As the 3G auction is going on well without any glitches, The complete engergy of DoT should now be focussed on MNP. The May 15 deadline is fast approaching....Hope all the operators are doing the tests and will complete the inter-operator test(IOT) by 15th May without fail.

TTSL says TRAI recommendations do not ensure level playing field TATA has problem since they're not yet alloted GSM startup spectrum in many circles. Source :: http://telecomtiger.com/PolicyNRegulation_fullstory.aspx?storyid=9118&section=S174

TRAIs 2G recommendations shocking: Bharti source :: http://beta.profit.ndtv.com/news/show/trais-2g-recommendations-shocking-bharti-41915 Minimum expected reaction from big thug Bharti. From the day I started observing the telecom sector, I've never seen a day when Bharti appreciating any pro-consumer move taken by TRAI and DoT. It's just disgusting. Let them challenge these recommendations in court if they've any guts. Very much sure that this time too they'll be slapped by Supreme Court. I agree to the point that excess spectrum pricing being equated to 3G is very harsh. Even TRAI has said that it'll start the consultation for fixing the fee. 3G equivalent price is just a temporary recommendation. But the principle of charging 1.5 times for 900 MHz and charging above 6.2 MHz are well thought out move. Placing the new operators who are looking for contracted spectrum in front of the queue against the operators who are looking for excess spectrum is a pro-competitive move. I can say for sure that whoever released the information for press from Bharti could have not read the complete recommendation in totality. Pulling back the 900 MHz spectrum is another gem in the recommendations since the current method of new operators in 1800 Mhz against old incumbents in 900MHz alone puts new operators in terrible disadvantage of higher Capex and Opex cost. So for only few operators have commented on recommendations of which RCOM has appreciated, Bharti has disapproved and TATA has mixed reaction. Im sure majority of the operators will be very happy about the recommendations except for Bharti & Vodafone and may be Idea.

Please have a look at this article. "Sunil Mittal lobbied against Raja becoming Telecom Minister" source :: http://telecomtiger.com/Corporate_fullstory.aspx?storyid=9051&flag=1&passfrom=topstory&section=S162 The key and important issue here is industrialists influence Ministerial berths. I think this may not be the only case where Sunil Mittal has played foul-sport. By looking at his monopolist nature, I feel he could have done lot of croooked things in his life. This incident is atrociously bad for the democracy. Sunil Mittal as a citizen of India has right only to cast sigle vote. nothing less and nothing more. Horribly dangerous for democracy if such money thugs tried to fix ministers of democratically elected government. Only failed case of Sunil Mittal has come out....I don't know how many other money thugs have succeeded in placing their pawns in the echelons of power. CBI should investigate this matter to unearth how much Sunil Mittal has spend to arm twist a democratic process. This looks like another invasion of India by another set of merchants(unfortunately they belong to this same holy land). This has to be stopped before we become slaves again.

I do not think so. Only Huwaei is under scanner because it has lot of ex chinese intelligence officers as employees.

Please avoid brining in politicians into the topic. Unnecessarily the thread will run for KMs with each and every post blasting politicians. They are dirts and don't get dirty by speaking on them. I've started the topic only on the point which I feel very stressful and harmful for democracy. Industrialists fixing Government appointments and in this case the Government itself. Are we become slaves of money? What we know here is the one failed attempt. I don't how many have succeeded and how many ministers are serving the Industrialists now and not the Nation?

TRAI has released the most exhaustive hitherto known 2G policy. It was remarkable job by the part of TRAI not to burden the new players and that same time forcing the incumbent players to be more spectrum efficient. Excess spectrum alone is priced heavily at 3G rate and not touching the start-up spectrum is a very clever move. There's clear policy to get the back the spectrum in excess of 10 MHz which is a welcome move. Very intersting policy is in the area of refarming spectrum in 900/800 MHz range. we've to see how DoT and TRAI will accomblish this task. M&A guidelines are clearly laid out and it has proper steps to contain monopoly. :clap: :clap: :praise: Hope atleast this time DoT will implement the policy in totality and not in bits and pieces. http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/trai/upload/PressReleases/735/pressrelease.pdf http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/trai/upload/PressReleases/735/FINALRECOMENDATIONS.pdf RCom says TRAI recommendations progressive source :: http://telecomtiger.com/PolicyNRegulation_fullstory.aspx?storyid=9122&section=S174 Incumbents will have to incur a big financial hit due to TRAI’s new recommendations source :: http://telecomtiger.com/PolicyNRegulation_fullstory.aspx?passfrom=breakingnews&storyid=9123&section=S174 TRAI for uniform licence fee of 6% by 2014 source :: http://telecomtiger.com/PolicyNRegulation_fullstory.aspx?storyid=9124&section=S174

We've to congratulate MTS for bringing it first on CDMA as indicated in the topic heading. MTS is very dynamic and customer-centric in many of their path breaking tariff structures and delivery of services. Kudos to MTS. :clap:

I think now this service is available pan-India in TATA Indicom(CDMA). I can confirm for TN circle. It's quite useful one.

Verizon iPhone 4G Release Date, Beyond 2010 source :: http://socialmediaseo.net/2010/05/09/verizon-iphone-4g-release-date-beyond-2010/

Here I could clearly see the trend between Hitler and Modi. Exactly like you, there were few in Germany who whole heartedly supported Hitler's developmental policies. Exactly like you, they were unaware of his lunatic fascist mindset which he masked with developmental veil. Exactly like industrialists like TATA,Mittal there were Diamler, Benz, Bosch who were friends of Hitler during his "developmental" time. Any where in the world what industrialists want is just short term fertile land to harvest money. They were never worried about people who struggle to exist and live their daily lives. Please let me request you not to worry about my knowledge in European history. Your endorsement of Hitler clearly shows where you belong to in your mental make-up. Let God alone save Gujarat and India. For the benefit of the users, let us stop this off topic argument and allow others to focus on on-topic.

Smartphone Reviews: Blackberry Bold 9650 source :: http://www.boosharticles.com/4640/smartphone-reviews-blackberry-bold-9650

Coming back to the topic of discussion, It's time the Government act against these business crooks like Suni Mitall for fixing Government. If the politicians are corrupt it's democracy's internal problem that can be corrected automatically when information level of voters improve. But the virus is these business thugs who are influencing each and every decision of the government just by their sheer money power. This virus has to be eradicated otherwise it will eat the whole system of democracy.

Narendra Modi is like a Hitler. His development agenda is only to prepare for a mass homicide against minorities in India like what Hitler did to Jews. Like Hitler, he has come to power just by pleasing certain section of society by pluverizing another section. If Hitler had died in 1935 by accidenet, then whole world would have been praising him as the tallest leader of the world ever for his stupendous developmental,economical,scientific capabilities which he has brought to Germany. His real intention of developmental pursuit came to light only when he invaded Poland in 1939. This kind of pseudo developmental policies with vulgar intention should be nipped in the bud. World will never forgive us if we do the same mistake as Germans did albeit having lesson learnt from Germany. Dear Indians, raise to the truth if a state is polarized against minorities then Democracy(Poll results) cannot give you proper feedback. The resaon is polls are decided by simple majority. Don't forget again Hitler has come to power through democracy. Inefficient politics can be tolerated but never tolerate sectarian politics. Gujarat will be number one state with or without Modi but it cannot be fearless(for all citizens) state if Modi rules.

Here is another story on the same topic. After Income-Tax note, audio transcripts emerge of tapped conversations between Raja & lobbyist source:: http://telecomtiger.com/PolicyNRegulation_fullstory.aspx?storyid=9069&flag=1&passfrom=topstory&section=S174 For sure, Media will not highlight for the reasons they're paid by these money laundering vampires(like Sunil Mittal). Unfortunately our national media (AIR and Doordarshan) is in coma. Slowly democracy is becoming moneycracy. These merchants are fixing the government. Government is not a cricket match to be fixed and I hope that all Indians should raise against this horrible case of merchants fixing democracy.

The subscriber figures as on 31st march 2010 has been released. 1) Airtel --> 3,066,859(WI)+ 127,619,314(WL) = 130686173 2) MTNL+BSNL --> 3,496,754(MTNL-WI)+5,094,016(MTNL-WL)+27,830,560(BSNL-WI)+69,450,012(BSNL-WL) = 105871342 3) Reliance --> 1,177,412(WI)+102,422,145(WL) = 103599557 4) Vodafone --> 100,858,358(WL) = 100858358 5) TATA --> 1,162,276(WI)+65,942,255(WL) = 67104531 6) Idea --> 63,824,688(WL) = 63824688 7) Aircel --> 36,861,174(WL) = 36861174 WI --> Wireline WL --> Wireless Vodafone leads the wireless subscriber addition for the month of March followed by Reliance(2nd), Airtel(3rd), PSUs(BSNL+MTNL) (4th) and TATA(5th) For Vodafone, this is second consecutive pole position. May be ZooZoo in IPL is helping it. Vodafone has breached into 100 Million mark after Airtel, PSUs(BSNL+MTNL) and Reliance. It's interesting to see TATA which was continuous 1st for 5 months before 2 months now relegated to 5th. The gap between the market leader(Airtel) and second position(PSUs) is unhealthily huge. There is quite tough fight in the region of 2nd, 3rd and 4th which is good. Again there is huge gap between 4th and 5th Teledensity reaches 52.74% source :: http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/trai/upload/PressReleases/732/pr26apr10no20.pdf

Very nice and also most possibly true observation. :clap:

Great to hear that most awaited phone(Bold 9650) in the Blackberry history is finally launched officially. http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/blackberrybold/bold_specifications.jsp :clap: Since this phone has aroused so much expectation, the speculations has been very high from last november. The same is captered through the posts in the following thread. Ealier it was assumed to be named as Tour 2.

Verizon iPhone Release Date, iPhone 4G Release Date, iPhone 4G Sooner While there is still debate going on about the Verizon iPhone release date and iPhone 4G release date in year 2010, Steve Jobs CEO Apple tweeted today : Verizon will get Iphone sooner than you think source:: http://www.timesnewsline.com/news/Verizon-iPhone-Release-Date--iPhone-4G-Release-Date--iPhone-4G-Sooner-1271726339/ source :: http://www.khabrein.info/news/Verizon_iPhone_release_date__iPhone_Verizon_2010__AT_T_may_try_to_torpedo_Verizon__Apple_applecart_1271743784/ source:: http://www.faltunews.com/07341474.htm Hope Verizon Iphone will be global phone which supports both HSDPA & EVDO similar to Blackberry Bold 9650.

As per the mentioned source, all the service providers should complete Inter Operator Test (IOT) by 15th May 2010. But no news is coming out in the public domain whether all operators are equipped and whether tests are in progress. We don't want to hear again fancy stories and reasons for not completing IOT on the eve of 15th may 2010(i.e. midnight 14th may 2010). I'm feeling sick about the way DoT functions.

Finally & Finally Blackberry Bold 9650 hits market on May 1st. It's one of the most awaited phone in the history of blackberry. Simply for its global nature. Supports HSDPA & EVDO. :clap: source :: http://www.cooltechzone.com/2010/04/19/blackberry-bold-9650-expected-at-wes-available-may-1/ Hope Indian Launch is not too far. We pray that this phone would be OMH complaint when it's launched in India.
