Great!

It was, then I merged with this topic.

The dialer seems to be connected? You will be able to enter them before connecting only.

Can you post a screenshot of the DNS settings window?

Open the dialer software, click Settings > Settings again > select the "DNS Server" option and enter the DNS addresses there. Note: This is for the ZTE dialer, maybe in a different place for Huawie

oh, please convey my birthday wishes to him!

Right, nobody has a birthday today

3G auction Day 1: Total bid level at Rs 16,000cr Friday, Apr 09, 2010 at 23:17 | Source : CNBC-TV18 The much anticipated 3G auctions kicked off today. In a CNBC-TV18 exclusive interview, telecom minister A Raja said that the bidders were showing high motivation in the auction and that govt may allocate additional spectrum to winners based on TRAI's recommendations. CNBC-TV18's Siddharth Zarabi reports on the auction activity on Day 1. The official press release from the Department of Telecom while summarizing the activity of the auction for Day 1 says that five clock rounds were completed today. The total number of rounds completed to date are five. The total bids received in value terms, is Rs 16,000 crore. All 22 circles on offer for 3G have received bids. Nine circles have seen demand lesser than the number of slots that are being offered. Other circles have seen demand which is equal to or greater than the number of slots that have been offered. The following breakup gives a sense of what the competitive landscape is about. There are no details about who has bid what, who are the companies in the race or who are out of it is not known as yet. Delhi, in the fifth round saw a bid of Rs 373.29 crore, the aggregate demand at round five price was 3. There is no excess demand. Three slots are available. There is no excess demand. The next level, the addition will be Rs 3.73 crore. Mumbai comes next in terms of the level of demand at Rs 362.66 crore. Aggregate demand at the end of round five is 4. Excess demand is 1. Maharashtra, Gujarat. Andhra Pradesh have seen excess demand. Tamil Nadu circles like Karnataka, Kolkata, Kerala, Punjab have seen equivalent demand. Uttar Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh (West) are two circles that have seen no excess demand. Nine circles have actually seen a negative number. Haryana, where the round price in round 5 was Rs 134.65 crore. Aggregate demand at the round 5 price was 2, excess demand at this round was -1 (minus one). The -1 figure also applies to Rajasthan, it applies to West Bengal, it applies to Himachal Pradesh but with -3. Bihar with -3, Orissa with -3, Assam -3, North East -2 and Jammu and Kashmir -4. Virtually all the four slots in Jammu and Kashmir is seeing negative demand. The key design of this auction was as long as there are four or more bidders the increment level which is a predetermined level will be 10% falling to 5% falling to one 1%. So the two key takeaways at this stage is that the first day round has proceeded far faster than expectation. That is point number one. Some industry people who were involved in the bids said that the bids went beyond they went faster than they had expected. One new operator whose bid is lesser than for the national circles seems to have slowed down may not have dropped out. There is no official confirmation. The press statement does not say this. Given this, the government still maintains that it will take two weeks for this auction, the 3G auction only to take place. Industry seems to have a different view because the industry expects not more than 16 to 20 rounds for the entire 3G auction across 22 circles to pan out. This does not mean that circles are seeing negative demand. It means that they will not ultimately see demand. The bidders are allowed to come back after taking a break and they can take an aggregate break of one hour. It is a very complicated way but a bidder who may have bid for circle X today can come back till the last moment of the auction to get back in. So clearly at this point that we can conclude is, aggregate total price demand in terms of realization is expected at Rs 16,000 crore. 80% activity levels, which is not very good, Government sources told me that they expect the 80% level to go to 90% and eventually 100% which means that it will be completed. Sunday will be a holiday. All public holidays will be off for the auction. On the Rs 16,000 crore total bid value: The Rs 16,000 crore is in some ways better than what was initially expected. We have to consider this number in the context of the reserve price that has been set of Rs 3,500 crore which is nationwide. It is not an equal division for 22 circles. In the C category circles the reserve price is far lower, A category circles like Delhi, Mumbai have a far higher reserve price. The sense is that bidders have been conservative in their approach. There is no irrational or desperate bidding that can be seen from these numbers. They are watching what other bids are coming in. They do not know who is putting in that bid. They can only see that number flashing. So Rs 16,000 crore really means that the target that the minister told CNBC-TV18 earlier in the day is on track. We could perhaps see it being exceeded beyond that level. The only issue of concern is the lack of activity in several circles. But that can be attributed to the fact that they are category C circles which will see demand emerging at the end of the day.

3G, broadband wireless auctions may last 45 days 9 Apr 2010, 0312 hrs IST - Economic Times The auctions for 3G and broadband wireless airwaves that gets underway on April 9 is slated to be a long-drawn affair, stretching for as long as 45 days, said an official involved in the sale process. “The 3G airwaves sale may last about 15-20 days, while the bidding process for broadband wireless access (BWA) frequencies may take even longer,” this official, who did not wish to be named, said. Bidding for broadband spectrum will begin two days after the completion of 3G spectrum auction. Asked whether a marathon auction could hurt bidder appetite for 3G spectrum in India, a senior executive from one of India’s biggest telecom companies said: “It’s possible, but unlikely. The auction process could actually last for days as DoT has decided to invite bids for 22 circles in tandem. But it should not hurt telco appetite. It certainly did not in the UK, where the 3G airwaves auction continued for seven weeks, involving 150 rounds of bidding.” But what’s really interesting is the care that has gone into designing the 3G airwaves auction mechanism in India that is slated to pre-empt collusive bidding. Unlike most traditional auctions, “it will be the auctioneer who will drive the process and not the bidders,” a senior government official told ET, requesting anonymity. Experts agree that the auction is largely foolproof. “The 3G spectrum auction design deters collusive bidding. To prevent a bidder acting in concert from using specific bids to signal intentions to each other, the auctioneer (NM Rothschild & Sons and DotEcon), will present the bids in an ascending order. The bidders need to either accept the auctioneer’s proposal or decline. This is unlike other auction systems where it is the bidder who quotes sums in an increasing order,” said telecom analyst Mahesh Uppal, who is director, Com First (India). During the span of the auction, the operators will have to match DoT’s base price, which will be revised at each round. The revisions can range between 10%-1% over the previous round’s price depending on demand. The base price for pan-India 3G airwaves has been pegged at Rs 3,500 crore, while for BWA airwaves, it is Rs 1,750 crore. The government will auction three slots of 3G airwaves in 17 telecom services areas and four in the other five. Only two slots will be up for sale for broadband airwaves. The auction will be a protracted business as it will involve multi-staged bidding that will be conducted online in the nature of an ascending e-auction. For instance, consider circles such as Mumbai or Delhi where say six telcos are bidding for 3G frequencies. The auction starts with a reserve price of Rs 320 crore in each circle, and if all six telcos decide to bid, the auctioneer would raise the bid sum by 10% at every stage till the difference between the number of slots and bidders is less than three. Thereafter, DoT will keep raising the bid amount by 5% till the difference between the number of slots and the bidders is down to one. At this stage, when four telcos will be vying for three slots, DoT would hike the bid amount by 1% till there is ‘equilibrium’ — resulting in three telcos targeting three slots. Incidentally, at any stage during the auction, a bidder can pull out from one circle and transfer the bid amount to another circle. The auction will go on till all circles reach an equilibrium state. The auction will come to a halt if during the process of raising the bid amount by 1% a bidder pulls out and the number of slots exceed the number of bidders.

I think that will be available in IP.Board 3.1 - until then vote wisely!

You mean to correct an incorrect vote that you gave in a post?

Looks like a heating problem. Try getting a suitable fan to fit inside your cabinet.

You can email him as he said:

Something doesn't look right in the screenshot with the explorer.exe error. Either files are corrupt or your OS is infected with a virus. I would suggest a full/deep scan using an antivirus (like Kaspersky or Norton 360) and an anti-malware software like MalwareBytes.

No, will look at it

It will probably vary depending on the location where you are now. I got the best speed on Aircel GPRS than AirTel and Reliance GSM in Trivandrum.

Even though you can use third party browser in a BlackBerry, the default browser will open when you click on links in email. Yes, the default browser in BlackBerry OS 4.2/4.5 is no good if you compare with Windows Mobile OS.

BB 8830 is one of the best and I still have it. There are newer models available which obviously have more features, but for the price range 8830 is very good if you don't mind missing wifi.

Bharti doubles broadband speeds at no extra cost The Hindu Business Line New Delhi, March 18 In a move that could raise the bar for broadband services in the country, Bharti Airtel is launching a 4 Mbps wire line connection for just Rs 899 a month starting Friday. The company has also decided to make its existing broadband connections 50 per cent cheaper by doubling the speeds being offered to subscribers, without any additional cost. Therefore, all of Bharti's existing subscribers on 256 Kbps connection will automatically get upgraded to 512 Kbps speed at no extra charge by the end of June. Those who are currently on 512 kbps will start getting 1 Mbps; and 1Mbps subscribers will get speeds of 2Mbps. Speaking to Business Line Mr. K. Srinivas, Joint President-Telemedia Services, Bharti Airtel, “We are massifying the broadband experience by enabling users to access higher speeds at affordable rates. Our data shows that more and more customers want higher speeds. Average usage per customer has also increased by 40 per cent. “Therefore, we are redefining broadband speeds in India by upgrading all our subscribers to 512 Kbps even as the telecom regulator defines broadband as 256 Kbps.” The 4Mbps connection to be launched by Airtel is also 30-40 per cent cheaper compared with current market rates. With a 4Mbps connection users can download a 1 GB movie in 34 minutes compared with 9 hours taken in case of 256 Kbps speed. For Rs 899 a month, subscribers can download up to 6 GB of data after which the users has the option to pay at the rate of 10 paise for every additional MB downloaded or move to a 256 Kbps speed till the new billing cycle starts. According to industry estimates, the median for broadband usage per user is about 4 GB a month. Over the past six months, telecom players have got engaged in a battle for speed. Recently a Mumbai-based Internet Service Provider –Tikona launched a 2Mbps speed connection priced between Rs 299 and Rs 1,249 depending on the download usage. Tata Teleservices Maharashtra had introduced a 100 Mbps line in Mumbai, while State-owned BSNL is offering 24Mbps connection for Rs 9,999. There are also a bunch of CDMA operators who are offering 3G-enabled dongles with an average throughput of 1 Mbps speed for about Rs 1,500. Bharti Airtel's new 4Mbps offer will be rolled out in phases starting with four cities. The move is expected to prompt other players to come out with their own plans and offers over the next few days. At the end of December, Bharti had over a million broadband subscribers across 95 cities.

If it is not a Reliance BlackBerry 8830 handset then you will not be able to use Reliance CDMA's BIS service.

It is working fine
