Condom ringtone launched in India

NEW DELHI — A cellphone ringtone that chants "condom, condom!" has been launched in India to promote safe sex and tackle the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic.The "condom a cappella" has been designed to break down Indians' reluctance to discuss condom use and to make wearing a condom more acceptable.

"The idea is to tackle the inhibitions and taboos that can be associated with condoms."India is the world's fastest-growing mobile telephone market with 270 million users according to the latest official figures, up 57 percent in just one year.

TRAI allows Internet Telephony

New Delhi, Aug 18: In a decision, which could have a far reaching consequence in future, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Monday allowed Intenet Telephony in India.

In view of TRAI’s decision, the fall in long distance telecom tariffs has now become inevitable.

The TRAI ruling permits one to make calls from personal computers to fixed line and mobile phones."It is envisaged that customers will ultimately benefit from cost effective and innovative internet telephony service. These recommendations will put Indian telecom sector in tune with global trends.

The grey market tendencies shall be curtailed," TRAI said in a statement. As per the TRAI recommendations, the STD service providers would be connected to ISPs through public internet for the purpose and the two service providers would have mutual agreement for the same. Earlier, voice call made from one computer could travel to another computer but not from a mobile or a fixed line phone.

This has opened huge channels of revenues for the Internet Service Providers (ISPs), who wouldn’t need to acquire a Unified Access Service Licence (UASL) for operating these services. The Telecom Engineering Centre (TEC), a technical arm of Department of Telecom, will work out the number plan for the ISPs to enable them to offer telephone services.

"Telephone numbers from identified blocks shall be allocated to ISPs, Unified Access Service Providers, Basic Service Providers and Cellular Mobile Service Providers for internet telephony," TRAI said.

With a view to make internet telephony secure, TRAI said, all ISPs interested to provide unrestricted internet telephony would install "Lawful Interception" equipments.Presently, ISPs are not permitted to provide unrestricted Internet Telephony though they have IP-based infrastructure. The decision is also likely to benefit telecom service providers like Vodafone and Idea, who don’t have national long distance licence/network and use other operators’ networks to carry long distance calls.

These operators can carry their NLD calls using their IP network.While access service providers are permitted to provide various services and applications to their subscribers under Universal Access Service License (UASL), the role of other licensees like NLD and ILD is limited to provide long distance services and ISPs are permitted for internet access.

"Such regulatory restrictions discourage technological advancements and result in grey market activities to provide these services to common masses," the statement added.TRAI said due importance have been given for level playing to various service providers, interconnection mechanism, inter connect usage charges, numbering, lawful interception, emergency number dialling, interoperability, quality of service and others.

"Overall licensing framework has been protected while permitting unrestricted internet telephony to ISPs" TRAI said. The new TRAI ruling is also likely to boost competition between established UASL holders such as Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communication, Vodafone and BSNL.

The ISP’s and the telecom operators have been at loggerheads with each other on this issue, with the operators asking for a level playing field. BSNL had pointed it out to the regulator that allowing ISPs will further erode the revenues earned by national long-distance licence holders, while Bharti and RCom had pointed out that in case connectivity between PCs to fixed and mobile phones is allowed, ISPs should be asked to migrate to UASL.

Telecom players have to shell out Rs 1,650 crore for a pan-India UASL, while ISPs pay token Re 1 as the licence fee and the ISPs providing PC to PC telephony have to pay 6% of their adjusted gross revenue. The ISP’s however, say that the Rs 1,650 crore fee includes the start-up spectrum cost as well, which will not be used by the ISPs while providing the connectivity between PCs and fixed and the mobile lines. They have also suggested a formula in case they are allowed terminating the ILD calls.

Bharti Airtel crosses 75 mn subscriber base

NEW DELHI: India's largest private telecom company Bharti Airtel on Sunday said it has crossed the 75 million customer mark to become the fourth largest in-country mobile operator in the world.

Bharti Airtel is now behind China Mobile, China Unicom and American AT&T in terms of subscriber base, a company statement said. The subscriber figure includes customers from all business units of the company, mobile services, telemedia services and enterprises services, the statement said.

The mobile services devision has a customer base of 72.07 million as of July, 2008, it added.The mobile business provides mobile and fixed wireless services using GSM technology across 23 telecom circles. Commenting on the landmark Bharti Airtel CEO and Joint Managing Director Manoj Kohli said, "We are happy to have achieved this milestone of being the largest integrated telco in the country, in customer terms.

For us, the benchmark of real leadership is customer delight and would like to thank all our customers for placing their faith in us." The company had crossed the 60 million customer mark in February 2008 and the 50 million mark in October 2007, thereby becoming one of the fastest growing telecom companies in the world, the statement added.

China Mobile with 414.5 million customers as on June 2008 is at the No 1 position followed by China Unicom with 170.7 million subscriber base. AT&T is marginally ahead of Bharti with a subscriber base of 72.9 million in June this year

BSNL to offer bundled CDMA handsets

NEW DELHI: State-owned telecom operator BSNL has invited global CDMA handset makers for tie-ups as it readies plans to launch full-fledged mobile services on this technology platform across the country. The telco, which is currently investing about Rs 2,000 crore on a CDMA network roll-out, will offer bundled handsets.

Its move spells big business opportunities for CDMA majors such as China’s ZTE and Huawei, Samsung, LG, and Nokia, among others. At present, BSNL offers mobile services on the GSM platform across the country, except in Delhi and Mumbai, and has about 38 million customers on this technology platform. The telecom company does not offer bundled handsets with GSM connections. In a communication to all handset manufacturers, BSNL

has said that it will enter into tie-ups at both the national and state level on a non-exclusive basis for CDMA devices. Handset manufacturers have been asked to submit their replies by August 19, along with technical descriptions and the price of the models they plan to offer. “BSNL will monitor the performance of the handset manufacturer and the arrangement may be terminated if the latter does not meet the requisite standards.

The offered (handset) models should be locked for use in BSNL network only. The manufacturer should also offer a 2-year replacement guarantee for all handsets. BSNL reserves the right to functionally test the offered devices. The responsibility for marketing of the scheme shall be shared by BSNL and handset manufacturer on mutually agreed basis,” the PSU’s communication adds.

BSNL has also added that if it receives limited response, then all bidders fulfilling the eligibility criterion will be selected and be allotted circles, zones or even be made pan-India partners.

“In case a large number of players respond, then the evaluation of bidder will done based on the strength of the company (turnover, distribution channel, after-sales centres etc), suitability of offered product (specification, features etc), cost competitiveness etc.,” the BSNL communication said.

BSNL’s move to offer full-fledged CDMA services comes even as existing players in this segment such as Reliance Communications and the Tatas are moving to the GSM turf. In the initial stage, BSNL will limit its CDMA offerings to the top 500 towns and cities across India.

Early this year, the government had approved BSNL’s proposal to offer CDMA services and granted it a full-fledged CDMA mobility licence and spectrum to launch services. BSNL is in the process of setting up 10,000 towers for its CDMA networks

MTNL tapers broadband charges, launches TV on mobile

MTNL, which has 2.6 lakhs broadband customers in Delhi, plans to attract more customers with this reduction.

New Delhi: Public sector telecom services provider MTNL slashed broadband charges by up to 50 per cent to increase user base in the national capital.

The PSU announced a plan that will offer customers high speed (2 mbps) Internet access at a monthly rental of Rs 99 and 150 mb free download. Alternately, users can opt for a monthly rental scheme of Rs 149 with free download of 400 mb.These plans will be available from August 15.

It has also reduced the monthly rental of another tariff plan by 34 per cent from Rs 899 to 599 that would be available to customers from September 1.MTNL, which has 2.6 lakhs broadband customers in Delhi, plans to attract more customers with this reduction, company's Executive Director-Delhi A K Arora said.The state-run telecom operator, which was the first to launch IPTV in the country, also added another first to its credit by launching Mobile TV."

The TV service on mobile handsets 'MTNL-TV' is available in Delhi and the NCR for MTNL customers both on Dolphin and Trump. It will provide 20 channels, and the charges are Rs 99 per month," Arora said here.Fashion TV and religious channels will be not be available on the service.

TRAI calls for changes in number portability format, WiMAX auction

NEW DELHI/KOLKATA: Telecom regulator TRAI has warned the department of telecom (DoT) that if mobile number portability policy is implemented under the current format, the consumers may be forced to pay higher tariffs and quality of services too may fall. Number portability empowers consumers to retain their number but change their operator. In addition, TRAI has also called for a review of the WiMAX spectrum auction policy unveiled by the DoT and has listed out several loopholes in the guidelines.

These objections come close on the heels of TRAI pointing out that the government’s decision to allot third generation (3G) spectrum to CDMA players without an auction was against the principles of equality. In effect, TRAI wants a review of all the three policies — 3G, WiMAX and number portability — announced on August 1 by communications minister A Raja. Mr Raja, when unveiling the MNP policy, said the government would select two centralised agencies, who would be given 11 circles each to implement number portability.

He also added that these agencies would be chosen through a techno-economic evaluation (beauty parade). TRAI has now told the DoT that only one centralised operator should be given the task of implementing MNP. “We are only sticking to our earlier recommendation. If we have two centralised players, the cost to the telecom service provider and the carriage charges are likely to increase. Therefore the cost of MNP also increases. This is because, the mobile number will have to be scrubbed, cross checked or moved across two different directories,” TRAI chairman Nripendra Misra told ET. He also added that TRAI wants the centralised operator to be chosen via an auction process.

“A beauty contest will not be objective and transparent,” he added. It is learnt that five players — Telcordia, NeuStar, Syniverse and IBC, and CDoT are in the fray to become centralised operators. TRAI has also said that DoT has failed to specify the porting fee — the amount it would cost the subscriber to change his operator. The regulator has also observed that national and international long distance carriers (operators who carry STD and ISD traffic) will be required to route calls on the ported numbers, but the policy remains silent on the modalities.

Besides, it has also added that as per the DoT’s guidelines, all operators would become dependent on the two centralised operators to provide MNP. This may impact the quality of service, the regulator warned. “We do not in any way want to be seen as stopping the process of MNP. We are all for it. Being a regulator, we have only expressed our concerns over the guidelines,” Mr Misra said. With regard to WiMAX spectrum auctions, TRAI has pointed out that successful bidders should be given 20 MHz of radio frequencies either in the 2.3 MHz band or the 2.5 MHz band.

Put simply, Trai is of the view that the 20 MHz of spectrum cannot be spread across both these frequency bands. The WiMAX guidelines also say that successful bidders shall deposit 25% of the bid amount within five days of the bid and the remaining amount within 15 days, failing which, the earnest money (which is 25% of the reserve price) shall stand forfeited. But Trai believes that in case the successful bidder deposits 25% of the bid amount within 5 days and fails to deposit the balance sum (bid amount — bid deposit) within 15 days of the bid, then both the earnest money as well as his bid deposit should be forfeited.

Entertainment drives mobile internet growth in BRIC countries

Entertainment-themed websites are the most popular with mobile Internet users in the growing Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) mobile markets, says a new research report from The Nielsen company.

Entertainment, gaming, and music websites rank among the top 5 categories visited in all four BRIC countries. Unlike the mature markets like America and Europe, where information and news draws the most mobile Internet browsing. In the US, entertainment, music, and games place eighth, ninth, and tenth respectively.

“In the US and Europe, broad access to media and entertainment has been available for decades through a large fixed distribution infrastructure, and more recently in specialised devices like iPods, to meet consumer’s entertainment needs,” said Jeff Herrmann, vice president of mobile media at Nielsen.

“Users in the growing Brazil, Russia, India, and China markets haven’t had the benefit of broad-based content distribution thereby limiting their exposure, and are filling the service gap by embracing mobile’s transition into a personal entertainment platform,” he adds.

The research also reveals that mobile Internet continues to gain traction worldwide. More than 11 per cent of Russian mobile users have accessed the Internet on their mobile device, trailing only the US, UK and Italy. At 6.8 per cent, China’s mobile Internet penetration is on par with Germany’s, and although Brazil and India trail the rest of the pack, penetration in the two countries is an important first step towards wider adoption.

“Mobile fills an important access gap in nations where Internet access is not always readily available in homes and schools. The data comes from the Mobile Media Marketplace report released by Nielsen. Nielsen now measures mobile behavior in BRIC countries to provide a consistent global view of mobile market development and the growth of mobile media consumption,” said Herrmann.

Tata will launch Blackberry Services in INDIA

Tata Teleservices is expected to be launching the Blackberry mobile services soon.

Apparently, the commercial launch of the Blackberry services will be announced soon and Tata is likely to roll out the Blackberry services in two months.

Blackberry services has been creating buzz for quite some time now. Earlier the government had refused the proposal of Blackberry launch in India on the basis of security concerns.

Well, the government is yet to clearly address the security concerns related to these services.

Tata Group company is said to invest Rs. 8,000 crore over the next two years out of which Rs. 6,000 crore will be invested in building a pan-India GSM network and the remaining amount would be spent on strengthening the existing CDMA networks.

Other telecom players offering Blackberry services in India are Reliance Communications, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone-Essar.

CDMA cos too must bid for 3G: TRAI

KOLKATA/NEW DELHI: Cracks have surfaced in the recently announced 3G spectrum policy. Telecom regulator TRAI has said the government’s decision to allot third generation (3G) spectrum to CDMA players without an auction is against the principles of equality.

This is because the policy gives CDMA operators ‘one’ slot in the 800 MHz band — the most efficient and cost-effective frequency for CDMA players to offer high-end services — with a rider that the largest operator in a circle would get it. This means Reliance Communications, with the largest subscriber base in all circles, except Delhi and Maharashtra, will be given 3G spectrum ahead of other CDMA players Tata Teleservices, BSNL, MTNL and Shyam Telecom in the 800 MHz frequency band.

DoT currently has 3G frequencies in the 800 MHz to accommodate only one CDMA player. ET has also learnt that it will take over a year for the defence forces to free additional frequencies in the 800 MHz band. This means other CDMA players will have to wait for over a year and the position can change only if there’s an auction. On the other hand, GSM players like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Essar and Idea Cellular will have to go through a global auction to get 3G spectrum.

Earlier this month, communications minister A Raja had unveiled the 3G policy which would help telecom operators to offer high-end services such as video conferencing, faster downloads of music and movies, interactive gaming and high speed internet. TRAI chairman Nripendra Misra in a August 8, 2008 communication to DoT secretary S Behura has said:

“Since various service providers have been given licences in different service areas at different time periods, TRAI believes that keeping the subscriber base as the criterion for deciding the priority of spectrum allotment shall go against the level-playing field and the principle of equity.”

Additionally, Mr Misra also said RCOM and Tata Teleservices apart, several other players such as BSNL, MTNL and Shyam Telecom have been given the licence to offer CDMA services.

“So, the government must take the auction route to allot 3G frequencies in the 800 MHz band for CDMA players as well.

” Further, to drive home the issue’s seriousness, Mr Misra has used firm words to emphasise the need for a review of the policy: “Spectrum in the 800 MHz should be auctioned among applicants with the highest bid price received for the auction of 2.1 GHz spectrum as the reserve price.

The subscriber base of the CDMA network of a service provider in any service area is a result of different environments, and cannot muster the test of fairness if it was to become the basis of priority.

” Mr Misra’s communication is likely to come as a major embarrassment to the DoT and communications minister A Raja, since both have been maintaining that the government would provide equal opportunities to all players to bid for 3G frequencies.

“RCOM will have a clear and distinct advantage. Other CDMA operators may have to wait a long time,” said an executive with a private CDMA operator who did not wish to be named.

When it was pointed out that CDMA players had the options of bidding for 3G frequencies in the 450 MHz and 1900 MHz bands, the executive said: “The best band is 800 MHz. Since CDMA players already offer 2G in this frequency, the migration to 3G would be easy.

The 450 MHz band is largely for rural India. As for the 1900 MHz band, there is no timeframe when this will be made available. The policy is therefore tailormade for the largest CDMA operator.

” When contacted on the issue, Mr Misra said the regulator had sent its views to the DoT on the recently unveiled policy and added, “We are only saying that allotting 3G spectrum based on the number of subscribers is not feasible.

Different operators got CDMA licences at different times and therefore the subscriber base cannot be compared

News Google

A few months ago I was planning a vacation to Austria and Italy. I knew a few words and phrases in German and Italian, but that was about it. So I looked around for some portable language dictionaries. I thought Google Translate was great, but the web page didn't work that well on the iPhone.

So I teamed up with David Singleton, a fellow engineer in our London office, to build an iPhone interface for Google Translate.Google Translate for iPhone is optimized for speed, supports all of the existing Google Translate language pairs, and uses a client-side data-store on your iPhone to hang on to your past translations so you always have them at hand, even if you can't use the local data network.

We wrote this using the AJAX Language API, so every time the Google Translate team updates the languages they support, the languages will automatically be added here.I tried an early version of this interface out on my trip and it was great -- although my pronunciation wasn't. So every now and then, I would just hold up my phone to let people read what I couldn't. If you're wondering about data costs, I found that I could get between 200 and 400 translations in 1MB of data download.

Although we don't charge for this service, your carrier may charge for the data usage so be sure to know what your roaming rates are. For my plan, I found that I could translate 400 phrases for less than $10 when roaming internationally.To try Google Translate for iPhone, point your iPhone or iPod Touch web browser to www.google.com and choose the "more" tab. Or you can go directly to translate.google.com in your browser. If you are traveling this summer (perhaps on your way to Beijing?) we hope you find this useful.
