Chapter 146: The war in the field of instant messaging resumes

Time entered the middle of February 01, and the annual Spring Festival came. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

And the Spring Festival of 01 has just ended, and everyone thought that there would be no more waves in the field of instant messaging, but suddenly, the war broke out again!

First of all, the telecommunications bureau officially announced the broadband speed, starting from 01, some people have been able to enjoy the broadband level of 100 to 200k.

A few days after the announcement was made, Sina held a grand press conference at the International Club Hotel in Yanjing.

At this press conference, Wang Zhi, the head of Sina, brought an explosive weapon.

He claimed that Sina and Langma have teamed up to develop an instant voice communication tool similar to Skype, which can achieve low-bitrate VoIP calls as long as the broadband level can reach 100k.

Sina and Langma have put this feature into the UC public beta, and it will be officially launched in a while.

The technology of voice over Internet call is not yet mature in foreign countries, but Sina and Langma have launched this function first, which is a monument in the history of China's Internet!

And just three days later, Bill Gates, the president of Microsoft and the richest man in the world, who is on his seventh trip to China, said in an interview at the International Club Hotel.

Microsoft's next move will be to bring MESSENGER (MSN) to China, bundled with the newly released Windows XP version of the operating system.

Earlier, in North America and Europe, MSN has established a huge lead in the competition with ICQ, the originator of instant messaging, by virtue of the advantages of Windows XP operating system bundling.

As soon as the news received by Bill Gates was announced, it immediately caused a shock among people!

Microsoft's powerful operating system platform is well known, with its absolute monopoly operating system platform, strong financial strength, strong technical research and development level, coupled with hundreds of millions of user bases, these overwhelming advantages make almost every opponent fearful!

And Microsoft's last rival, Envision Browser!

It's the IE browser that is bundled to the Windows XP operating system by Microsoft, and there is no piece of armor left!

Now it's QQ's turn to enjoy this treatment, and people have begun to worry about QQ.

First UC, then MSN, and recently, people have also seen the momentum of the resurgence of war in the field of instant messaging!

In fact, what people expected was right, the war in the field of instant messaging is really burning again in this land of China!

UC's Skype Live Voice was an instant hit when it went live in early March.

It's a low-bitrate VoIP call, but that doesn't stop people from loving it.

Because in the current people's inherent cognition, people who are separated from each other can only achieve voice calls on the phone and mobile phones.

But now, it's also possible on UC chat, which is a game-defying feat!

Of course, Skype VoIP calls also have limitations, requiring 100k broadband, which is not yet available in Internet cafes.

Therefore, at present, only high-end income people can enjoy this service, because they are the only ones who can enjoy the broadband speed provided by the telecommunications bureau.

This made Sina and Langma very happy, because these people are all people with spending power, and they are many times stronger than QQ's young people.

In mid-March, MSN also came strongly, officially adding MSN as an instant messaging software on the newly released Windows XP operating system.

Almost overnight, Microsoft entered the Chinese instant messaging market by relying on the tried-and-true strategy of bundling MSN with the Windows XP operating system.

MSN is aimed at white-collar business people!

In the current context, no company boss is willing to put QQ with entertainment style into the office.

But MSN is different, it is the software that comes with the Windows XP operating system, and the boss of the company can't block it at all.

Therefore, in a short period of time, there was the following scene, when QQ was blocked by almost all companies, MSN ran smoothly in the computers of office workers with a mature, steady, fresh and elegant business style, and won the favor and love of many white-collar users.

First, UC's groundbreaking VoIP call, followed by Microsoft's powerful opponent, facing the front and back attacks of the two major opponents.

According to the media's estimates, Weixin should respond quickly.

But to the surprise of many people, this phenomenon did not occur, and Weixin seemed very calm about it, and Weixin seemed to be calm as if it didn't notice these opponents.

Soon March passed, April passed, and May passed.

While the two rivals of UC and MSN are desperately expanding their territory in the field of instant messaging, QQ still hasn't made any changes.

At the end of May, UC's registered users exceeded 30 million, and the highest number of real-time online users reached 300,000.

Although there are many fewer registered users, only more than 5 million, the highest number of real-time online users in MSN is only a little less than that of UC, reaching 200,000!

At this time, people saw the action of micro-messaging.

A small action.

The QQ emoji feature has been launched!
