Software upgrade is also waiting for airtel hd and tata sky hd. it will work same as dish tv feature with same advantage and disadvantage. better go for either option 1 or 2. all dth having hd dvr may also allow to connect external hdd, to overcome limited capacity of installed hdd. Sent from my HuaweiU8300 using Tapatalk

you have 3 option 1) buy DVR and connect it tv and record cable tv/dth program running on tv, if hdd gets full then buy new & attach. 2) buy tata sky/airtel/reliance DVR which will allow u to record on HDD in that stb, which u cant pull out, and need to be watched from same stb 3) buy dish tv hd STB and buy external usb hdd and connect and record, which u cant pull out, and need to be watched from same stb the main difference between option 2 and 3 is that with option 2, u can record two program simultaneously, or watch one and record other, and hdd capacity limited to 500/320gb, some expert have replace original hdd with 2tb. with option 3, u have to compulsory watch the program, which is being record, and only 1 program can be recorded. but u can use 2TB hdd, if it gets full then buy new 2TB & attach. if u want tata sky+ then contact me or click here

1 for me, possibly 4th image let me know shipping charges

If U R Corepati, Then You Can Start Ur Own Telecom Company Get district license at just rs 10Lakh, no infrastructural cost needed, can use existing infrastructure and start telecom company as MVNO TRAI recommends district-level telecom operators in new unified license Overruling objections by big telecom operators, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has recommended allowing district-level operators. Anyone, including local cable operators, will now be able to offer landline and mobile, Internet and other services after paying the Rs 10 lakh entry fee per district, if the recommendations are accepted by the Government. In addition, there will also be a national-level license, saving operators the trouble of applying for a license in every state. Taking a different approach to the wireless-is-everything thinking, the Indian telecom regulator TRAI also pushed for strong roll-out and incentives for fibre optic networks in the country. It also wants the government to allow people to make calls from their computers to phones through VoIP -- services such as Skype and Google Voice (Gmail.) In its recommendations on how to merge existing licenses and create a “Unified Licence” encompassing Internet, mobile, landline and media distribution, the TRAI dismissed the opposition of big operators to the entry of small, district-level operators. It pointed out that district-level operators, either independent or virtual (MVNO) is possible in today’s atmosphere. “Studies have shown that nearly 70% of the outgoing traffic from rural areas is meant for a destination within the district. Of this only 20% traffic goes to another district and hardly 10% to another State. International calls represent less than 1% of the traffic,” it pointed out. “Such licences will spur local initiatives in creation of broadband infrastructure and introduction of innovative services. There is a possibility of smaller players like cable operators and infrastructure providers coming in. This would lead to larger infrastructure creation and introduction of newer technologies in the network,” it said. “All these would translate into higher broadband penetration, greater contribution of telecom to Indian economy, fair and equitable access to the triple-play [voice-data-media] network within communities at district level and more affordable services to the customers. “It is expected that with the inception of a district level licence, we would see country wide availability of a wide range of services within the next 2-3 years,” it added. TRAI pointed out that the existence of large number of state-level operators has not led to much improvement in the penetration of services, especially broadband and landline, in India’s rural heartland. It pointed out that state-level operators focus only on district headquarters, especially in broadband, and tend to leave the other areas out. “A national or a circle level operator would have a dispersed focus and cannot plan with same intensity for each and every district. The overall objective of planning and allocation of resources for such an operator would be to optimize on a national or circle basis as the case may be. “A district level licensee, on the other hand, could focus on spreading services all over the district and would be able to do so in much lower outlay as compared to what national/circle level operators would do for their service areas. “A district level operator can also focus well on the requirement of the ‘local’ population taking care of local tastes, preferences, culture and language options,” it added. “The existing roll out obligations were very lenient and urban centric. The service providers were mandated to provide coverage only in the district headquarters or major towns as a result of which, even 15 years after the introduction of mobile service in the country, the rural teledensity was low... “most of the broadband proliferation is taking place in the urban areas with only about 5% of the total broadband connections being in rural areas,” it added. It also dismissed the argument that wireless broadband, such as 4G TD-LTE and Wimax, will be able to fulfill the demand for high-speed Internet. “Provision of broadband through wireless has limitations. The bandwidth offered by prevalent wireless technologies is shared among the users active in a cell, making it difficult to offer high bandwidth required by many applications in rural and urban areas. “.. in rural areas applications like e-health, tele-education other services would require bandwidth in the range of 3-4 Mbps. “In urban areas applications like video streaming, HDTV and 3G gaming would push up the requirement to 8 Mbps or more in future. “In such a scenario wireless broadband cannot be the sole means of broadband proliferation in rural and urban areas. In addition, increasing broadband traffic will give rise to greater requirement of scarce spectrum. “According to a study about 70% of wireless traffic is generated indoors resulting in wasteful use of spectrum. The choice therefore shifts to optical fiber and cable as important media for proliferation of broadband. “Optical fibre networks being cost effective, resilient, robust, supporting low latency and easily upgradable are being perceived as long term solution to support enormous bandwidth requirement in the core, aggregation and access networks. The Government is already setting up a National Broadband Network, which will be an open access optical fibre network extending upto the villages. TRAI pointed out that district-level operators, including cable TV providers, will be able to tap into this fibre network and extend it to the local population for very high speed Internet. It recommended a an entry fee of Rs. One crore for the state level, 15 crore for national level and Rs. 10 lakh for the district. Currently, operators have to pay Rs 200 crore for the state-level license, the only one in existence. It also said that Internet users in India should be allowed to call phones directly from their computers if they so wish, as is possible in most parts of the world. “Accordingly, Internet telephony has been included in the scope of the Unified Licence,” the TRAI said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://online.wsj.co...3959516814.html NEW DELHI – India's telecommunications regulator Monday proposed the government should allow all telecom services under one license and charge an entry fee of 150 million rupees ($2.9 million) for a permit covering the whole country, in an effort to simplify the process for companies wanting to enter the sector. At present, companies need to take separate permits for each of India's 22 telecom service areas and for different offerings such as fixed-line services, basic mobile telephony and Internet. Apart from the pan-India license, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India recommended two other levels of licenses -- at service area and district levels -- with a one-time entry fee of 10 million rupees and 1 million rupees, respectively. For the service areas of Jammu and Kashmir and the northeast, which are considered remote, it suggested an entry fee of 5 million rupees. A service area usually covers a state or a large city. Apart from the entry fee, operators will need to continue paying a portion of their adjusted gross revenue as annual license fee, it proposed. In February, the telecom minister said under unified licenses, telecom companies would have to pay 8% of their adjusted gross revenue as fees. Telecom operators currently pay 6%-10% of their revenue as license fees for basic mobile services, depending on the areas in which they operate. The proposals will be discussed by the Telecom Commission, the highest decision-making body in the telecom department, which will make a final decision. They are expected to become part of a new telecom policy, which will likely be announced by June. The new policy comes amid India's drive to clean up the telecom sector following allegations of large-scale rigging in a sale of licenses and bandwidth in 2008, which put the government under pressure. The Supreme Court recently cancelled all the 122 licenses allotted without auctions in 2008. The regulator has also suggested bringing telecom tower companies under the license regime and proposed that foreign companies be allowed to hold up to a 74% stake in tower firms, as is the case for telecom operators

New telecom policy to be in place by May: Sibal http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article3324430.ece The government on Tuesday said the National Telecom Policy (NTP) 2012 will be in place by May. “It (NTP) will be done in May. We have already said that,” IT and Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal told reporters on the sidelines of World IT Forum 2012. The Economic Survey had estimated NTP to be in place by June. The government through new telecom policy has made attempt to set roadmap for functioning and development of telecom sector starting 2012. According to government sources, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is about to start inter-ministerial consultation on NTP 2012 after which the policy will be moved to the Cabinet for approval. Under NTP 2012, it has been proposed to de-link spectrum from licences, reduce number of different licences, give industry liberal mergers and acquisition norms and remove roaming charges burden from consumers. They will also be allowed to retain same number across country. On Monday, sector regulator TRAI issued recommendations for Unified Licences that will be de-linked from spectrum and issued to all new companies entering sector under NTP 2012. These guidelines are vital for telecom companies whose licences have been cancelled by Supreme Court in February. Telecom Secretary R Chandrashekhar has said that DoT will try and speed up the new licensing regime in less than three months. Once approved, telecom companies can apply for telecom licences without owning spectrum and can perform businesses that can be carried out without using paid spectrum. TRAI has recommended one time non-refundable entry fee for Unified Licence shall be Rs 15 crore for National level, Rs 1 crore for each Service area level Unified Licences, except for Jammu and Kashmir and North East Service areas where entry fee will be Rs 50 lakh each. For each District level Unified Licence, the regulator has requested non-refundable entry fee of Rs 10 lakh. TRAI said it should be entrusted with the function of issuing unified licences. At present, DoT issues all types of telecom licences.

4G: Premature For India? http://www.lightreading.in/document.asp?doc_id=219739&piddl_msgid=346677#msg_346677 India's biggest telecom service provider Bharti Airtel Ltd. (Mumbai: BHARTIARTL) launched 4G earlier this week. The launch might have made put India on the global 4G map far ahead than most countries, however, not many are convinced if the technology makes real business sense currently. (See India Welcomes 4G Services.) While earlier India has been a follower on the global telecom technology landscape rather than a pioneer, this is not the case in case of 4G. We are ahead of the global telcos and are one of the earlier adopters of Long Term Evolution Time Division Duplex (LTE TDD). But isn’t it great that India has emerged as one of the pioneers of a telecom technology? Not really. As despite the technology lead it gives us, there are a couple of issues which just cannot be ignored. A key concern area is that there is hardly any time difference between the launch of 3G and 4G services in the country. Not just subscribers even telcos might be a little confused as to what they should focus on: 2G, 3G or 4G. Operators will have difficulty in defining the Unique Selling Proposition of 4G. Both 3G and 4G have speed as their differentiating factor. Besides, as the 3G penetration figures show, subscribers have not lapped up 3G on speed alone. This effectively means that operators need to think of some other killer proposition to sell 4G services. (See 4G To Remain A Niche: Study.) Another lesson from 3G launch, which telcos seem to be ignoring is, that high tariff dont work in India. High tariff has been one of the key reasons for the slow uptake of 3G in the country. Bharti’s cost of dongle is about four times the cost of a normal dongle. This may prove to be a big hindrance in the adoption of 4G services in the country. The operators need to come out with cheaper devices and tariffs to drive the adoption of both 3G and 4G in India. (See Bharti's 4G: Not Yet For Mainstream Customer.) Secondly, the ecosystem. Bharti Airtel Ltd. (Mumbai: BHARTIARTL) launched 4G services earlier this week but only on dongles and WiFi Router. It is not without a reason that they haven't bundled any handheld devices for 4G services. There are hardly any devices in the price range an average Indian might be comfortable with. Morever the prices are so high that it is likely to witness adoption in extremely niche segments. It also depends on the kind of services and content which the operators come out with. However, since 4G is as yet available only on dongles and WiFi router, it might indirectly push the uptake of 3G. However, not everybody agrees with it. “It is good that we have launched 4G now. But the success or failure of the technology will depend on how it is positioned and how it is marketed. The prices will definitely come down once other players enter the market,” says Rahul Gupta, Senior Manager – Emerging Markets at Strategy Analytics. In the present form, 4G doesn’t change the dynamics of mobile broadband market in the country. All eyes are now on Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) , which can and should change the rules of the game. (See Bharti 4G Launch: What It Means For RIL, India's Broadband Potential and LTE Subs to Hit 17M in Four Years.) ----------------------------- how many of u think it's very premature stage in india? does RIL really chage game?

i also dont believe in 20 % figure if i check phone book from my other person's mobile phone thwn i found 90% reliance cdma customer and just 10% rgsm, even in state where rcom(previously reliance telecom RTL), then have ratio of 50-50% cdma to gsm base, when search phonebook.

@saurav i would suggest u I20 Sent from my HuaweiU8300 using Tapatalk

Yes i have been also told to pay rs500, and i will get 1 gb/month for 2 month free Sent from my HuaweiU8300 using Tapatalk

but device price of 8k is highly inexorable

what is trip duration? if it's more than 7 days then local sim is preferrd, but if it's for 2-3 days, get matrix or clay

funbook is seems to best choice in term of value for money and watching video via hdmi out and free photon+ and wider service network.

All circle plan chagned to above stated plan, and interesting 250min can be used for local and std calling when in home circle and TATA to tata local or std calling when roaming in tata network. In other circle. plan r already revised on website under 3g prepay plans. still this. Rcv is steal, no other 3g recharge for mobile or data card gives 600/720mb with 30days validity at below rs250.

visit any normal retailer and submit porting form thr. it will be done is ur problem is due to webworld checking name and address in thr system?

I have PORTED my existing (tata Docomo GSM) (original number was belong to tata inidicom,which is ported to docomo gsm , a year back) number 9271X*#$@1 to (Vodafone) (GSM) Reasons for Porting - ONLY option available to me. Grievances with existing Service provider - poor 3g signal in home and indoor Benefits that I see of the new service provider - strong 3g and 2g network in city/town/rural areas Porting Experience - porting code generated on 5th morning 8am visited vodafone store, given all docs, and paid rs 25 for blank mnp sim on 9th april 11.30am got sms saying ur request is successful, we will communicate date and time. on 9th april sim started showing limited service, as i was not communicated date and time, i lost rs 5 core balance with 300mb gprs balance. 10 april 12.15am, vodafone sim started, and sent sms for 3g activation, also send USSD for mnp customer and got rs 35TT immediately Any other important comment - although docomo plans are cheaper, 3g speed is faster, due to poor indoor coverage, i had to shift to Vodafone I paid rs 25 to Vodafone, but Vodafone has give me benifit of rs 35+35*2(2 month STV costing rs 35) for free, total paid rs 25, benefit received rs105, cost of porting = 25-105=negative 80.

port sucessful

u may ask for WLL number so u got landline line like number,, your number may not work in roaming or may work. I do provide sim, which has mobile number with national roaming except delhi and mumbai ALSO I can activate new number on UR CDMA/EVDO phone or modem. But programming has to be done from ur side, BSNL wont help u for programming.

yes cdma also cost 4.

rcdma and tata cdma is more focusing on EVDO via dongles and are least interested in CDMA prepaid or postpaid sim

is anyone available here in rimweb who can be better than sujit who has opted MNP 4 times!! ------------------------------------------------------------------- VERY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE I have decided to port into rcdma network. When inquired about process with rcmda cc, they told rs 21/25 chagres for MNP ( two different answer from two cc) when visited web world 1st web world- MNP process is not working now a days ( total disappointment) 2nd - u will be chagres rs 50 for blank sim + rechage of ur choice, zero TT ( they might be offering NON-OMH sim) 3rd- RS 100, no frc needed, u will get zero TT 4th- RS 150. and pay recharge of ur choice. 5th - rs 100, and u ll ger rs 22 talktime 6th (a retailer) - saying Rs 50 for non-omh sim and rs75 for omh sim + pay rechage of ur choice extra. all saying shortage of sim, so selling at high rate. EVERY WEBWORLD HAS big notice board saying SIM REPLACEMENT at RS 4(four), when asked, says, that Rs 4 blank sim is not in stock sao selling old omh/non-omh sim at high rate. SO dropped the idea of MNP for coming into reliance cdma I ll visit 3 more outlet in next two days to check their rate.

yesterday i had also given porting request with change of ownership, for prepaid, lets see what happen? but i am prety sure it wont get rejected.

and Shows that u opted MNP two time in 1 year BTW which was original operator? Which is going to be next operator?
