Reliance Infocomm to launch 4 more WebWorlds in Bangalore R Raghavendra / Bangalore September 01, 2004 Reliance Infocomm, the country?s leading CDMA-based telecom service provider, which recently ventured into broadband services with the launch of its Reliance WebWorld stores, is increasing its presence in Bangalore. However, the lack of market potential in other cities of Karnataka, which neither have the population nor the broadband awareness and usage like Bangalore, is bothering Reliance. Currently, Karnataka has 15 WebWorld stores with nine stores in Bangalore. Reliance will open another four stores in Karnataka by October, of which two will be located in Bangalore. These stores will be located at J P Nagar and Airport Road, respectively. With this, Bangalore will have 11 outlets. In terms of customers using broadband, Bangalore has always been lucky for Reliance. On occasions when it has runs of a series of promotions, the customer walk-ins have more than doubled. Normally, each WebWorld in Bangalore attracts anywhere between 200 and 300 customers per day. On days when these WebWorlds run special promotions, including those for the telecom subscribers, footfalls increase to nearly 600 customers. This, despite the fact that Bangalore has fewer WebWorlds than Mumbai or Delhi, has encouraged Reliance to open more WebWorld stores in the city. ?While Bangalore has even proven that it can compete equally, if not better, with Delhi and Mumbai, other cities of Karnataka lack the population and the market potential for broadband service. We are hampered by the lack of a large second city in Karnataka, unlike in Tamil Nadu where Coimbatore looks promising,? Akhilesh Prasad, circle head-Karnataka, Reliance Web Stores Pvt Ltd said. Prasad added that Bangalore is indeed a major contradiction to the rest of Karnataka which may be inclined to using broadband but lacks the potential in terms of customer base. He feels that the presence of over two lakh IT professionals in Bangalore has also added to building awareness about broadband. Currently, these WebWorlds across Bangalore is being used by those who intend to send or receive bulk data like voice and video. Gaming is another popular application. While many cyber cafes provide anywhere between 128 kbps and 256 kbps speeds, they are mostly preferred for simple text-based e-mails. Reliance, on the other hand, provides speeds of nearly 760 kbps across most of its terminals in its WebWorlds. Prasad added, ?Earlier this year, Reliance had committed an investment of nearly Rs 200 crore for its WebWorlds across the country.?

Lets help RIMWEB.COM generate some money to sustain on its own, so Arun will get some relief.

Dear Raccon, You are comparing Mobile internet rates with landline rates, which is not fair.

Reduce the earpiece volume that should solve the problem.

Eventhough you own the handset the Right to use it lies with reliance as per the agreement. When Reliance have took the risk to order in huge volumes and brought the price down to make affordable for everyone, they got the right to use.

Those who have been involved in the fraud have been removed and they are under investigation. You should blame the company, when a bunch a individuals commit mistake.

There is no point in comparing a WLL tariff rates with a full mobility operator.

It seems collections agents are going to be dropped from August 31st onwards. So nothing much to worry after that.

handset upgrade option will be available very soon in webworlds........all handsets........

Looks great.

But you can send SMS, provided you got a compatible intrument.

Reliance is becoming a truly multinational company.

Wait till September, for the next mobile revolution. Prepaid migrations ends by August 2004. New handsets and new reduced tariff plan for postpaid customers. Loyalty bonus for honest payers. and much more....

Parallel connection is not possible in FWP. You can conect as many as lines on a FWT including EPABX.

Please note RELIANCE is issuing R-UIM cards for international roaming.

and before all these does anyone have read the TERMS & CONDITIONS, printed on the backside of the Customer Application Form (CAF), for which you have agreed while you signed in the front page Whereas in case of Reliance Pamphlets they are merely printed one, no executive have signed it. LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP

You can use CDMA phones in GSM network, Please refer here http://www.rimweb.com/forums/index.php?sho...c=1567&hl=r-uim

Then what about the existing 3105??????????

Reliance is going to introduce atleast one new model every month for mobile and also planning to introduce cordless fwps.

If you get Reliance FWP connection, Just compare it with Airtel GPRS and inform us. So we know whether GPRS is really worth of it.

VPN Service is available with Reliance in Wireline services. Why dont you check out with Wireline Team at your Reliance City Town Office.

This is the result of Free for all attitude. When you give it free ppl wont know the worth of it.
