Telecom Tuesday: Reliance feels the DOCMO heat – slashes rates to 50p

Tata DOCOMO / Indicom has been making waves with their innovative schemes off late and other Telecom providers have started to feel the heat, Reliance in particular.

To overcome the hype and flow of subscribers to Tata DOCOMO / Indicom , Reliance has announced a flat rate of 50 paise per minute. The important aspect is that it is a flat rate that comes on GSM as well as CDMA.

Here are the highlights of the plan:

Although currently most of the telecom companies offer a rate of 50 paise per minute, there is always a caveat and mostly for pre-paid customers. For postpaid, you need to have a bigger minimum monthly plan. Hence, No restrictions, no conditions, no exclusions clause is quite significant.

Now comes the interesting part – Why are all the mobile services companies offering these dirt cheap plans, even though the call rates are at rock bottom, infact lowest in the world – yes, partly it is because they all need to gain more subscribers – but there is lot more to it.

The Mobile number portability is coming by the end of the year and all Telecom companies need to be nearly at the same level when it comes to pricing – Otherwise they stand to loose hordes of customers to their cheaper rival – Its going to be a war.

Not only the prices will have to be competitive but even the quality of services. Moving forward, Value added services will also play an important role in acquiring customers.

The biggest benefactor offcourse are going to be consumers – interesting times ahead. Now talk all you want :)

Nokia's idea: a tattoo that vibrates when phone rings

31.12.69

The patent filing also suggests that it would be possible to customize the physical response depending on who is calling - similar to having a unique ring tone for each family member. So if your husband calls you might feel only a dull tingling, but if it's your teenage daughter calling you may feel an itch.

A reporter for Unwired View, who first spotted the unusual patent filing, said it is possible to sync a phone and a tattoo through magnetic waves in a way similar to how phones are synced to Bluetooth.

To make the magnetized tattoo, Nokia's patent filing suggests using ferromagnetic ink, which is ink that includes compounds such as iron or iron oxide.

Before going in the user's skin, the ink is heated to a high temperature to temporarily demagnetize it. After getting the tattoo, the user remagnetizes it by repeatedly running a magnet over the tattooed spot.

In the patent filing, Nokia also proposes a slightly less invasive version of this technology, which would include a magnetic receiver that could be worn on the skin like a sticker and would vibrate when the phone rings.
