To check if this is genuine or not, while making online payments, now all the banks/rbi has put up a double password system while you make an online payment. The second password, is to be created, by going to your bank's website and registering your card/account...

nice...

September 30, 2009 Bloomberg Bharti Airtel Ltd., India’s largest wireless operator, and South Africa’s MTN Group Ltd. called off merger talks, scrapping a proposed $23 billion transaction that would have been the world’s biggest cross-border deal this year. Abandoning talks for the second time in two years, Bharti said the structure of the deal failed to meet the approval from the South African government. South Africa’s treasury said the talks ended on a mutual agreement by the companies to disengage. The structure “needed an approval from the government of South Africa, which has expressed its inability to accept it in the current form,” Bharti said in an e-mailed statement. Bharti asked for an opportunity to revive the deal after the deadline for exclusive talks ended today. Bharti on May 25 had offered 86 rand ($11.4) in cash and half a stock for each MTN share for a 49 percent stake. As part of the transaction, MTN, Africa’s biggest mobile-phone company, and its shareholders would have acquired 36 percent of the New Delhi-based operator. Bharti said at the time the value of the transaction may exceed $23 billion. The decision to scrap talks will set back the operators’ efforts to create a company that would have helped them trim costs and challenge Vodafone Group Plc in Africa and India, where the world’s biggest mobile-phone company has been targeting growth. Bharti’s Chief Executive Officer Sunil Mittal is facing increasing competition at home from Vodafone and Japan’s NTT DoCoMo Inc. and MTN wants to expand outside Africa. “It will be a huge setback” to Bharti’s aim of becoming a global player, said Romal Shetty, executive director for telecommunications at KPMG’s Indian unit. “The ability to leverage things will reduce, it will take time.” Government Objection South Africa’s rand fell the most in nearly two months as speculation ended on currency purchases to fund the deal. The rand depreciated as much as 2.5 percent to 7.6158 per dollar, the biggest drop since Aug. 6. MTN shares fell as much as 3.5 percent before they were suspended. The South African Treasury said in a statement that the government didn’t block the deal. The proposed terms of the deal had required certain approvals as the planned structure was “outside the current exchange control regulatory framework for such transactions,” it said. Earlier today, Communications Minister Siphiwe Nyanda said in Johannesburg that the government wants MTN to remain a South African company with local management, “It would be sad if we saw this entity move into the hands and management of foreign nationals,” Nyanda said. “Its management must remain South African.” More Info

^^^ thanks dushie....

India is still not ready properly for wireless broadband... Wired broadband is much better than wireless at the moment atleast.. I am using BSNL EVDO... its not that great... also, it depends on the number of towers it has in a particular place... Here, in my office, I have very good connectivity, whereas in my home the connection s**ks... even dialup is far better.. But as u said, im using it only to download unlimited, movies, games, etc... its a bargain at 650+taxes.... (550 is for older customers, and even they will be charged 650 from january onwards)...

I am planning to buy a device like this. But I am confused and have certain doubts (some might be very basic also).. a) I want to know, can we attach an external CD/DVD player to it? or a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive to it? b ) I mainly want to buy this for using it with my 5.1 Home Theater. Does anyone advice this for me? c) There are hundreds of movies which can be downloaded from the internet, and then they could be transferred to this device. But then will those downloaded movies (avi, mpeg, etc formats) have the capability to send pure Dolby surround sound through this device? d) I have still not been able to understand a proper home theater, can someone please send me a dummies guide of understanding how a 5.1 home theater work? e) Are there any other players similar to this product available in the market? If yes, can you post links, or anywhere in Delhi where I can get these? Thanks all in advance..

^^ Nice new... but in order to sustain the top spot, tata should keep providing its customers or new customers something new every month...

You gotta see this... Its the heights of 'wait'ness... A group of kids was put in room individually with one marshmallow, told them to wait and will return with one extra marshmallow. No idea what is the purpose but I guess that’s to show how tasty marshmallow is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMkn4J_l9uU&feature=player_embedded

Soooperb... LOL...
