Mobile Service Black Out As Spat Between Reliance & Etisalat Continue
2012-01-27 09:06:00 Around 1.7 Million Indians are suffering owing to the behavior of two Telecom Giants. Reliance Communication & Etisalat DB. Etilsalat’s customers are facing disruption of services since Friday owing to Reliance Communication disconnecting its services for the company. The Base Stations used by Etisalat are provided by Reliance under a US$ 2 billion, 10-year deal signed in 2009.

Snapdeal.com Is Now Mobile! Late To The Party?
2012-01-24 07:45:00 Snapdeal.com is one India’s fast growing e-commerce sites. This growth is reflected in the amount of media spends that the company is currently doing. You must have seen the ‘YamDude’ ads on television. They are going all out to acquire more traditional customers rather than netizens. The company has now launched its mobile site which will help their customers to get all the exciting deals on the go. It should be kept in mind that this is not an app but WAP portal. As we all know that apps rule the roost on mobile then why would Snapdeal launch a mobile site? The rationale might be the fact that smart phones are not that prevalent in the country as of now and hence a WAP site has more advantages than an app for their TG. The most important advantage of the mobile site is the fact that it can work on any Internet enabled phone and hence can target more people than a standalone app for platforms like Blackberry. Android and iOS could. Some of the salient features of this WAP p...

Mobile VAS Is Huge Business, Confirms IAMAI. Are Mobile Companies Listening
2012-01-18 05:46:00 Value Added Services (VAS) will comprise a third of revenue generated for Mobile Telcos confirmed a report by Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI). IAMAI, which routinely offers eye-openers for the industry, has set another ball rolling for them with the revelation that Mobile VAS market in India could be a market worth Rs. 671 Billion by 2015. We tried to look at the claim & observed the following: It’s not how many, but what you offer, matters. While there are routine services like Caller tunes or Call-back tunes, the companies need to allocate resources to offer new & unique services to the customers. Topics such as security, medical assistance, one-click approach, education, etc are must, if these companies want to increase adoption of such services. Wackiness helps. Some companies like Vodafone have started offering Cooking Tips & Matrimonial leads though Value Added Services. Jokes, Stock market updates as passé. If one wants to really up the game i...

The Future Of Healthcare Via Smartphone’s: Mobile Health Care Anyone?
2012-01-18 05:44:00 The mobile phone has brought about a lot of changes. First it changed the way we communicate with others over telephones. It made the office wireless.

With always on 3G, Wireless Sensors, and Cameras added to the mobile phone, it began to get a lot of other uses.

Mobile Ad Network Vserv Eyes Emerging Markets. To Open Operations In Singap
2012-01-13 09:30:00 Mumbai-based mobile ad network Vserv is planning to setup office in Singapore by February end. Adserv offers AdWrapper which comes in handy to insert advertisements into a developer’s mobile application. We had recently witnessed something similar for videos. The platform is vital even for low end phones connected merely through GPRS / EDGE & not the flailing 3G. The strength of Vserv’s AdWrapper lies in implementing ads without changing source code. Even more, the application offers free Ad mediation & House Ads along with exhaustive App analytics. Thus the business analysis is also taken care of automatically. No need to go to a third party. Presently, the company is active in the J2ME or java apps sphere. We think, this strategic growth could also fuel expansion in other platforms that are doing well. Why the urge for an Ad-Network agency to open a Brick and Mortar office? While Adserv may be doing quite well, the results of business development have been pas...
