Newkia aims to collect Nokia engineering talent and launch Android based smartphones

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 11:56 AM PDT

Speaking to ZDNet in an interview Thursday, Thomas Zilliacus, executive chairman and founder of Mobile FutureWorks, did not mince his words when asked about his views on Microsoft's US$7.2 billion deal to buy out Nokia's devices and services unit. "The deal reflects the complete failure of the Windows strategy Stephen Elop chose when he was appointed Nokia CEO some two years ago.

"Nokia, which only three years ago was the world's runaway market leader in mobile phones, is today a small and insignificant brand," he said, noting that the purchase price announced yesterday represented just 2 percent of Nokia's market cap over 10 years ago.

Zilliacus spent over 15 years as a Nokia employee including seven where he was its Asia-Pacific CEO. He left in 1993 but spent another three years under Nokia's payroll as a regional consultant. He left to become an entrepreneur and currently runs investment company Mobile FutureWorks, which advisors include former Nokia's mobile phones CEO Jorma Nieminen and Ericsson's former CEO Sven-Christer Nilsson.

Zilliacus, in fact, tried to buy out Nokia a year ago with the aim to steer the company toward a strategy focused on Android, but was unable to raise enough funds to do so despite approaching several global sovereign wealth and equity funds.

 

Tata Sky DTH now replacing MPEG2 STBs with MPEG4 STBs for free!

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 11:29 AM PDT

We are replacing close to 5-6 million MPEG-2 SD STBs at no cost to consumers over the next year. All of this is coming in from internal accruals.

 

But you need to wait for one more year to see many new channels

 

 

 

We have been adding channels in a phased manner; the process will now be accelerated with the MPEG-4 STB. By June-July next year we should be able to revise our channel offerings to consumers,

An appeal to Indian voters for 2014 election

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 11:13 AM PDT

Indian public has been badly letdown by corrupt political leaders. Hopelessness and sense of being knocked down is natural outcome of widely prevailing corruption. It is time to accept the reality of corruption and do our best. In the scenario when no political party is free of corruption, I appeal to voters to judge the party which is less corrupt and bring it to power. If  we are successful in bringing to power a party which is even 10% less corrupt than other, we will be making our country richer by billions of rupees. This act would be as charitable as donating blood and more charitable than donating millions of rupees to the country.

So although badly knocked down , it is for you to stand up and fight. Nobody else will.

With regards,

(B.J. Gupta)

Tikona Broadband User Experiences

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 11:12 AM PDT

Thought I would start another thread for people who have actually used this service to describe their experience.

They have started advertising quite heavily in Bombay and their plans seem pretty decent. Their 600kbps UL plan would be excellent for me.

I really like the way they have bill limits for their limited plans as well. That shows they understand consumer concerns about enormous bills and have designed their plans to allay them.

So how good is their service? Any down time? How quickly do they respond to complaints? Really any information from people who have used Tikona would be appreciated.

Kaun Banega Crorepati Updates

KBC makers on the hot seat, fined Rs 1 cr

New Delhi: Arguably the most successful game show in Indian television Kaun Banega Crorepati was on Thursday adjudged unfair in certain aspects by the National Consumer Commission which imposed a fine of Rs 1 crore on broadcaster Star TV and the sponsor Airtel.

"Star Plus TV and Bharti Airtel Limited are held to have violated the provisions of Consumer Protection Act in conducting the 'Har Seat Hot Seat' (HSHS) contest which was in conjunction with the main television show Kaun Banega Crorepati and thereby adopted unfair trade practice," the Commission presided by Justice M B Shah said.

The Commission, also comprising members Rajyalakshmi Rao and Anupam Dasgupta, held that in 52 episodes of KBC-3 the telecom company and the channel made a profit of Rs 8.12 crore out of the SMSes sent by viewers to participate in the contest.

"Considering the large amount of profit earned and large number of consumers affected, this would be a fit case for imposing punitive damage of Rs 1 crore," it said.

Popular TV game show KBC, hosted by Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan between January 22 to April 19, 2007, was sponsored by Airtel.

Airtel Corporate plan changes - No more A2O free

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 09:48 AM PDT

So, I just got a message that Airtel no longer has minutes to other mobiles free on my corporate connection, only A2A instead of A2M/A2O (other mobiles) & also SMSes are charged. Customer care said new plans are coming and you can wait for a while (2-3 days in their words) and choose. I personally am tempted to dump Airtel. But before I do, would like feedback on which other provider is better in Chennai.

 

No need of 3G. So non-3G providers are also fine. Low-cost and good coverage are what I am looking at. Was paying 149+tax for 300 A2M & around 150-200 SMS you can say (which I use around 50-60%).

 

Also, I feel others will join the bandwagon.. So thinking if should hold on to Craptel.

 

P.S - For dumping, I will switch to prepaid Airtel & then move out as that seems as easier process for MNP

The MyColorScreen team has been hard at work creating a one-click theming app for Android known creatively as "Themer." That brief introduction pretty much sums up everything you need to know about this app. It changes the look and feel of your home screen with just one click. And no, I don't mean it just changes around a few icons. Each theme looks fundamentally different from the one that came before it.

Airtel offered me a new plan

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 09:32 AM PDT

Airtel called me today and said since I'd taken Smartbytes for 12gb last month, they wanted to offer 125 fup plan(80gb now) at the same speed(8mbps) for 50rs extra.

 

I also heard they are giving 3g at 2g rates in my area these days.

Is airtel on a PR improving spree? Anyone got offers like this?

Problem with address verification service TATA DOCOMO 3G

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 08:44 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I have recently bought TATA DOCOMO 3G connection. After that I have very disappointing experience from various representatives of TATA DOCOMO. Here I am illustrating them. I would like to know which is the official place where can I place a complaint against their service.

 

1. For address verification their executive called me and took an appointment. But at last moment he called back and told me that he will verify address via phone and verified all relevant details. In spite of this I received a message from TATA DOCOMO saying that they have failed to verify address and would terminate connection if I do not get back to their service center within 48 hours. I called up the executive who took my details, who assured me that he will get back to me, which he did not and my connection got blocked.

 

2. I called customer care and he reactivated the connection, but told that address will be verified within next 3 days. I lodged complaint against their executive who failed to verify my address and on the top of that conveyed incorrect information. I was shocked to see that the person on other side hesitated to take my complaint saying that my connection is now back so why should I care. When I insisted upon filing a complaint he took it down. He asked me name and number of that executive.

 

3. Two out of three days assured by customer care have passed and still their representative has not turned up. On the top of that I have started receiving message to call customer care/service center within 48 hours to avoid blocking of connection. I called back to customer care and the fellow on other hand told me couple of shocking things: a ] Their representative tried calling me, but I was unreachable. I know that my cell phone was within range all the time for entire day. This clearly shows that their executive lied to them b ] The complaint that I had filed earlier has been resolved (exactly what they did when they claim to have resolved my complaint is beyond my comprehension), and that complaint does not contain name and phone number of the executive who failed to verify my address. This means either first fellow from customer care just pretended to note down the credentials of their executive.

 

I would like to know which is a legal forum where I can put forward my case and avoid calling these unprofessional fellows every three days.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

PS: I have noted names of both representatives from customer care. Also I have surname and phone number of their executive who failed to verify my address.

Frequent Disconnection / ADSL blinking Issue on MTNL Broadband

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 06:03 AM PDT

Hi,

I am a user of 849NU plan of MTNL Triband service since August based out of Navi Mumbai.

All of August, i was very happy to have a lovely connection and good speeds, with a pretty good tariff.
But now since the past 15 days I am suffering from very intermittent net connection.
Although I am connected to the internet, sometimes the webpages take ages to open, and never open, while at other times it opens instantly. Also downloading has the same pattern, sometimes I get very good speeds of upto 200 Kbps, while other times there is no download. Although all download sites show good Triband Speed, but it is the intermittent connection that is the problem.
This problem has crept up in the last 15 odd days, and I have tried everything but no change has been noticed.

Has anyone else faced a similar problem, and if yes, whats the work around. The people at MTNL classify this as a slow connection problem, but that is exactly not the issue, as I do get good speeds intermittently.

Somebody please help me.

Apparently the gamepad accessory for the Galaxy S4 support devices as large as 6.3 inches. So, the rumor in the market is that Note3 might feature a display as large. lol. 

 

I think they should have added support for 8" devices so that the recently launched Note 8.0 would have worked with this! 

Don Jon

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 04:14 AM PDT

Joseph Gordon-Levitt made a movie about porn addiction. It's sweet, funny, deeply emotional, and ultimately not really about porn at all. Instead, Gordon-Levitt's movie is about the ways people create distance and engage superficially with the relationships in their lives — whether with lovers, religion or PornHub – without ever really connecting.

"I wanted to tell a story about how people objectify each other and how media often contributes to that, especially when it comes to love and sex," said Gordon-Levitt at SXSW after the premiere of Don Jon, which he wrote, directed and starred in. "We learn a lot of expectations from movies, or TV shows, or commercials, or magazines, or pornography, and those expectations are unrealistic and maybe not so healthy. And if we're busy comparing our own lives and our partners to those expectations, we're doomed."
