According to a netizen of cnBeta last night, China Telecom is starting to operate the dial-up software "Sky Express" in a rogue manner. The informant also provided a large amount of internal information about China Telecom's "Sky Express" software. From the information, it can be seen that China Telecom has formulated a meticulous plan and is gradually penetrating "Sky Express" into users' systems according to the plan, thereby occupying the user's desktop. The original Internet dial-up function of the "Sky Express" software will gradually evolve into a user plug-in, through which advertising information will be sent to users.
"Occupy the user-end desktop"
The function of Sky Express is described in this way in the internal documents of the telecom company: "In addition to the basic dial-up function, the Sky Express client software can also conduct marketing for other services. The client software running on the user end is the most direct channel from the telecom operator to the target customer group. When the user base reaches a certain scale, sending advertising messages to users and pushing value-added services through the client is the fastest, most effective, and lowest-cost method." This internal document also introduces desktop marketing methods such as "embedding browsers to display marketing pages" and "value-added service plug-in buttons".
