India telecoms revenue seen at $25 bln by 2007 Source: Reuters News, March 08, 2004 NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Revenues in India's telecoms industry, one of the fastest growing markets globally, will grow to $25 billion by 2007 on soaring demand for wireless services in Asia's third-biggest economy, consultancy firm Ernst & Young said in a study released on Monday. India has more than 31.4 million wireless users and the number is expected to cross 100 million by 2005 because of low penetration rates as only three in a 100 people own a mobile phone compared with more than 20 in China. Some of the lowest tariffs in the world and cut-throat competition among carriers to woo users are also fuelling demand in the billion-plus country. "Tele-density will cross 20 percent in the next five years, beating the government's target by three years," the report said. "Telecom revenue will almost triple to $23-25 billion by 2007 from $9.0 billion in 2002." With handset costs as low as $50, and dropping, coupled with a huge pent up demand, mobile phones are no longer a luxury in India where even a large number of rickshaw drivers in metropolitan cities sport entry level phones. "Wireless operators will continue to focus on prepaid products in order to increase the adoption of wireless among the lower middle income and low-income groups," the report said. The telecoms industry is already the fastest growing component of the Indian economy which is forecast to expand at 8.1 percent in the year to March 2004. Although growth is at a rapid clip, Ernst & Young said the industry was ripe for consolidation as more than a dozen players, many of them money-losing, are unsustainable in the longer term. "Wireless is becoming a volume game with thin margins, and therefore, only large players, who possess economies of scale and deep pockets, will be profitable," the report said. "We expect that eventually only three of four large operators with pan-India operations will dominate while the smaller players will consolidate among themselves or with the larger players. Some of the leading carriers in India are Bharti Tele-Ventures Ltd , 28 percent owned by Singapore Telecommunications , Reliance Infocomm Ltd, state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd and the Indian mobile unit of Hutchison Whampoa <0013.HK> conglomerate.

Telecom rates crashing VSNL may lose out as Data Access offers to carry BSNL calls to US, UK at Rs 1.69 a minute Thomas K Thomas in New Delhi Published : March 9, 2004 In a blow to Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd’s (VSNL’s) monopoly in international long-distance services, the Siddhartha Ray-promoted Data Access has emerged the lowest bidder for carrying traffic from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd’s (BSNL’s) subscribers to the US, UK, Canada and West Asia. These sectors account for over 63 per cent of the public sector company’s outbound traffic. International long-distance rates in the country are expected to crash, with Data Access quoting a settlement rate of Rs 1.69 per minute, compared with Rs 6 offered by VSNL at present. If BSNL accepts Data Access’s offer, calling rates to the US, UK and Canada could come down by almost Rs 4 a minute. Settlement rate is the charge paid by the international long-distance operator in India to international carriers like AT&T and Worldcom for carrying its traffic to foreign destinations. VSNL has emerged the lowest bidder only for calls to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation countries, Saudi Arabia and Africa, which together account for 33 per cent of the country’s international traffic. Reliance Infocomm is the lowest bidder for the Southeast Asian sector, which includes Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malay- sia and Hong Kong. Bharti Tele-Ventures had also bid for the seven international long-distance sectors but failed to get the lowest bid in any of them. If BSNL allots the contract to the lowest bidder, VSNL will stand to lose around Rs 400 crore annually. But VSNL sources said it might not have any major effect on the company’s bottom line since a major chunk of the settlement rate would have to be passed on to the international carrier. VSNL also gets a significant part of its profits from sharing its international long-distance infrastructure with BSNL. The two companies have already signed an agreement for sharing infrastructure till February 2005. BSNL is also expected to launch its international long-distance services before March 31, and is in talks with international carriers for settlement rates. Therefore, the settlement rate offers will be relevant only for 2-3 months. According to VSNL sources, the company has offered to negotiate on the settlement rates after April 1.

Trai for cap on mobile tariff plans Source: The Statesman, March 08, 2004 NEW DELHI, March. 8. —In a bid to cap the long list of confusing tariff plans, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) today came out with a consultation paper to limit the number of tariff plans for cellular as well as fixed line operators. The consultation paper would cover almost all the issues to limit the tariff plans including the number of plans to be permitted, the identification of service segments for the application of the proposed cap, and desirability of having minimum validity period of tariff plans. Trai, which has so far amended its Telecom Tariff Order (TTO) 30 times, would also look into the criteria in respect of tariff topping and promotional offers. “Frequent revision and withdrawal of tariff plans add to the confusion of customers. A possible way of addressing the problems without curtailing the flexibility granted to the operators or hampering the competition could be to place a suitable cap on the number of tariff plans that the service providers can offer,” the regulator observed in its consultation paper issued today. Trai further said that while a variety of choices for users would be a welcome development, too many plans confuse the customers and render informed choice very difficult. Explaining the nuisance of the tariff plants, Trai said in 2003 it received 3,925 tariff plans, out of which 1,421 were offered to subscribers. This means, telecom operators offered over 40 plans per circle in 2003. In addition to this, the operators also offered 500 promotional plans to its subscribers, the Trai.

Reliance Infocomm on the prowl Source: Times Of India, March 09, 2004 ON BOARD AMBANI’S JET: It’s not easy to hold Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani’s attention beyond a few minutes, even if you have been promised a 20-minute interview in Mumbai. So, the next best thing is to hitch a ride on his Bombardier jet. Despite Ambani’s request for time alone on board to prepare for a short-notice meeting in Delhi — and a sumptuous lunch in between — one managed to get him talking on two favourite topics: telecom and biotechnology. To begin with, Reliance Infocomm is looking at an acquisition in the telecom space and it could be on the lines of its recent takeover of Flag Telecom. Don’t expect anything in a hurry, though, as the move will take time. Ambani added that within three years the market would be forced to provide data on mobiles — not just TV clips but making handsets into transaction tools. Reliance Infocomm, for instance, is working on buying rail tickets through mobiles. Later, Infocomm subscribers won’t need to carry plastic credit cards. Users’ PINs, possibly even for the ATM, will be fed into mobile itself to make phones transaction tools. Discussions are on with Railways, credit card companies and banks. "Mobile phones today are like the bulb-stage of electricity," said Ambani. "Who could have imagined 100 years ago all that power enables today — computers, TV, Metros and so on. Similarly, everything will be digitised and there is so much to come." Long term, Ambani said, "With the same RF (radio-frequency) engineering, for instance, you can have two chips on your body that can monitor it for various things. With the same infrastructure, you can impact all aspects of life." Ambani was not keen to discuss Infocomm’s listing or offloading stake to strategic partner(s). He said it was a fully-funded project, with Rs 14,000-15,000 crore already invested." "We keep getting offers and valuations range from $6 billion to 12 billion or more. Those reports are all there," said Ambani. "The full value of the company is not reflected yet. Infocomm’s distinction is that its infrastructure will last a 100 years," he added. As for biotechnology, a lot seems to be happening at several locations in and around Mumbai, where scientists are busy working on various projects, away from the media glare. It is a private initiative and Ambani didn’t want to share details. He said within 5-7 years, Reliance would supply building blocks for much that happens globally in this field. Plans are to own several lines of stem cells and work with global institutions and companies to build products. "For example, we can take a cell from your heart and supply it (information, research and so on) to companies that will develop and deliver a new heart (muscles) for you. We will be just like Microsoft in IT, which supplies software but doesn’t build the entire system," said Ambani. Similarly, he talked about the possibility of taking hydrogen out of water and using it as the cleanest fuel. "There are millions of possibilities in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Changing raw materials and supplying building blocks. We are positioning ourselves for that," said Ambani.

I like hear more on C131, Is that has keypad backlight? Is Keypad button feels good? (they are easy to type) And 1234 service is highly priced Rs.2 per msg.

No news on this.. form long. I think summit will be right.

even in R-Surf rediff works but yahoo not. always get an error.

im not.

For linux in most cases.. COM1 = /dev/ttyS0 COM2 = /dev/ttyS1 COM3 = /dev/ttyS2 so u try ttyS0 to ttyS3 , in linux if u want to find out real good info on that then many "Mini How To" are available on net. search google for "how to COM port on linux" I am using USB cable and for that setup didn't ask any question. And to connect u have to use commands in terminal instead of that u can put shortcut on Desktop for that commands. In some case i got a good speed on linux than in windows.

No Visit, No Call, No Sms, No Miss call, Oh, No.. u r again in Jail.

Here another !decent talk.. ----------------------------- Trai seeks views on number portability TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ FRIDAY, MARCH 05, 2004 03:52:20 AM ] NEW DELHI : Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is seeking industry opinion on setting up guidelines for normal portability, a service that allows users to keep phone numbers when they change operators. "We will issue a consultation paper within a month," Rajendra Singh, head of mobile networks division in Trai said. "The deciding factor is cost to operator." Singh said Trai had studied implementation of number portability in several markets abroad and concluded that additional costs to make networks compatible were large. About 20 countries have number portability facilities and most markets have seen already brutal competition intensifying further after introduction of such facilities. ----------------------------- In US there number protability is from many years. Many user not change provider because of number change issue. and after number portability there another round of competition. This competition is mostly in between GSM players.

RIM's prepaid service targets the individual AJOY K DAS TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ WEDNESDAY, MARCH 03, 2004 12:53:49 AM ] KOLKATA: Get ready to welcome another facet of personalisation. Or call it individualism if you like. From clocks to wrist watches, music systems to walkmans and desktops to laptops, the personalisation of communication devices has rapidly come into its own. A close look at Reliance India Mobile’s (RIM) prepaid service, launched a little over two weeks ago, shows how this trend is now paying off for mobile phone companies. RIM has notched up a 3 lakh subscriber base across 111 cities, in which Reliance Infocomm had started its RIM pre-paid service. Reliance says this is beyond expectations. But what has come as a surprise after a survey of customer profiles is that as many as 43% of the 3 lakh subscribers are ‘no-phone’ individuals; in other words, consumers who do not have landlines. It’s a pointer to the changed perception of the mobile phone as a personal device, that it is preferred over a landline today. For Infocomm, the shift can translate into an opportunity to enter a virgin market with its prepaid CDMA service. “The trend has already emerged in China where a large number of mobile subscribers do not have landlines. This is beginning to happen in India too,” Kaushik Roy, head of marketing, Reliance Infocomm says. “The high number of RIM prepaid subscribers without landlines also indicated the success of our pricing and bundling strategy, which is being perceived as a value even by those who had been doing without a landline or using the neighbourhood PCOs,” he adds. Customer base profiling has revealed that the bulk of prepaid subscribers are businessmen from small and medium enterprises, professionals and students, in the 25-30 year age bracket. Another finding was that 45% of new RIM prepaid customers are existing users of the GSM service. “The sign of the times is individualism. So why share telephony? A landline is not pre-paid and not personalised and therefore has inherent disadvantages in controlling bills,” Mr Roy says. The marketing honchos at Reliance Infocom reckon that as its CDMA prepaid services grow to 1.2m subscribers over the next three months, the trend of ‘no-phone’ individuals starting to get networked will strengthen. “This is a new market that RIM pre-paid has opened up,” says Mr Roy. According to him, the full potential of the RIM prepaid service is yet to be unfurled because the depth of marketing and distribution reach will stabilise over the next three months and growth rates can only accelerate thereafter. But with this growth, Infocomm’s communication strategy will also evolve. Much of the advertising will move to Doordarshan for greater penetration, to match the wider marketing and distribution of the prepaid service. Presently, Infocomm’s communication of RIM’s prepaid service is at its first stage — building brand image, confidence and a perception of value proposition. Mr Roy said that once this is done, communication will move along twin routes. The first will address the high end of the market and possibly the metros, where RIM prepaid will be all about the internet, roaming in a single network and tie-ups with Nokia and LG for multi-media. On the second track will be communication for smaller towns where the focus will be on cheaper SMS and talktime, roaming rates with primary Motorola handsets and RIM’s basic values.

Look at top where u can find really good looking search button. (besides the Help) IPB has good search capability. oh ashok already replied..

Hello samar, ur post has been moved to this thread. If u use Redhat then no prob for u. U can find the driver here. if other then check the posts above..

For full feature list.. Go to Telson site

Well, One has to remember that "No one as good as you think And no one as bad as you think". every single entity in this world has some Strong point and Weak points so reliance has, Reliance rules in Data Services. no service provider give R-World like service if they are charge for R-world, I am sure may will agree to pay for that. Here hutch provides GPRS and people pay for that.. monthly Rs.100 + If they download Ring tone Rs. 7 per ring tone + Rs.10 for wall paper per download + Rs.35-100 for game download. i know may who pay for that. we are getting FREE. Hovs, your main problem is u get bill for month of march. at the same time we purchased a phone. I bought a phone in Feb 2003 and i also got a bill for month of March and April. and that time i also heard that reliance is not charging us for this month. but i asked cust care and they said that "U will be charged for off-net charges if applicable" and remember that time reliance never Advt. that they are giving Free call now. that is said by sales agents. so i never made a call that is not needed. I am sure that time that RIM to RIM is free for now so I made a lots of call for that and i didn't received any Bill. so Never attracted by a word FREE. And as far as false advertisement issue, every single company advt. like that their product is the best one. Is it a "Cola" or "Washing powder" everyone try to push in customer mind that their product is best. At the time of May and June i am also the most unsatisfied customer. when I heard this... 1) started to 60 sec pulse. 2) 400 min free only RIM to RIM. 3) and 40p / min is now only RIM to RIM. I also started to tell that Reliance=Chor. but when i calculated Other service providers charges and what I got free form reliance. after making all balance i found my self in + not in - . All three point i mention above is not direct control on reliance so all this happened. One of my friend bought a Airtel connection 3 month back and that time Airtel people said that your call charges is XYZ and not change up to next six month. and by apply of new IUC he charges are increased. so what he will do now Is he started to tell that Airtel=chor. No that is not proper way.

At RWW ppl saying that "Reliance coming with Postpaid --> Prepaid scheme but when they don't know".

Today I purchased RIM prepaid for my brother. (RD 2030 Handset) more will come..

Well, For hovs, his tendency to criticizing RIM. so this type of statement is not new from him. But if he do it by well balanced thinking then it is worth to read his posts. R-connect is 5 to 6 time faster then Dial-up. and in night time BSNL connection is hard to get. in Day time BSNL dial-up cost about 30 RS. and R-connect cost just 24 Rs. per hour. Reliance is serving in about 1200 cities. and my city of one of them and here in my area CABLE internet connection is not yet come. some providers are planning to start in next six months. So think from that 1200 cities how much cities have CABLE connection. And if cable cost Rs.1200 is high then what about Rs.6000 cost of CABLE modem. and yet china made cables are available at just Rs. 300 - 600 only. And if u use FWT or FWP (Fixed wireless phone) then Same R-connect speed u get at Price of BSNL's Dial-up. with Effective monthly rental ZERO.
