The Indian Telecom Industry is on the growth trajectory since many quarters with more and more operatirs joining the bandwagon of existing operators to make a mark for themselves. The consumers have never been spoilt for choice earlier. There are at least 8-10 players in each and every telecom circle offering umpteen number of schemes and the customer is at liberty to choose the best plan that suits his indiviual needs. The latest in the telecom industry is "transparency" and "unconditional" plans. Tata Docomo has definitely changed the way people get billed for their calls by introducing "pay per second" tariff wherein the customer pays only for what he uses unlike in per minute billing where the customer has to pay for unutilised seconds as well rounded off to the nearest minute. And in unconditional plans we have the simple plan from Reliance offering local, STD, roaming and sms at 50ps/min for lifetime without any conditions. It can be said that these would be the base tariff plans for now and any scheme that is evolved would only bear resemblance to these schemes as these are the best schemes in their own category. Many existing operators have jumped onto the per second billing basis, definitely with some modifications. This has confused the Indian consumer even more. Should they opt for "transparency" or "unconditional offers" I have decided to compare the best tariffs in the market, the Tata Docomo per second billing and Reliance Simple Plan for a month (almost). I have attached a file denoting the kind of usage and the charges incurred on Simple and the Docomo style of billing. The inference I have been able to draw is that the longer the duration, Simple works out to be the cheapest, and on the contrary shorter the call duration Docomo is the best. Have a look at the sheet yourself and do let me know your valuable suggestions, complaints, criticisms and I would be glad to accept them with humility and try and do a better job the next time RCOM.xls

I have recently purchased a Dell Studio 15 Laptop with Windows7 home premium 64bit loaded on it. I had the problem that I was unable to share files on my network between my other XP and Windows7 Ultimate (32bit) computer. I've checked that the workgroup names are the same and that file sharing is enabled, but it still didnt allow me to access files between my these pc's . I have no trouble accessing files on the winxp machine from my Dell (W7 HP 64bit) machine, but it wont work the other way around. It gave me an access denied error due to permissions, even though I let it have full control. SOLUTION: It seems that the XP machine and my other W7 32bit uses the "guest" account, and Windows 7 and Vista by default does not give permission to the guest account, even if u select sharing for "everyone". So basically all you have to do is go to the properties of the folder you want to share, click on the Security tab, add "guest", and give it access. thats it I was banging my head since yesterday, so I thought I would share with everybody....
