There should be some rules for SMS spaming also... Like emails which can be blocked. The service providers should also give option to customers option to block such messages. Maybe TRAI should set some guidelines on this also.

The problem is not region specific and is faced by almost every one once in a while... I too faced the problem in Bangalore...

and to add on to that you can get lots of torrents from this site http://www.torrentreactor.net/index.php

Telecom tariffs are likely to fall as the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India substantially lowered access deficit charge. ADC is a levy paid by private telecom operators to state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd for rural operations. In a new regime, TRAI has done away with the distance slab within the country and has imposed a fixed rate of only 30 paise ADC for all types of calls across the nation. Importantly, TRAI has lowered ADC on incoming international calls to Rs 3.25 per minute from existing Rs 4.25 while to Rs 2.50 a minute on outgoing ISD calls from Rs 4.25. The new regime will come into effect from February 1, 2005, TRAI said, adding it would review ADC rates within three to six months of its implementation on the basis of examination of new data. Meanwhile, Sunil Mittal, Chairman of Bharti Tele-Ventures, announced that the entire benefit of the ADC cut will be passed on to customers. The regulator claimed that total ADC amount going to BSNL would remain unchanged at Rs 5,000 crore (Rs 50 billion). "Due to exceptionally large increase in minutes that fund ADC, the per minute ADC has been decreased while keeping the total amount unchanged," TRAI said in a statement, adding that the new ADC regime would result in lower prices for domestic consumers. The regulator has not acceded to the demand of private operators that ADC be collected on the basis of revenue of the operators and not on the basis of calls. "Several stakeholders, including BSNL, have opposed implementation of revenue-share ADC regime on the grounds that it will increase rentals and local call charges," TRAI said, adding that 'changeover to revenue-share regime and its merger with Universal Service Obligation is indeed the final solution for taking care of all anomalies and issues associated with ADC.'

Ambani vs Ambani: It's A Mindgame Sharika Muthu The mind is its own place... John Milton While the business world watched the Ambani boardroom battle with bated breath, the media hounded the duo for juicy news bytes and colourful photo ops. And why not? What is done – or even uttered – by the heirs of a Rs 1000 crore empire certainly makes news. And very interesting news indeed. So what is it that leaves an impression on the crowded mindspace of the viewer / reader? From the relentless media coverage of Ambani and Ambani, emerge distinct profiles of the two brothers. Let’s introduce you to them. Who they are, what they are... Although just a couple of years alder than his sibling, Mukesh, the chairman of the Reliance Group, has often been heard to remark that Anil is “like my son”. A go-getter by all accounts, his personality is readily associated with hard work, a focussed approach and an obsession for success. Anil, the younger one - Vice-Chairman – is equally at home with spreadsheets and spirituality. Flamboyance is his middle name, something that’s amply evident in his fleet of fast cars. The financial wizard at Reliance, Anil has a strong bond with his family. The metrospiritual and the monk While earthy, practical Mukesh is mostly ensconced with figures and files, high-flyer Anil is typically the public face of the business. While family man Mukesh is seen mostly in the company of his immediate family and business advisors, charming Anil can boast of a string of friends-in-high-places. Clash of the titans And the comparison doesn’t stop there – it stretches into the realm of personal style and image. While staid Mukesh is mostly seen dressed in dark suits with conventional cuts, his dashing younger brother’s impeccable dress sense is reflected in contemporary cuts and pastel colours. When in doubt... Even their reactions to life’s problems are strongly contrasted. In such situations, Mukesh typically retreats into a conclave with his tried and trusted aides, while Anil (as has been well-documented by the media) seeks solace in spiritual destinations. For instance, soon after the bitter exchange with his older brother, he famously dashed off with family to Tirupati. This, besides his pilgrimage to Mathura to pray for “peace within the family”. And while their business war – which is far from over – will be amply tracked in the media, it is the personalities and temperaments of the two brothers that will prove to be the real weapons in this colossal mindgame.

Right through out my studies I have heard that 1 GB = 1024 MB.... Perhaps Reliance makes their own Rulez

In a major relief to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and consumers, the telecom tribunal on Monday refused to grant a stay, sought by MTNL, on the new access deficit regime starting from February 1, paving the way for lower long distance mobile calls. Long-distance tariffs will crash from Tuesday with TRAI reducing the access deficit charge given to telecom operators Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd and Mahanagar Telecom Nigam Ltd by up to 62 per cent. Domestic long-distance call tariffs, for both fixed and cellular phones, will be lowered by up to 50 paise a minute, while international long-distance (ILD) calls are likely to be reduced by about Rs 2 a minute. Local call tariffs, however, will remain unchanged. TRAI had reduced the ADC component on STD calls from 80 paise a minute to 30 paise a minute for calls made over 200 km and from 50 paise a minute to 30 paise a minute for calls made between 50 km and 200 km. On outgoing ISD calls, TRAI has brought down the deficit charges by 41 per cent to Rs 2.50 a minute from Rs 4.25. The reduction in the charges could lead to a corresponding slash in the ISD tariffs. A call to the US that now costs an average of Rs 16 a minute is likely to cost around Rs 14 a minute from February 1. Deficit charges on incoming calls have also been decreased from Rs 4.25 a minute to Rs 3.25 a minute. This is only an interim order and the matter has been posted for hearing on February 24. It will still be open to Telecom Dispute Settlement Appellate Tribunal to consider Mahanagar Telecom Nigam Ltd's petition on merits of the new ADC regime as the tribunal has already ruled that it had prima facie jurisdiction to adjudicate on matters relating to regulations. Meanwhile, the tribunal allowed Association of Unified Service Providers of India's application to be treated as an appeal. AUSPI had earlier filed an application to intervene in the case. TDSAT asked TRAI to give a reply to the main petition filed by MTNL and that of AUSPI within two weeks. The tribunal has maintained that it has jurisdiction to hear the matter in the wake of TRAI questioning its role on matters challenging regulations, ADC being one of them. In another developement, the Delhi High Court, which is hearing a petition of TRAI challenging TDSAT's jurisdiction over regulations, today adjourned the hearing on the case to next week. Big telecom players Bharti, Hutch and Reliance have said they would pass on the full benefit of lower ADC to their subscribers. Airtel and Hutch have reduced long-distance tariffs by Rs 1.75 for ISD calls and 35 paise for STD calls, a follow-up of the TRAI's new lower ADC regime, would still be more than double of those offered by BSNL.

3 new Infocomm investors surface BS Corporate Bureau in Mumbai | January 28, 2005 09:25 IST Three new investors have surfaced in Reliance Infocomm, according to documents made available on Thursday evening. These are the only investors with no obvious link to the Reliance group; all three investors are Delhi-based and got Rs 1 crore (Rs 10 million) of Infocomm stock at face value in September 2002, three months before the company launched operations. The investors are Fairever Traders and Consultants, Softnet Traders and Consultants, and Prerna Auto. In all cases, the owners of the shareholding companies are a husband and wife who invested either Rs 400,000 or Rs 500,000 in equity stock. In a clear pattern, the three companies issued redeemable preference shares of Rs 35 lakh (Rs 3.5 million) each, with these shares being picked up by a variety of finance companies located at different places in Delhi. The money was used to buy Infocomm stock {either Rs 33 lakh (Rs 3.3 million) or Rs 34 lakh (Rs 3.4 million) in each case}. All three companies were formed on the same day (16 September), and the equity as well as preference shares were also issued on the same day. The investment in Reliance Infocomm was also made on the same day. The information relating to these investments became available late in the evening, and it was not possible to check on who exactly these shareholders are, and why they were given Infocomm shares at face value at that stage in the company's history. From Infocomm's point of view, the money invested by these firms was not significant because Infocomm already had an equity base of Rs 415 crore (Rs 4.15 billion), plus substantial other funding in a variety of ways, running into thousands of crore rupees. However, the investing companies themselves have hit on a goldmine, because their combined investment of Rs 1 crore is now said to be valued at over Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 billion). That all three companies are linked is evident from the fact that some of the finance companies that have invested in the share-owning companies' preference shares have the same address in Delhi.
