Good News for Mobile users!  Doesn't this mean every operator will have to opt for per second billing? -------------- SiliconIndia: In a move that could potentially reduce call charges, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is planning to make the one-second pulse a mandatory tariff option for all operators. The move will benefit consumers because it will reduce the 'wastage' per call, which some telecom companies put at about 18 percent, reports PTI. Currently, most telecom companies fix the minimum pulse rate at 60 seconds. "We may ask all operators to consider the per-second pulse as a mandatory tariff option along with their other tariff plans," said TRAI Chairman J.S. Sarma. Analysts say that the change would make tariffs more transparent since consumers will pay only for as many seconds as they use. "On average, consumers do not use 15 to 20 seconds of a call but pay for it because of the one-minute pulse rate. A per-second...

By opting for the free and open software platform (FOSS) for the state-sponsored IT@School project, Kerala's General Education Department has saved Rs.11 crore. The project's Executive Director K. Anvar Sadath said if proprietary software were used in the 11,065 laptops and computers to be supplied in schools, a minimum of Rs.11 crore would have been spent in procurement of software. "This deployment, considered to be the largest ever, will start from tomorrow (Friday) and will include 8,385 computers, 9,607 UPS, 2,680 laptops, 1,871 multimedia projectors, 2,222 laser printers, 1,076 dot matrix printers and 1,759 scanners to be made available to schools," said Sadath.

His Is The Team India Needs! These are the days of election fever and every politician is suffering from it. Many have started showing the symptoms of the high fever, you might have observed some ads flooding the web saying “XYZ for PM”. And I feel sad for it, because this thing once again proves that we Indians always try to blindly copy things from west or make something which is somehow an Indian version of an American thing. I strongly think that Indian people feel proud in “Importing Ideals”! Same disease has attacked our leader who is just dying to be PM [sorry to say this but it’s what seems!]. Many politicians in India got impressed with campaign of the Obama for the presidential elections in America . I don’t know are these some politicians are impressed with what he does and what he speaks. I think this leader of ours don’t know India is not a presidential democracy and India doesn’t need only a good PM but a complete perfe...

India has unveiled plans to produce a laptop computer costing just $US10 ($15) to help improve the skills of millions of students across the country. The laptops will be mass-produced as part of a government-sponsored education scheme launched on Tuesday in the southern city of Tirupati.
