Corporates are desperate to get their technologies approved as standards, after which they have no intention of any interoperability. Take the case of Microsoft's OOXML a version of which was standardized even though no software can/does implement the standardized version fully. The manner in which i got its non standard OOXML standardized was by bribing the representing members/organizations of the countries(most of them from Europe). India, South Africa and Brazil opposed OOXML. Even in India, Microsoft along with many Indian IT companies (Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Nasscom and others) wanted it to be approved as BIS standard and voted along with Microsoft. But fortunately academic institutions with IIT Mumbai taking the lead, government organizations and some other companies opposed it and instead preferred OpenDocument. ( For more details please read the BIS Documents on OOXML.) Thanks to their efforts, we have a truly open standard for all documents in India. To see to what lengths a companies like Microsoft could go in getting their standards approved you should read Prof Deepak B Phatak's Open Letter. I believe in not reinventing the wheel. But if the wheel fits only one car, then one is left with no other choice but to reinvent it. This is exactly the situation with using the European report for India. It may or may not fit India. We cannot be sure of the lobbying that has taken place in many European countries by corporates. It is therefore necessary that all the stakeholders in India be involved in drafting a policy document for India.

How to buy, the webpage http://www.mydala.com/archivedeal/Letsbuy_3043 has no option? Guys, this deal can be bought using this direct working link... http://www.mydala.com/deal_buy.php?eventid=3043&mdid=311cb4bb649585f897c28cfc0e6cd49b

This deal has been a headache till now, I guess it was not started in good "muhurat". We did whatever we could do to reduce the loss, now time to forget it and look further. If we get refund from Paypal it's good, otherwise also it's good because from now on we will be more careful while selecting the sellers, knowing his feedback in more detail, not just in numbers.

Why is TRAI wasting efforts in reinventing the wheel when other countries have already worked on cloud computing regulatory framework and interoperability standards, why does TRAI not build on these concepts and align them to Indian ecosystem. E.g. This Europe report has several recommendations on how the regulatory framework should be.

Keep aside the national security & individual privacy angle for a moment because that makes people angry (Rightly So..) what with many of the ill-informed, hasty, ambigous, non-uniform policy directives in recent times regarding Blackberry, Nokia, Internet, Telephone interception etc. from the govt. (Not TRAI) But isn't the other points for discussing regulation are far more important when Cloud Computing is going to be/already is billions of dollar industry. The point of discussion is more from the angle of Consumer. Question is if there is a wide spread service which will be availed by millions, can all the rules of the game be decided by the Service Providers themselves keeping only their interest in mind or should there is a broad policy framework which protects the interest of all and allows the sector to be run in an organised manner. If one just looks at the following areas listed in the discussion paper, the need is imperative. Imagine a hypothetical scenario. I am an SME operating in India. There are millions. Now because of Cost Effectiveness, Clould Computing is an attractive proposition for me. I consider 2-3 different service providers. Each one has its own terms & conditions for the above points. And as usual all the terms are always structured according to the convenience of the service provider. I don't have any say in that. What do i do? I may select the least bothersome among them but does that fulfill my needs, data security & privacy, availability levels, jurisdiction issues, QOS, inter-operability etc? Probably not and absence of any regulation (which is the case presently) leaves a large industry to function pretty much in the wild and run amock as they like it ignoring all this legitimate issues. If we don't associate this proposed regulations as a curb for Individual Freedom (I don't think that looks like the intention of the Regulator based on areas listed), there is an undeniable need for it. Let's hope TRAI comes out with progressive, growth oriented and well thought out regulatory framework. I am hopeful because their starting point is gathering papers/point of view of all stakeholders, discuss and then evolve the framework.

Exactly the same views I also have.... Thanks Rajan for the clarification.... Any headway in your case? In this instant case, PayPal already knew of the FRAUDSTER and yet they are insisting on returning the item and that too, at our total cost? This is what riles me. Rules need to be followed no doubt, but when PayPal already knows that this is a FRAUDSTER case, they should relax rules and refund our money immediately without any further questions. This is what is my viewpoint.

Kumaar I totally agree with you and there is every reason to be riled, my point to Rajan was that the rules are same for EBay India and US. These rules are in the EBay guarantee. Fraudster sellers are aware that most buyers do not bother shipping back at their own cost and use this to their own advantage, as in this case. But if you see the T&C there is provision of EBay providing full refund i.e. In unusual circumstances, eBay may pay return shipping.. So try following up with EBay and reasoning with them on this point so that you get full refund. All the best.

I've sent you the qpst saved file from a Pixi Plus with 1X Data working perfectly fine. Hope this helps solve your problem.
