Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Dilemma of Yota Communications


Fall in love with you reading the book network 630book, the fastest update of the godfather of the Soviet Union In San Antonio, Texas, Eva left AT&T disappointed, and as soon as he got into his car, he ordered the driver to drive to the airport, and he didn't want to stop for a moment in this desolate state full of deserts.

This time, Eva came to AT&T to visit the top management of YOTA to promote the second-generation mobile communication technology of Yota Communications.

Just a few months ago, Eva once again turned down AT&T's offer to invest, which also cast a shadow over the cooperation between the two companies.

The current YOTA communication seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, some crises have been vaguely exposed.

Although A-Communication's second-generation mobile communication technology is unique in the world and can provide high-quality voice and data transmission services on a global scale, its cost is too high, and there are very few operators in the world who are willing to adopt such expensive infrastructure, and so far only Japanese operators have signed contracts.

AT&T, an old friend of AT&T, at the time of the rise of A, spent tens of billions of dollars on the generation of technology they adopted, and it was almost impossible to adopt newer technology in the short term.

A communication has become the daughter of AT&T, and it is a different matter.

It's not just YotaCommunications' mobile communications business that has been impacted, but YotaCommunications' network solutions are also under threat from competitor Cisco.

With the technical advantages of A.

Communications and the support of AT&T, it can be said that it is firmly in the Diaoyutai, but because of the investment, the cooperation between Eva and AT&T in network technology is not progressing smoothly.

Now it is said that the top management of Cisco has reached the city of San Antonio.

The catty nature is self-evident.

In fact, the American Telegraph and Telephone Company has always hoped to be able to join the board of directors of YOTA Communications, but YOTA Communications really has too many secrets that cannot be said, so although AT&T is full of sincerity, Eva has never let go.

In fact, this kind of one-plus-one cooperation is greater than two, and Eva simply cannot agree to it.

On the way to the airport, a disheartened Eva took out her satellite phone and habitually dialed Seryosha's number, she wanted to have a good talk with Seryosha and vent the unhappiness in her heart.

The phone didn't take long to get through, and Seryosha's voice quickly came from there.

"Seryosha, it seems impossible for us to cooperate with AT&T, and they have proposed that they will never purchase our second-generation mobile communication solutions unless they take a stake in YOTA Communications."

Eva said with a long sigh on the other side of the phone.

"Hey, that's a pity, we just lack such a powerful partner but Eva, it's okay, I plan to take down the British telecom operators in a few days, and we can first establish a European demonstration project of the second generation of mobile communications in the UK."

Seryosha comforted.

"It's not all our own company, it's not fun" Eva didn't plan to let Seryosha spend a lot of money on her own Yota newsletter, because it really didn't give you any sense of accomplishment.

"But Eva, I think we can think about it a different way, it's too troublesome to communicate mobile communication networks in a country like this now, and I think we can build a mobile communication network by ourselves and throw AT&T aside," Seryosha asked thoughtfully.

"Seryosha, you know that is infrastructure investment, not to mention the problem of funds, dinosaurs are afraid that North America alone will require nearly tens of billions of investment, and before the entire network is established, our service will definitely not be able to compete with AT&T, because we can't provide nationwide communication services, in addition to international telecommunications access, all of this requires a huge amount of investment to support, you know, in the United States and even in the world, no one is an opponent of AT&T," Eva objected, he doesn't want Xie Liaosha to let the money go to the water in vain in order to make him happy.

"Is there really no one who is an opponent of AT&T, what are we talking to now?"

Seryosha suddenly asked rhetorically.

"Satellite phone Seryosha I don't understand what you mean, do you want to buy Inmarsat, this is a non-profit organization, they can't accept our acquisition," Eva prompted and thought of the satellite phone service operator, NARSAT, which stands for Inmarsat.

The company uses geo-earth forbidden orbit satellites to provide global call services, but their services are too expensive, not only the call cost is as high as $37 per minute, but the most important thing is that the satellite phone is too expensive, basically the price ranges from 30,000 to tens of thousands of dollars, so the private users of the satellite phone have always been either rich or expensive, and most of the users are from the shipping company for maritime communications.

But this is not a company, but an international organization, which has made a lot of money in its own right, and is not short of money, and it is impossible to allow private acquisitions.

"Eva, I mean, since on the ground we can't compete with AT&T, we're going to move the battlefield into space, like President Reagan's Star Wars, what do you think of us running a global satellite communications network," Seryosha explained to Eva.

"How much money does this cost, is it technically possible" Eva was frightened by Seryosha's plan, he never thought that he could play like this.

"I've learned a little bit about this, but if you want to communicate on a global scale, you need about 77 satellites, which is the same number of electrons as the iridium atom.

I think we'll call this company Iridium," Seryosha said over the phone.

In fact, he had not known about it before, but the failure of Iridium would be widely disseminated as a classic business failure in a few decades, so Seryosha was impressed by the plan that originated from Motorola.

Moreover, Seryosha is a top student in the Department of Chemistry at Moscow University, how many electrons does iridium have, it is not just a matter of opening his mouth, as long as there are 77 satellites, then find someone to understand the cost of launch and development, and it will be clear how much investment is needed for the whole project, according to Seryosha's plan, the entire project should be about the same as the cost of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company using a generation of communication technology, but once the Iridium system is formally established, mobile communication will directly enter the era of global communications.
