In the week before Christmas on December 15, in addition to the storm caused by westero's sudden announcement to reduce its holdings of Daniels entertainment stock, there is another big event.

This is the new U.S. Telecommunications Act officially passed the Congress vote.

In the past, the telecommunication bill pushed by the Clinton administration was not finally passed until 1996. This time, with the joint efforts of various forces including the westero system, the bill was introduced ahead of time. This is also the most important bill in 1995.

Compared with other small bills that only focus on specific matters, the telecommunication act is actually a brand new law, a substantial amendment to the communication act of 1934. The communication law of

1934 is a law rising in the tide of American anti monopoly. Therefore, the core of the bill is to prevent monopoly, and it is very strict to prevent monopoly. Some related bills promulgated in the following decades are basically around the 1934 communication law, such as strictly restricting the cross holding between different media platforms and strictly restricting simultaneous interpreting. Business cross between information enterprises, strict restrictions on the national telecom giant's merger of regional communication enterprises and so on.

The telecommunication act of the Clinton administration is a comprehensive deregulation.

Of course, on the surface, I can't say that.

Therefore, the goal of this amendment is to open up the competitive market by eliminating regulatory barriers, promote the application of advanced technologies by private enterprises, and promote the integration of resources among different types of telecom operators, so as to provide better and cheaper information technology and services for the American people.

A benchmark was set up high, and then a new bill involving seven major items, namely, telecommunication services, broadcasting services, cable services, and communication ethics, was published.

Although out of the principle of openness and transparency, the Washington authorities uploaded the complete contents of the bill to the government website for the first time, it is obvious that few people are interested in studying the complete bill and can see the impact of its provisions.

That's the result.

As for the media, of course, there is no lack of discerning people.

Many media people criticized the bill for the first time after it was voted by Congress, believing that it would not promote competition at all, but would only bring about another merger and monopoly.

However, because the telecommunications and media giants that control most of the core media in the United States have been looking forward to this bill for a long time, most of the criticisms have not splashed much. Instead, all the media, from newspapers to the Internet, have begun to publicize the various conveniences that "three networks in one" will bring to the American people.

Simon's memory, whether it is better telecommunications services or cheaper costs have not been realized, even many years later, there will be an embarrassing situation that Joe can not find the signal on the spot at the apple mobile phone conference. You know, it's in downtown San Francisco, not in the wild.

As a matter of fact, the telecommunication Act introduced by the Clinton administration only led to the rapid annexation and integration of telecommunication resources across the country by major telecommunication giants, thus re forming the de facto monopoly pattern of telecommunication.

As for better service and cheaper charges.

It doesn't exist.

Enterprises want to maximize profits, of course, to use the least capital investment to charge the most fees.

In any case, since the opening of Washington has been opened, Simon will not be polite and will start to speed up the IPO process of Verizon Telecom in order to merge with AOL in the future.

In recent years, with the rapid expansion, AOL, which already has a large number of its own line networks, has begun to develop fixed line telephone and cable TV services in addition to the network access services, and is officially moving towards the road of "three networks in one". Simon has foreshadowed this for a long time. In recent years, AOL's line network has left a considerable amount of vacant capacity. This time, it happens to be used.

In addition, with the passage of the telecommunication act through Congress, the shares of general electric and Time Warner, which are under the merger review of the US Department of justice, both rose.

Time Warner has a warner communication company engaged in cable TV operation. With the promulgation of the wire act, the company can also break through the legal barriers and engage in the increasingly popular network services and traditional fixed line telephone business in recent years.

December 15.

Christmas in North America officially opened.

Knowing that "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of justice" is coming next week, there are still three commercial films with more than 1000 screen opening this week, and they are all the key points.

First of all, paramount produced a remake of Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn's film of the same name, the new dragon and Phoenix. The film not only starred Harrison Ford, but also invited Sidney Pollack, Billy Wilder, Fanny Aldan and other famous filmmakers to join in. As a result, the production cost has reached the $50 million blockbuster level, and the number of screens opened is 1821 .

The second is fox's "when you wake up", a novel directed by Forrest Whitaker, the Cannes black film king, which adapts the black feature film, and two famous black actresses, Whitney Houston and Angela besette, join in. The production cost of the film is 16 million US dollars, and the number of screens is 1253.Finally, a spoof comedy "vampire is crazy" produced by Sony Pictures, starring Leslie Nelson, a "white headed detective", costs US $30 million and has 1425 screens.

Even though the reputation of the three films was not bad after they were released on the same day, the distribution scale was obviously conservative.

What's more, on December 15, the "American Idol" team officially launched the theme song "dream it possible" created by Simon himself for the reality show. Meanwhile, the song went online on ABC TV, ABC Radio and Youtube platforms, and tincobail's broadcast website also went on sale simultaneously. This single is for iPlayer player users to pay to download.

Obviously, the song did not disappoint the fans who launched a petition some time ago.

At 8 p.m. that day, "dream it possible" was launched on YouTube in less than 20 minutes, and it broke through the 10 million mark by clicking. Broadcast's single sales also reached 1 million within two hours of that night, and brainwashed and fluent tunes quickly spread to the streets of North America over the following weekend.

After passing the vote of both houses of Congress last week, the telecommunication bill was signed by Clinton on December 18, which is exactly the time when it came into force.

Simon has paid close attention to the developments of all parties since last week when Westeros announced the reduction of danielis entertainment shares, and then the voting of the telecommunication bill. When the president signed the bill, the impact of last week's reduction on the US stock market seems to be gradually fading after the opening of the new week. Simon quietly flew to the east coast to arrange some things in person.

The manor in the northern suburb of Greenwich.

There have been several snowfalls on the east coast. Although it is sunny today, the surrounding area of the manor is covered with snow. The temperature is below zero during the day. The manor villa is naturally warm as spring.

It's December 19, Tuesday afternoon.

Joseph shipp, one of the leaders of the political lobbying affairs of the Westeros, had just arrived at the villa. Before that, Simon met Paul Spitz, another leader of the political affairs of the Westeros, who mainly arranged for next year's general election.

In 1996, in addition to the presidential election, there will also be a change of office.

Last year's mid-term election operation, the westero system actually took a lot of risks. If you don't pay attention to it, you may create a big beehive. Fortunately, in the end, there was no danger. This time, Simon doesn't intend to push any further, but to take a big step back.

When last year's "sniper plan" attacked a group of people, the Congressmen who were supported by the Westeros system in disguise did not necessarily favor the Westeros.

Therefore, in next year's election, in addition to the few members who have made advances and reached an alliance, the majority of the members who benefited in disguise last year will not support the westrow system this time. In this way, the westrow system will bet less on the election this year, and it will let both parties in Washington down their guard.

As for the presidential election, the westero system will not participate in the election on the surface, but will help Clinton in the dark.

Among them, the most important is the increasingly influential network platform in recent years, as well as the ABC TV network that Denise entertainment has just annexed. These public opinion platforms will definitely favor Clinton.

Simon has never been very fond of the couple in the White House, but it is undoubtedly the best choice for the westrow system to let them continue to be in power.

Even, after all, history has changed, and it is not impossible to push Hillary into power in the future.

Because Simon is aware of another thing.

The westero system has already controlled an enterprise under the name of a golden real estate developer. It used to play as a leisure game. Suddenly, it was found that doing so would completely block the possibility of the other party entering the White House in the future.

American voters will not choose a spokesman who is so closely related to the westero system as president in the future.

At that time, if you rashly fight for this position, you may even drag the whole westero system in. After all, the position of the White House is definitely the ultimate goal of many American politicians in their lifetime. Anyone who dares to grab it can do his best, just like Clinton, who has been in trouble in recent years, and some golden hair who accidentally entered the White House in his memory, because their qualifications can't match Hold down the White House, it's all chicken feathers.

As a result, Golden real estate developers have completely become Simon's outcast.

In a study on the first floor of the villa, Joseph schrap and Simon began to talk about some recent trends in Washington after a brief exchange: "according to the information I got, the president is mainly dissatisfied with your announcement of the reduction plan without informing him in advance. Hillary also lost her temper. However, these are just private and public. The president and his wife have nothing to do with it It's different. I also had breakfast with White House chief of staff John Podesta on Saturday morning. What the White House is more concerned about is what kind of support we can give in an election year? "

Simon leaned up on the sofa with a cup of warm coffee. After listening to Snape, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "if I give them money now, it will be a total help to them. I don't think they are short of money now. ABC, together with igritte, can't buy a hundred million or two just because of the support from these two aspects. ""In fact, what John revealed was that he wanted you to lobby News Corp. to reduce its support for Dole," said Joseph schrap

Next year's general election, the Republican candidate has not been finalized.

However, many people actually understand that, not surprisingly, the odds against Clinton are that Bob Dole, the Republican senator and the current majority leader of the Senate, has declared his candidacy and is very vocal.

As for News Corp.

Simon glanced at Joseph schrap, who was a little more curious, and shook his head. "I can't help you next time you tell him that."

In private, they have formed a tacit understanding with Murdoch, and both sides support each other.

This kind of thing, even if Joseph schrap, even if the other party has guessed and even confirmed, Simon will not be too frank.

In fact, if it's really necessary, Simon will do it.

After all, the bets on both sides can not affect the overall layout of the westero system. In case of Dole's coming to power, although he is also a very smooth old politician and has good relations with various capital groups in the United States, it is inevitable that there will be variables.

Even though he has stepped into the core of the Westeros family, he still knows how to handle the problem. It's normal for this young man to have reservations about him, which doesn't mean that he doesn't trust him.

If he's completely honest, he'll even have to doubt the other person's intelligence.

He nodded his head and said that he would tell the story. He added: "in addition, I have talked with an assistant of Greenspan. Now both Congress and the White House are hesitant to start the interest rate increase. They are worried that it will lead to a market turn. After all, the U.S. economy has been improving at the present stage. Even if NASDAQ overheats, it is only on the one hand, which is not a good way to tighten monetary policy Timing. "

In the past few years, the Federal Reserve has maintained a fairly loose monetary policy.

It is reasonable to say that after the economic recovery, in order to avoid overheating of the market, we need to start tightening from last year. However, because of the market situation is too good, coupled with the frequent emergence of the new technology bubble may burst, and in order to avoid the economic recovery after the Gulf War ended abruptly, the Fed has not announced interest rate hikes.

Simon wants to control the overheating of the market. In addition to the initiative of westerlow system to suppress excessive speculation by reducing holdings and controlling public opinion, the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve is undoubtedly another sharp weapon.

At this time, Simon understood that the westero system had to operate alone for a period of time.

Simon needs to make the Federal Reserve confirm that raising interest rates will not lead to a market crash, but will help cool the market through several stock cuts and other operations. Only in this way can Washington make up its mind.

Whether out of selfishness or justice, it is necessary to pour cold water on the economy at the right time, even if Wall Street will not deny it.

In any case, most of Wall Street and its associated capital are engaged in orthodox investment business. Although speculative capital such as hedge funds has increased significantly in recent years, it is still not the mainstream. Since it is an investment, there will be no lack of long-term vision, focusing on the long-term development rather than killing the goose for the egg.

is actively promoting the expansion of new technology bubbles, and giving us Internet industry a long time to develop steadily, which is beneficial to everyone. Otherwise, Simon would not rashly start the project of boiling frogs in warm water. He's not crazy. He won't offend everyone at one time.
