If you want to burn up the Internet, you need a lot of beautiful knives as firewood. This is true for the Internet in America and the same is true for the domestic Internet.

Is the Internet industry making money now? Of course it is impossible. Double Click Company is still the only Internet company in the Internet industry that has achieved break-even. Other companies like Yahoo, Netscape, and AOL are losing more.

Song Yang alone will definitely not be able to burn up the domestic Internet pot, but coupled with Yahoo and Silicon Valley Venture Capital, it will be enough.

Song Yang knocked on the wine glass in his hand, attracting everyone's attention, "I'm glad that everyone can come. Here today, we all hope that America's Internet industry can have order, standards, and rules.

Not malicious competition in chaos!"

Of course, I have to say it in a beautiful way. No matter which industry it is, once an association appears, it basically means that when it comes time to cut leeks, those who join the industry first will cut the leeks later.

"Of course, Netscape also hopes that the Internet can appear in an orderly manner and that all companies can abide by the rules!" When Marc Andreessen said this, he glanced at Todd, who came on behalf of Microsoft, obviously implying that Microsoft would not follow the rules.

Wude, engaging in malicious monopolistic competition in the browser industry.

Todd, who was being looked at by Anderson, didn't care. It was true that Microsoft wanted to establish the rules of the Internet, but the premise was that Microsoft could get enough benefits from these rules, at least in the browser industry, to give Netscape

Get down.

Seeing that Netscape and Microsoft were fighting dog-eat-dog again, Song Yang quickly changed the subject, which really caused the two sides to quarrel, even if they didn't have to quarrel until the end of the year. This kind of life-and-death matter, if you can rely on reasoning, you can talk about it.

If you win, then there's no need to start a war.

"Tomorrow we will start voting on the establishment of the America Internet Association. I hope that your company can support this resolution!"

Many people will be present tomorrow, including Bill Gates, AOL President Case, and some powerful figures related to the Internet industry, professors, and media. It is basically the most important conference since the rise of the Internet in America, and it is also the most important conference.

A meeting to determine the status of the world.

Song Yang glanced at the crowd, "There are two things today. The first thing is who will occupy the position of the Management Committee of the America Internet Association!"

An association must have a management committee, and being on the management committee means having the right to share the cake. The companies coming today are definitely not here to watch a show. They all want to be in the American Internet Association.

Got a piece of cake.

"The second thing is that if the American Internet Association can be established tomorrow, the management authority and rule formulation of the Internet Association need to be established. The American Internet Association must represent Silicon Valley and all Internet companies and make its own voice!"

After hearing this, the expressions of Jim Clark, Coog and others immediately became subtle. They obviously also thought about what kind of trick Song Yang was trying to play.

Now that the Internet has just emerged, even in America, there are no perfect laws and industry systems, let alone other emerging markets. It can almost be said that there is no prohibition by law. The crazy development of the Internet is also related to the lack of restraint.

Because there is no American law that can restrain the Internet industry!

The current situation involves a sensitive issue: who has the final say in the American Internet industry’s right to speak, and who has the right to interpret the industry’s rights?

Whether America's Federal Communications Commission has the final say, whether the Trade Commission has the qualifications, or whether the federal Department of Justice has direct control, is not yet decided. After all, the scope of the Internet is too wide.

Now, although Song Yang has not said it directly, people like Kugel and Jim Clark who have experienced great storms have thought of another possibility, which is to encircle the city and form their own associations for American Internet companies to formulate their own regulations.

rule!

When they thought of this, Kruger, Jim Clark, Yang Zhiyuan, Leonsis and others looked at each other. They did not expect that Song Yang was going to play so big this time.

"Everyone must have seen the situation of Double Click Company. I want to say that Double Click Company is not the only company that has been treated unfairly. There will be a second and third company in the future. The American Internet Association was established

After that, you need to make your own voice heard!”

Song Yang said to the crowd that how this thing can make its "own" voice is nothing more than lobbying. The military-industrial complex, pharmaceutical consortium, etc. are the best at this. Through various lobbying, Congress passed a large number of

A bill that benefits military industry and pharmaceutical conglomerates.

After the establishment of the American Internet Association, it was natural that it would play the same trick. Through lobbying, it would promote bills that benefit the Internet. At least it would take away the interpretation power of the Internet industry from the Trade Commission and other institutions, so that the Internet in America would not be subject to the constraints of Egypt.

A La Cherry kind of person!

Otherwise, if there is a person who wants to kill Double Click and other companies, and constantly promotes bills against Double Click and Song Yang, it will be really uncomfortable. Only a person who commits a thief for a thousand days, there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days.

"I hope that after the establishment of the America Internet Association, we can promote bills on Internet advertising, Internet speech, and Internet content, etc., and pass them in Congress!"

"America Internet Association, the first bill to be introduced on Capitol Hill is the Internet Freedom and Family Empowerment Act. Internet companies should not be responsible for third-party information on the platform, and should also have the right to delete information on the platform.

Part!"

Song Yang directly introduced the famous Bill 230, preparing to serve as the first battle after the establishment of the American Internet Association. Let Congress pass this bill, which can be called the talisman of the Internet industry and determine the status of the American Internet Association in the industry!

When they heard that Song Yang wanted the Internet Association to introduce this bill to the Capitol, the people who had been hesitant just now suddenly felt their hearts beating. As Internet companies, they knew the meaning of this bill very well.

A gold medal is not an exaggeration.

Think about it, there are all kinds of monsters and monsters on major websites now. Most of them are normal people, but there are also a lot of lunatics who will make some crazy remarks. If the website is also jointly and severally liable, even if it is not necessary

Punished to bankruptcy.

And if this bill is passed, then no matter who or what they say on the website, it will have nothing to do with the Internet company, and at least they will not be prosecuted or fined.

Song Yang glanced at the crowd. Kugel, who represented Yahoo, Jim Clark, and AOL's Lyonsi, all nodded to express their support. It's strange that they don't support this bill.

"I need to report to President Bill Gates, but in principle, Microsoft supports lobbying for this bill on Capitol Hill!" Todd said somewhat reservedly.

Hearing Todd's words, Marc Andreessen rolled his eyes. This is a typical example of setting up a memorial arch after being a fool. Microsoft is afraid that its reputation will be even worse, so it is still trying to hide it.

Song Yang nodded. If the Internet Association can be established in the future, it will be a card in Song Yang's hand. And with people like Ella Cherry and Winslow, Song Yang can use the Internet Association to disgust the opponent.

, not without the power to fight back!

"If the American Internet Association is established tomorrow, I propose that Yang Zhiyuan be the first president!"

This was the result of a long-term dispute between Netscape and Microsoft. No matter whether it was Bill Gates or Marc Andreessen who became the first president of the Internet Society, both sides were dissatisfied, and in the end they had to take advantage of Yahoo.

When he heard that Yang Zhiyuan was appointed as the president, Yahoo President Coog couldn't help but smile on his face. Becoming the president of the American Internet Association will undoubtedly make Yang Zhiyuan's Bigger even better!

"Andreessen and Bill Gates, as vice presidents of the Internet Society..."

This is basically dividing the cake. The positions of the Internet Society's management committee and various major departments are basically divided by people from several companies.

Song Yang became one of the presidents of the Internet Association, but the three major departments of the American Internet Association, including legal affairs, finance, and patents, were all taken over by Song Yang and left to Greg, Marcus and others. These are all Internet

The most important department of the association.

After all, the American Internet Association was proposed by Song Yang. No matter what, we must let Song Yang get the majority. Otherwise, it would be in vain. Taking charge of the three major departments of legal affairs, patents, and finance is equivalent to letting Song Yang take control.

The American Internet Association's War Rights.

The voting day for the establishment of the American Internet Association only started the next day, but the cake has already been divided. The positions and candidates for the president, vice president, and chairman of the major departments have already been established. Companies like lycos and other companies can still

To share the pie, other small Internet companies come to participate in the Internet Association's vote, which is basically a process.

As the most important gathering since the rise of the Internet wave in America, this time all major Internet companies in America have basically expressed their participation. Everyone knows that this party is not prepared for them, but they still have to act as extras.

Play the show well.

The future America Internet Association will be like the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild and the Directors Guild. It may not be useful at all, but it is the first step to enter Hollywood. At least get a "registration" before you can be considered a member of the industry. Otherwise, the first step is to get into the industry.

It’s hard to move forward, let alone become famous in the future. For Internet companies, joining the Internet Society in the future will also be the first step, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward!

Early in the morning, media and reporters from all walks of life from Silicon Valley flocked to the San Jose Convention Center, wanting to use their cameras to record today.

After the establishment of the America Internet Association, no one can say what significance it will have for Internet companies and countless Internet users, but everyone knows that today will be an important day.

When a car arrived at the conference center and Internet upstarts arrived, the atmosphere at the scene continued to rise. Reporters on the scene and the TV stations broadcasting the event were also constantly reporting.
