There have been many discussions on the development of China's software industry, this article is to discuss with everyone is a new development direction: the development of China's Internet basic software industry.
As we all know, all countries around the world have mentioned a very important strategic location for information industries, information technology, and its applications. It is directly related to the overall national strength of a country. The software industry is the core of the information industry, which is an important strategic element involving future international competition, comprehensive national strength and military strength. The software industry has strong permeability, which greatly promotes the improvement of the transformation of traditional industries and the improvement of equipment levels, and strongly promotes the development of emerging and high-tech industries.
According to the US Commercial Software Alliance Statistics, in 2000, the main motivation for driving the US economy accelerated - software industry will become the largest industry in the United States. In 1998, US software sales increased by 17.8% from 1997 to $ 14.9 billion. In 1997, software industry produced $ 13 billion in trade surplus for the United States. However, if there is no contribution to the software industry, the trade deficit of the US economy will increase by 36%. By 2000, the trade surplus generated by the US software industry will exceed 20 billion US dollars.
The largest scale market in the software industry is in basic software, such as operating systems, databases, etc. In these areas, China's maximum resource is the market, and the lack of key technologies. While the China Software Industry sacrifies the market resource, the achievement is the world strategy of the US software industry. We pay more and more market resources, but the key technology is getting farther. For China, as developing countries, in the operating system, the database is an abnormal difficulty, there is no market share of the database or operating system of China's independent intellectual property rights.
At the Internet, the Internet-based basic software is formed. The opportunity is once again presented in front of us. So what is the basic software of the Internet? The essence of the Internet is an orderly, fast, cheap, extensive transmission, and the basic technique involved is the search and transfer of information. The retrieval technology can guarantee the orderly and rapid delivery of information, and the transfer technology is a cheap and extensive basis. Early Internet companies come from search engines, because they represent basic technologies in the Internet era; in recent years, web acceleration technology, caching technology, and content transfer technology are considered to be the infrastructure of the Internet, because They are representatives of information transfer technology.
In the Internet era, search engine has been widely recognized in the United States, US Online, Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, etc., almost every page of the famous web company is placed in a prominent location; << New York Times> >, << Time Weekly >>, CNN, etc. There is no exception to have search function on the homepage; even Disney, McDonald's, Mobil Petroleum These traditional companies are also placed on their homepage. Search box or search function. link.
In the Internet era, people's expectations of information transfer speed are like the expectations of the CPU computing speed in the personal computer era. In theory, the content transfer network (CDN) belongs to the telecom value-added category. Once it is established, there is a high entry barrier; this is why even if it is oscillated in Nasdard, those are accelerating, content delivery networks in web pages. This is also the reason for the famous IT Cisco, Netvilings, etc., such as Akamai, Inktomi, Cacheflow, etc. On the cDN, the Chinese government has no clear protection policy.
In the Internet era, which company has mastered the basic software including search engines, information transfer, which can be proud of the competition; which country has mastered these technologies, she can take advantage of the opportunity in competition. Due to the fact that the Internet basic software is still in the formation process, if China is well grasped, you can win a place in the world's most popular high-tech field. Opportunity performance is in the following:
One, day. In the formation process, there is no company with a monopoly. Take the search engine as an example, ALTAVISTA, INFOSEEK, EXCITE, Google, Inktomi, European FAST, but no one has more than 50% of the market share. Information transfer technology has begun to attract people's attention in the past two years, and the entire market is still in the situation of groups. We are not in a disadvantage. Second, the land. The Internet is not a purely technical phenomenon, which has a close relationship with language culture. From this point of speaking, local companies are all possible to use their own understanding of Chinese and Chinese culture, and develop basic software that is truly suitable for the Chinese market.
Third, people and. As the Internet develops in China, many students have seen many opportunities for returning to China. They or bring back the most advanced technology of Silicon Valley, or bring back foreign state-of-the-art management experience, or bring back risk funds that support China's network development; it should be said that the quality of returning to the country in the past two years is unprecedented of. On the other hand, some extent reduced China as a result of the loss of human resources as a developing country, and universified graduates in colleges and universities gave up the opportunity to study abroad, and they were not in China to participate in entrepreneurship. If these people can closely integrate with China, it is entirely possible to develop world-level Internet base software.
Let us still have a search engine as an example to explain the feasibility of developing the China Internet Basic Software Industry. A year ago, the Chinese website-level search engine is still a leader in the world, and today, the search engine of China's independent intellectual property rights has taken a market share of about 70%. The famous portal Sohu and Sina have adopted Baidu's web search technology. The reason is that Baidu occupies the advantages of time, land, people. If you can get support from government and public opinion, China has a fight in the field of World Internet Basic Software.
