room were a little confused when they heard these words. Didn’t they just sign a WAP wireless application agreement? The chip design has all come out!
