  1. The post that you are referring to was made on 15 September 2011. SnS had sent an email with the following content on November 15, 2011 after which it seems they are strictly following the regulations from the Customs Department: So it looks like the customs department is strict nowadays. On a side note, I was charged customs duty around Rs.200 for mobile accessories (not even battery, just plastic stuff!) worth Rs.650 for shipment that was delivered via normal post. However there was no customs duty for an electronic item worth around Rs.1000 that was shipped via normal post. Both items were from Hong Kong/China.
  2. Rs.10000 value item is certainly bound to pay customs duty fee. For a 54.43 USD invoice electronics item I shipped through them I was charged Rs.1046 customs duty (+ the shipping charge). This is how they calculated: Customs assessed value was determined as Rs.3529 (2884.79 INR + 21.125%+1% where 21.125% was cost of insurance & freight and 1% landing charge) and the customs duty for it was 26.8%, i.e.Rs.946 + Rs.100 INR broker fee. So I ended up paying around Rs.2000 (~Rs.1000 shipping + ~Rs.1000 duty) for an item costing Rs.2884
  3. Moneycontrol.com Sep 05, 2011 at 16:44 Reliance Communications , India's second-largest mobile phone carrier by subscribers, will restructure its wireless business over the next 30 days, a move that a source with knowledge of the matter said could slash 700 jobs. The debt-laden company, controlled by billionaire Anil Ambani, has reported eight straight quarters of profit drops and is betting on the sale of its telecoms tower business to cut its more than USD 7 billion net debt. Reliance said in a statement on Monday it would discontinue with its current structure with three regional heads, and would name a new chief operating officer, and create a "leaner and flatter" structure, but declined to comment on possible job losses. A source with knowledge of the development said the new structure would lead to reduction of a tenth of the wireless business's about 7,000 employees. "As far as cost reduction is considered, it's positive for the company," said KK Mital, head of portfolio management at Globe Capital in New Delhi. "But there are other issues as well," he said referring to Reliance Comm's heavy debt and operational performance that has lagged major rivals. Bigger rival Bharti Airtel restructured its operations in India and South Asia effective Aug. 1 to improve efficiency. The telco will collapse its existing business units that are carved out geographically - North, South and East - into a single entity reporting to a chief operating officer, who will be recruited from outside by month-end, executives with direct knowledge of the developments told ET. All support functions such as customer services, IT operations, networks and products, among others, will be moved to a newly-created 'services division'. After restructuring, about 75% of the RCOM's employees will do 'field roles' to drive sales execution as against 60% currently. RCOM now joins Bharti Airtel and Tata Teleservices who recently carried out major restructuring exercises by merging business verticals and reducing employee headcount. All telcos are focusing on cost-cutting measures to boost efficiencies as they fight multiple challenges of high debt burdens, slowing growth and high marketing spends amid cut-price tariffs. RCOM chief executive (wireless) Sayed Safawi said the telco was undertaking a 'structural rationalisation, including organisational de-layering, and making few key changes the leadership team'. "Eventually it may result in significant slimming of the organisation as a whole, especially at the back-end functional level, though the potential number impact is yet to be assessed," he said and clarified that the 'restructuring was not about head count rationalisation, but getting right resources at right places'. The company's northern region head Nilanjan Mukherjee will head the newly-created services division. Its current head of southern operations CS Rana has opted for 'superannuation', while Vivek Garg , who is incharge of the east, will be assigned a new role internally. Safawi dismissed as 'rumours', the market buzz that Bharti Airtel's former president for mobile services Atul Bindal may be headed to RCOM.

    No, if it is a full-blown review then it has to be separate topic.

    I did see that a month ago, anyway would like to inform here that that RIMweb does not sell on eBay even though I have an eBay account.
  11. Right. Small compromise for saving huge moolah on game disks. The more fun part a of PS3 is PSN... games can be completed with few hours of game play, but it is never ending fun with multi-player. Especially for award winning games like Uncharted. I had completed the game within a few hours but I won't sell the game disc because of the multi-player part which keeps you engaged always and you forget about the actual game.
  12. PSN (online multiplayer) games won't work with "cracked" PS3, right?

  14. Have to devise how customers less than 90 days can port: TRAI NDTV, Updated: February 02, 2012 12:51 IST After the Supreme Court cancelled 122 licenses issued in 2008 by former minister A Raja, the regulatory body for telecom TRAI has been asked to recommend a new process for allocating licenses and auctioning spectrum. This is what TRAI chairman JS Sharma told NDTV: - As far as the cancelled licences are concerned, together they hold less than 5% of the total base . In terms of numbers they may be big but in terms of percentages, it’s small. - We will have to issue necessary directives for the company to inform their customers (about cancelled licenses). - Customers who are affected can always port to a different operator .. there is no difficulty .. only for those customers less than 90 days old, porting is not possible. - We will definitely stick to the timeline (of recommending auction process in four months). We will issue a consultation paper in the next few weeks. - I will refrain on commenting on what is exactly is the status of these (cancelled) licenses .. let me read the judgement copy. - As far as the new guidelines is concerned we are yet to frame it … but auction is the way ahead in terms of policy.
  15. The plans are already posted here:

    Use a different IP range for the ADSL modem and see.
  17. Call customer care to have the plan changed. Quoting the exact plan code will help. No NUC charges if you use MDN:MDN (see the first post).
