Idea Cellular Q2 Results: Net Profits Grow, Hints At Pricing Pressure
2009-10-27 12:12:00 Idea Cellular seems to be riding high on Indian telecom growth story as it has reported a 52 per cent rise in the consolidated net profit to Rs 220.1 crore against Rs 144 crore in corresponding quarter. The revenues have also seen a similar surge by 29% at Rs 2973.9 crore against Rs. 2303.3 crores reported last year. The number might look impressive on Y-o-Y basis but are lackluster if compared on a sequential basis as revenues has been flat and profits down severely. The company has also witnessed erosion in operating margins as it is down by 140 basis points at 25.3 per cent. Mr Aga, Idea MD has also hinted at pricing pressures in short term and emphasized the fact that around 20% of all Indian subscribers are using multiple SIMs causing Telcos to realign their tariffs. Subscriber Count & Other Stats: The company’s subscriber tally stands at 51 million with a rise of 50% Y-o-Y. The company along with its subsidiaries operates commercially in 18 circles but ho...

I Have No Idea What I Said on This Pet World Radio Show
2009-10-20 14:23:00 Steve Dale I have the weirdest normal life, by which I mean my life is exactly like you'd expect it to be except for completely bizarre stuff always popping up unexpectedly, leaving me to wonder if I court strangeness. Thus I found myself awake at 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning (which hasn't happened since I was probably 7 years-old) answering questions on a radio call-in show hosted by Steve Dale of Pet World. Despite finding my thoughts on dogs morally repugnant and illogical, he did offer to buy me a beer if I was on the show (because I said, "Ok, but you owe me a beer.") This is because I wrote a column in RedEye making the very...

Chicago casino idea folds
2009-10-10 19:12:00 The old Michael Reese Hospital won't be the site of a casino because Daley objects. Does he have his own plan for the site?It didn't take long for the backers of a casino on what would have been the site of the Olympic Village to fold their cards. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is the house dealer and he dealt them a bad hand. (Story here.)Aldermen Richard Mell (33) and George Cardenas (12) had suggested the idea after Chicago failed to win the 2016 Olympics. But after Daley squelched the idea, they instantly gave up. Cardenas said, "We have to have a buy-in from the mayor to have a chance."More evidence that in Chicago, Daley holds all the cards. I'm...
Trip Idea: A Long Weekend in Denver
2009-10-09 19:45:00 Scott Ingram Photography via Flickr Did you know that the flight from Chicago to Denver is only 2.5 hours long? On the way back, it's closer 2 hours flat, making it an easy jaunt for a long weekend. Southwest, United, and Frontier operate dozens of low-cost flights between the two cities each day, with prices ranging from $180 to $250 per person. Drinking and dining is relatively cheap and mid-priced hotels average $130 per night so it's a trip you can pull off on even a smaller budget. If you only have the weekend, concentrate your time in just Denver or Boulder. If you can stretch your vactation to 3 or 4 days, it's worth getting out of the city to explore....

Thorbjrn Meyer: Is Democracy Such A Good Idea?
2009-10-05 00:06:00 My regular readers will have noticed my use of - not uncommonly - phrases of the sort: Sathya Sai Baba and certain of his core leaders. Worthy leaders have their assistants or followers; oppressive ones have their henchmen. Thorbjrn Meyer, European Central Coordinator of the Sathya Sai Organization, is regarded by a number who know him well as being of the henchman variety. Meyer's lack of accountability is great. Abandoned are essential values of democratic accountability, as if they had never been heard of. This is of course true in regard to various other key Sathya Sai Baba leaders; however, Meyer is one of the foremost of the guru's leaders, and his accountability the greater. He is right at the hub of the cover up of Sathya Sai Baba, and of his monumental spiritual betrayal, and of the suppression of serious crimes that would, were India far more properly democratic, be investigated as a matter of course. Robert Priddy, when head of the Sathya Sai Organization, knew...

The HARMONY IDEA-LOGY Will Not Work
2009-09-13 17:17:00 "Trying to please two opposing factions at the same time" is the definition of HARMONY IDEA-LOGY.The two opposing factions of society in this case are The Big Corporations Vs. The Everyday Workdaday People where healthcare reform is concerned. It is like using the oxymoronic expression JUMBO SHRIMP or A JOBLESS RECOVERY. Our "Measuring stick for American Morons" has been set to an all time low to even think to use such expressions as A JOBLESS RECOVERY. Every American thinking head, should be scratching their heads saying to themselves WTF is that? And with good reason. Because such a thing is not possible. It is a made up expression to get the people enmasse to believe such a thing is possible. It is not. But I digress. This blogpost is about HARMONY IDEOLOGY i.e. trying to please everyone to have a win-win for everyone involved in healthcare reform. When our President said he has no desire to put the insurance companies out of business because they employ a great many of our ...

Orkut Asks Users to Stop Using IE 6: A Very Good Idea
2009-08-11 20:24:00 I don’t have IE 6 on my system so couldn’t really check on this bit, but there’s no reason to doubt Mashable anyway. So in an interesting move, Orkut greeted its visitors suggesting them to upgrade their existing IE 6 browser to something more modern. On Google’s part they did well to not just push Chrome but also IE 8 and Firefox, in fact it put IE 8 as the first choice for users to click on for a better browsing experience. Why this call for upgrade – well for most of us who read (and write at WATBlog) it’s really a no brainer, IE 6 is old and grumpy enough to not doesn’t display sites properly. It’s not just the speed or lack of tabs and apps though. Open any web stylesheet and you will find either a hack, or a patch for IE 6. In other words it makes matters difficult for web designers and developers to experiment on the web without having to make special accommodations for an old browser. Orkut has predominant usage in India and B...

With the world’s largest populations, China has all the human resources it needs to continue to expand."As the government gives more and more freedom to businesses, we’ll see these resources put to good use. This is an undeniable trend that is just gaining momentum."China Mobile is a Hong Kong based provider of digital voice and data services for China. The company has consistently been ...
Why did condo-hotels seem like a good idea?
2009-08-10 23:16:00 When I first learned about condo-hotels around 2006, it seemed like a decend idea to me: the developer sell you a unit, you can stay there as many days as you want, and the property manager rents it out the rest of the time. You share the profits. On the surface, owning a hotel room doesn't seem like a bad investment choice- it's low maintenence, but you could still have a very nice vacation "home." And at the time developers were trying to knock each other out with amenity packages. But just four years later, the concept has pretty much disappeared, according to this Crain's article from today. With just one of the dozen condo-hotel projects in the city really...

An Idea To Make Marko Jaric's Career Somewhat Interesting
2009-08-04 17:15:00 She's with him? What? Oh well, I think Marko needs to do something to be more than a bad bench warmer with a hot wife. Even though he's averaged 10.2 points per 36 minutes for his career (which I was surprised at), he should collaborate with NBA TV.The collaboration would be a show called Wednesday Nights with Marko and Adriana. Other titles could be This Girl Dates That Guy???, or How the Hell Did Marko Jaric get his own show?? Basically, NBA TV would film whatever Marko and Adriana do for an hour.It'd be like NBA meets TMZ. Except this isn't the most famous baller, by a long shot. I can see them eating dinner with a couple. Fighting when they went away. That would be entertaining enough until the season started..Yes, this post is sponsored by NBA off-season boredom. Can we start a show like this to make things a little interesting, Stern???What other similar ideas do you all have?

MoneyLetter's emerging idea
2009-07-23 14:00:00 "While the US recovery is provoking doubt, China's economy seems to be moving ahead to meet its growth goals," says Walter Frank. In Moneyletter, he eyes an Asia Pacific ETF. "China is moving ahead despite the weak export market it faces. The Chinese equivalent to the ISM surveys -- already in positive territory -- moved further into positive territory in June. Obviously the Chinese stimulus is doing its job."Yet even with China we find the same problem that is plaguing our own markets: valuation. The huge March through May rally has left the Chinese market close to being fully valued."What will propel the next rally? We think the answer lies not in China, but in the US. As long as the US market remains in the doldrums, investors everywhere will continue to worry about slow growth stemming from weak global export markets."Strong Asian growth will help, but Asian markets cannot adequately substitute for the US market.

A 'concrete' idea in China
2009-07-14 14:00:00 "China will account for about 40% of cement consumption in 2010," says Konrad Kuhn. In The Kon-Lin Letter, he looks at China Advanced Construction Materials (Other OTC: CADC)."China has been referred to as the world's largest construction site, using mor than 50% of the world's cranes. It accounts for half of all building activity in the world."The Chinese government's continued efforts to modernize the country's infrastructure is exemplified by such massive projects as the South-North Water Diversion, designed to redirect water to the northern plains from Central and South China. "This project alone will account for cement consumption of over 1 million metric tons per year; this project will take an estimated 40 years to be completed."Much of China's $586 billion stimulus package is allocated towards infrastructure projects, a key focus of China Advanced Construction."The company produces and supplys advanced ready-mi...
RCom’s Novel Idea a Smart Move - Don’t Think So
2009-07-14 09:22:00 There is always a transitional period while moving on from one technology to the other. It’s not just from an Internet/Software/Tech perspective. The ancient Europeans might have scorned Gutenberg’s Press the same quite a few “puritans” in India scorn the concept of an e-book. Now, an ebook for all purposes is difficult to read as compared to a normal in-your-hand book (personal opinion of the author). While more sophisticated devices like the iPhone reader or the Amazon Kindle might inspire a lot of attention in the West, most people in India read ebooks on the PC, some might have ebooks via PDF readers on their mobile phones, with most people sticking to the normal print concept. No one denies how useful ebooks can be. Access to a vast array of information, search facilities, and cost and space effectiveness are clearly some of the most ardent arguments supporting it. But Reliance Communications has taken a step forward. More so a leap, into a hitherto unkn...
