Airtel Mobile Loosing its touch

For some time now, airtel has been the top notch player in the mobile phone industry in India. But god knows what the hell, airtel too is loosing touch. Every one else sucks, and though I use vodafone just for the name of it, I am not really happy with it.

What will happen if all mobile companies keep their networks busy and stop providing decent services to the people around? Who would serve the country with a billion people and a trillion mobile phone connections? Maybe there would be a new player who would be soon coming in to take over all these service providers and become a monopoly.

Addiction to mobile phone has affected almost everyone in the world, particularly Indians, and no drug rehabilitation center will be able to help them out, as even in a drug rehab you find people talking on mobile phones.

Web 2.0 Service Reviews

There are lots and lots of Web 2.0 services budding these days, and they are all going thru their own promotional strategies, and at times we dont get any alerts of these new services, and if we miss out that is something useful for us, we are the loosers.

That made me look around for blogs that I can put up on my rss reader where I could get updates, and I found a co blogger, who writes a cool looking review site, and apart from just web 2.0, the site also reviews financial services, travel services, real estate, shops, and offers a good range of toolboxes.

If you got anything at all on your feed reader, you should have this site in there. and it would do you good.

And my feed hunt still continues.

Space Age Outsourcing

ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organization, is launching its most trusted PSLV, or the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle tomorrow, with, a satellite? No, not A satellite, but 10 satellites tomorrow.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle can handle upto 1000 Kgs of Payload, and the main satellite that its carrying is about 750 Kilograms, and a micro satellite is about 63 kgs, and another 8 nano satellites developed by various universities in Europe to be put into orbit.

The PSLV is a slim vehicle, doesnt have the booster rockets that you see at the launch of Discovery. And putting all these satellites into orbitis just 10 minutes work for the people at ISRO, a senior guy has said.

This is the very first time in the history of any space agency to launch 10 satellites in 1 vehicle on the same day, at the same time. No one has done that before. And no one has had the requirement to do this before.

Everyone is outsourcing everything to India. Even satellite launches. India offers the cheapest satellite launch in the world. Not even Russia can offer such cheap costs. Russia puts man in space, but if India starts doing that, Russia will start loosing market in that too.

What else would India start outsourcing? Money Minting? No, no government would trust Indian Printers with that.
