BSNL ROLL OUT 3G SERVICE FROM CHENNAI

2009-02-22T18:21:00.001+05:30

By the 27th of this month, mobile telephony will enter its third generation (3G) in 12 cities in India, courtesy the state owned telecom service provider BSNL.
Union minister for communication and IT A Raja launched BSNL's 3G services pan India, from Chennai, on Sunday, by making the first video call to TN chief minister M Karunanidhi.
The PSU was awarded one block of 2*5 MHz 3G spectrum in all telecom circles in the country, six months before, without participating in the auction, at a price equal to the winning bids in the respective circles, in the auctions to be held before March 31st.
"Considering the need for faster penetration of 3G, and the need for telecom access to rual areas, the Government policy will allow telecom infrastructure sharing between commercial telcos as well as infrastructure providers," Mr.Raja said. DoT also plans enable mobile number portability (MNP) in major cities by August, and in other towns by end of this year. Bids have been invited of providing MNP switches.
On the occasion, BSNL also launched its India Golden 50 tariff scheme, where, by increasing the pulse duration for all calls to 120 s, the tariffs have been have been reduced by 50-80%. Presently, a pulse is calculated at 90 s for national calls to other networks and 60 s within network.
"Besides upgrading mobile data speeds to 2 mbps from the present 144 kbps, we will also offer video screening of calls, video on demand, mobile surveillance, Live TV, movie downloads etc on our 3G platform," BSNL CMD Kuldeep Goyal said. For this, the company will scale up tie-ups with its existing content providers. However, the telco will not be providing its previously launched IPTV service, which has garnered 5000 subscribers, on 3G.
"We plan to operate 5 million lines spanning all district headquarters and important towns by end of this year at an investment of Rs.2700 crore," Mr Goyal said. "We expect 5% of our 2G subscribers to migrate to 3G." The company expects a revenue addition of Rs 500-1000 crore by this customer addition, and a 20% revenue augmentation by infrastructure sharing.
BSNL has tied up with Nokia, Sony and Samsung for handset bundling, the cheapest of which is priced at Rs.7000. Voice tariff schemes begin from a fixed monthly charge of Rs.350 for prepaid, and Rs 500 for postpaid. Data subscriptions are available starting Rs 250. The company has tied up with Micromax and Huawei for offering laptop data cards at prices ranging form Rs 3800 to 6000. "Trials are on to launch mobile banking on our 2G and 3G platforms," Mr Goyal said.

Airtel, Vodfone Launch BlackBerry Flip in India

2009-01-08T02:53:00.000+05:30

Airtel and Vodafone have finally brought RIM's first clamshell smartphone -- BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 -- to India. While most of us associate BlackBerry with wide bodied, brick like handsets, RIM seems desperate to change that notion. That is precisely why we now see gorgeous, compact handsets like the Curve 8900 and the Storm which seem to have become style statements - at least in the US. If you thought the flip design has lessened the "Blackberry Effect" on the phone, be prepared to be surprised. It can do almost everything your "normal" blackberry can - except for that much needed QWERTY keyboard layout. Instead of that, what we have here is RIMs SureType input technology. The keys are still labelled in the QWERTY layout -- but will use shared keys, instead of dedicated ones.

On the multimedia front, it sports an expected 2 megapixel camera with digital zoom and not to mention, flash, video recording, stereo Bluetooth support wit A2DP, and an easily accessible expandable memory card slot for up to 16GB of additional storage. There is WiFi crammed in as well. Here's a brief spec sheet.
Enhanced SureType keyboard for easy text entry and phone dialing
Support for text messaging, picture messaging, popular instant messaging services, personal email (access up to 10 supported email accounts), and corporate email
2 megapixel camera with digital zoom, built-in flash and video recording
Advanced media player for music, video and pictures with full-screen video playback
Stereo Bluetooth support (A2DP/AVRCP) and 3.5mm stereo headset jack
Media management software including the new BlackBerry Media Sync application making it quick and easy to sync iTunes digital music onto the handset
Enhanced HTML browser for high-performance browsing with desktop-style depiction
Internal QVGA 2.4-inch diagonal display, 320 x 240 pixels and supports 65,000 colors
1GB microSD card included
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE/Wi-Fi network support including support for international roaming
Dimensions (LxWxD): 101mm x 50 mm x 17.5 mm
Weight (including removable battery): Approximately 102 gramsThe phone is priced at Rs. 21, 990 and is now available at Airtel and Vodafone stores across India.

The Yuva Concept From MOTOROLA

2008-10-07T12:45:00.001+05:30

After the success of Yuva concept from MOTOROLA the company has added series of new models for entry level buyers and seriously speaking the Yuva range phone are booming in the market now days so I decided to write a chotu review on all the Moto Yuva models in coming days.
It all started with the success of Yuva W230 which led to the launch of series of new models so let’s start with Yuva W230.

Yuva W230:

Yell, holler or do what ever you want the crystal talk technology make sure that the user at the other end can hear clearly .It has an MP3 player +FM tuner with 9 station preset and thanks to the expandable 2GB memory which can save up to 400+ songs and all it comes with Rs 2,500.

Advantages:

Can store 400+ songs
Can record song from FM which can also be used as ring tone.
Internet addict it do come with Gprs,with a inbuilt browser
Crystal talk

Disadvantages:

The company claims it has good battery life but what my friends who are using Yuva W230 says battery life is to poor.
Configuring Gprs is quite hectic if you are a newbie you will have to struggle a lot for configuring gprs ota settings doesn’t work in moto.

What I say is if you are a music addict + love to listen FM go for it

Full talk-time on mobile recharges from Sept 15

2008-09-01T20:29:00.001+05:30

Prepaid mobile subscribers now have more reasons to cheer as TRAI has imposed new guidelines for the telecom operators.

Guidelines for the operators:

Full talk time to prepaid subscribers with only Rs 2 to be charged to the subscriber as part of processing fee.
Lifetime subscribers can migrate to a plan of lower denomination without paying any charges.
No migration fee will be charged on the subscribers in case they scale from prepaid to postpaid connection and vice versa.
"Straight tariff reduction"

Sometimes the operators ask the subscribers to send an SMS or register themselves to avail the benefits of freshly announced tariff cuts.Now we don't have to worry about this.

Also nothing like 225 for 6months it must be min amount per 6 months for lifetime subscribers.
The SMS tariff that is normal on festival days can be implemented only for five days in year.

All the above guidelines will be applicable from September 15th 2008.I think it’s a good move by TRAI so what you think about this move from TRAI?
