Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Five days later, on January 6, the activities of the four companies continued to advance, but the news of this day must be on another matter.

That is, from now on, Huaxia will officially start 3G trial operation in Yanjing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, Jinling, Hangzhou, and Chang'an.

The difference with the attitude towards 5G is that at this time, Huaxia users are looking forward to 3G in general, because Huaxia is ahead in the 5G era, and users have no idea what 5G is useful for. Many people not only do not look forward to it, but also cast aside domestic 3G came too late, while mocking the domestic 5G so early is meaningless, but they don’t know that when the neon country was the first to launch 3G, many ordinary people also thought it was useless

Therefore, because China is backward in 3G, other countries have developed it for a long time. Users know what 3G is useful for, but they are quite looking forward to it.

However, although Meng Qian promoted the early arrival of 3G, it was precisely because of this that he ruined the memory of a generation, that is PHS.

The history of PHS is also a relatively common knowledge point. At the time when China Mobile Telecom was separated, China Telecom could not handle mobile on the mobile side, so it went to the Neon Country to introduce PHS. Later, in 2000, China Telecom realized that some domestic 3G licenses were waiting. They took advantage of policy loopholes and defined PHS as a supplement and extension of fixed-line telephones. Then, because PHS phones and packages were cheap, they also launched a family network package with unlimited calls later, which sold very well.

But PHS is destined not to last long, because 3G will come sooner or later, and when 3G comes, PHS will of course have to give way, so after 2009, it only took two years for PHS to say goodbye to the public.

In this life, because 3G is ahead of schedule, Telecom already knew about it, so they didn’t make much effort to develop PHS. It was supposed to be the peak of PHS in 2006, but now it’s mediocre. This is indeed Meng Qian’s fault .

With the emergence of 3G, it is estimated that PHS will retreat from the historical stage of this life in a year or two at most.

But having said that, although users in this life have lost the feeling of being close to the people brought by PHS, they can immediately enjoy a brand new mobile era brought by Dafeng Group.

On the first day of 3G trial operation, one of the issues that everyone was very concerned about was the price.

From the current point of view, China Mobile Unicom Telecom's pricing for traffic is almost exactly the same, 5 yuan for 30M, 50 yuan for 500M, and 100 yuan for 2G.

Very close to the price when 3G was launched that year.

Among them, Telecom also launched a package that includes time and time, 300 yuan includes 360 hours of online time.

Of course, at the moment, the three major operators are reluctant to launch pure data packages. The packages are all airtime plus data, and if the data is not enough, you can buy them at this price.

And once the talk time is counted, the minimum mobile package costs 68 yuan, 100 minutes of active calls plus 150M traffic plus 100 text messages, and the difference between the other two is not too big.

Students have a special student package, which will be relatively cheaper.

For this 3G tariff, the market generally feels that it is a bit expensive, because the concept of changing from monthly rent to package has just become popular in the past two years, but the package that is popular now is different from the package in later generations. The call is free, and the local caller is two or three cents a minute, and the other places are more expensive. There are SMS packages, 10 yuan and 130, and you can buy it yourself.

Therefore, apart from some business people, more users, especially students, are used to spending twenty or thirty dollars a month. Students are generally reluctant to make calls, so they send text messages.

Suddenly, the minimum package is 68, which makes people feel more expensive. In addition, the minimum package is only 150M traffic, which is not enough.

But there is no way around it. When 3G was just launched, everyone thought it was too expensive, 4G was too expensive, and 5G was also too expensive. Meng Qian has nothing to do with pricing. He can't intervene, but he can make decisions about Dafeng Group's own affairs.

While the topic of 3G is hotly discussed, a trending search about Dafeng Group is gradually rising.

The topic is #风信反流#.

This stuff is not familiar to everyone in later generations, but in 2006, it made everyone think it was amazing, using Fengxin without traffic? Can you still do this? Who pays for the money?

Of course it is from the Gale Group.

In 2006, the country was still unwilling to release licenses, so Dafeng Group was not qualified to engage in such things as Dafeng Card, but the three major operators were willing to cooperate with Dafeng Group to realize free flow of specific applications, which was not technically difficult. Not high, mainly because the price can be negotiated.

Now that 3G has just been released, Meng Qian learned that the operators actually don’t know how to set the price, but it is predictable how much traffic Fengxin will burn every day once it is free of traffic.

In the end, Dafeng Group signed a gradient price list with the operator, paying annually, and paying the corresponding price according to the annual national user traffic usage, with a cap of 100 million.

If calculated according to the traffic price of the user, even if there are 100 million users, if the traffic fee of 1 yuan is spent on Fengxin every month, that is 100 million.

But the problem is that the charging standards given by operators to Dafeng Group are completely different from those paid to individual users.

But if it is really touched, it will be touched, and the Dafeng Group can afford the money.

Now there are only two products that are free of flow, one is Fengxin and the other is Dingding, which cost 200 million yuan a year.

After learning about Fengxin and DingTalk, one can imagine how much netizens liked Meng Qian. There were praises for Meng Qian everywhere on the Internet. I also dug up an interview video of Meng Qian participating in a program last year. .

This is what Meng Qian said in this interview video. Meng Qian said in the video that when users come to my mall to shop, it is impossible for me to ask users to pay a rent. I have to come out.

The first batch of 3G experience users in six cities also expressed their gratitude to Meng Qian with practical actions.

"The first thing to do when you activate 3G is to add all the three-piece diamond and VIP suits for Fengxin members."

"Buy two sets of Fengxin costumes first, and express our thanks."

"My husband is excellent, and I saw the right person."

"Wake up, girl upstairs, Meng Qian is not your husband, he is my father."

In fact, it is more meaningful to free data in this era, because data is expensive at the moment, and the data packages of later generations can easily be more than a dozen G, and mobile often gives 10 G, and no one cares about the data of swiping QQ.

But it’s different now. The traffic from using Fengxin, especially the traffic from calling Fengxin, is quite valuable. And if you use Fengxin voice to make calls, you will save the phone bill. In this era, not only the phone bill is expensive, but also the long-distance roaming fee. But after using Fengxin voice, you don’t need to spend roaming!

As for the operator, although there are fewer callers, there are more people who use data. He can earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of traffic fees from Dafeng Group every year, which is also very good.

More importantly, in fact, 3G has just been launched, and operators have no idea what it will develop into. Everyone wants to quickly develop customers. Fengxin's free flow can boost everyone's demand for 3G, mobile phones Fengxin's promotion is actually tantamount to promoting 3G.

This is a win-win situation, but are there any losers under the win-win situation?

At this time, the chairman of Microsoft Huaxia and Yahoo Huaxia always felt that it was not safe to sit, and eBay and Amazon were still there to comfort them.

However, the fun has only just begun.
