[Archive Blog (02/09/15)] Digital India without Internet ?

Days after Days we’re going far away from proper Internet connectivity and costly plans will corner us one day from Internet. Don’t know how many blogs I will able to write in near future but that for sure rather then spending on Internet one day I have to take a virtual world retirement.

2 days ago 2 big duos Airtel and Idea increased the prices in 3G postpaid plans, its now increased by Rs. 50 and new package price is Rs. 300 for 1 GB earlier it was Rs. 250 for 1 GB. If we get proper speed and connectivity then we can able to consume it maximum in 2 hours so for ex. if I count 12 hours per day then 300 x 12 = Rs. 3600 means for Fresher their 1/3rd salary will goes to buy 1 day’s 3G need.

If some expert say then goes towards Broadband then don’t think it’s a easiest way to become internet friendly because first you needs to pay a big signing amount (Deposit) then also its not a guarantee you will get a good economical plan anyway if not then FUP (Fair Usage Policy) will become a villian and throttle your speed like you’re using Internet for free.

Big telecos was advocating Net Neutrality and tries to prove that this will help everyone to reach towards internet or basic internet will be free. But why these companies can’t realize that we’re using basic internet only on their assigned plans and we’re not gaining anything extraordinary by subscribing it.

Many Foreign based report comes that we need some rest from internet, too much internet or addiction will make us sick but don’t worry genius our Telecos are already helping us since many years we’re buying data packs of 28 days for the month of 30 and 31 days means off for 2 – 3 days in a month.

I won’t be surprise if Telecos will bring blackout day in Data packs too in near future, means Saturday or most probably Sunday will be out from data validity because weekends are the most busy day regarding Internet is a concern so let create a new rule to generate revenue and also hide from the infrastructure failure because weekend is the most we face trouble in the connectivity.

But if Telecos gonna restrict something then Internet giants will bring something innovatory and when those become popular then Telecos will goes to Govt. Agencies. Telecos restricted SMS packs in the festival days as they want revenues from it and defined it as “Blackout Day” so that no SMS pack will work. People moved towards Messenger apps then also Telecos having problem, Why so ? we need Data packs to use it then how people having advantage ?

TRAI restricted SMS count upto 100 per day to counterpart Telly Marketing and other Spam related messages but restricting SMS are really benefiting us ? No not at all infact they’re now active in other Messenger apps busy selling their product there and by restricting Messengers also will not help.

Biggest reasons Telecos are giving is infrastructure cost means before infrastructure was available for free when we used to get cheap data packs during UPA days ? Or Telecos took a loan to buy them ? I agrees that spectrum cost reached towards the sky then what was before but they already had infrastructure then what’s the problem to pay license fee ?

Currently Digital India campaign looks good in TV and Print Media but not in reality because of not having affordable internet, we having Android Phones but no pack can help us to install apps from play store and even update those. Then for what we’re cheering for Digital India ? Whatever low level internet we having it is costlier then before and buffers a lot even 3G sometimes so we’re not buffer free tats a reason 1 DTH launched a service by the claim of “Movies without Buffering”, that DTH itself behind from other competative DTH regarding Hardware wise mocking Telecos !!!

Currently DTH looks to me is more affordable then Internet that’s why I can see lot many DTH in slums because at Rs. 250 you will get 30 days pure entertainment and 3G at Rs. 300 that for 28 days and only 1 GB. Means TV industry having more growth then Internet.

When you see towards NDA Govt. you will found almost all Ministers or Departments are present in social network and they’re quite active there too. Infact PM Narendra Modi is present in almost all platform, he not even having account in SoundCloud but also having his own customized App. So Govt. is quite active and moving towards Digital but why can’t they protect the Interest of the people ? If we can’t have affordable platform then how we come online and move towards the path of Digital India ? Restricting Internet and killing the affordability factory will push us back then forward.

[Analysis] What can we learn from Bihar Election 2015 ?

Last Sunday was super Sunday as a view point of people who follows Politics or learns Politics. Bihar Election start concluding successfully altough in Multiple phases but atleast concluding there was a time when it was never be possible too because of attack in polling booth and in other word "Booth Loot". That picture is now over and Bihar atleast have a mind to choose its leader. Bihar Election 2015 concluded in 5 phases and the intensity, animosity was quite high during those phase. Every day there was a story of personal and controversial comments for various reasons which we should avoid of if our aim to win the election in more constructive way rather then a destructive matter. This election teaches us many thing which if parties start focusing off then future elections will become the most idol and if we start implementing those in our life then no one can stop us to succeed.

One of the most nasty things about elections are if politicians start making personal and irrelevant comment rather then talking to the point. In Bihar Election both Nitish Kumar and Narendra Modi was having everything to loose hence the atmosphere become too hot but things become worst when peoples crossed all lines. In civilized society there is no place of trash and we should understand this, when we go outside to picture Country then don't forget that we're contradicting ourself being something in the Country and being something else outside. In a small group of few everyone is evil and until and unless its not stung you will have a face of idol. So remain idol why wants to bring the evil outside ? We can won any war by remain calm and compose.

Trying to understand people/opponents are the biggest plus to crack any deal. When you over do on your strategy then really it will cost you hard. 1st planning will be to understand the environment of challenges and what are the challenges to fulfill without knowing the battleground you can't just quite make it. Whether you're fighting election or looking to crack the interview until and unless you don't know about the ground reality then how you will be chosen for the job ? Expectations are high and you needs to fulfill the promises you do since day 1. People will choose you only when they feel that you can do it or you already have faces the challenges before hence you're the right person to make out for.

Show Off is the thing we needs to avoid from everywhere no matter whatsoever. It will work 10 out of 2 time only and it is one of the most unsafest things to do in our life. You can't just show off even gaining unnecessary sympathy is a part of show off and thats the most negative way to proceed rather then any good. When you become something then that will be your identity rather then whats your past was, if you're motivating someone from your past experience then it is quite great, where you was and what you become will motivate many for sure but using it as a tool won't work. Always stepping up with your current identity - what you're is you're either it works for you or not. 

Always compete in your competitors level don't go far from them otherwise you may be considered as from other society. In Bihar Election many helicopters fly but voters want leader from his own who can walk with them or atleast spend time with them not flyer. Our foot always be in the ground and not in the sky because there will be a great risk to fall from a sky rather then in a ground. When you walk into the ground then you able to understand about the ground reality which helps you to gain a knowledge regarding surroundings and society. For flyers everything will be small and volatile but close lookouts are the only way to make out a actual picture of our near world.

Confidence and Overconfidence are two opposite word, if you're confident then success is yours, if you're overconfidence then success can't be yours. Overconfidence makes you Arrogant by nature and pull you back from where you came, in Election NDA was overconfidence not able to click and read the mind of voter hence they did whatever they thought was right which gone against them and blew the success from them. Confidence always bring satisfaction, Overconfidence helps you to ignore the consequences for sometime. In life either you will succeed or fail its better to be ready for both. Honest work always give you a chance to cheer for something but remain ignorant and keeps on self boasting will only bring the negativity in the town and nothing else.

We all know in between 2, 1 win and 2nd looses. Surely some error made by Defeated one hence saw loss but 1 thing always to be remember that same mistake should be avoided in near future. There are many challenges we face and we always needs to be ready for it with improvement on previous errors.We can't expect success all the time but can expect it at a right time.

[BLOG] Digital India in the cost of Net Neutrality ?

Digital India Flag

Digital India is a great concept and first step taken after Mr. Narendra Modi's visited on FB, Google Headquarters at Silicon Valley last month. Everyone changed their DP in Facebook to show their support and excitement of quite a innovative model of its own type, bringing Internet in every household is not only tough but also a rigorous job. Without Internet / Information Technology, Digital India concept is pond without water. People needs to have a basic communication platform so that they can learn and understand the future technology and a vision of tomorrow.

Today at this era still more then 40% to 50% people not having basic internet means they may use internet but not as daily basis. Smart phones in the Country deploying in a rapid pace even basic phones now having capability to open Google although how much time it will take no one knows but atleast option is there. Today we're having digital platform more then physicals. People start taking interest on E Books then actual books, good for nature also atleast 1 or 2 Tree will be save and papers can be utilized on some other important work. Overall we're getting great materials in digital platform more then we ever think about in physical platforms.

Digital Platforms having disadvantages and Advantages both, at 1 end we're getting dumb from real world but at other hand getting smarter on digital platforms who knows may be tomorrow our main earning source will be from internet only. It is always beneficial to follow up the path of new gen which would prepare us as Future ready, time won't stop for any one but we have to jump up with the time hence carries a advance knowledge make some sense. And this can't be possible without digital platforms many may still didn't accepted this concept to gain but they also knows the importance of it.

Digital Platform is a 1 stop place of sharing and gaining, very easily and snugly you founds the views and reviews from the sharer. Basically we're using the shared resources to gain and others are benefiting from it, this exchange of communication made the Digital World quite big and vast and to be honest Future is also depends on it. We can't imagine our tomorrow without it because we can resolve any problem of our life via Digital Media. You wants to study, wants to share, need Bride, Groom, need - rent room - house, bike etc.. anything and everything is possible because Digital World is a kind of World which is expanding and not synchronizing. 

But now Governing people who can't stop the growth but want controlling in this part of World. A gin of "Net Neutrality" came from nowhere, every enterprise who're selling Internet wants to earn with it because as per them their income goes down too. After launching OTT apps people stop calling, smsing, MMS is just now a history like Telegram as OTT is more advance then 5 to 10 second clip sender. Today Telecom companies eyes are to strike on main source of their earning and that is internet. After seeing the growth of sell in Internet packs and peoples increased demand to buy Smart Phones gave the opportunists some chance to become green. In recent past Telecom increased the prices of Internet by 100%.

Telecos creating their own packs and platforms so does Internet giants and partnering with them means we have to follows up the same platform they're offering. Internet is very vast and open source anyone who wants to follow the funda of given and take will go through its own and expand the Digital World he don't want a interference of Telecos and Govt. to put a walls on it. As I said Digital India is great concept and free internet will make sure a positive response. But only if the entire concept have positive instance rather then a hidden agenda from or for service provider and IT Giants.

According to the expert Limited and Free Internet is better then costly packs but why costly packs can't come down rather then giving it for free ? Why prices can't come down of Interent offerig rather then a hike ? Having a Data pack which can be used for everything is better then bundled free pack ? If someone is not interested with Facebook and if twitter is paid to his telecom or if someone who use twitter and don't have Facebook in that case he have to either change his/her service provider or let the Free Bundled pack dry without using it. Surely here competition will not be fair but comprise will be the only way to move. 

Every Operating System bundled up with certain Apps but that doesn't means that they will block the other developers, history witnessed that such interdiction caused the brand badly then any good. Competition arise in a fair place not in a Azoic spot. Here if Govt. came up with their own platform no matter its a scrimp one but atleast will be consider as fair rather then having platform of Million Dollar which took a signup of only paid space. As per me low cost internet is better option to go with then any freeware because of 1 limitation and that is participation of less peoples who're offering their separate small world in the universe of Digital.
