The Internet - The first Worldwide Tool of Unification ("The End of History")

" ... Now I give you something that few think about: What do you think the Internet is all about, historically? Citizens of all the countries on Earth can talk to one another without electronic borders. The young people of those nations can all see each other, talk to each other, and express opinions. No matter what the country does to suppress it, they're doing it anyway. They are putting together a network of consciousness, of oneness, a multicultural consciousness. It's here to stay. It's part of the new energy. The young people know it and are leading the way.... "

" ... I gave you a prophecy more than 10 years ago. I told you there would come a day when everyone could talk to everyone and, therefore, there could be no conspiracy. For conspiracy depends on separation and secrecy - something hiding in the dark that only a few know about. Seen the news lately? What is happening? Could it be that there is a new paradigm happening that seems to go against history?... " Read More …. "The End of History"- Nov 20, 2010 (Kryon channelled by Lee Carroll)

“…5 - Integrity That May Surprise…

Have you seen innovation and invention in the past decade that required thinking out of the box of an old reality? Indeed, you have. I can't tell you what's coming, because you haven't thought of it yet! But the potentials of it are looming large. Let me give you an example, Let us say that 20 years ago, you predicted that there would be something called the Internet on a device you don't really have yet using technology that you can't imagine. You will have full libraries, buildings filled with books, in your hand - a worldwide encyclopedia of everything knowable, with the ability to look it up instantly! Not only that, but that look-up service isn't going to cost a penny! You can call friends and see them on a video screen, and it won't cost a penny! No matter how long you use this service and to what depth you use it, the service itself will be free.

Now, anyone listening to you back then would perhaps have said, "Even if we can believe the technological part, which we think is impossible, everything costs something. There has to be a charge for it! Otherwise, how would they stay in business?" The answer is this: With new invention comes new paradigms of business. You don't know what you don't know, so don't decide in advance what you think is coming based on an old energy world. ..."

Baidu and Sina Weibo plan to boost payment service business

The People's Bank of China issued third party payment licenses to 27 companies on July 6, including Baidu's Baifubao and Sina's SinaPay.

Baifubao was launched on Sept 25, 2008 as an online payment and service platform. In recent years, Baifubao has been exploring the field of electronic commerce. The license grant is expected to benefit Baidu's e-commerce business.

According to China Business News, in addition to e-commerce, Baifubao is also eyeing personal payment services. Baidu had disclosed a structural adjustment plan in June, where it said it would form a department related to front-line payment collection, with a focus on personal accounts.

The most common online personal payment services involve online video games, e-commerce, music and digital reading.

At a summit in May this year, Robin Li, founder of Baidu, noted that, "payment services in the online video gaming sector are a 'tremendous' business."

The daily reported that there were more than 100 types of video games on Baidu's network and more than 100 million users. Video gaming could very likely become one of the main income sources for Baidu.

According to the daily, Sina was apparently aiming to secure a third party payment license. Currently, the Sina Weibo microblog has more than 500 million users, but revenue from advertising during the first quarter this year was only US$18.8 million. Seventy-seven percent of Sina Weibo's income comes from advertisement.

After Alibaba Group Holding invested US$586 million in Sina Weibo, Sina certainly hopes to take advantage of Alibaba's client resources to speed up its commercialization plan. Sina Weibo is also looking into other value-added services, such as online shopping malls and a membership system.

In terms of online business planning and strategy, the online competition is very likely to move from business patterns to other areas, such as user volume and partnership.

Senior analyst Zhang Meng said that after obtaining the licenses, both Baidu and Sina's business planning would involve more payment services for their own products, rather than payment services for outside businesses.

A report by the Payment and Clearing Association of China in June stated that the scale of the third party payment market in China had exceeded 10 trillion Chinese yuan (US$1.63 trillion) in 2012.
