Chapter 107: Music Sharing Sites
Amid the applause of the crowd, Henry slowly walked up to the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the press conference on the CDMA Web Standards, I'm Henry Williams. It is an honour for me to be here to host such a significant launch. After months of hard work, the CDMA network standard has finally been developed. As we all know, most of the major wireless communication technologies nowadays use TDMA time division multiple access, and even G** in Europe also uses TDMA. However, the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) launched by Qualcomm, a subsidiary of Cisco, is more advanced and mature in spread spectrum communication technology! TDMA needs 10 base stations to cover the range, and we only need 2 TDMA. Who's superior and who's inferior, I'm sure everyone can see it at a glance!!"
Henry paused, snapped his fingers at the staff, and then the computer projection screen behind him lit up, showing a map of the United States!
Henry pointed to the map and said: "Everyone, please see, the red dot marked above will be the first base station pilot we opened, a total of 1,000, mainly distributed in Washington, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other major cities in the United States and surrounding towns." At the same time, it won't be long before the mobile phone manufacturers we work with will launch the corresponding CDMA mobile phones. If this pilot is successful, the United States will fully promote the CDMA network!! by then, CDMA mobile phone users can not only enjoy clearer sound quality, but also can make calls anytime and anywhere without hindrance, without worrying about the problem of whether there is a signal, because CDMA technology is currently the world's widest communication coverage of the technology !!"
Bang Bang Bang !!!
Applause rang out!
Henry smiled slightly, waiting for the reporter's question.
The Washington Post: "Mr. Williams, the G** communications network has become popular in Europe, and it is said that the cost of building a G** network is several times cheaper than that of CDMA. What do you think about this? Do you think G** is good or CDMA is good?!"
Henry replied: "In terms of technology, the technology of CDMA is far more powerful than G**, and it has more development prospects! But in terms of construction cost, G** does have an advantage." So, for now, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. But I believe that sooner or later G** will be eliminated from the CDMA!!"
Los Angeles Times: "Mr. Williams, what kind of licensing approach does Qualcomm's CDMA technology take?"
"There are two licensing methods we use, one is to directly sell mobile phone chips, and the other is to license technology and collect patent fees!" Henry smiled and said, "In order to be able to make Qualcomm's own chips, Qualcomm has even acquired ARM, a very excellent chip design company in the United Kingdom! I believe that there will be countless manufacturers who are more willing to buy our communication chips directly!"
……
……
The day after the press conference, newspapers in the United States praised and supported CDMA's communication technology, while newspapers in Europe sang the praises of CDMA and vigorously advocated the G** network.
For a time, there was a war of words between American newspapers and European newspapers!!
And the people loved to read this, so the sales of newspapers increased greatly. However, the public is also watching the excitement, and it is difficult for them to understand and realize the impact behind this incident and how much impact it will have on the field of wireless communication!
Traditional wireless communication will be gradually replaced by G** and CDMA!
In the end, the winner is only between G** and CDMA!
The competition between G** and CDMA is actually a competition between European and American power!!
The standard of GSM is European, and the standard of CDMA is American!!

Shortly after the press conference, Henry said to Qualcomm CEO Owen Jacob: "Arrange for ARM to move its headquarters to the United States as soon as possible, and set up an office in the United Kingdom! ARM moves to the United States, which can speed up the research and development of Qualcomm's CDMA communication chips! In addition, ARM is cooperating with Apple, and it will be more convenient to move over!"
"Okay, I'll wait!" Owen Jacob nodded.
After saying this, Henry left Qualcomm. Then I went to Silicon Valley Electronics Group Company,MP3 has been made,A rough look,It looks like a slightly larger matchbox,There is a square LCD screen in the center of the front,After turning on,It shows a simple playback interface。 The size of the flash memory of MP3 is even more crumbling, not a single trillion, and I barely put a piece of MP3 music with a size of only 50kb into it.
It's just an MP3 that looks like it's a scrappy patchwork, but it's the work of a lot of effort! Of that, the cost alone is as high as $300.
Such a product will definitely not be launched on the market. But what Henry wants is not to be the first to launch the market, but to be the first to register a patent!
If you encircle the land, Henry won't have to hurry......
In addition, there is too little music in MP3 format, MP3 products have been developed, if there is no MP3 song, what is the use of eggs?
Therefore, on the one hand, Henry asked Silicon Valley Electronics Group to improve MP3, and on the other hand, he planned to develop a music sharing website to collect music in various MP3 formats on the Internet for users to download and listen!
Subsequently, Henry created a new company called "Tiantian Music Company", which set up an MP3 music sharing website with the domain name "www.MP3.com", and set up a 20-person R&D team to start developing a music website.
As a person with status, how embarrassed is Henry to play piracy? That would be too embarrassing...... Therefore, Henry's original plan was to cooperate with major record companies around the world to obtain their record network rights.
And now there are some MP3 music on the Internet, but these are free pirated copies, produced and uploaded by a group of music lovers, whose purpose is only to share the music, but it hurts the interests of major record companies. Think about it, if everyone goes to listen to music on the Internet, who will buy records? The major record companies have jointly boycotted MP3 pirated music, but instead of banning pirated music, pirated music has developed more vigorously!
The major record companies hated MP3 music on the Internet, and Henry sent people to talk about cooperation, and he also specialized in MP3 music sharing websites...... As you can imagine, how can there be good fruit to eat?
All the men sent by Henry were gone.
After failing in the first battle, Henry summed up his experience and finally came to a conclusion: There is a long way to go to establish an MP3 music sharing website! However, since the major record companies are unwilling to cooperate, it seems that they can only play pirated copies, which you are forced to do......
