Chapter 56: Blessings in Rows

"So, our request got denied because we are registering too many domains?" Sunny asked Harris in confusion.

Rover Net had sent a list of 500 domains and sub-domains to be registered that Sunny had chosen depending upon the possible demand of these in future. Besides, Domain selling in itself is a huge business.

"Yes, considering the registration is free, the agency Network Solutions which is controlling the entire domain registration over the USA, replied that we might be involved in unfair competition practices and this will hamper the growth of the internet in the USA," Harris replied.

Sunny took over the file and checked the entire matter. After calling Bob in the office Sunny spoke -

"We need to get this domain registration business under our control. This is literally a gold mine and we cannot let it go. Bob let Vint get in touch with the NSF and find out when they are privatizing it and if they are, get it under us.

We can pay up to 8 million in annual contract to administer it. NSF might not like guys like us but they won't ignore the guys who literally invented the internet.

Bob, please make sure we are on top of this. Also, find out if this Network Solutions is giving donations or something to NSF and let it be leaked in the press. I don't want us to lose this because some guy cut a deal with the officials inside."

Vint Cerf came back from his trip to Stanford with another assistant professor and a group of students who were developing database management. Sunny politely welcomed them this time and had a long chat with Vint about the importance of this domain management for their company and convinced him to talk to NSF officials.

Two weeks later and after open bidding, Rover Net won the domain name registry administration contract for Nine million dollars.

With this unrestricted power, Sunny immediately called the legal team to set up a new company mainly for RoverNet to run a domain registration business. Also, he privatized the domain registration and set 50 dollars annual fees.

So, now unlike before, everyone must pay Rover Net 100 dollars for two years (Sunny made it compulsory) every time they want to register a domain (.com, .net or .usa website) and maintain them.

This meant massive income for as long as people want to register a domain name and thankfully, all these new recruits were in database management and Vint took this project under him.

Considering that in future, People can do this for under 10 dollars, Sunny was really charging them big time. However, internet speed is low for now and it's not really popular. Sunny needed to charge more to make up for the server cost.

This was the incredibly short story of how Rover Net got a new company - for domain registration and its management from Network Solutions and during the .com boom, Sunny was sure to sell this company for billions.

While Sunny was dreaming of swimming in dollars, the team that was working on developing a web-based mail service got in contact with the developers back at CERN and got a detailed idea from one of the creators there.

Phillip Hallam-Baker, a computer scientist at CERN who was contacted by Tim Lee told them his idea and his own method which was a divine assist to the young programmers. When Vint heard about this, he contacted the guy again trying to recruit him but Phillip had no interest in private work.

Vint had no choice but to let him know that they have a security consultant position in Rover Net ready for him whenever he wanted.

In mid-April, Sunny decided to take his Japan trip to lay down his future plans there. He needs to expand his company in the Asian market before anyone else takes the leading position.

"Vint, I will leave the tech teams under you hoping they can finish the new mail system. For the time being, until there is competition in the market, we will commercialize it.

This will be targeted at large companies and institutions. Besides, create a clear connect path like the one I designed - the Burger Module and fit the shortcut in the Browser for easy connectivity with the rest of our products.

Also, it can be hyperlinked on the Bleep page here and the rest of the services are again put inside the Burger Module." Sunny handed a thick file to Vint for the development route for the mail system and the advertising platform system.

"Bob, you have only one goal. Find as many journalists and journalism students as you can and hire them. Internships, permanent positions or Summer jobs, I don't care. We need to launch almost 100 international magazines and 10 magazines per state by the end of this year.

If you can't find students, buy the magazines and papers directly. Choose the one with low circulation and struggling and then do the same thing again and again in another state until we have complete national coverage.

I hope from next year, our portal will have our new links and magazine links and not Reuters and others. We are paying them every month huge money that I rather pay to American kids or buy the dying papers."

Sunny handed another file to Bob about the future goals under him and gave him a huge task that was an unbelievable task at first look.

Thankfully, Sunny was not worried about the publishing cost or printing cost or else this would have been just a dream.

While the two loyal generals under Sunny got busy, the emperor packed his bags for the Asian conquest.

Also, Rover Pictures under Kenny started promoting their new movie - Need for Speed for which Kenny organised the first official underground race championship in LA and let the crazy drivers compete among themselves just like in the movies.

Thankfully, this was done with the control and support of LA police and they also got a few new cars in the donation. Now, LA and its papers were covered with the news of underground racing and the fever of racing was spreading.

However, after the first posters and trailers of Jurassic Park came out, Kenny wiped the sweat from his head. Thankfully, he postponed the movie release to the second week of August otherwise Rover Pictures would have suffered a disaster in June and July.
