Chinese efforts to join the Inter have been going on for a long time, and although the slogan of the Internet is equality and freedom, the United States has always opposed China's entry into the Internet.

Every line connected to the Beijing exit has to be carefully checked, and the United States has also restricted the export of routers to China, because the U.S. government is worried that China will grab a lot of information and technological achievements from the Internet, so it has put forward harsh conditions to prevent China from connecting with the United States, and after the special line is opened. The U.S. government also has a lot of scientific and technical information and other resources on Inter. On the grounds that socialist countries cannot be allowed to connect, only the special line is allowed to enter the US energy grid and cannot be connected to other places. Do not distribute viruses and do not use Inter in military and commercial applications.

Nevertheless. The 64K line is still the first in China to connect to some Inter locations, allowing hundreds of scientists to use e-mail in China.

Taking the opportunity of the NCFC project connecting to the Inter international private line, China and Inter are in full contact.

May. China's networking work has been completed. The government recognized Inter's entry into China, and the Chinese web domain name was finalized as CN.

In fact, prior to this, China's contacts with the Inter had been ongoing since October 1990. On behalf of China, Professor Qian Tianbai registered China's top-level domain name CN, the predecessor of the International Internet Network Information Center, DDNNI, and since then has opened an international e-mail communication service using the China top-level domain name CN.

But. China's CN top-level domain name servers have been placed abroad. It wasn't until this year, May 21, 1994, that it was completely changed. Professor Qian Tianbai completed the setup of the national top-level domain (CN) server at the Computer Network Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

However, Fan Wuxian also received a message. That is, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has reached a consensus with the U.S. Department of Commerce, and has signed an agreement with an American company to prepare for the commercialization of the Inter network, and the specific operation should be that the General Administration of Telecommunications should establish two 64K ground private lines, which will be set up in Beijing and Shanghai respectively.

"Sooner rather than later! Looks like I'm going to have to hurry! Fan Wuxian thought about the movement of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, although it was relatively slow. But by the time of next year, the network will be pulled up. It's better to do it yourself earlier.

The good thing is that the Internet is just a meaningless new thing for ordinary people now. And there are very few people who know how to use this thing, if it is only used to send emails or something. It is really not very useful, and the reason why the domestic government will introduce this project is because other countries have it. You can't live without it, how shameless is that?

In the U.S., although people are very enthusiastic about Inter, the use of it is limited to sending and receiving e-mails and chatting on BBS. After all, it is crucial for web applications to be launched next year. IE, which has brought the application of the Internet into the lives of ordinary people, has not yet been integrated into the indos system.

Although the U.S. government is very optimistic about the future of network applications, they expect that it will be ten to twenty years before large-scale adoption occurs, and no one can predict that there will be a network boom in a few years. And it has led to the rapid development of the new economy. Since then, mankind has entered the information age.

At present, Fan Wuxian is focusing on two aspects, one is to keep an eye on the actions of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and it is necessary to keep an eye on the actions of Microsoft. Let's see when they will be launched.

Once bundled with IE browser, the system comes out strongly. Then the age of the Internet has truly arrived.

Thinking of this, Fan Wuxian immediately talked to Boss Zhu on the phone, saying that he wanted to go to Beijing to talk about the establishment of a network service company.

"I learned about this, and the education and research network and the business network are currently under construction. However, there are very few users, they are all government agencies, and there are very few people who know this. Basically, it is in the stage of being poor and white. "Boss Zhu obviously has already understood the situation in this regard, so he asked Fan Wuxian with some hesitation." But the investment in building a new network is enormous. Are you sure you're going to do it yourself? ”

"Well, this thing is definitely going to be done. At least I need this in the provincial branches. At the same time, I can also provide access to the network to other individuals or enterprises in need. Fan replied with great certainty, "And there is also an advantage, that is, I intervene in the name of the company." Americans will ease restrictions appropriately. There are some things that are easier to solve, such as some resources that the government does not have access to at the moment. They may be open to us. ”

What the government can't do, but private enterprises can do? Boss Zhu was a little puzzled by Fan Wuxi's proposal. So I asked him why.

"The Internet was originally used for military purposes, but later the Americans felt that this thing had a promising future. That's why we're opening up the web standards. His goal is clear to allow networks around the world to join in. It is to unify the world's network standards. In order to achieve the goal of controlling the global information industry. ”

"So you say. Is that why not to join the Inter network system? After Boss Zhu listened to Fan Wuji's words. I hesitated a little. "The Americans control the network. Will it pose a hidden danger to our country's information security? Suppose they use this channel to obtain our domestic economic and military intelligence. Aren't we in trouble then? ”

"This risk exists!" For this issue. Fan did not deny it, but affirmed it, but he then added. "But there's a good saying. The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes! With our current economic strength and scientific and technological strength. Do you need to worry about what intelligence the Americans are stealing from us?! To put it mildly. The United States is more than 30 years ahead of us in terms of comprehensive national strength. In this case. Even if we have any information stolen, we will take advantage of it! Not to mention. Critically military intelligence and economic intelligence. You wouldn't leak it out so easily, would you? As long as the resource is not online. What can the Americans do to steal from the network? ”

"That's right!" Boss Zhu nodded. felt that Fan Wuxian was also very reasonable, and finally said. "Then you have to work hard. Come to Beijing, I'll talk to you. Put this thing into practice. ”

"Good!" Fan Wuxian agreed to come down.

Among the senior executives of the headquarters, Davis and Shen Manhua were brought, and more than a dozen technical personnel were also brought in, and a working group of 25 people was formed together with several staff members of Fan Ting's company who had been in contact with network technology in the United States. Go to Beijing in person.

Boss Zhu also attaches great importance to this. More than a dozen experts were recruited to prepare for the country's inland information network, as well as Vice Minister Ye Mingxuan, head of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Director Zhang of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and others.

At present, the qualitative issue of the Internet in China is not clear. In general, this thing has always relied on telephone lines for signal transmission at this stage, so the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications considers itself to have jurisdiction and pricing power. Everything that is transmitted on the basis of a network of telephone lines should be in your own hands.

The State Council also does not have a clear understanding of this, and since the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications believes that this new thing should be under their jurisdiction, it is normal for this piece of land to be assigned to them. After all, others do not know as much about network technology and communication technology as the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

But if he does this, it is not in the interests of Fan Wuji, he has to do it. If he needs to be led by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, he will play the role of a network enlightener similar to that of Yinghaiwei back then, and finally act as cannon fodder first. So what's in it for you?

The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications only needs to make a price change. You can let the Internet edifice that you have worked so hard to build collapse in an instant, and become a yellow flower of yesterday.

It was absolutely impossible for Fan Wuxian to let this happen, so he had to do it first. It is to correct the minds of the people and transform the control of this new thing into a purely commercial one. And not what the Ministry of Posts and Communications' confination.

Boss Zhu took the time to attend the meeting. After introducing the participants from both sides. He told everyone, "The Internet is a new thing, and it is unknown whether the ground in front of us is a minefield or a diamond mine. But in terms of input. Nowadays, it is very difficult to reach the private sector. As the government side. I also hope that someone will stand up and try this new thing. So Mr. Fan stood up. He hopes to fund the construction of a backbone network of landlords in key cities in China and to make contacts with the United States in a private capacity. In order to dispel the problem of online discrimination against us by Americans today, we are holding a symposium on this issue. Let me know what you think. ”

After Boss Zhu's voice fell, everyone's expressions were the same, and no one wanted to be this bird. After all, as Boss Zhu said. What exactly is in front of you. It's not clear to everyone. If you take it rashly. The impact on one's own future is incalculable.

If the thing is done, you are the hero, if the thing fails. Then it's stinky shit.

Everyone is a person with a certain status. Is it worth the risk?

"I don't agree with companies bypassing our regulation. Self-developed Internet services! "But there's always a need for someone to talk to. First of all, open up. It is an expert named Wang Luochuan under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

There are no pop-ups
