2007-09-21T05:06:00.000-07:00

New Delhi Sep. 19: In this fast moving world everything is getting past. People hardly become used to the new technology or idea that next begins to knock at the door with new world. Now leaving internet PC advertising behind the time has come for advertising on mobiles. Google stepped in the venture with the launch of a new program ad sense for mobile.

Under this programme any website which can be reached through a mobile web browser will be able to take part in Google’s advertising network. Initially Google will provide services to only the partners of the AdSense who have created Web sites specifically for mobile browsers.

This will increase the revenue of the AdSense program partner through these ads as if consumer clicks on the ad the advertiser will pay Google a fee. Ads will be attached to content of the site and will cater to the interests of the users.

The new program of mobile advertising is expected to generate $ 2.12 billion revenue in US alone by 2011. This is to be known that Google has already arranged to get its search software on mobile handsets. Its most of advertising revenue comes from online searches and web pages viewed on PCs.

TRAI seeks comments on mobile television

2007-09-21T04:59:00.000-07:00

Tuesday, 18 September , 2007, 17:13

New Delhi: Seeking stakeholder's comments on mobile hand held television devices, telecom regulator TRAI today released consultation paper on preferred technologies to be used for such services.

TRAI also sought views preference for satellite or terrestrial system, spectrum requirements for analogue/digital/mobile television terrestrial broadcasting.

Others issues for which comments have been sought include methodology for frequency spectrum allocation, eligibility conditions for grant of license, net worth requirements, limits for FDI and portfolio investment, tenure of license, license fee - revenue share system or any other system, and licenses on national/regional/city basis, TRAI said in a statement.

Mobile television services refer to provision of television services to subscribers for viewing on handheld or portable devices such as mobile phones.

The television content can be provided through the mobile telecommunications networks or by using the broadcasting technologies.

In India, Doordarshan has already launched its mobile TV service in Delhi on trial basis. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has sought recommendations of the TRAI on various issues relating to mobile television services, such as international practice, eligibility criteria, net-worth requirement, foreign direct and indirect investment levels, technology to be adopted, revenue sharing, entry fees, bank guarantee and spectrum to be used.

The Authority has invited all stakeholders to respond to the issues raised in this consultation paper by September 30.

National Do Not Call / Disturb Directory of India

2007-09-17T23:30:00.000-07:00

Note :

With effective,Sept-1st, 2007 you need to register only with your Telecom Service Provider to stop all unsolicited communication. It is illegal for a telemarketer to call anybody who is in the Do Not Call List. The whole system will take some time to function smoothly. Kindly be patient for at least 4 weeks.

TRAI has proposed a Scrubbing Module which will filter consumers numbers from the telemarketers database. So your data with NDNC Registry will not be shared with Telemarketers :-)

Information Just:-----

Many of you have taken the time to paint the NDNC Registry in Black & White.

It is the brainchild of TRAI and we have forwarded all your valuable suggestions to them.

You can find the compilation of all the suggestions and comments .

Our comments appear after "//", below customer's comment.

How this Site came into existence ? Well, it is the duty of TRAI to protect your interests, but when they couldn't, we Telecom enthusiasts got together and started building this even before the Registry came into force; that's why you see those Financial Companies and Insurance company links which are no more necessary.

For Banks and Insurance companies, if a Do Not Call / Disturb form is not made available, we have linked to there customer care and we have contacted them.

We have never collected any personal information unlike some sites, which is illegal.

Should you have further suggestions, contact feedback AT NDNCRegistry.com

LG Chocolate KG800

LG Chocolate KG800

Before launching the Chocolate Phone into Europe, the manufacturer had been testing it out in Korea, where it turned out to be an overwhelming success – during the first three months more than 300 thousands of these handsets were sold countrywide. To make the scale of its popularity clear, let us turn to the figures and simply say: that amount makes nearly 7% of the entire Korean market. Thus, stirred up with that, the company took the decision to widen audience coverage and expand Black Label’s boundaries from the home market only to the US, Australia and Europe.

Sony Ericsson K850i

2007-09-09T10:04:00.000-07:00

Sony Ericsson K850i

The arrival of the Sony Ericsson K850i is expected by many in view of the handset’s top-notch functionality, as well as the 5 Mpix camera it retains, which is the top of the line solution in the Cyber-Shot range. Does this camera has something revolutionary to it and can it even have a claim for this title? To me, it is an evolution, when solutions previously experienced only with digital cameras are being carried over to handsets. In this model the manufacturer has focused on two major aspects – interface and ergonomics of the camera and also tweaked its performance in some modes.

It wouldn’t be the right thing to expect this camera module to stand up to real digital cameras – lack of space for building in quality lenses is still the greatest barrier. If you are a maximalist and demand superior quality, than conventional digital cameras are worth looking at, since handsets will always be lagging a step or even several generations behind.

It is quite another matter, though, when you want to squeeze out of your phone as much as possible. If that’s the case, then the Sony Ericsson K850i is the way to go..
