| OnMobile To Enhance CRBT Potential Posted: 02 Jun 2010 11:45 PM PDT 
In fact, OnMobile, India's leading VAS player, witnessed over 250 million song downloads from its RBT platform in 2009, a 55 per cent increase year-on-year.This is indicative of the tremendous potential of RBT in generating revenue for operators, in the face of falling ARPUs and the need to increase consumer stickiness. Additionally, there is still a lot of potential for innovation in this particular segment.Taking this proposition in mind On Mobile wants to leverage the social networking with RBT thus combining both the platforms generally opted by users to express themselves, ring back tones can be integrated with social networking, allowing users to not just share musical preferences but also update their closest circle on their moods and thoughts. OnMobile's "Social RBT" addresses this requirement. ·Vital Analytics predicts that mobile VAS in India will be a USD 1 billion industry in 2010 ·RBT comprises over 30% of the VAS market in India ·The future of ring back tones in India lies in innovative variations of the service such as Social RBT and Reverse RBT ·OnMobile is the largest RBT provider, catering to several operators in India and globally. Till date, OnMobile's RBT is present across six countries, 12 deployments and 53 languages. ·OnMobile facilitated over 250 million song downloads through our Ring Back Tones platform in 2009, a 55% YoY increase over the previous year ·OnMobile handles 34 million Music Search Requests from 6.3 million unique users every month Additionally, research indicates that approximately 23% of all callers don't set RBT since they don't want to pay for something they don't hear. To address this, OnMobile has created Reverse RBT, by which users can listen to tones of their choice while waiting for their call to be answered. These are just two examples of the rapid pace of innovation in the RBT market. In next insight "Telecom Talk" will be interacting with Mr.Sanjay Uppal, President and COO, OnMobile, on the importance of RBT in the VAS industry. Sanjay will also explain the innovations that are in store for mobile users in 2010, as well as the technology that is driving them. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Uninor Messed Up With Address Proof Documents On Their Website Posted: 02 Jun 2010 01:29 PM PDT 
Here’s the lag and this message goes specially to the Uninor guys. Guys if you are checking this out do correct out the mistake as soon as possible. In the website uninor.com a customer in order to get a new connection can follow the simple steps to get a new uninor SIM card. http://www.uninor.in/GetUninor/Pages/Instructions.aspx – this link helps one to get all the necessary details regarding the verification process of the customer. The 3 steps defined in the website : 1. Getting Started 2. Verification 3. Submission In step 2 there a hitch in the line – In case your ID proof does not have your address on it, you’ll need any one of these as your proof of address:Telephone bill (MTNL / BSNL / Vodafone bill – issued in the last two months).
Its a strict order from TRAI that except MTNL/BSNL no other bills can be deemed as an address proof. Guess Uninor guys overlooked this but customers be aware that no private operator’s bill can be proved as an address proof document in any case. I have personally checked the TRAI document which clearly states that only landline bills can be accepted as address proof. Be advised!! TRAI POI and POA doc for reference Click here FYI- Seems Uninor had an impact from this post of ours and now Uninor has correctly abridged its Address proof page. "TelecomTalk will continue to be the most authentic source for everything that’s right and wrong in Indian telecom"

Uninor the latest entrant in the Indian Telecom space which launched their service yesterday in 5 telecom circles namely Kolkata, West Bengal, Gujarat, Mumbai and Maharashtra & Goa seems that in course of quick launch they actually overlooked something very important that might create confusion getting new customers.
