DoT rule to lower bandwidth costs |
 |
|
In a move that would improve the availability of cheaper international bandwidth in the country, the Government has decided to allow unlimited number of bandwidth resellers in the country.
The resellers will buy the wholesale bandwidth from licensed international long-distance (ILD) operators such as Reliance Communications, Tata Communications (formerly VSNL) or Bharti and sell it to end-consumers such as BPOs, banks, and exporters.
The move will benefit larger consumers of bandwidth such as ITeS companies, BPOs and Internet service providers who will be able to buy bandwidth from the resellers at much lower costs.
It will also benefit IT services companies as they will be able to expand their product portfolio by bundling international leased lines along with the services that they offer to their customers. ILD operators, who can now ride on the resellers to increase their reach apart from getting assured business.

Google's Android phone is here |
|
|
Google has handed a few hundred phones to its internal teams of engineers for real world testing. These reference models, presumably preproduction versions of the HTC Dream, are inconspicuous. Thicker than an iPhone, the flat, grayish-black hunk of plastic does not call attention to itself. It takes a savvy pedestrian to spot its identifying marks: a bank of serial numbers engraved across its face and backplate and a discrete white "with Google" badge stamped on the back.
The G1, which is made by the Taiwanese electronics maker HTC, has a large color touch screen that slides out to expose a full keyboard. It also has a 3-megapixel camera, G.P.S. navigation, Wi-Fi access and an Internet browser. It will sell for $179, or $20 less than the iPhone, with a two-year voice and data plan.
“This is as good a computer as you had a few years ago,” said Google’s co-founder Larry Page, who along with co-founder Sergey Brin arrived on Rollerblades at the New York stage where Google and T-Mobile held a news conference to unveil the G1.

HP Wireless printers now in India |
|
|
Printers go wireless: HP Photosmart C6388, all-in-one, will be among the first wireless-enabled printers to be launched in India. But owners of older printers can add a wireless adapter
Wireless-enabled HP printers, whose launch in India is imminent, include the Photosmart C4580, C6388 and C5380 — all multifunction print-scan-copy inkjets. In addition to WiFi capability, they have an optional Bluetooth link which enables quick transfer of pages or pictures from mobile phones or digital cameras, over a few metres. The machines are internationally priced at $139, $149 and $199 respectively. Even the cheapest of these can print 30 pages a minute in monochrome and 23 pages in colour. The HP trend means wireless is coming to the budget end of printing, and not just to the pricier offerings. Indeed, wireless will first be common in the consumer end of the printing spectrum — and not at the enterprise end, Mr Morgan says.
For legacy printers - For those who have legacy, non-wireless printers of any make, wireless kits (mostly Bluetooth) are available; so the old printers can print wirelessly by simply plugging in the USB device. This costs about $50 equivalent.

BSNL to invest in Europe India Gateway (EIG) cable |
|
|
State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL), Bharti Airtel, Tata Communications (formerly VSNL) and Saudi Telecom are investing around $400 million in an undersea cable link -- The Europe India Gateway (EIG) cable. Though the other telecom firms have stakes in other submarine cables, this would be the first undersea cable owned by BSNL in which the company is investing $50 million. Sources said that the company’s board has approved the investment in the project.
Once the cable is up, it would help BSNL offer more competitive rates for its broadband and international long distance tariffs.
BSNL, which is the largest broadband service provider in the country, derives as much as Rs 2,000 crore revenue from the segment, but analysts say that it stands a huge threat from Wi-Max, and the only way forward is capacity expansion which will be best done through participating in such consortiums.

IPTV services - surf TV channels on Internet |
|
|
Imagine that you got all your favourite television programmes without having to put up with pesky cable wires or a direct-to-hone (DTH) satellite dish.
With the Union Cabinet okaying guidelines for internet protocol television (IPTV), this is set to become a reality. What’s more, it won’t cost you more than DTH or cable.
IPTV, simpy put, is television content delivered through broadband internet rather than the traditional wiring or satellite dishes. Often, IPTV is bundled with internet access services.
The big stumbling block so far had been IPTV service providers alleging that broadcasters were charging them more than they were from DTH or cable providers, therefore making their services too costly.
The Cabinet decision makes it clear that IPTV providers would get channels from broadcasters as per broadcasters’ rates fixed by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
