source Open Market for CDMA Handsets Continues to Grow as CDG-Led OMH Initiative Enters Next Phase of Global Expansion OMH Success and Device Selection in India is Creating Greater Flexibility and Consumer Choice COSTA MESA, Calif., Feb 23, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- The CDMA Development Group (CDG) today announced that the open market for CDMA2000® handsets has grown considerably in India since the CDG-led OMH initiative was launched in 2009, and is expected to expand to new regions worldwide this year. In addition to the first OMH-enabled handset, the Samsung MPower 699, five more devices are now available: Micromax's C350; Samsung's Corby 339, Duos 259, and MPower Muzik 219; and SIM Technology's C24. Reliance Communications, Sistema Shyam (MTS), Tata Teleservices and Virgin Mobile India are all offering OMH SIM cards and supporting OMH devices on their networks to provide greater user choice and flexibility. Consumers in India can now select the CDMA2000-enabled OMH device, network and mobile data services they desire. "Over the past six months, we've seen the open market model provide a larger CDMA2000 device selection," said Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG. "India has lived up to its promise as an ideal launch market for OMH, and we look forward to expanding the OMH initiative worldwide this year." OMH, part of the CDG's Global Handset Requirements for CDMA (GHRC) initiative, enables operator-specific network configuration, service provisioning and subscriber-identity data to be moved from the handset's internal memory onto a next-generation OMH SIM card. By doing so, the handset becomes a generic device that can be sold on the "open market" and used by multiple operators, providing consumers a greater selection of CDMA2000 devices and the flexibility to select the operator and mobile data services they desire. The open market model also improves device time-to-market, expands distribution channels, and reduces inventory risk for manufacturers and operators. The CDG is working with over 50 CDMA operators, device and R-UIM/SIM card manufacturers and distributors worldwide to bring more OMH devices to market and assist operators to configure their networks to support OMH. In addition to the Indian operators, CDMA operators in Bangladesh, Indonesia and Nigeria are also OMH-compliant and will be supporting OMH devices on their networks later this year. "As a member of the CDG, Qualcomm is working closely with device manufacturers and CDMA operators to implement this strategically important initiative," said Nakul Duggal, Vice President, Qualcomm Corporate Engineering Services. "Micromax, Samsung, SIM, MTS, Reliance, Tata and Virgin Mobile have all taken a leading role in promoting the value of OMH. As more and more device manufacturers and operators in Nigeria, Indonesia and elsewhere become OMH-compliant, we believe the OMH initiative will increase CDMA device variety and provide greater subscriber flexibility." OMH SIM cards for CDMA2000 devices are more powerful than traditional SIM cards, enabling the most advanced service features available on the market, including voice services, SMS, MMS, downloadable 3G packet data applications, location-based services and high-speed Internet browsing. In addition, the broadband data capabilities of OMH devices will take on an increased significance in India, where CDMA broadband data services are already available to Indian consumers and enterprises. OMH SIM cards are also backward-compatible and can support the same quality of services enabled by existing R-UIM enabled devices. OMH-compliant devices and SIM cards are easily recognizable by the trademarked OMH gem logo.

Airtel Shuts Down Mobile Service In Manipur source :: http://telecomtalk.info/airtel-shuts-down-mobile-service-in-manipur/64255/ It's utter shocking news !!! For the last 5 years, I always had this fear. Telecom towers are the easiest target for the anti-social elements to create immediate socio-economic impact with very minimal man effort. Let us pray and hope Manipur govt swings in to action before other operators move in this direction. Central govt needs to support state govt to bring back normalcy at the earliest since telecom service has become basic service like food, shelter and water. Powerful reaction which Manipur govt takes now should leave reverberating fear impact on other anti-social elements across the country.

Normal People have to Activate RWorld plan for Handset and again NetConnect plan to Tether to PC

Wow.. So they are playing this drama all over the world and NOT only in our country.. Nice trick... 1. First go for 50:50 agreement... 2. Then Give some nasty (GFs mom) and attractive ads, to earn some name like youth-centric operator quickly... 3. Next bring complicated tariffs to earn some quick money, first call Rs1.50 then 50p on second call onwards.. 4. Later if customer finds their true-face, pack your things and go back to UK... 5. Finally ask the partner to pay for using their BRAND... Seems VIRGIN is no-more virgin every-where...

now i cant resist myself from posting this Rajan bhai's name should be RAJAN GOOGLE OF DEALS MEHTA or I would say SACHIN TENDULKAR OF DEALS mind blowing efforts...:clap:

It is all because of inefficiency and corruption and no will power of puppet governments

Another line of thought Lets rewind and see why CDMA earlier was not successful in attracting high ARPU subs or for that matter why original 900 Mhz license holders continue to hold the best customers(high ARPU) The reason is "Customer Lag" - sheer laziness exhibited by a large number high ARPU customer base(both individuals and corporates. This is most exhibited in voice rather than data, where mobile number is not relevant(I'm discounting MNP here) ROUTE # 1 In the case RIL becomes a MVNO, OR, takes over a existing GSM or CDMA operator Target 1. Attract the high ARPU data customers - which will be driven through dongles, tablets and can have potentially good traction based on entry price etc 2. Attract high ARPU voice customers who potentially use data on their handset - which will have limited traction. Reason being a. Limited number of customers appreciate high speed on mobile(especially 4G) b. If entry barrier is -change operator + buy new high priced handset to enjoy high speed - will it get traction Hence customer lag might win here and we might see a very small niche enthusiast adopting RIL 4G ROUTE 2 RIL become a bulk seller of 4G data to both CDMA and GSM operators RIL will continue to attract high ARPU data customers and will ALSO DE-RISK the option to acquire high ARPU users of different carriers - who potentially can use 4G on their handsets Will existing carriers be interested in this deal(ROUTE 2) ? Yes - because by that time 3G will bleed them and they would not be willing to risk high capex in setting up a owned 4G network immediately We have already seen carriers resorting to intra circle roaming agreements to save on CAPEX and this will be a logical step forward Also because none of existing carriers(except AIRCEL) has a BWA license as of now, and with exception of BHARTI, I do not see others getting into it either

Virgin in USA and Canada left the 50:50 venture of the MVNO and parent operators pay to Virgin for using Virgin brand. Same thing is done by TTSL . @topic starter - please edit and copy the full post from Teleocmtalk.

it's correct, That virgin is abosbed by tata few month ago. One of good strategy to keep virgin mobile in india is Rebrand all tata indicom CDMA customer to Virgin mobile benefit 1)As TTSl are agree to pay royalty after exiting venture 2) too many brand will make more confusion, 3) Virgin mobile brand for CDMA, will attract more youth youth, that way increase tata subsciber base. 4) no interested config between DOCOMO and VIGIN. both foreign partner will cater to different need 5) DATA yasge on mobile( currently branded as SPEEDLIVING) can be extented with vigin mobile brand as Vbyte(international brand) with EVDO backbone.

4G/LTE Developments in US China and Russia and Japan 1. US - LTE is being launched by both AT&T and Verizon – biggest carriers in US. Only Sprint Nextel is on WIMAX and is rumoured to be shifting to LTE in near future a. Wimax Devices available as of now – 10 b. LTE devices available as of now – 9 2. China Mobile is also rolling out TD LTE network in 2300/2500 Mhz spectrum – similar to Indian market . 3. DOCOMO (Japan) and Vodafone (Europe) will also roll out FDD LTE in 800 Mhz band 4. YOTA- Russian carrier which is the biggest WIMAX deployed network in the world – is also planning to shift to LTE. Interestingly, YOTA’s biz model is being a third party 4G provider to all existing operators in Russia, so MTS user in Russia when he wants to use 4G automatically shifts to YOTA network on his 4G enabled handset Hence TD LTE Devices will be global & will evolve much like GSM Quadband devices Technology coexistence with existing standards (GSM/CDMA) 5. For both LTE and WIMAX - Co-existence with legacy standards (users can transparently start a call or transfer of data in an area using an LTE standard, and, should coverage be unavailable, continue the operation without any action on their part using GSM/GPRS or UMTS or CDMA 6. However, LTE in US is deployed at 700 Mhz in FDD LTE while in India the available spectrum band is 2300. Hence much like GSM evolution earlier, we will probably see launch of quad band handsets within LTE WIMAX currently operates on 2300 Mhz spectrum primarily both in US and Russia The FDD LTE and TD-LTE versions of the 3GPP standard are very similar. As a result, devices can support both the FDD and TDD interfaces through a single chipset--i.e., without any additional cost. This is a hugely important new development: TD-LTE will benefit from the wide availability of FDD LTE devices that will be able to support TD-LTE as well. Unlike WiMAX, TD-LTE does not need to prove to have a substantial market share to convince vendors to develop devices. Vendors do not need to develop new devices, they simply need to add TD-LTE support to the existing ones. Hence I believe Reliance Infotel will 1. Adopt LTE TDD 2. Source devices from China and US markets etc 3. Might become bulk data seller to other GSM, CDMA operators 4. Acquire strategic stake in Reliance Infratel (since ADA has unsucessfully tried to list the company) company 5. Acquiring spectrum from Etisalat, Videocon is also possible as both will be in the market after 2011 NTP Already Aircel – other BWA winner has tested LTE and might go that route

Yes it is Rajan. You are amazing. I have been searching for an hour on ebay, ebay global, letsbuy etc. but never found anything below 16K. Thanks a lot. BTW, have you bought anything from adexmart ? Anyway, i think i can safely go in for the Cash on Delivery option. Can open the box & see before paying the guy if anything seems doubtful. I guess it is about time tht we can easily say his highness rajan bhai can easily be named as the DEAL SEARCH ENGINE of rimweb. And indeed v guys have saved hell lot of money on deals due to his selfless efforts. Hats off to you bhai...
