    i deal with patents and i see both nokia and qualcomm behaving similarly.as a matter of fact qualcomm chrages more royalty in india than it does in china and anil ambani made a

    futile effort in convincing qualcomm ceo in getting the same reduced.since profit is the motive of anybody who is in business ,it is the govt which should have stepped in but unfortunately the competion commission of india as well as the Act governing it have been only paper tigers.

    we shd also keep in mind that Tata's cdma service is quite popular .and finally the Google phone uses a qualcomm chip.in contrsat the apple phone has been mostly a monopolistic affair.

    the need of the hour in india is regulating businesses balancing corporate and consumer interests.

    Qualcomm to launch affordable internet devices

    Mobile chipset maker Qualcomm today said it is in talks with laptop manufacturers and original equipment makers to launch low-cost internet-based devices in the country by 2009.

    "We are working with laptop manufacturers and OEMs to bring to the market low-cost internet-based devices at an affordable price," Qualcomm Vice President and country Manager of Technology Sandeep Sibal told PTI.

    In the Indian market, the commercial launch of such a device (powered by Qualcomms technology) is likely in the first half of 2009. The price would be half of that of a traditional laptop, Sibal said. While a laptop usually measures 15 inches or more, the device on the Snapdragon platform would be mostly in the range of nine to 12 inches.

    There will be pocket devices also.

    According to Sibal, from users' perspective, the new device would be all about connected computing. That is internet connectivity would be built into the device, unlike a traditional laptop. Besides lower price and smaller size, it would also have a long-lasting battery life, he said. "Snapdragon is designed to add expanded functionality to future generations of consumer electronics from gaming or portable entertainment devices to pocket computers and beyond by delivering ubiquitous mobile broadband access, together withunsurpassed processing performance and battery life," the company said.

    Analyst tracking the sector feels that the market is likely to see a deluge of low-cost internet-based devices in various form -- starting from small notebooks to handhelds devices -- with chip makers working on technologies to bring down the cost of chipsets. Recently, world's largest chip maker Intel had said it would launch internet-enabled devices based on atom processor,starting from Rs 5,000, in the next few months.

    atlast we can also use internet along with the telcos for voice calls

    New Delhi, Aug 18

    Press Trust of India

    NEW DELHI: Telecom regulator TRAI today allowed ISPs to offer unrestricted internet telephony services, a move that will further boost competition in the domestic long distance segment and lower STD tariffs.

    "It is envisaged that customers will ultimately benefit from cost effective and innovative internet telephony service. These recommendations will put Indian telecom sector in tune with global trends. The grey market tendencies shall be curtailed," TRAI said in a statement.

    As per the TRAI recommendations, the STD service providers would be connected to ISPs through public internet for the purpose and the two service providers would have mutual agreement for the same.

    The move will permit calls from personal computers to fixed line and mobile phones. Currently, a voice call can travel between two computers but not from a mobile or a fixed phone. This is expected to open huge channels of revenues for Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

    The Telecom Engineering Centre (TEC), a technical arm of Department of Telecom, will work out the number plan for the ISPs to enable them to offer telephone services.

    "Telephone numbers from identified blocks shall be allocated to ISPs, Unified Access Service Providers, Basic Service Providers and Cellular Mobile Service Providers for internet telephony," TRAI said.

    With a view to make internet telephony secure, TRAI said, all ISPs interested to provide unrestricted internet telephony would install "Lawful Interception" equipments.

    some very usefull proposals in favour of the consumer

    http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2008/0...72451940400.htm

    New Delhi, July 23 In a bid to protect telecom consumers and ensure transparency, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Wednesday proposed to increase the ‘minimum protection period’ available to access services consumers from tariff hikes to one year from the date of enrolment into a tariff plan. The current regime entails a six month protection against such hikes.

    “However, lifetime subscribers and subscribers in longer periods of validity will continue to be protected for the lifetime and with respect to the longer periods of validity subscribed to by the consumers,” a TRAI statement said summarising the modifications proposed to be made as Amendments to Telecommunication Tariff Order.

    TRAI has now asked the stakeholders to offer their views on these proposals to amend the Telecom Tariff Order.

    “In cases of straight tariff reductions, where the declared intention of the operator is to extend the benefit to all subscribers without attached liabilities, there shall not be any pre-condition of explicit positive action on the part of subscribers,” TRAI said. This proposal assumes significance in the light of recent announcements by Vodafone and Idea of making available reduced domestic long distance charges to those subscribers who requested for it through an SMS.

    The regulator further pointed out that in cases where a subscriber of an existing lifetime validity plan or unlimited validity plan opts for migration to a new lifetime validity or unlimited validity plan with a lower entry fee, the service provider would not levy any upfront payment or recurring charges for such migration.

    “No fixed fee other than applicable taxes shall be levied on recharges exclusively meant for provision of talk time value. However, the service provider can charge nominal fee not exceeding Rs 2 per top up towards the administrative costs,” TRAI said.

    It further said that if the terms and conditions of a lifetime plan or plan with unlimited validity includes any condition of minimum amount of recharge at specified intervals, the interval would be minimum six months. “Before expiry of the specified duration for the recharge, in these plans, if any, consumers are to be reminded by the service provider in advance to avoid disconnection by default,” TRAI said.

    dear all

    vodafone calling card of 149 rs you get 115 talk time and std to all phones is at rs 1.1...

    this is avlbl since nov 07...

    a lil bit of math ....in case of chennai wt

    888 rs 6 month rechrge card will give 666 tt which can give 512 mins of std @1.3 rs

    where as for the same amt by calling card the v get 5.95 caaling cards with talk time of 685(5.95x115) and you get 623 mins of std....

    where as wt 1 yr validity u get 2293 mins of std @ 1.3

    (out of 3350 u get 2981 rs tt & 2981/1.3=2293)

    and 2350 mins of std @1.1 wt caling card ....

    wt 3350 v can have 22.48 calling cards 0f 149 denomination ,which give 2585 talk time (22.48 x 115)&

    2585/1.1=2350

    and vodafone's calling card service is quite user friendly too..

    but if u wish to further lower std charges tata callling cards are best... u shd be ready 2 key in pin/ the number always !

    any errors in the maths ! pl correct if so

    USA aexerting pressure ...but good for us(indians)

    Printed from

    US joins spectrum war, tells India to take auction route

    15 Dec, 2007, 0850 hrs IST,Joji Thomas Philip & G Ganapathy Subramaniam, TNN

    NEW DELHI: The US government has ‘strongly recommended’ to telecom minister A Raja that India adopt the auction methodology for allotment of second generation (2G) spectrum, as this was the best solution to the ongoing war for radio frequencies in India.

    Ambassador David A Gross, co-ordinator for Bush administration’s international communications & information policy, has also offered to share expertise in spectrum auctions. The US views were conveyed to Mr Raja and senior officials of the telecom department by Mr Gross who is currently on a visit to India.

    “We have done several auctions. We have an upcoming auction for radio frequencies in the 700 MHz. We have offered to share our expertise. A properly designed auction is the best way to allocate and assign spectrum for mobile licences. I have strongly recommended this to Mr Raja,” the top US official told ET in an exclusive chat here on Friday. The forthcoming spectrum auction in the US is expected to generate revenue of $10 billion for the US government.

    Mr Gross’ mission would boost the hopes of US telcos such as AT&T who want to enter the wireless market in India and offer both voice and data services. Under the current policy, telecom licences which come bundled with start-up 2G spectrum are awarded on a first-come-first-serve policy. Applicants such as AT&T do not stand a chance under the existing policy as they are at the rear end of the queue.

    More importantly, the department of telecom is only processing the applications of those companies who have applied before September 25, 2007 despite the government announcing that the cut-off date for filing applications was October 1. This virtually rules out any possibility of companies such as AT&T and Videocon (which is learnt to be partnering US communication giant Verizon) who have applied for licenses after September 25, from entering the Indian telecom market.

    During his meeting with the telecom minister, Ambassador Gross also highlighted that all applications should be given an equal chance. “Why exclude those who have applied after September 25. Excluding some companies will not aid the process. It keeps revenues out of the government treasury. It may be possible that the highest bids could be from companies who have applied after September 25. India should establish a future date and all companies who have applied before this deadline must be allowed to bid,” he added.

    When asked on the Mr Raja’s response to his suggestions, Mr Gross said: “The minister understands our views”. Mr Raja has repeatedly maintained that the government would not go in for a 2G auction due to the legal barriers involved. Ambassador Gross welcomed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s statement earlier this week that ‘the government must not lose sight of the revenue potential from this scarce resource.

    dear sachin

    i agree that private gsm operators are money minded...i am going to avail this offer ...how ever

    reliance is not the holycow and by offering 5 yrs validity its literally holding you for that period...

    as has been mentioned many times reliance still lags tata in many ways but for 1 ...770 unlimtied

    rim to any rim...thats the only reason y i am going to avail this offer....but the downside is the customer will be at loss if he decides to relocate from the home circle due to professional /job

    commitments...

    i forgot to mention bsnl the self proclaimed holy cow has withdrawn here in chennai , excel anant (lifetime) (which reqd min recharge of 60 rs every 6 months ) and changed them to new excel ananth (which requires min 200

    recharge every 6 months) ....
