The growth of the Internet (i.)

This generation of people can be said to be accompanied by the growth of the Chinese Internet grew. How have they experienced the development of the Internet industry? What do they think? The first contact with the Internet in the early 2000, when the home to do dial-up Internet, with a 56K telephone line dialing. The whole process of surfing the internet is very strange, at that time, there is an old computer, my father was very early to buy a fresh, but the basic people do not use, is the people are tinkering with the work is broken. One day, my father came to our house, the state-owned factory technicians to help see the repair, he did a bit, and then suggested that we go to apply for a dial-up account, you can dial the Internet. I do not know why this person would have this idea, because at that time we do not have any people at home to use this computer, but this is the case, the home is not even the internet was very fresh. When looking at the Win98 "cool" boot interface, listening to the cat drop of the dial sound became my biggest impression of the Internet at that time. I don't know why "cat" needs to make such a big dial sound, but every time the network dials, it always makes me feel very happy. When the internet was not as rich as it is today, when the network account was opened, Telecom gave a pamphlet that had been forgotten, but remember that there are a lot of Web site introductions and URLs-This may be the earliest web site navigation. At that time because the first page was mentioned by the technical staff to set up our local most famous portal-Oriental hotline, those books on the site are mostly not been. Everyone may know that Ding lei is from Ningbo, but may not know the Oriental hotline so a website. Such a place station is I know the beginning of the Internet, and this is the site by the Ningbo Telecom group wholly-owned holding company, although the region is relatively strong, but also basically includes the Internet at that time most of the functions, can be said to be a microcosm of the network. Oriental Hotline was founded in 1996, is a comprehensive portal, including news, community, video, games and a series of products. Its development defender is Ningbo Public Information Industry Co., Ltd., its parent company is China Communications Service Co., Ltd. (China Telecom Group Holdings) Zhejiang Company. Its most brilliant 2004, Alexa (a world-wide site to do the ranking of Third-party institutions) ranked 59, daily average of more than tens of thousands of PV, this data is placed in the present, but also a small number. The success of the Oriental Hotline is not accidental, but its success is that it provides the necessary services that many netizens need, and the services it offers in the current year may not be outdated. In addition to the portal news, the Oriental hotline set up early video, games, forums, chat rooms and other systems, to become a very versatile site at that time. As early as 1999, the Oriental Hotline set up its real server video service system, became the first batch of online video on-demand services to provide a large web site. When everyone was still dialing 56K, the Oriental Hotline, benefiting from the advantage of its telecoms subsidiaries having a lot of bandwidth, launched aHigh bandwidth requirements for video-on-demand services. After 2003, the broadband network began to become popular, with free film and TV music resources of the Oriental Hotline became the preferred site for many people in Ningbo. Oriental Hotline also has its own warcraft, Diablo, CS Warfare Network. These networks are legally classified, but due to the state of the Oriental hotline, these services have been well maintained and upgraded for a long time. At that time, Chinese games were basically pirated, and could not connect the official server properly, but through the registry patches, these games can be well connected through the Oriental Hotline service. The Diablo 2 Network of the Oriental Hotline was one of the country's unofficial war nets. Later, because of copyright reasons, the Eastern hotline has gradually stopped. Mention of the Oriental Hotline also cannot but mention its active forum, the forum has been the essence of the Oriental Hotline. Because the region is strong, forum everyone can discuss all kinds of things happening around, its intimacy than to see a variety of news came to be stronger, so the East theory also become Ningbo netizen gossiping good place. Although the Oriental Hotline is no longer the same year, from the Alexa data, the east of the flow accounted for the entire Oriental Hotline 75% flow, active degree is still quite high. Over time, early video and games that brought great success to the Oriental hotline were slowly withdrawn because of copyright reasons. Portal news is not the Oriental hotline is the most adept, the forum's regional achievements of the east of the active degree, but also make it impossible to become a national product. In addition to these, the Oriental Hotline also has its own blog system, microblogging system, recruitment system. It can be said that there are some services on the Internet, the Oriental Hotline Basic have, and are the development of their own. But then the products that follow suit are basically not particularly successful. In the tide of the internet waves, although the Oriental Hotline was up early, but after a short period of brilliance, the Oriental Hotline on the corner has been far behind the trend, leaving only a forum still attracts some of the habit of the old users. The success and failure of the Oriental Hotline is related to its background. As the company of Ningbo Telecom, it first enjoyed the entrance and the dividend of the bandwidth, the rapid rise. But because of the rigidity of the mechanism, the Oriental hotline can not be pursued, vigorously expand new business, the last one has a strong integrated portal only a local forum, have to let people sigh. The Oriental Hotline is a microcosm of the many local portals. At the time of the Internet tide, various or official or individual local portals have become a powerful force on the Internet because of their keen sense of smell and people's close content. But local portals, due to geographical constraints, are also easy to reach the ceiling, unable to get big development, let alone access to capital. The arrival of the mobile era, the local portal is subject to technology and other reasons, basically can not complete the real mobile, it can be said that the era of local portals has gradually gone.
