Sms Could Be the Driver Of Data & Mobile Internet Growth! Unbelievable?
2009-12-07 06:55:00 Its funny how two businesses which may look like competitors to you and me in a growing industry might actually be complementary businesses in the long run. What Im talking about are the businesses of SMS and Data on the mobile front. Lots of people believe that once data i.e. GPRS, 3G etc is ubiquitous then SMS would be dead. Now when this question was posed to Abhijit Saxena who is the CEO of Netcore at the IAMAI Digital Summit he had an interesting answer. He said “We are looking forward to the growth and usage of GPRS and the introduction of 3G this is because then we can add a link in a message which can make the experience of a consumer even better on the phone!” He went on the give an example on how during a cricket match when Sehwag gets out prior to making a triple ton a link could be sent along with the match score update to actually view the video how he got out. This would make the sms itself more valuable as well. Our Take Well come to think of it Sms could...

New DoT Directive Plans To Prefix An Additional 9 To Mobile Numbers
2009-12-04 05:08:00 If the Department of Telecommunications has its way, you could be spending the New Year’s day editing the contacts in your phonebook rather than actually calling your friends to wish them. A new DoT proposal plans to introduce an additional ‘9′ prefix to the existing ten digits of mobile numbers. The reason behind the introduction is said to be two-fold. Until recently, all mobile numbers in the country had a uniform format starting with the digit 9. However, in recent times that has changed partly because of the paucity of sufficient codes. Moving the mobile phone numbering system to eleven digits by prefixing an additional ‘9′ will not only bring back the uniformity, but also ensure sufficient capacity to cater to the massively growing wireless subscribers population in the country. While the intention behind the move cannot be questioned, the immediacy of the same has taken even mobile operators by surprise. Times Of India reports that many mobile n...

And this activity, which was unclear and termed more at that time is slowly becoming clear and has become one of the basic drivers for telecom growth in our country. I have no hesitations in admitting now that Mobile Based Social Networking is not a Fad. And, to know a fact, Mr. Jean Laurent Poitou, MD for Accenture’s Electronics & High-Tech Industry Group seconded my thought when he said, “The next wave of technology will be driven by connected devices. Mobile connectivity has reached people the fastest of all technologies and the wave of mobile internet will be driven by social networking.” If you are a close follower of what’s going on in the web arena nowadays, you would have come across many such reports in the recent past which have audaciously reported that ‘Mobile Soci...
