			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to the new generation of Internet that I am able to share anything I feel worth to my friends and family.  I can suggest, recommend, vote, etc. anything I find of interest.</p>
<p>But my TV is still not allowing me to do so.  I still have to rely on text messages.  Whenever I find anything interesting I have to text my friends and family requesting them to watch the particular programme.</p>
<p>With IPTV we can easily integrate this feature where I can share whatever I feel worth with my friends in real time.  Not only the live TV but the on demand services as well.  For instance, when I like a movie, I can share the same with whomsoever I want.  Ofcourse, the provider must be same.</p>
<p>Similarly for live TV, I can suggest any programme to them after going through the EPG or if there is any breaking news, I can just broadcast the same.  They can get the updates right on their TV, mobile, laptop; wherever they desire; thanks to end-user convergence.</p>
<p>Let me hope somebody soon allows me and my friends to share content on the TV.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We visit so many websites everyday.  To read, to write, to learn, to listen, to watch, to know, to buy, to sell and what not.  We do bookmark, follow RSS, twitter, etc. to go through all of them eachday.  But it is not that managable.  We have to go through so many clicks and it is possible that we might get nothing interesting on a particular day from a website.</p>
<p>I was thinking long time back, that why can&#8217;t we have a single page that is linked to all our pages we visit.  Something sort of a diary, where we can have daily, weekly or monthly views that would have the links to websites that we need to visit on such frequencies.  Now this is not technically that difficult and we can essentially have it in two ways.  One we can convert our desktop to a webpage that can be designed the way we want.  But that could, rather will definitely make our laptops very slow over the passage of time and if by any change we are offline, it will give that odd page over the desktop.</p>
<p>So why not to have it over a website itself.  What if a service comes up where we register our account and request for a specific design as per our needs and have the web desktop available.  With java and php programming it is actually possible to have one such web page as per our own desire.  But yes we will have to bear with the ads that definitely such a service provider will be displaying.</p>
<p>We have i-google services available but that is not flexible enough.  We can have very limited number of applications over our desktop.  So let us see if someone else takes the initiative or may be KRG will like to venture this out soon.  At least we will definitely have some people soon using it, I know that for sure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Public figures including politicians are switching to social networks to keep on posting and tweeting their views and ideas about the ongoing national and local issues.  This is really bringing politicians and leaders close to their people.  For instance, a Member of Parliament in India is at an average representing a couple of millions of people and in no way can reach them all even if he/she goes on rallying daily.  He cannot do that, by the way, has to do other stuff too!</p>
<p>Though politicians across the ages are joining the social networks, but it is common among young and forward looking leaders.  They are tweeting and posting every day; their views, interpretations, ideas and comments.  The goodness is that people, not only can read them but also counter-comment them.  This makes it interactive.  So how a democracy should have been functioning, Internet is enabling it.  This is clearly giving the voters, particularly the youth of India an idea to make a personality based selection of a leader and we could soon be seeing the end of polarization towards parties.  Instead, people will be liking a particular person in the form of their representative.  In case of routine matters, localised leadership is definitely needed, so we cannot expect a person from Delhi selecting a leader from Mumbai, but surely in case of expressing a desire to have a particular person as the Prime Minister or any other functionary.</p>
<p>Some might argue that it isn&#8217;t going to make any difference as the Internet penetration is still too low for it being considered as a mass media in India.  But I argue, it is the beginning, a good beginning.  It is also giving a platform to express to the population of India that has been shying away so far and are now somewhat &#8216;repenting&#8217; of not taking the right steps at the right time.  Had they been actively participating in elections and selections, Indian leadership would have a different kind of group of people at the helm of affairs.</p>
<p>This social network politics might be useful and limited only to some metros or large cities, but even if it makes a difference to around 100 odd MPs of the total strength, its a good beginning.  In urban India, we are facing with complex issues and the major one is competition at work; not allowing people at large to spare some time to attend to politics, which is at the end of the day affecting them a lot.  But with these social networks, they are at least able to track their leaders and interact with them. </p>
<p>So we must encourage leaders to tweet and interact with them.  This will definitely help India grow as a democracy at the level that it should be.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, the parliament of India is noisy again.  There is no big deal about it.  It happens every day it is supposed to work.  But today, technology is making them shout.  With the recent ongoing IPL controversies, outlook, a magazine of repute in India, has come out with a report claiming that the government super intelligence agency NTRO (National Techical Reserach Organisation) has been tapping the phones of some ministers and politicians whenever there is a controversy of national magnitude.</p>
<p>Whether it has happened or is just a false allegation, is yet to be ascertained.  With both sides confident about it occurence and otherwise, it will take sometime to get things clear.  But surely, in this instance, the investigating agency has been lucky to have been asked to track the telephone calls, which is very easy over POTS.</p>
<p>As the developments in communications advance, a person is networked through many ways and the accessibility to them has also improved.  Though we had emails, chatting softwares, etc. earlier as well, but in recent years they are really at our finger tips.  Mobile has made them highly approachable.</p>
<p>We can say, mobile Internet is happening; I mean the high speed mobile Internet and through your mobile you can use a VoIP client, a peer to peer client, social networking service or just an easy email.  Tracking all these media, is not and would not be easy for any intelligence agency.  Definitely not on this part of the earth.  Merely being able to tap the fixed or mobile phone for voice calls won&#8217;t serve the purpose and with services being encrypted the tracking is going to be tougher.  Even if something is achieved, it is going to take a lot of time, marring the investigation.</p>
<p>So what can be done?  Should we stop all these services?  Are we going to block them if we are not going to track them properly, particularly for national interests?  We do mainly attribute security to national interests, but bunglings of high order like that in IPL is definitely a national interest.  So, why should not the government be allowed to resort to all means in tracking the activities that could lead to something.  We all need to think out seriously how with growing multiple ways of communication and their accessibility on the rise, we are able to preserve national interests.  I know what is being made out in the Parliament is mere politics and that is surely not in the national interests.  They are now focussing on the phone tapping as it is directly affecting politicians and are back-fronting the IPL issue as it could be a mud on the faces of some across the parties.  So better play down it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Historically we have paid for either service or content.  In case of television, we have been paying for nothing as the content is advertisement supported and the service was free.  With the passage of time we, consumers, got used to pay for the services as we migrated to cable, DTH and now IPTV.</p>
<p>We as consumers are paying both for content and the service in the present service models.  For the service we pay directly to the service provider by way of fees and for the content we are paying indirectly for advertisements.</p>
<p>I think we are paying at two instances under present models for entertainment.  There is no logic in charging us twice.  After all, whatever is fixed by the service provider for the service includes the share of channel owners and they fix the fee based on the content.  So why are we paying twice for it?  Moreover, we are paying to view for the content and that should not be supported by advertisements.  Take instance of the content available over Internet.  If you are subscribing to free services, they are ad supported and it you go for a paid subscription there are not ads.  Similarly, it should be in case of television now.  If one wants to view the content by paying for it, there should be no pop-up ads.  Under present model we are just being fleeced and all in the value chain are skimming the profits.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Securing our private spaces over e-services we have subscribed to is everybody’s concern.  We use e-services for emails, messengers, calls, watching videos, reading content, doing financial transactions and other several things.  At present, the best we can do to keep them secure is keep on changing the passwords after some regular time period.</p>
<p>We can also mix alpha numeric to create complex passwords and even have more characters for making it a bit tough for hackers and crackers to break into the private area.  But, all this does not make it fool proof.</p>
<p>Biometrics must be used in securing these services.  Whether, we use the finger print recognition or iris matching techniques that could be decided after examining financial implications and the affordability by the end user.  Another factor that would determine this would be which technique would enable more and more users subscribing to this service.</p>
<p>Well there have been some attempts before of integrating Biometrics with eservice (for emails) by Precise Biometrics, this has not scaled up.  The main reason could be very few users were using touch screens or Biometrics enabled devices.  With Windows 7 rolling in to the market in 2010, touch screen will reach new heights in computer world.  After mobiles welcomed touch screen in 2008 and 2009, 2010 would be witnessing fair penetration of touch screen in the PC segment.</p>
<p>For iris recognition enabled e-services, the market is ripe even at this moment, within web cameras integration becoming standard feature for most of the laptops.  But, if we want to have fingerprint based eservices, touch screen will definitely be a driving factor and for that a solution coming from a software vendor like Microsoft can be a major leap.  It could really commoditise the technology.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>IPTV offers need to be crisp and crunchy.  Television is not a service that is something new and IPTV at the end of the day is another method of delivering.  It is not a service like mobile that will sell like hot cakes.  Operators need to really motivate people to subscribe to it.</p>
<p>Apart from the technology advancements (that mainly motivates operators), the end users need to get something interesting from IPTV.  The content cannot be the winner alone.  Television content is owned by different entertainment channels and they will never like to be aligned with a particular IPTV service or services.  Similarly, it cannot happen that some channels will be available over IPTV service only.  As far as service delivery mechanism goes, IPTV is more like DTH services – has similar EPG, features, interactivity, etc.</p>
<p>IPTV service providers have to think of innovative things to make their offer attractive.  One service that came to mind is giving these IPTV channels a local competitive edge.  With so many international channels available over any television network, we have become Hyperopic.  We are well aware of the international issues that affect us indirectly or distantly but remain little aware of the things around, very close to us.</p>
<p>IPTV operators can play a role here that will also give them a differentiation.  A service similar to <a href="http://www.qik.com">Qik</a> (that allows sharing of video from mobiles over Internet) can integrate mobiles and an IPTV service.  By such a service, the subscribers can share videos from mobiles or even their digicams over their IPTV service.  This can be shared over a community channel offered through IPTV.  The channel will share the content from the residents of an area, county or a city.  Further, it could also have an update feed based on the SMS content provided by residents.  That way it will be a news by people for people.</p>

Where you were spending around a dollar on call per minute, IP alternative could either be offering that for free or around a few cents.  Even at this level companies are enjoying handsome margin levels.</p>
<p>IP has really enabled certain technologies that could mean a lot in the times of recession for enterprises as well as the individuals.  The basic one could be a voice call.  From organizations to individuals, everybody will save 70 – 80% on calls. Then there is convergence.  So the operating expenses also go down as organizations are maintaining a single network for all its communication needs – data, voice, video and wireless.</p>
<p>Video conferencing and Webinars could be alternatives for corporate meets, board meetings and training programs.  Thus saving a lot on the travel expenses associated.  In the SME segment, who cannot afford or find it worth to own things and deploy communication infrastructure, could use the VoIP clients like Skype for communicating over the public Internet.  They could save on the inter locations communications cost.</p>
<p>In the enterprise segment, companies could go for hosted solutions, making their fixed costs as variable so paying for only that they use.</p>
<p>Besides, cost cutting and controlling is a common phenomenon during the slowdown and billing solutions for IP based systems are so efficient that they can be easily monitored, managed and controlled.  By this the managers would be able to limit the communications cost within their budgets.</p>
<p>All this would mean more and more usage of IP resulting in the increase in demand for IP communications.  At the same time, companies would not prefer to invest in the infrastructure even if the operational costs would go down.  So the hosted offers will have an edge.  Or else the operators and vendors will have to come together and bundle the service with cyclic payment plans ranging from monthly to maximum possible and feasible plan. The option could be intensive usage of software – softclients on the CPE side where the customers (enterprises) would buy the multiuser licenses for the software rather than buying the equipments and devices.</p>
<p>Definitely, companies would like to cut communication costs but not the communication.  So even those who were reluctant about IP will think of it now and could perhaps be trying it.  This will only result in more deployments.  For the vendors and service providers, the challenge would be designing plans that are based on variable costing as companies would like to see their communications cost in line with the business volumes.</p>
<p>The present recessionary conditions could be the turning point for IP technology.  We could potentially see enterprises looking at alternatives that offer communications coming with cheaper costs and there is nothing better and cheaper than IP.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An ISP offers Internet services.  In reality what is that service.  It lays a wire or wireless network that connects your PC to the web.  So they are the enablers of something that is not provided by them.  Surfers access Internet for the content or services like a VoIP client, IM or an email service.  Of these service providers only VoIP companies charge you for the service.  Rest is mostly free.  You can enjoy billions of pages of content free.  Same is with IMs and email services.  Everything is free.</p>
<p>The real value addition to the Internet is provided by the content developers or the service providers.  Otherwise what ISPs offer is a dumb service.  It is like getting a mobile service that cannot allow you to make calls or text someone.  In the Value chain theory, upon which VAT is also based, each value addition attracts price.  So why not the content generators?  Why cannot Reuters, CNN or Facebook seek their share from the ISPs?  Today, we have some of the mature web traffic analyzers and it will not be a difficult thing to estimate what is accessed most by the users of a particular ISP.</p>
<p>Based on this data, the content generators could seek share from the revenue that ISPs charge to the end users.  This way we could say goodbye to the ad supported model upon which most of the Internet sites are sustaining.  Internet is a heavily ad supported sector and with the companies cutting their costs due to the slowdown – primary being the marketing and advertising costs – the brunt will be faced by the website owners as they will definitely see declining advertisement revenues.  Making the content paid will be a tough thing for surfers to accept.  That could be a real disaster.  This is the kind of mindset users have developed over the years and doing an entirely new experiment with the end users is not feasible.</p>
<p>The other way of increasing revenues for ISPs is getting into the VAS business and the value additions could be of the types that its customers are using.  But being perceived equivalent of any stalwart will not be easy for them. They could perhaps look for strategic partnerships or work on profit sharing models.  ISPs could develop their own email and VoIP services; many of them have it even today.  But the content is owned and generated by third parties.</p>
<p>Without content the dumb www is nothing that ISPs offer and unless they do it, the content and the services available are inaccessible.  So it is a symbiotic relationship that needs to be formalised at earliest and everything needs to be set right.  Otherwise ISPs will feel these websites earning a lot because of them and they are charging few dollars from the users and the content generators will feel that they are the real drivers of Internet and only because of them, Internet is being used.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a content generator or developer is not a big deal.  You can share anything you like in any form.  Be it text, audio or video you can share it with the people over Internet.  The simplest way of sharing could be over a social networking and the more professionals are the websites.  Somewhere, between the two extremes is the blog.</p>
<p>Sharing your own pictures, videos or writing a scrap to someone you know over a social networking site will most probably harm nobody.  The professionally owned websites also know their business very well.  The owners of these websites fully observe the conventions of publishing content.  They know what to publish and what not.  They also know what kind of disclaimers are to be kept for specific types of content.</p>
<p>With the popularity of CMS and blogging platforms, there has been a mushroom growth of bloggers and wiki type websites.  This has revolutionised the usage of Internet and there are billions of words, audio files and video files that have become available to the world population.  Perhaps the dream, that the inventors of Internet had seen of enabling as much information as possible became a reality only through these tools.</p>
<p>There is one more dimension to this great thing happening.  There is no proper forum authenticating the contents of these websites.  Not only for these blogs, we need to have an eye on what websites are saying and doing about.  There are websites of terrorist organisations, rebel groups, anti-national and anti-social amalgams, websites of miscreants, etc.  Besides there are websites spreading hatred among people on the basis of religion, nationality and other such demographic factors.  Then there must be websites spreading sexist literature.  I do not want to provide examples, as it needs some more web search and might annoy fellow website owners.  But there are plenty of these websites available.  Understood, Internet is the easy way of connecting people all over the world and it is the best way of expression.  At the same time, we need to be very cautious with what is available over it.</p>
<p>It is high time that a content authentication or content regulatory body is constituted with presence in each country.  It is not censoring the media, but we need to be responsible.  Let us not spread fire, but spread knowledge and information.  The content authenticating body must have specific guidelines about the subjects allowed over Internet and the authentication mechanism for the content available over a website.  The body must have subject experts who would validate the contents.  Only after the contents are validated, the website would go public.  Each website would be given a logo or some mark certifying that the content is authentic or if we are able to make the Internet secure, no browser or ISP would allow websites without such authentication.  Otherwise we are letting Internet spread whatever comes to mind of anybody and everybody.  Let everybody enjoy the freedom of expression but express responsibly.  Otherwise wrong information could be the source of knowledge for our youngsters. And you all will agree, wrong information is no information.  It is dangerous than uninformed.</p>
