...Creating a kid-friendly Internet for Malaysia Five-point-two million child surfers will be riding the Internet’s waves in Malaysia by 2017. A reality of an increasingly digitalized world to be embraced or a critical cause for concern? The learning resources that an Internet connection offers young minds are not to be underestimated, but on the same token, how are kids kept from stumbling into the Web’s darker corners? “Malaysians are actively working out a solution to this. DiGi and our global partner, the Telenor Group, a world leader in telecommunications, are helping Malaysia lead the charge in keeping children safe online,” said Christian Thrane, Chief Strategy and Corporate Affairs Officer, DiGi Telecommunications.http://www.telenor.com/asia/assets/malaysia/story-child2.png From asia telenor 2 Helping moms help their children Far too many babies in Thailand still begin their lives nameless. They are born unregistered, officially unknown to the state. This can turn into a life of lost opportunities, as they miss out on basic rights to nationality, public services, vaccinations and education. UNICEF reports warn that unregistered children are also more vulnerable to human trafficking. The problem sparked a larger, collaborative project between Telenor’s local partner, dtac and UNICEF, the Ministry of Public Health and the Bangkok Children’s Hospital. The idea was to launch the Best Start programme, beginning with the *1515 Mother & Child Info Service, an...

...Trai has never been consistent about how to price & allocate spectrum V RANGANATHAN, Former member, TRAI On January 10, 2008, the DoT sold licences with 2G spectrum at 2001 prices, realising about Rs 10,000 crore, ostensibly on a firstcome-first-served basis, but actually violating even this. There was a feeling that the government lost revenue, fortified by CAG that assigned a dramatic Rs 1.76 lakh crore number to it. Swan got the licence for Rs 1,347 crore, and sold 45% to Etisalat for Rs 4,200 crore, valuing the firm at around Rs 10,000 crore. These raised suspicions about corruption. But there have been parallels. The UK government, when it sold 2G waves through 'beauty contests' or bureaucratic allotments based on subjective criteria, realised only £44,000, whereas its 3G auctions in 2001 realised a staggering £22.3 billion. But UK's polity did not bicker with the advantage of hindsight. It was considered as part of evolution. In India too, 3G auctions were conducted, netting Rs 1 lakh crore for the government and there has been no controversy over that. When Centaur hotel was sold in auction by Arun Shourie, the buyer resold it subsequently at a huge profit. Therefore, just the fact that there was no auction or that it got resold at a higher price may not be due to corruption, but inefficiency. To make a mistake is not criminal. Otherwise the executive can't function. However, actions with the mala fide intention of gaining pecuniary advantage...

...CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION The ultimate aim of every organization is to sell the products, which the company manufactures and to make profit. A successful product or service means nothing unless the benefit of such a service can be communicated clearly to the target market. Today’s world is full of competition.

...What will be your new market strategy in India? How do you plan to position Uninor? I want Uninor to be the best in three things. First, distribution, since a direct contact with the customer is crucial. In other Asian markets where we operate, Telenor is best-positioned on distribution and we want to replicate that in India too. Second, we want to be the best on basic services like voice and 2G data services. That is why we are not concentrating on value-added services and post-paid services. Third, we want to be the lowest on costs. We are small and we need to compensate for some of the scaled advantages enjoyed by our rivals, but we have an advantage because we don't have legacy issues. Has the dynamic pricing model been successful in the circles you are present? Has it increased calling? The plan is a little bit complicated to communicate. So it takes a little bit of time for the users to understand it. But now the concept has started to pick up. The plan does two things: it drives users to the Uninor network and it also enables us to utilise our network optimally. It's also a way for us to control our costs. But, it is still early days to measure the success. What next from Uninor's camp on the pricing front? There are several things lined up. Right now we are trying to hold the dynamic pricing position. We will soon come out with other pricing and segmentation solutions. The focus will be on generating usage, based on cost. There is price sensitivity in the market...
