Yeah we completely understand that RIM is concerned about its corporate customershooligans(read as Ambanis, Mittals, Birlas etc.,) who wants to launder money without allowing Govt. to eavesdrop into them and find their fudged figures. Yeah we understand for RIM privacy of these leeches are more important than national security(read as life of a common man). After all only these launders use and promote RIM handsets and certainly not the people who commute on sub-urban trains and buses to work for these thugs. Let us not put the life of the people at risk by quoting hypothetical privacy which never exists in the first place.

Here's Samsung's 3G(CDMA)/2G(GSM) phone. Taiwan market: APBT to offer Samsung dual-mode handset W319 source :: http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20100927PD219.html Hope this phone will be available in Indian market sooner than later......

Banning BlackBerry service will be counterproductive, says RIM source:: http://www.thehindu.com/business/companies/article812863.ece?homepage=true As expected RIM refuse to budge and continues to play game. As informed earlier to service providers it's important that Govt. bans all non-decipherable services like BES without any delay. It's important for Govt. to show that it means non-compromising enforcement and not stories/reasons.

RCom may get additional GSM spectrum soon source :: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/RCom-may-get-additional-GSM-spectrum-soon-/articleshow/6676626.cms

Initial date was 1st Sep 2010 later TRAI postponed it to 1st Oct 2010. Now 1st Oct 2010 has passed by still there's no signs of implementation. Is TRAI dead?????? TDSAT reserved orders on 20th Sep 2010 but till date no judgement on such an important pro-consumer tariff regulations. Already 12 valuable days has gone What is happening to TDSAT????? Is everyone bribed by corporates?????????? Is every arm of India twisted by corporates(Legislative,Executive, Judiciary)?? :'( :'( :'( :'(

The below site has been updated with further new handsets. http://www.cdg.org/devices/omh/devices-operators.asp

DoT rejects BlackBerry’s email decoding solution source :: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/telecom/DoT-rejects-BlackBerrys-email-decoding-solution/articleshow/6661267.cms I somehow expected this. RIM from beginning is spending all its energy to fool Indian Govt. through Media, Canadian Govt, International trade lobbies and never spend any energy in solving the issue meaningfully. It's time for the Govt. to put its foot down firmly. Now ban on BES services looks imminent and inevitable.

MNP rollout may be delayed further source :: http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/mnp-rollout-may-be-delayed-further/110674/on The above news is absolutely atrocious..... Hope and pray it's some wrong reporting from Business Standard.

Virgin is not MVNO operator, just a franchise for TTSL&TTML. MVNO is still not allowed in India.

Power Grid to invite bids for leasing out telecom towers source: http://telecomtiger.com/Infrastructure_fullstory.aspx?storyid=10043&section=S220 A very healthy move. :clap:

Power Grid's Telecom Profile

I've provided information based on the follwoing sites. http://mycentraltech.com/2010/09/mts-buzz-price-specification-features/ http://mycentraltech.com/2010/09/mts-alive-price-specification-features/

You're correct. RCOM has won in Mumbai. Some wrong reporting by the website concerned.

Let us clear the mist about Termination Charges. The regime of termination charge is heavily loaded in favour incumbent biggies. Biggies cancel out each others' termination charges and earn huge amount from new players. Biggies earn more and more when new players keep adding subscribers due to their better tariff & QoS(Quality of Service) Net effect :: 1) New players pay huge amount to incumbents with their already squeezing wafer-thin marigin 2) Kills competition and favours oligopoly 3) It's penalty for delivering superior service Any competitive market regulator should never support such an one-sided regime. TRAI should make clear roadmap towards zero-termination regime to help the new players survive.

It's time to revive the below topic.

It's perplexing for me to understand why Samsung still releases EVDO Rev.0 phone when other makers(LG(510),RIM(tour),ZTE(MTS-Alive),Fly(MTS-Ivory),Micromax(MTS-Buzz)) release Rev. A phones in the market.

In a significant move, TRAI invites proposals from eligible Audit Agencies/ Certification Bodies (hereinafter Agency) for Empanelment in the Panel of Auditors to certify the Metering and Billing System of Service Providers in accordance with the Quality of Service (Code of Practice for Metering and Billing Accuracy) Regulation, 2006 (5 of 2006) dated 21.03.06 http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/trai/upload/Tenders/47/TOR27sep2010.pdf :clap: Let us hope after this empanelment, quality of metering and billing improves in India.

Rationalization has been brought in to the prepaid FRC. http://tamilnadu.bsnl.co.in/Content_frc_326_data_card.pdf In net effect, there is no change in the amount customer has to pay on activation and also no change in benefits he gets.

Now all NLD/ILD licensees to comply with security norms. http://dot.gov.in/ild/ILD_11.08.2010.pdf http://dot.gov.in/nld/NLD_11.08.2010.pdf Earlier DoT has released similar norms for all service providers(UAS/CMTS/Basic Service Licensees).

My dear friend, for sure in the next phase it'll be extended for inter-circle. I too hope that's the plan as far as TRAI is concerned. Let us wait and watch how much time it'll take for transition from intra-circle to inter-circle. Post count for this topic may reach 800 by then..... :Contento:

Dear Forum members, Do you see 9650 in the Indian Horizon?

Thanks for posting...... One correction. the phone is called "iphone 4" and not as "iphone 4G" as you've mentioned. Iphone 4 is still 3G(HSPA) and not 4G(WIMAX/LTE).
