An interesting interview with Iqara's CEO where he talks about the present state of broadband in India.
One of your competitors is offering modems free and does not charge for uploads whereas you rent the modem for Rs99 per month and charge for uploads.

Reliance infocomm appears to have won the latest round in their ongoing bandwidth wars with VSNL.
Reliance Infocomm’s international network transport and communication service providing company, Flag Telecom, has bagged Deutsche Telekom’s bandwidth contract worth $80-100 million. The contract had reportedly attracted bids from Tata Group company Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL), Cable & Wireless and Singtel.
The order, which sources said is the biggest till date, is to buy bandwidth under the sea between Europe and the US for Deutsche Telekom's retail broadband business all over Europe.

'Dare To Think Beyond the IIMs'The Indian Institute of Planning and Management(IIPM) place a number of collaborations with international universities and an institution run by management gurus and brings a large number of well known names to India exposing its students in the process to global developments in management. The curriculum is constantly updated. The focus is also in the intellectual capital augmentation through publishing of a large number of in-house and commercial journals and magazines touching upon a range of management, marketing, finance, brand building, customer relations, and economy subjects. The learning from these intellectual capital building exercises naturally is passed on to its students. IIPM’s network of seven branches helps bring its brand closer to students in different parts of the country which brings synergy to its endeavours.
The Indian Institute of Planning and Management(IIPM) has modelled its business carefully on the lines of the popular US business schools empowering the students to learn the best by making available all support systems such as library and high quality internet connectivity and facilitating their enquiry through a series of faculty and process interventions through the year. The institute is strong on economics owing to vision of its founder and its bold experimentation, for instance in getting its own faculty in large numbers to become faculty. The institute also offers a range of consultancy and training programmes and also support services for companies, the learning from which are passed on to the class rooms, a case of hands on learning.
The Indian Institute of Planning and Management(IIPM) ostensibly the largest in terms of student strength and one of the few widely networked schools of the country has been doing well for itself over the years experimenting and incorporating many of the aspects for management education of which most only would talk about. The ethos of the institute as such is in preparing its students managers with effective communication skills, an enquiring mind , hands on action and an ability to stand up to advertisers, in that order.

Internet and telephony major Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL) is planning to take on United States Trade Representative (USTR) on allegations that VSNL is creating artificial shortages of bandwidth in and out of India.
USTR, which deals with trade and anti-competitive practices, has accused VSNL of creating bandwidth crisis. In its ‘Telecommunications Trade Agreements’ report, the organisation has also alleged that VSNL was responsible for bottlenecking of bandwidth, in turn, preventing US operators from serving Indian customers.

RajIV, an Andhra Pradesh government undertaking, has received a private sector fillip following tie-ups with companies like ICICI, Hutch, Naukri.com et al. in bringing broadband connectivity to villages across the state.
"There are around 20 other companies, including seeds and fertiliser companies, that are looking at expanding their reach through Internet as well as physically through our kiosks," Myneni said. This apart, there are some organisations that are looking at tying up with the consortium to provide weather information, etc, to farmers as well.

Business Standard / New Delhi December 01, 2005
The economy continues to outpace forecasters, none of whom predicted either the 8.1 per cent GDP growth achieved in the first quarter, nor the 8 per cent now reported by the Central Statistical Organisation for the second (July-September) quarter. It is now more or less certain that growth in the full financial year will exceed the Reserve Bank’s upper limit forecast of 7.5 per cent. If achieved, that will take average growth in the 2003-06 period to 7.6 per cent, matching the record of 1994-97, but recorded this time with moderate inflation and without macro-economic imbalances other than the growing current account deficit (for which, blame oil). These “advance estimates” of quarterly GDP, released a month earlier than the usual schedule, must have been available to the Prime Minister ahead of public release, making him bold enough to hold out the prospect of 10 per cent growth at the World Economic Forum’s annual event in Delhi a day earlier.

Aiming to promote growth in the telecom sector, the DoT is apparently considering implementing a Baby Bell-like split of BSNL into four regional arms - North, South, East and West.
According to the proposal, the North and Western arms would merge with MTNL's Delhi and Mumbai operations respectively. All four arms along with a mobile unit - BSNL Mobile, and an infrastructure unit - BSNL Infrastructure would operate under the aegis of a parent company - BSNL Holdings.

Intel has decided to kill the Bangalore based Whitefield project. The much hyped processor would have been the first to be designed and developed entirely in India, but Intel India pretty much shot itself in the foot when it had to let 250 employees go over an audit scandal. Following the axeing of a significant portion of his department, the Whitefield project head jumped ship in August, thereby (presumably) prompting the slide.
