Chapter 2 Compromise and Game
Although it was 1987, and it is not Kaiser who gave birth to the foundation of the Internet in advance, the current Internet is only the interconnection between some scientific research institutions or military institutions, and has not yet reached the civilian level of global connectivity.
At present, the biggest problem affecting the popularization of the Internet is that the hardware facilities such as cables and servers cannot keep up, and the second is that the popularity of personal PCs is far from reaching the scale after the 90s.
Personal PCs are still a luxury in the current United States, except for government departments and some enterprises that must use PCs to help with offices, the coverage of personal PCs to families is very low.
Caesar is happy with the situation, as it gives him more time to lay it out.
The construction of the cable, the U.S. government will hand over to those telephone companies to bid, and it has little to do with Caesar.
The development of servers and the popularization of personal PCs are too valuable for Caesar.
How do I build a primary root server that manages global Internet addresses and domain names?
How do I build a sub-server that can build network nodes?
How to minimize the cost of servers and personal PCs? No one knows this knowledge better than Caesar.
In front of Caesar, who has a database of past lives, Microsoft, Apple and IBM are not good, and the rising stars Dell and HP are even worse.
None of these things are advanced knowledge, just like the light bulb, they all know that if you find a material, you can continue to glow when you use electricity. This theoretical basis has been there for a long time, but what exactly is needed? It takes a lot of time to figure it out, a little bit of trying to eliminate it.
This analogy may not be accurate, but Microsoft and IBM can build a server or even a primary root server according to various protocols and standards published by Kaiser for free, but the cost and the level and quality of the server are maddening.
Sell the products in the experimental stage as finished products in the mass production stage or even promote them in large quantities? This is a joke for researchers in any country.
On July 4, 1987, the day of Independence Day, Kaiser announced:
"The world's first primary root server was born, and with it, 12 child root servers were born."
and Caesar announced the formation of the Inter-Corporation-For-Assigned-Names-AndNumbers, or ICANN.
In a further explanation, Caesar explained that this is a non-profit organization whose role is to determine the trade-offs of Internet technology, the development of network communication protocols, the allocation of domain names and IP addresses, the registration and sale of domain names, and the development of related policies.
The establishment of such an organization aims to unify the network protocols and network interfaces developed by various real rooms around the world, and if each real room in each country does its own thing in terms of network interfaces and transmission protocols, then the global interconnection will always stay on the literal side.
Caesar cordially invites all countries that want to participate in the cause of global interconnection to be represented at ICANN in order to provide oversight of ICANN's day-to-day operations.
Caesar's reason for doing this is simple: his World Wide Web is free, just like the inventor made it in the first place, which is a headache for other companies that want to make money with similar things.
After all, not everyone accepts the Internet spirit of "free and share", and capitalists want to make money.
Something that is free and ultimately proven harmless is always in demand, so Caesar's name as the father of global connectivity has been confirmed in a short period of time.
Sure enough, CERN, located on the border between France and Switzerland, immediately consulted with Kaiser, and after negotiation, it was determined in August that the first sub-root server would be located in an office building belonging to CERN in Switzerland.
Immediately after that, Caesar announced the home of the primary root server and each child root server:
As the inventor of the server, the taproot server was of course built in the basement of the FFF company in Tampa Bay with Caesar.
Among the main servers, the No. 1 sub-root server is part of the Swiss-French border with CERN and is used to serve the European continent.
Server 2 is located in London, UK, and is mainly used to serve the UK and ancillary services to the European continent.
Server 3 is located in Hong Kong and serves Asia. Interestingly, Ben once fought for the ownership of this server, but was rejected by Caesaron Guò who lobbied the US Congress.
Caesar said that a small incident in 1987 refers to the fact that the United States sent a signal that it would punish Ben, and a fine of more than 300 million yuan was just a warning in advance.
Caesar took advantage of this preparation period for the United States to start his own business, and after this village, there would be no such shop.
In fact, the ownership of the sub-root server is really not a project that people can be proud of, and I am so anxious to grab it only because of their current inflated psychology.
Since he dared to shout the slogan of buying the other party's Statue of Liberty to the suzerain, it is conceivable how crazy he has been.
The fact that the taproot server does not land in the capital makes them feel disgraced, but there is no way, the taproot server was born in the United States, and if it is moved to operate abroad, the American people still do not agree to it.
Therefore, I think that except for the No. 1 sub-root server, the other sorts are not in line with the current identity of the book.
The end result was disappointing...... It was said that Ben was left out.
Server 4, Caesar, is located in Sydney and is responsible for the Internet infrastructure throughout the southern hemisphere.
The remaining servers are located in the United States and are responsible for the secondary primary root server overseeing the world's Internet services.
Caesar put a lot of effort into the birth of the Internet, starting with negotiations with the U.S. government.
As the birthplace of the Internet, the U.S. government wants to nationalize it.
This is not to say how sinister the United States is, and that the government will make that choice in any country.
The benefits of computers are already being felt, and no one knows what can be done by combining these computers.
After all, no visionary person could have predicted the heights of the Internet from 1987 to 2015, except for those who have passed through the rebirth, but the overall upward trend of the Internet in the future is foreseen by most people.
After all, both the White House think tank and the RAND Corporation, known as the "American think tank," are infinitely optimistic about the future of the Internet, which makes the White House make the best judgment that any government would make.
The reality is that almost all industries in the United States, with the exception of post offices and some hospitals, are privately owned, and even public safety departments such as police and fire departments have been called for privatization because of various problems.
In the United States, it can be said that except for the military, which can be said to be state-owned, other enterprises can see the shadow of privatization in a more or less overt or covert way.
It is this one that Caesar grasped, and the nationalization of the Internet is unconstitutional!
In the words of Caesar's complaint in Congress:
"I, Kaisa Lee, have been a non-profit organization for a long time. You guys are even thinking about nationalization!?
Is this still the United States of America? What is the constitution that says I must surrender ICANN? Is this still the land of freedom? The sages of Philadelphia are crying!
If there is a risk that anything good can be nationalized at any time, then I, Caesar Lee, can responsibly tell you that there will be the greatest wave of immigration in the United States since 1776, emigration abroad! ”
At the age of 19, Caesar made such a bold statement at the congressional hearing because the White House was unconstitutional.
Caesar seized on this lever and frantically lobbied Republican conservatives, a strategy that now appears to have been successful.
Caesar originally upheld the values of the center and right, identified with struggle, advocated the importance of the family, opposed the stirring up of foundations, opposed abortion, opposed pornography, gambling, drugs, and liked small government and big society.
Paradoxically, at the same time, he has great sympathy for the poor, so he agrees with the rich paying more taxes, agreeing with universal health insurance, and favoring improving the welfare of the poor.
Therefore, from the outside world, Caesar is a particularly contradictory person, and he has always been the object of common struggle between the two factions.
Caesar's ability to make money has been recognized by people around the world who know his Caesar name, so both sides of Congress want to pull the big donor into their camp.
How do they know that Caesar, the reborn who has crossed through the previous life, dare not say that he is pure silk, at least there is still a long way to go from Gao Fushuai.
He knew that the spirit of struggle was certainly right, but he also knew that many times it was pointless to fight with all his might.
The starting line is different from person to person, and this cannot be denied by anyone.
Whether it is birth, intelligence, or other talents, there are many differences in human beings.
In the face of these differences, hard work can often only be done with a clear conscience.
It's important to choose the right path and find your strengths, but if everyone can find the right path, can everyone find their strengths? Again, the previous individual differences are at play.
Therefore, Caesar's conservative values come from the universality of traditional Chinese culture, but the sympathy for the poor comes from the kind nature and the quasi-silk identity of the previous life.
This time, there is a feeling that the White House's way of doing things may have pushed Caesar into the Republican camp once and for all.
In fact, the current head of the White House, "Reagan," is a member of the Republican faction, but this does not mean that he agrees with all the ideas of the ultra-conservative forces of the Republican faction.
In fact, the extremist forces in the two factions of the donkey elephant in the United States cannot hold the presidency, because Masaji is the art of compromise. Knowing no compromise, blindly going to extremes, and endless confrontation will not make the country move up.
Reagan, as a republican, was "left" on the Internet.
As a result, it was not only attacked head-on by the Minzhuo faction, but also by the extremist forces within the republican faction, and in the end, the proposal for nationalization was not resolved.
If you want to rely on the antitrust law to deal with ICANN, it is even more nonsense, and non-profit organizations have a monopoly on eggs!
Using an antitrust investigation to deal with Caesar's FFF company seems to be reliable, but it will completely tear the face.
And Caesar tearing face? According to the think tank's analysis, Caesar does not currently have a zài to hinder the development of the United States, at least not yet.
The United States has always been such a pragmatist country that they could help Boeing merge McDonnell Douglas, even if the world accused it of violating the principles of liberal economics.
They can also do something to Microsoft, just because Microsoft's "de facto monopoly" has hindered the development of the IT industry.
