Source London (PTI): Coming soon: Robot-insects! Yes, scientists are on track to develop robot-insects which they claim could eventually help police fight crime and even aid rescue teams searching for earthquake survivors. A team at Tokyo University, which has studied insect brains for three decades, is creating the robot insects -- in fact, it claims that the ultimate goal is to understand human brains and restore connections damaged by diseases. But to get there the scientists claim to be taking a very close look at insects' "micro-brains". Prof Ryohei Kanzaki said that insects' tiny brains can control complex aerobatics, such as catching another bug while flying, proof that they are "an excellent bundle of software" finely honed by hundreds of millions of years of evolution. For example, male silkmoths can track down females from half a mile away by sensing their smell. The team hopes to artificially recreate insect brains. . "Supposing a brain is jigsaw-puzzle picture, we would be able to reproduce the whole picture if we knew how each piece is shaped and where it should go. "It will be possible to recreate an insect brain with electronic circuits in the future. This would lead to controlling a real brain by modifying its circuits," Prof Kanzaki was quoted by 'The Daily Telegraph' as saying. The team has already made some progress. In an example of "rewriting" insect brain circuits, the team succeeded in genetically modifying a male silkmoth so that it reacts to light instead of odour, or to the odour of a different kind of moth. "Such modifications could pave the way to creating a robo-bug which could in future sense illegal drugs several kilometres away, as well as landmines, people buried under rubble, or toxic gas," he said. In one experiment, a live male moth was strapped onto what looks like a battery-driven toy car, its back glued securely to frame while its legs move across a free-spinning ball. The researchers motivate the insect to turn left or right by using female odour. They found that the moth can steer the car and quickly adapt to changes in the way the vehicle operates - for example by introducing a steering bias to the left or right similar to effect of a flat tyre.

Idea Cellular: Subscribers call in Source With 1.6 million net additions to its subscriber base in June compared with 1.3 million in May, Idea Cellular seems to be getting its act together. The telco has done well to hook users in the metros; in Delhi it added subscribers after losing them for two months while in Mumbai, the number of net additions nearly trebled. That’s creditable because wireless penetration in urban markets is more than 85 per cent. Idea also appears to be doing well in other states where it recently rolled out services such as Tamil Nadu, Orissa and Bihar. Whether the strong subscriber base translates into better operating metrics, remains to be seen. The Aditya Birla group company had turned in a strong set of numbers in the March 2009 quarter, despite Reliance Communications having launched its GSM service across 14 circles offering free minutes. The drop in the minutes of usage (mou), which fell just over 3 per cent to 402 minutes, was relatively strong while the fall in the average revenue per user (arpu), at 4.5 per cent sequentially to Rs to Rs 254, wasn’t bad either. Losses in the Mumbai and Bihar circles were lower too and going ahead, Idea’s operating leverage in the older circles should improve and ad spends should taper off. However, although the company has strong cash balances of nearly Rs 6,000 crore, it plans to use most of this for capital expenditure and may just need to borrow to bid for 3G licences. In the current year, Idea is expected to turn in revenues of close to Rs 13,500 crore and although cost pressures will continue as it steps up operations, it should post an operating margin of over 26 per cent. That could result in a net profit in the region Rs 825 crore.The stock rose 7 per cent on Tuesday to close at Rs 70; at these levels, the stock trades at an EV/EBITDA ( enterprise value/earnings before interest, tax and depreciation) multiple for 2009-10 of over 8 times which is a very slight discount to market leader Bharti Airtel.

Bharti Airtel To Pay Rs 20,000 For Sale Of Defective Blackberry Handset Indian Express.com Monday , Jun 08, 2009 at 0507 hrs IST Chandigarh: The UT State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has directed Bharti Airtel to pay Rs 20,000 as compensation after they were found guilty of selling a defective Blackberry phone handset to a customer. It was in response to the directives of the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum to pay Rs 20,000 as compensation for harassment and Rs 5,000 towards litigation costs, that the company had moved the commission. The complainant, Anil Malhotra, an advocate and resident of Sector 16, purchased a Blackberry handset from Sector-8 outlet — The Radius — for Rs 24,909 in August 2008. The handset was under a one-year warranty period and it was averred that any problem regarding the set shall be attended to at Chandigarh. After the trackball in the handset developed a fault, the complainant reported the matter in January 2009, stating that the trackball was functioning sideways only and not up and down. The complainant stated that on contacting the Airtel outlet here, he was denied help on the pretext that the outlet only dealt in bill payments. The complainant further alleged that the facilities offered by Bharti Airtel for Blackberry phones are not available in Chandigarh. In its reply, Bharti Airtel pleaded that they neither sell nor manufacture Blackberry handsets. The Blackberry support team had assured the complainant that a replacement of the defective set would be done in Bangalore without any charges, during which he would be provided with a standby set, contended Bharti Airtel. While dismissing the appeal, the commission held: “The repeated emails, correspondence and on-record copies of these, prove that the complainant wasted a considerable amount of time and energy in contacting various officials.”

Airtel directed to pay Rs 25,000 as compensation Source The District Consumer Disputes Redressal forum has directed Bharti Airtel to pay Rs 25,000 as compensation for adding “illegal charges” in a consumer’s bill. The company has been directed to remove the charges from the bill and pay Rs 2,200 as cost of litigation to the complainant. The complainant, Sukhjit Singh Bains, who lives in Sector 48, got a landline telephone connection of Bharti Airtel, which was under a combo offer with Internet DSL. As per the plan, the Internet DSL was free after 9 pm. However, when Bains got the bill for July 2008, he found that Rs 1,068.66 and Rs 2,927.18 were charged for using the Internet after 9 pm. He went to the Sector-34 office of the company to complain, but no action was taken. Then he moved the consumer forum. In its reply, Airtel said under the DSL TOPUP 49 plan, the benefit of free Internet after 9 pm was applicable only if the consumer logged in after 9 pm. But as per complainant himself, the company said, he had logged in before 9 pm and continued to use the Internet after that. However, the forum, headed by its president Jagroop Singh Mahal, said Airtel was unable to produce any such instructions on record. “The company never informed their Internet users about the timings for usage,” said the forum, adding that Airtel was adopting an unfair trade practice to earn wrongful gains. The forum also maintained that the company may be earning lakhs of rupees every month by “dodging” thousands of customers.

Source Several were to expire in five years; valuations may rise. In a definite signal that mobile phone service providers are not going to lose their licences even after the scheduled end of their validity, the Department of Telecommunications (DOT) has asked the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India to recommend terms and conditions for extending the licence periods forever. This applies to the cellular mobile telephony licences issued initially, as well as the unified access service licences issued in later years after a policy change. Both were granted for 20 years and could be extended by another 10. THE BIG EIGHT OF 1994 DELHI >> Sterling Cellular (Vodafone-Essar) >> Bharti Airtel MUMBAI >> BPL (Loop Mobile) >> Max-Hutchison (Vodafone-Essar) CHENNAI >> Skycell (Bharti Airtel) >> RPG Cellular (Aircel) KOLKATA >> Usha Martin (Vodafone-Essar) >> Modi Telstra (Bharti Airtel) Between 1995-98, 14 companies were given 34 licences for 18 circles across the country (The company named in bracket is the name of the current company which holds the licence) Eight licences in the four lucrative metropolitan markets are slated to expire in 2014, followed by another set in the subsequent three years. Mobile phone licences — two in each of the four metros — were first issued in 1994, on payment of a fixed fee, for 10 years. Between 1995 and 1998, 14 companies obtained 34 more licences for 18 circles across the country. The New Telecom Policy of 1999, which moved this industry to a revenue-share model, also extended the life of licences to 20 years. The fresh view of DoT, the government arm that formulates telecommunications policy, is that licences should stay valid in perpetuity so long as their owners keep paying the annual revenue share and meet all the other conditions. “We expect the valuation of mobile licence holding companies to go up by at least 10 per cent as a result of this move. It will also make it easier for them to sell equity,” says the director of an upcoming mobile service provider. The issue of validity was becoming complicated with the imminent start of the third generation of mobile services, or 3G, which enable high-speed data transfer. “The government is auctioning 3G spectrum this year for 20 years. Many of the initial operators could be in a situation where they could have the spectrum, for which they are going to pay through their nose (the price suggested by the finance ministry is Rs 4,040 crore), but not have the licence to operate. By making the licences valid in perpetuity, this apprehension would be addressed,” says T V Ramachandran, secretary-general of Cellular Operators Association of India, the GSM lobby. Not everyone agrees. Mahesh Uppal, a Delhi-based analyst who specialises in regulatory affairs, says it is a bad idea. “You should not give spectrum, which is a scarce resource, in perpetuity until you determine a market value of it and charge it from the operators. What should be done is to separate the spectrum from the licence. The licence is just an authorisation for you to undertake services and there is no cap on its number.” DoT’s message to Trai has pointed out that a committee set up in June last year to give recommendations on subscriber-linked allocation of spectrum — its members were from DoT, C-Dot, the defence ministry, Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institutes of Management — submitted a report last May and recommended that licences should be given in perpetuity.

Source NEW DELHI: Tata Communications on Tuesday said it has bagged a contract from telecom operator Sistema Shyam TeleServices for deploying call center services. Sistema Shyam TeleServices, a joint venture of Russia's Sistema Group and Shyam Group, is undertaking an aggressive roll-out of its telecom services under the brand 'MTS' across the country. As part of the agreement, Tata Communications would deploy its on-demand hosted contact center (InstaCC) services for all SSTL circles across the country on a pay-per-use model for MTS, Tata Communications said in a statement. MTS would pay on actual usage basis, giving it freedom to ramp up or ramp down based on the business environment. "MTS is on a fast trajectory of growth, and our contact center operations will grow at a rapid pace, inline with our expansion across 22 circles in India. We look forward to a service that is obsolescence proof, scalable and reliable in uptime," SSTL Chief Information Officer Rajeev Batra said. Tata Communications has deployed all the critical hardware and software like dialer, recording, integration with third party business applications and CRM software, it said. SSTL has a subscriber base of over 1.3 million across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Rajasthan, Kolkata, West Bengal and Bihar. In the first phase, Tata Communications would be managing infrastructure for 2,000 seats across all MTS circles, of which 700 seats are already deployed across its south and east circles, it said, adding that the northern circle is currently getting deployed. "With InstaCC, we provide a very flexible contact center environment ... Besides cutting their capex, it also crunches their go-to-market time, as now they don't have to build the entire call center infrastructure before rolling out," Tata Communications Vice President (Managed Services and Marketing) Alok Bardiya said.

India's Rural Mobile Subscribers Rise Techtree News Staff, Jul 14, 2009 1613 hrs IST Increase 18 percent over last year With the urban mobile market nearly saturated, India is looking towards its villages and towns to propel the growth of this sector and it indeed is growing. According to the latest numbers from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the number of rural mobile subscribers has surged past the 100 million mark and now stands at a staggering 109.7 million. This data is for the end of the first quarter of 2009. This also translates into a growth of 18 percent over the last quarter of 2008. While the overall subscriber base in the country stands at 391.76 million, the rural growth was in the earlier stages slow as compared with the urban centres. In fact, even now, with 282 million subscribers, urban centres command a 72 percent of all mobile users in the country. What we are gradually seeing now is a change that is bringing wireless mobility to the interiors of the country. Mobile companies, both manufactures and operators, seem to have noticed the growing power of India s rural centers and are now concentrating on this hitherto overlooked segment, which presents these companies with an untapped, pristine market at their disposal. Nokia, for example, recently launched its Life Tools directed at the rural population in the country with value added services tailor made for the rural consumer. Other companies too have come up with value added services to boost revenue and tap this huge market.

British girl's heart heals itself after transplant Source LONDON (AP): British doctors designed a radical solution to save a girl with major heart problems in 1995: they implanted a donor heart directly onto her own failing heart. After 10 years with two blood pumping organs, Hannah Clark's faulty one did what many experts had thought impossible: it healed itself enough so that doctors could remove the donated heart. But she also had a price to pay: the drugs Clark took to prevent her body from rejecting the donated heart led to malignant cancer that required chemotherapy. Details of Clark's revolutionary transplant and follow-up care were published online Tuesday in the medical journal Lancet. ``This shows that the heart can indeed repair itself if given the opportunity,'' said Dr. Douglas Zipes, a past president of the American College of Cardiology. Zipes was not linked to Clark's treatment or to the Lancet paper. ``The heart apparently has major regenerative powers, and it is now key to find out how they work.'' In 1994, when Clark was eight months old, she developed severe heart failure and doctors put her on a waiting list to get a new heart. But Clark's heart difficulties caused problems with her lungs, meaning she also needed a lung transplant. To avoid doing a risky heart and lung transplant, doctors decided to try something completely different. Sir Magdi Yacoub of Imperial College London, one of the world's top heart surgeons, said that if Clark's heart was given a time-out, it might be able to recover on its own. So in 1995 Yacoub and others grafted a donor heart from a 5-month-old directly onto Clark's own heart. After four and a half years, both hearts were working fine, so Yacoub and colleagues decided not to take out the extra heart. The powerful drugs Clark was taking to prevent her from rejecting the donor heart then caused cancer, which led to chemotherapy. Even when doctors lowered the doses of drugs to suppress Clark's immune system, the cancer spread, and Clark's body eventually rejected the donor heart. Luckily, by that time, Clark's own heart seemed to have fully recovered. In February 2006, Dr. Victor Tsang of Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, Yacoub and other doctors removed Clark's donor heart. Since then, Clark -- now 16 years old -- has started playing sports, gotten a part-time job, and plans to go back to school in September. ``Thanks to this operation, I've now got a normal life just like all of my friends,'' said Clark, who lives near Cardiff. Still, transplants like Clark's won't be widely available to others due to a shortage of donor hearts and because the necessary surgeries are very complicated. In the last few years, artificial hearts also have been developed that can buy patients the time needed to get a transplant or even for their own heart to recover. Zipes said if doctors can figure out how Clark's heart healed itself and develop a treatment from that mechanism, many other cardiac patients could benefit. At the moment, doctors aren't sure how that regeneration happens. Some think there are a small number of stem cells in the heart, which may somehow be triggered in crisis situations to heal damaged tissue. Experts said Clark's example is encouraging both to doctors and patients. ``It reminds us that not all heart failure is lethal,'' said Dr. Ileana Pina, a heart failure expert at Case Western Reserve University and spokeswoman for the American Heart Association. ``Some heart failure patients have a greater chance of recovery than we thought.''

Review: LG Crystal Team Gadget Guru, July 13, 2009, New Delhi This transparent, slide-out keypad is no gimmick. It is a true extension of a touch screen phone created by LG. LG has christened it 'Crystal'. LG Crystal (LG-GD900) is a unique concept. It is a premium phone with a slithering glass swagger about it. The see-through tempered glass is a keypad with a cool glow to be visible in any light condition. It is made of highly durable tempered glass and is framed and reinforced by a band of liquid-metal, a composite alloy that is ultra-strong and able to absorb shock and vibration. It is sleek, slender and has seamlessly placed volume and camera button on the sides. But LG Crystal is not just a pretty face. Not only does it dish up the digits, the keypad also transforms itself into a laptop style mouse pad that offers easy phone browsing and navigation. With the first of its kind shortcut method, this glow-transparent-pad can create magic. Just drag your finger to write an alphabetic letter, maybe an 'M' on the keypad, and watch the music menu come alive on the screen. Once you've reached your favourite song, you can savour it in the best audio quality. LG Crystal gives you Dolby surround sound and more options to hear your song. Crystal uses LG's signature S-Class user interface. It has a 3D cube style menu that is always a pleasure to navigate. The menu can also be viewed in a simple format. It is laid in four categories for easy access. Contacts and music widgets can be viewed in a pretty reel format. It is no less than a smart phone. Crystal offers quick shortcut features for emails like copy and paste, you can do that with messages and notepad. Viewing online pages is a breeze with the keypad gesture control and easy zoom in and out options. There is handwriting recognition as well. Multimedia features are aplenty. LG Crystal has a 8 mega pixel snapper, video record with various light controling and speed controling options. There is Google Maps, YouTube and FM player. Fun features are quite different from other phones in the games section. There are motion sensing games and the bubble game. Blow wind on the phone to activate the bubbles. Even a simple feature like calender and organiser, that one uses daily, is given a new design. Date, time and memo format look smart and fun to use. All in all this Crystal will creat magic in the mobile market in India when it launches in August. We reckon it will be priced around Rs 30,000. LG Crystal has: * Transparent touch pad * Gesture command on touch pad * 3D S-Class user interface * LCD touch screen * 8 megapixel camera

Telecom user base touches 429.7 million Source NEW DELHI: India's total telecom subscriber base touched 429.72 million for the quarter ending March taking the teledensity up to 36.98 the Trai said on Monday. This is against 384.79 million for the quarter ending December 2008, a 11.68% increase. Wireless subscribers increased to 391.76 million (346.89 million) while wireline subscribers increased to 37.96 million (37.90 million). Rural wireline subscribers decreased by 0.93% to 10.58 million (10.68 million) while in contrast, rural wireless subscribers grew 17.77% to 109.71 million (93.15 million). The number of Public Call Offices (PCOs) also increased by 3.68% to 6.20 million (5.98 million). In the GSM segment, the all India blended ARPU per month decreased 6.82% from Rs 220 in December 2008 to Rs 205 in March 2009. ARPU for postpaid services declined 2.8% to Rs 543 (Rs 559) and 6% for prepaid services to Rs 181 (Rs 192). For CDMA, the all India monthly blended ARPU dropped to Rs 99 (Rs 111). The huge difference between postpaid and prepaid ARPU noticed in the last quarter remains valid for the current quarter as well in the CDMA market. Postpaid ARPU was 5 times that of prepaid ARPU, which could be attributed to declining importance of processing fee on recharge coupon/voucher purchased by prepaid subscribers. Internet wireline subscribers grew 5.30% to 13.54 million (12.85 million) while broadband subscribers (with a download speed of 256 Kbps or more) grew 12.68% to 6.22 million.

Press Trust of India / Mumbai June 12, 2009, 18:55 IST Leading mobile phone maker Nokia has launched cellphones, which will help farmers get instant information on farm prices in 'mandis'. The company claimed that the new phone could display information in two languages and offer graphically rich user interface. The company will be selling the devices first in Maharashtra and later to other states as also to select countries in Asia and Africa, officials said today. The new devices costing about Rs 2,000 will also help users access education and entertainment services. Agriculture service will contain information on seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, market prices and weather. The content will be available for Rs 30 to Rs 60 per month depending upon the information availed. Nokia today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Maharashtra State Agricultural Marketing Board (MSAMB) at an event here chaired by state Chief Minister Ashok Chavan. MSAMB will provide its expertise in the areas of commodity prices from its network of 291 local 'mandis' or market yards. Nokia India Managing Director D Shivakumar said the company has tied up with Idea Cellular to offer the service and is talking to other mobile operators as well.

Now, agricultural info on mobile phones Source PUNE: The state agriculture department is in the final stage of launching a message service to the farmers in the state by which the department will provide them advice and suggestions about agriculture, such as crop, rain, pests and precautions to be taken by farmers. The advice will come through an SMS to the farmers' on their mobile handsets. Speaking to TOI, state agriculture commissioner Prabhakar Deshmukh said, "The AMS would serve the purpose of instant information to the farmers using mobile phones. The department has acquired a written consent from around 4,000 farmers in Maharashtra for sending them four messages every month. The messages will be about new pests, initial stages of pests, fertilisers, pesticides and weather forecasts. The messages will be available in Marathi and English scripts and will be sent as per the requirement of the farmer as well as the handset configuration of the user." The department has chosen city-based Microline India Pvt Ltd, an expert in bulk SMS services, to provide infrastructure and technology to the government. The company will receive finalised text messages from the department, which will be sent to farmers in all parts of the state, Deshmukh said. While a single message will cost 14 paise to the government, farmers will get the service free-of-cost. Deshmukh said trials for the service is currently on. The government is planning to extend the service to at least two lakh farmers in the state, who will be prominent personalities of that particular village. "As not all the farmers are literate or use mobile phones, the person receiving the SMS will inform others about the messages," he said. The service has a facility to deliver messages on geography or crop specific information, which will reach directly to the target farmers, Deshmukh added. The state has taken a written consent for starting the service from the Union government. The service could have some agriculture-related commercial messages, which could help in generating income for the department, but earning income is not the main objective, he said. Subhash Bhute, general manager, Microline, told TOI, "The company has provided all the technology, software and infrastructure for the AMS. The company has created accounts for the authorities to generate messages and those will have the right to send it using the provided database and for this, the company has developed special software for the agriculture department." At present, a message of maximum 160 characters in English and 138 characters in Marathi could be sent through the system. Along with the messages, Microline has received ten service numbers, on which farmers can give their feedback, wherever asked by messages "The feedback facility will help the agriculture department to improve its service, which is in the interest of the farmers," said Deshmukh. Some messages will ask farmers to send their feedback about the advice, pest, fertilisers, crop situation, are among others. The questions to be asked will be of basic nature, as not all farmers can type it on phone and send back. “Most of them will be of yes/no type, or ratings type questions,” he added.

Patent for dual-sim mobile suspended Source CHENNAI: Operation of patent granted to a Madurai-based person for dual mode mobile handsets has been suspended by the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) here. An interim ruling to this effect was given by an IPAB bench comprising vice-chairman S Usha and technical member S Chandrasekaran, on a revocation application filed by the Noida-based Spice Mobiles Limited. The matter relates to a patent granted by the controller of patents to Somasundaram Ramkumar for a dual mode mobile phone. Spice Mobiles filed a revocation petition, stating that customs authorities had blocked import of materials for their handset, on the ground that it was a patent violation. Claiming that the company had lost business worth Rs 35 crore in February and March 2009, the company said a large number of their handsets had been detained by authorities. As for Somasundaram Ramkumar's patent, the company said he had not manufactured and marketed any patented product and an interim order would not cause any loss to him. Noting that any delay in an interim ruling would tantamount to dismissal of the main petition itself, the company said that by the time the main matter comes up for hearing the company and various stake-holders would suffer losses of high magnitude.

India adds 8.9 mln GSM mobile users in June Source Reuters - Indian GSM mobile operators added 8.89 million users in June, taking the total user base to 315.8 million, data from the Cellular Operators' Association of India showed on Monday. The pace of monthly additions on the dominant mobile platform picked up from 8.3 million added in May, but was still slower than April's 8.97 million and March's 10.8 million. Top mobile operator Bharti Airtel's June additions at 2.82 million were little changed from the previous month, but third-ranked Vodafone Essar saw a dip in June user adds to 2.37 million from 2.54 million in May. No.5 Idea Cellular accelerated additions to 1.61 million in June from 1.3 million in May. The data for June does not include Reliance Communications Ltd, India's second-largest mobile operator, which reports figures separately. But total GSM subscribers include Reliance's GSM users at the end of May. Reliance Communications, which had 77.22 million subscribers at end-May, expanded its GSM mobile services to all the service areas of the country in January, but the majority of its customers are still on rival CDMA technology. Tata Teleservices, in which Japan's NTT DoCoMo owns a 26 percent stake, also operates on CDMA and its monthly additions are reported separately. The company has recently launched GSM services.
