Feb-March-05                                             First Annual Issue                                                      Issue-6

SOLUTION OF THE YEAR

Broadband is finally out for common man. AT&T has gone. MCI is in Process. Reliance faces warning from Telecom Bosses. Everyday something new is happening in the Communication world. But the News of the month is our First Annual Issue. 

We predict some more mergers in the coming days but India will remain untouched for few more months. There will be a shift from OSS to BSS in next generation of revolution. In this annual issue we are discussing few upcoming incidences. We have one article on RFID that explains almost everything, which a techno-commercial professional needs to know. 

We have also analyzed Broadband lunch in depth and in coming days you may read few good articles on it. We are closely watching the developments in this core area of telecom. 

We have also tried to find out solution for the “question of the year”. Suggestions are invited for the next “question of the year section”. 

We are extremely thankful to those who contributed in last one year to Tecmac. We expect same kind of cooperation and contribution in next year as well. Let us explore the Techno-Commercial world in better way. Let us “Dream Undreamt”.

Here we are trying to explore the probable answers for the “The Headache Of The Year”. In this year we requested you to think about…… From Stone age to Information age, Human civilization has finished a mega race. At every stage it was raw material i.e. Stone for Stone age, Iron for Iron age, Semiconductor for Electronics age, Information for Information age which changed the Civilization and gave birth to new Industry. A Stone Age person never thought for Iron, an Iron age person never imagined about Electronics and before few years we never expected that Internet may become such a big industry. But we request you to open your third eye and dream for future. What is going to be next material, which will change us and give birth to next industry???

Introduction

One fine day, for your shopping needs you end up at a store dubbed as the future store. You find the supermarket crowded than usual and as you decide to turn back, you see your colleague come out of the store smiling. He tells you that he just had a new and wonderful shopping experience and urges you experience the same.

Now, as you enter the store you are given a smart cart with which stroll the aisles, scan your merchandise with an electronic reader and pick up your requirements. To your amazement you find all the shelves fully stocked. The smart cart generates your bill automatically on a click of a button and the same is charged to your credit card. On your way out you don’t stand in lines or see the personnel at the checkouts. You bag up your goods, and off you go. This is all done in 15 <<CLICK HERE TO READ MORE>>

Do Or Die for Broadband - AN ANALYSIS

BSNL and Bharti have recently launched their Broadband services with new basket of offers. Tariffs are attractive and expected to go down further. On an average it may cost around 500 per month to a person at home for 256Kbps. So we may conclude daily expenses at around Rs 17-18. This is under the budget for all of us. But there are few questions

1-Is it good for the operator?

2-Is it advisable for a subscriber?

3-Is it an attractive offer in true sense or something hidden?

4-Is it true always on Connectivity?

5-Is it really useful for a common user? 

Let us try to find out answers for all such questions.

Operator needs to spend huge amount to provide such services. Tariff and target both are set to recover the expenditure of the cost as per market potential. It is difficult to judge same in present context as Tariffs are expected to go down with greater percentage as compared to depreciation cost.

We should not forget that it was continuously declining cost of Mobile<<CLICK HERE TO READ MORE>>
