"The hourly billing model is US$1 per hour, with a cap of US$200...the 50-hour package is US$45, and the 100-hour package is US$75..."

Gregory looked at the detailed reports about this cloud system.

Of course, the system itself did not have much appeal to Gregory.

But among them, one item is very tempting, video on demand!!

The company has reached an agreement with Hollywood, so with the video point, if you want to watch any movie, you only need to sit at home and click the mouse comfortably, and everything will be done.

And because it can replace the wired network, such a plan immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Gregory is no exception.

However, as soon as this news came out, it caused an earthquake.

This earthquake was not caused among the people, but caused a sensation in the radio and television industry.

Catherine's move was undoubtedly a hard blow on their heads - it was undoubtedly digging up their roots!

But the development of things made these people a little dizzy.

Immediately afterwards, at a time when no one could react, NBC announced that it had reached a strategic cooperation decision with Ark Group, and they would join the alliance to operate the cloud system.

This method quickly allowed everyone to discover a new way to make money operating cloud systems.

To put it bluntly, the cloud system is much more convenient than traditional closed-circuit television. Such a product is not only equivalent to having an Xbox game console, but also equivalent to having a VCD jukebox!

Well, although on-demand broadcasting also costs money.

In any case, such a system does make people feel better than traditional closed-circuit television.

Of course, Catherine also worked hard on this aspect.

Because the United States uses ntsc signals, which are not directly compatible with computer systems, Kaiseshe played a trick here.

The so-called ntsc system, each frame of the full-screen image has 525 horizontal lines. These lines are arranged from left to right and from top to bottom. Every other line jumps. So each complete frame needs to be scanned twice.

Screen: The first scan is for odd-numbered lines, and the other scan is for even-numbered lines. Each half-frame screen scan takes 1/60 seconds: a full frame scan takes 1/30 seconds.

The computer image standard used by Catherine is vga, which has a resolution of 640x480 and a frequency of 50hz. The resolution is smaller than the requirements of ntsc, but the scanning time of each frame is also 1/50 second.

So it is definitely incompatible.

At this time, Catherine adopted another plan.

Catherine's monitor originally used the D-sub interface proposed by IBM in the future - of course, it is commonly known as VGA.

This interface outputs RGB signals, which is the kind that IBM was cheated by Catherine.

Of course, Catherine also knew that this kind of signal would definitely not work, so she adopted another method - inputting the video signal through another line, that is, inputting the color difference signal.

The system transmission in this system uses Catherine's optical fiber.

When the user requests a video, the computer will automatically convert the input signal from cga to color difference, so there is no problem at all here.

Although a bit complicated, Catherine's product is indeed more tempting than the original product.

Catherine does not intend to operate the cloud system alone, because it involves a system of interests. This system is not as pure as AT&T's phone system, but involves the interests of all aspects, so Catherine adopts

The trick is not to eat alone.

Share your cake with others, let them see that your piece of cake is bigger than their original one, and let them run away from the less delicious cream cake in their hands and come towards your own fruit cream cake.

…

And there is another reason why Catherine did this, that is, through the hands of these people, she can popularize her Internet faster.

I thought that what such a cloud system uses is Catherine's Internet. If I do this, I can spread the cost. This is undoubtedly a good thing for me.

And one of the most convenient benefits is that it avoids antitrust investigations.

Catherine has confidence in her cloud system. As long as such a system continues to develop, it will change the pattern of the world sooner or later.

At that time, if Catherine's cloud system can withstand the industry's counterattack and successfully take over, it will inevitably be split up, and it is hard to say what will happen at that time.

Instead of doing this, Catherine thought of a more convenient and safer way, which was to seek an agent.

American Unicom has now established a firm foothold. What this company will do next depends on them.

Of course, Catherine is not planning to tear up the high-definition now regarding the IP phone calls between General Electric and Catherine. Because this matter involves another strong enemy, that is, the legendary AT&T.

For them, mobile phones may be an object of ridicule, but if Catherine really invents an IP phone, what may happen next will be beyond Catherine's expectations.

"Cloud system..."

At this moment, there was another enemy that Catherine had not expected, and she was very anxious at this time.

At this time, Akio Morita and Ibuka were probably defeated by Catherine.

Not only the two of them, but the entire Japanese television industry was also anxious by Catherine's move.

Catherine's cloud system is indeed very effective, but it also means that Catherine's products will occupy some of the market of previous products. This also means that TV sets produced by Japanese manufacturers are likely to be affected by this.

This leads to a lot of problems. In short, all the TV market they have worked so hard to occupy will be meaningless!

"Have you discovered anything about the cloud system?"

As soon as he received the news, Akio Morita immediately asked people to investigate Catherine's matters related to the cloud system and the ITV.

"Hi~ We found out that Apple has applied for a new patent in image processing. This patent seems to be related to the recent cloud system."

"patent……?"

Akio Narita frowned.

If it's a patent, that would be troublesome. Before that, Akio Narita didn't care that much about this matter. Although they also found out about Catherine's manuscript and sent it to an operator in Texas, they didn't expect them.

They actually created a "TV that is not a TV". If you say it is a TV, in fact, this product does not comply with the NTSC standard. If not, it can play movies.

"It's very cheap..." $299?

What is this concept?

At this price in Japan, you can only buy one-third of the TV sets! And these TV sets are still old models!

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Japanese manufacturers themselves earn several times their profits. In fact, if their TVs are sold to Catherine's level, they will not lose money at all.

As a result, Japanese manufacturers used the extra profits to begin to rob the American market.

Since the early 1960s, the Japanese have almost completely occupied the American television market. At this time, the Japanese are ready to start making money from the Americans.

But it happened to be at this time that Catherine developed the current cloud system and the ITV video on demand!

Everyone has noticed the value of this. If video on demand can be developed, it can kill almost all current TVs!

"No, we can't just give up." Akio Narita suddenly thought of something: "Has their ITV registered in Japan?"

"Well, we checked ITV's trademark registration. Not only us, but also the United Kingdom, China, and Italy have all registered ITV's trademark."

Akio Narita patted his head. He was so naive just now that he wanted to register Catherine's trademark. It seemed impossible.

"You guys go down first." After letting them leave, Akio Narita found his good friend Ibuka.

"How should we look at what these Americans have done now?" Akita Narita asked hurriedly.

"A fatal blow." Because Sony finally paid off the loan owed to the bank, Jing Shen Da breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, something like this happened again, and Jing Shen Da's good mood suddenly disappeared.

And as the person who developed the Lilon picture tube in history, Ibuka obviously has a deeper understanding of this matter: "Americans are trying to eradicate the root cause. The penetration rate of the Internet in the United States is not very high, but the network has become like

A spider web has covered the United States, and now they are removing the 'eyes'

Gradually shrinking, at this time, there is no way we can think of each other again. Moreover, the transmission of optical cables is so fast and the fidelity is so high, the current products will soon be replaced. Unless we obtain the patent authorization

, to be able to produce that new type of TV, otherwise, it would be really difficult..."

The TV market in the United States is not yet saturated, but if we continue to launch traditional TVs now, we may not be able to make money. What the Americans have done is obvious. They are obviously preparing to use the entire TV network.

Got upgraded.

"Americans are really hateful..."

This should be the consensus of current Japanese TV businessmen...
