Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Amy's speech was very assertive, leaving Zhao Houlin, who was sitting in the audience, somewhat at a loss.

In meetings and negotiations, you have to talk things out first. Being so aggressive right away is really going too far.

Fortunately, Musk quickly added: "Aurora was commissioned by the Holy Alliance of Humanity to ensure the stability of the human network and the human ocean shipping capacity."

We are not using this opportunity to forcibly promote aurora technology. The main reason is that only aurora technology is suitable for the current war situation.

Since all the servers and registrations are non-profit in nature, this is a good opportunity to entrust them to Aurora for operation, so that we can upgrade the overall network of human society.

Some servers are simply too old; it's time for an upgrade.

Zhao Houlin remained silent, feeling somewhat insecure after being rescued.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him," and since he was even saved by Aurora, he really didn't have the face to directly contradict them.

He looked down at the documents, glancing at the others out of the corner of his eye.

To his disappointment, none of the other organizations stood up to refute him.

At this moment, he understood that Aurora and these organizations must have talked, or at least reached an understanding. The conflict was not irreconcilable, and these organizations no longer had any motivation to oppose Aurora.

Those with real core interests who would fight to the death against Aurora are the backbone network operators, but they were conspicuously not invited. Aurora is trying to cut the Gordian knot and seize the initiative in the administrative arena first.

Looking around, Zhao Houlin realized that he seemed to be the only one who needed to speak up.

The other staff members calmly sipped their tea, while a few looked directly at him, as if waiting for his performance.

Having no other choice, Zhao Houlin turned on his microphone and said, "I am Zhao Houlin, Secretary General of the International Telecommunication Union. I have something to say."

I know that humanity is currently in a state of species war. I am in Europe, and Switzerland has completely closed itself off to seek refuge. The situation across the European continent is not optimistic.

I'm glad the aurora could bring me back to a safe area under human control, but I still need to know how the aurora treats this international public resource of various frequencies.

Will you still abide by the various international practices, regulations and agreements of the past?

Will the Holy League of Humanity simultaneously inherit the various organizational structures and responsibilities of the United Nations? Does the International Telecommunication Union, to which I belong, still have the right to continue fulfilling its obligations?

Musk was about to pick up the microphone to speak when Amy preemptively grabbed it and said with a smile, "First of all, I'm glad Secretary-General Zhao arrived here safely."

Regarding your question, I can offer some answers. First, our stance on the aurora borealis and other international public resources, including various frequencies, remains the same as before: it is a resource for all humanity, and naturally requires an international organization to coordinate and manage it.

However, the existing international management regulations and agreements clearly need to be changed, since many countries in Europe and elsewhere have already fallen, and the original management model is no longer suitable for the new situation.

Now, to the important point: the Holy Alliance of Humanity will not inherit the various organizational structures of the United Nations in a synchronized manner.

Because the core purpose of the United Nations is to maintain international peace and security and to promote international cooperation, it is the most universal, authoritative and representative intergovernmental organization. Any country that loves peace and accepts the obligations of the Charter can become a member state.

However, the United Nations does not have any definition of humanity or species. We believe that the United Nations is no longer applicable to the current society. In addition, with the fall of Europe and Africa, we believe that the organizational structure of the United Nations no longer exists.

However, in terms of responsibilities, the Holy Alliance of Humanity will simultaneously assume many of the responsibilities previously held by the United Nations, including those of the International Telecommunication Union.

Aurora joined the Sacred Alliance of Humanity as a trustee, and we believe that various frequency resources are also precious public resources for humanity.

The Wet Tribe has already tried to interfere with our network signals, but the Aurora has the most powerful radio positioning network in human history.

Anyone who launches jamming devices on the ground can be tracked, located, and attacked with meter-level precision.

Since only we can protect these public resources, they should rightfully be managed by Aurora.

Furthermore, Aurora will provide free internet access worldwide afterward, completely free of charge, without requiring a single penny.

Whether it's a mobile phone or other devices, they can connect directly to Starlink signals. Of course, if you use a ground terminal, the network speed will be faster.

Of course, we understand if any of our partners in the alliance do not wish to use Aurora's technology.

We will provide related resale traffic services. Countries that do not wish to directly access the Starlink network can purchase traffic from Starlink and then resell it to their own country's various operators.

Okay, the reason I called everyone here today is to ensure the smooth implementation of various technologies and to stabilize the network in the alliance region. I think everyone has no further questions.

No one spoke up at the meeting. Although everyone agreed with Aurora's suggestion, they were still somewhat unwilling.

Zhao Houlin was the first to raise his hand. He felt that the situation was hopeless, so he might as well go with the flow and see if he could continue to have a job.

"As the Secretary General of the International Telecommunication Union, I believe that Aurora's solution is feasible. The International Telecommunication Union has been established for more than 150 years, and I believe that we have completed our mission."

In the near future, we will transfer all frequency management, coordination, and registration information to Aurora for management.

Once the first one was chosen, a second one followed, and all the others raised their hands in agreement.

That afternoon, the Holy Alliance of Humanity held an alliance conference, at which the countries determined Aurora's management rights over public frequencies, and Aurora began to take charge of upgrading all alliance ground stations.

Each allied nation can choose to directly adopt Starlink as a direct network, or choose to have its existing network operator transfer Starlink to continue providing network support, according to its own national development strategy.

After the news was widely reported by media outlets around the world, operators in those countries immediately panicked.

Backbone network operators in various countries have begun to do everything in their power to try to influence governments to block Starlink direct connections. They can still make a living by reselling traffic; they've simply been relegated from backbone networks to secondary networks.

If Starlink were to intervene directly, they would essentially go bankrupt in a matter of seconds.

In the countries most affected by the aurora borealis, the Aurora Starlink direct connection operation license was obtained at lightning speed.

The United States was the first to be affected. On that day, the four major wireless carriers and Comcast, a cable giant, had to sit down together to discuss the future of their companies.

-----------------------------

In an office in Manhattan, New York, the chairmen of Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint were sipping tea, looking rather dejected. These three companies are the second, third, and fourth largest wireless carriers in the United States.

Soon after, Comcast and Charter, the cable giants, arrived.

Comcast's Brian Roberts spoke first: "Let's not wait any longer, let's discuss this first. The widespread adoption of Starlink would be a catastrophe for us, we need to unite!"

We can unify Starlink to gradually erode those local small operators and cooperatives, but we cannot allow them to legally enter the cities! None of us can accept the consequences!

The three wireless carriers were somewhat surprised. For them, the direct connection from Aurora was certainly a big threat, but for wired networks, they felt it wasn't a matter of life or death.

Moreover, Comcast owns valuable assets such as Universal Pictures and NBC, so they shouldn't be in such a hurry.

However, what they didn't know was that Oasis itself had taken up too much of the entertainment time of ordinary people in the past two years, which had already caused their cable TV business to shrink significantly.

Comcast's competitor, Disney, was largely unaffected; they were carried away by the aurora borealis.

Disney frequently collaborates with the Aurora Oasis. For example, when you visit Disney in real life, you can get a hidden lottery card, and then go to the Oasis to draw high-level equipment.

Disney's movies are also closely linked to Oasis promotion. Every hit movie has the potential to become a separate fan-shaped element in Oasis, allowing fans to experience the real movie world.

Under various pressures, Comcast is struggling to survive.

Of course, what alarmed Brian Roberts even more was that when Apple acquired Disney, he had his own television stations voice dissent.

Although he was eventually crushed like a speed bump, he didn't believe Chen Yiran for a second that he had forgotten or held a grudge.

He was eager to tie all the stakeholders together, hoping to weather this disaster together.

Verizon's chairman, Lowell McAdam, had only been in office for a month when he faced a critical issue concerning the company's survival. Somewhat helplessly, he said, "There aren't many options. The first is simply to take legal action, using antitrust, unfair competition, and infringement of existing contracts to create as much trouble as possible."

I have considered this. We can't just do it ourselves; we need to provide financial assistance to those small local companies.

Rural telecommunications across the United States is supported by a large number of small community companies and cooperatives. Rural Broadband Associations, Rural Wireless Associations, and Rural Broadband Advocates previously provided internet access to small rural areas with populations of only a few thousand people, which accounted for much of the U.S. population.

The Rural Broadband Association comprises 850 independent community telecommunications companies or cooperatives. The Rural Wireless Association includes 340 small telecommunications operators, most with fewer than 50 employees. The Rural Wireless Association's 55 operators are slightly larger, but each still has fewer than 100,000 subscribers.

They started losing customers significantly last year, and we can fund their lawsuit against Aurora.

Then there's the issue of security in the telecommunications industry, but given the current situation, I think questioning Aurora's security would be self-humiliating.

Finally, there's the political issue. We could go through the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) review, but I don't think that path is easy either.

No sooner had he finished speaking than T-Mobile Chairman Timothy Hertegger quickly said, "No, no, I don't think we can raise questions from a political and security standpoint. It's easy for Aurora to refute that on the grounds of war."

Timothy Hertegs was a little panicked. He no longer had much desire to struggle; he just hoped to get some small amount of compensation.

Because T-Mobile's largest shareholder is Deutsche Telekom, which owns 63% of the shares, Timothy is not only the chairman of T-Mobile but also the CEO of Deutsche Telekom.

If he hadn't spent most of his time working in the United States, he might have been killed in Germany.

This time was truly different from the past; he felt that even if the war ended, Deutsche Telekom might not have any hope of survival.

All he hopes for now is to ensure the company's smooth operation and to receive some compensation to support his future livelihood.

Masayoshi Son, a representative from Sprint, also spoke up: "I also think we should try to talk as much as possible and not make things so tense."

Strictly speaking, Masayoshi Son is not the chairman or CEO of Sprint; he is the chairman of SoftBank. However, SoftBank owns 83% of Sprint's shares, so he is the one who actually calls the shots at Sprint.

He really didn't want to turn this into a political issue. To put it bluntly, when it comes to politics and security, Japanese companies holding shares are probably less important to most Americans than Singaporean companies.

Furthermore, Masayoshi Son had always been somewhat afraid of Chen Yiran, mainly because he was unsure of Chen's attitude towards the Japanese.

After Chen Yiran became successful, all his previous actions were thoroughly exposed. Although Chen Yiran clearly had a fondness for Japanese animation culture, he had also publicly criticized the Japanese on QQ Space during his junior and senior high school years.

Last year, Chen Yiran even jokingly said on Twitter that if the Japanese only had their brains to provide creativity for humans to produce entertainment such as comics and animation, the world would be a much better place.

Masayoshi Son is very afraid that Chen Yiran might one day actually take this to heart and put it into practice. So his current idea is that it would be best if things could be settled smoothly, with some compensation, and it would be best if they could be negotiated.

Brian Roberts slammed his fist on the table and said, "This is a matter of life and death. Comcast can still survive on cable television and the entertainment industry. Even if we sell ourselves, we can get a higher price."

But if your industry completely collapses, those users and base stations won't fetch much money! Hundreds of billions of dollars will vanish into thin air—are you willing to accept that?

Brian Roberts's words were basically an open invitation, hoping that these wireless providers, who are likely to suffer greatly, would strive to be at the forefront.

Unexpectedly, the meeting room fell silent, and no one responded.

Just then, Brian Roberts' secretary burst in through the door.

"Chairman! Something's happened! AT&T just announced that they've accepted Aurora's offer to acquire it entirely!"

Brian Roberts paused for a few seconds, then cursed, "They're worth two hundred billion dollars! More than us! And they just groveled like that? FUCK, they have no bottom line! Spineless!"

After saying that, he stood up and hurriedly walked out the door.

As soon as he stepped outside, he whispered, "Contact Disney and tell them we're selling ourselves. We have the rights to Universal, and Disney will be interested. Sell our film and television business to them, and ask them to help us contact Aurora to buy our cable business."
