Slash in port charges = Tariff cuts? Maybe!

No April fool gimmick this time. In a recent amendment, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has lowered port charges by 29% (inter-connectivity charges paid by private operators to connect to staterun BSNL and MTNL). From April 1, the revised port charges will be in the range of Rs.10,500 to Rs.39,000 instead of the current Rs.14,000 to Rs.55,000. TRAI is expecting that the operators will pass on the reduction in the charges to their subscribers in terms of lower national and international call rates. However, as per reports, the levy is too less to pass on for operators, which have recently hit by a slash in the roaming charges they can set.

Weary of dreaming? Now wear it!

If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride – a cliché pertinent to the automotive industry today. Consider this – what if someone asks you what your ‘dream car’ is; yes it’s the one you’re most passionate about that we’re talking of here! So, what would your answer be? The Ferrari Lambhorgini? DaimlerChrysler’s Maybach? BMW’s 7 Series? Or Ford’s Jaguar XJ? Or some four-wheeler that makes an easy hole in your pocket and, at the same time, symbolises how the owner is an individual who has just ‘arrived’ professionally?

Recent survey by a Global marketing fi rm has India ranked India at 134 (among 175 countries) in terms of the ‘ease of doing business’ and at 155 in ‘dealing with licenses’!

Product Portfolio Problems

Take a bird’s eye view today and Nokia’s entire product portfolio lacks the vigour that it once boasted of. And though it still has a variety of handsets for various price points, the problem is that many of them have been around for a long time; and need to just disappear off the racks. If Nokia is hoping for In fact, what will change Nokia’s downhill slide in India is indeed some positive investments in R&D to come up with innovative designs that captures the imagination of the young consumer. But here too they should tread carefully! The recent launch of their supposedly sleeker and sexier E-series was a dismal flop in the Indian market. Guess its time for Nokia now to take a leaf out of the Motorola design booklet and innovate further to sustain their India advantage!
