Airtel, Vodafone, Idea seek FM's "urgent" interventionBusiness Standard The heads of the top three telecom operators - Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India and Idea Cellular - sought Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's "urgent and personal" intervention to stop the re-farming of the 900MHz spectrum proposed by the telecom regulator, saying it would have a serious impact on the industry. A study by international research agency Analysis Mason, mandated by the three companies, said that as a result of re-farming, the operators would have to bear an incremental capital expenditure of Rs 54,739 crore and incremental annual operational expenditure of Rs 11,762 crore. Further, redistributing the 2G spectrum in the 900 MHz band would require the industry to have 286,590 base stations in the same band, which would mean an additional capex of Rs 26,653 crore to deploy new towers. These expenses would naturally be passed on to the consumers thereby raising mobile telephony rates by 64p a minute.     | |

In mobile advertising, size may not matterCellular News Screen size doesn't always matter when it comes to mobile ad performance, according to analysis of its own mobile advertising performance by Jumptap. Data from the Jumptap network of over 107 million monthly visitors showed that the Amazon Kindle, which measures seven inches in length, had a 1.02% click-through rate (CTR) while the slightly larger, 9.7 inch iPad had a 0.9% click-through rate. While tablets tend to have higher CTRs than smartphones, screen size isn't always a predictor. For example, the Samsung Galaxy Tab (0.53%), Note (0.58%), and Galaxy S (0.53%) all had comparable CTRs despite having three very different screen sizes, ranging from 10.1 inches to 3.5 inches. | |
| Insight | | | | Embedded Systems- India takes baby steps towards end-to-end development (Premium) - View Free Sample India is developing its own embedded design market, moving away from being a strictly outsourced industry. This means that Indian designers and engineers will have to drive actual product innovation and move towards product ownership, which to some extent is already happening. Embedded system development in India started during the early 2000s. According to a report released by National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) along with Zinnov Management Consulting, the total addressable embedded system R&D global opportunity is expected to reach $89 billion by 2015. India now has an established base for R&D and can leapfrog both for international and domestic consumption. |
The Evolving Security Paradigm in an increasingly Mobile World (Premium) - View Free SampleAs more and more employees use personal mobile devices to access enterprise networks and applications, there are increasing risks to the security of confidential information through new entrance points for potential attacks. Mobile technology today is taking communications and security to a whole new level. Consumers are increasingly looking to bring their smartphones, tablets and other devices that have transformed their personal lives to work. This means people can work anywhere at any time, creating new efficiencies for businesses -but also new challenges for protecting enterprise data. Rapid adoption of mobile technology will soon make security concerns in the wireless environment at least equal to those in the wired world. While these risks may persuade IT departments to think twice about deploying the latest mobile technologies, the headwind favouring delivery of broader access to applications and emerging cloudbased services underlines the fact that mobile devices are now an essential business productivity tool. |
1G Solution for a 3G World (Premium) - View Free SampleWith the introduction of expensive 3G in 2011 and 4G in 2012 in India, here is an effective application which will help one to stay connected at reasonably less cost. 2011 started with a lot of anticipation around the onset of 3G and recent introduction of 4G--how they would change the mobile landscape. There was a heightened sense of anxiety, and common perception was that the game-changing technology would forever alter the way users used their phones. After all, 3G itself was arriving after a very long wait and tremendous investments into spectrum. Although talking of 4G is too early now, but as far as 3G is concerned, in hindsight, it turned out to be a bit of an anti-climax. What did not happen overnight is the explosive proliferation of the mobile internet. I was fortunate to witness this whole cycle play out in both Egypt and Indonesia, not so long ago, in exactly the same fashion. Of course, 3G means better data speed for existing data users but that literally touches only one in 10 mobile users in India today. The IAMAI report pegs mobile data users at 46 mn, while mobile users are over 600 mn. |
Why Smartphones will make a difference in Advertising (Premium) - View Free SampleA recent study conducted by Google and IPSOS indicates that India will soon be a 'mobile first' nation for communication. The challenge of advertising on mobile platforms is the most over-rated concern in the digital advertising domain in India. While presence of brands on digital media has only been increasing every year, along with spends, mobile advertising garners a rather negligible share in the total advertising pie. As per recent industry estimates, mobile advertising constitutes not more than 1% share of the total ad spends in the Rs 266 crores advertising industry. An obvious reason for this is slow adoption of smartphone and mobile internet in India. As per data released in the third quarter of 2011, the smartphone market in India was not growing over a 6% rate. However, a recent study conducted by Google in association with IPSOS continues to rely heavily on the potential of mobile media, which is arguably the only omnipotent multi-media device in India. |
