Definitely interesting. 

Isn't Virgin mobile already an MVNO in India?

Virgin had to form a JV with TTSL to get into India.

Nope. Vigin has clarified to TRAI & then to DoT, that it is not an
MVNO, but just a reseller, doing some individual branding.

Some thoughts around MVNO's viability in India...

Technically, yes :-). "Reseller" was an incorrect word. "Franchaisee"
is the word. Theoretically, even they are Resellers, albeit
value-added and with branding. Go figure ! ;-)  Any word, that makes
TRAI happy, and keeps Virgin (& Tata Communications), out of legal
tangles.

support worldwide patenting.

Message-ID: <6cf16f130805070218q6211de0eu93a21aefddcb5525@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

Can somebody tell me what is the best way to get a short code? Do we
need to tie-up with individual operators, or can we register with a
central body and get a short code?

Also, what are the various pricing options for a short code? Is there
a place I can refer to find out more about the short code services in
India?

Thanks, -k

AFAIK, there are indeed some rack-rates for the short codes, but a huge lot
of negotiation around the pricing.
Many factors play into the final price you get, and this could very well
vary with operator. Factors range from your clout, your existing VAS
market-size / reach, assured volumes, projections, purpose... well, it's a
negotiation, & you need to show value.

Also, in my knowledge, you need to get the level-5 short-codes (5xxxx) from
each of the operators separately. I believe, sometime back there was some
harmonization drive, and some talks of having a kind of centralized
numbering authority for the VAS short-codes as well, but I don't think it
has materialized.

Disclaimer: This is based on some hear-say and research, no first-hand
experience.

Thanks Banibrata. I am hoping somebody in this forum has had first
hand experience. By searching for this, I could find rates for bulk
SMS and keyword based codes ("CAR at 5XXXX"), but I am more interested
in either the level-5 codes, or codes of the form 5XXXXYY which are
sub-leased from a larger player (the type services like SMS GupShup
use).

Thanks, -k

At 7-digits, things are no longer "short", are they... given that typical
local numbers in large cities/metros are 8-digit, and smaller cities and
towns still at 6-7 digits :-)

You could get in touch with Keshava Reddy (he's also on this list), of
MyDuniya. I think they recently got a short-code allocated from AirTel, he
might be able to guide you.

Shortcodes typically are anywhere from 3 digits to 9 digits. Now that India
is gearing up for 11-digit numbers, shortcodes will still be short :)

Are you sure that in India, anybody other than Govt or Operators themself,
can get anything less than a 5-digit short-code ?? I doubt.
Excuse my doubt, but it stems from the not so old directive from TRAI (or
was it from DoT) to all operators, to change 4-digit premium VAS codes to
5-digit (and 1st digit being "5"), whcih is why all folks like 8888 changed
to 58888.
IMHO, shorter "short-codes" are reserved for operators' own use, e.g. "123",
"121" etc.

Well, it's unfortunate that we've to review our telephone numbering plan
every 2-3 years. Given our population and growing teledensity, planners
should've seen the need for 11 digits coming. The cost of the plan change is
huge, much of it unseen.

Talking to a "real human" feels very comforting. Could we have a "fake name"
atleast :-) ... Mr.Centerpoint ?

USSD works, on all GSM mobile that I know of.

  USSD has been around for a while now but strangely have not seen much 
usage ( or atleast publicity about it). Developing for USSD I guess is 
simillar to developing an SMS app, need operator support.

Btw if you are an airtel user try *321# for browing Airtel Live in USSD.

Hi Pradeep:

Generally, the equipment manufacturers (of these test-equipment) have some
rental or short-term lease options. Also there are companies (the large
outsourced prod. dev. companies that have good wireless competency & own
labs) that may allow you to take your wireless-equipment to their labs, for
testing, on commercial terms.

Companies like Telogy or ATCTest, AFAIK do not exist in India. You could
check the websites listed here to see if they have some Indian ops.

Hi All,

Guess it is ok ask for some product feedback on this forum.

http://lytecube.com/demo/lytemobile/lytemobile.htm

Would like your valuable feedback on the product and also the midlet
signing. I, personally, am not a great fan J2ME midlet certification(code
signing or Java certification) process but  interested to know if its
worth the effort?

Thanks,
Mahi.

discourage people who land up on a 
whim at the last minute - the sign  
up is for the organizers to get an idea 
of the numbers.

Subject: [MoMoBangalore] How to start a VoiceSite with Rs 1 lakh
Message-ID: <1eae0f610805192239i5d406a0ei8c4eb575a3662df7@mail.gmail.com>

http://www.mobilepundit.com/2008/05/19/how-to-start-a-voicesite-with-rs-1-lakh/

Three important hurdles have been removed from the growth path of
Voicesites.

Potential market size as of May 2008 is around 275 million.

Open source technology like Asterisk makes it feasible for startups to
launch innovative voice-based services. Therefore, lots of voicesites will
get launched and the consumer will benefit from a choice of services at a
competitive price.

Also, very recently most operators dropped national calling (STD) rates to
Re 1. It means that by taking an E1 line from one telco, the service goes
national. Users will access 02218181818 from anywhere in India and will only
pay Re 1 per minute as call charges.

Good article.

Is it already Re.1/- per min., for STD, from any operator to any operators,
and across Landline and Mobiles ?? Has everyone migrated to this plan ? Are
operators doing auto-migration onto this plan ?

Interesting article.

We were considering such a site back in 2004 for an application
involving speech recognition and text-to-speech. Gave up on it because
billing the users would mean 70% revenue share would go to the
operators. I doubt that has changed now.

Asterisk is not the only option here. Something like Freeswitch might
suit people's needs better.

FYI...

Where to Get the Money

The chart below will show some differences between some of the types of
lenders. *Terms will vary considerably from lender to lender; the summaries
in the chart are only meant to be representative and give you an idea of
what to expect when seeking money from different sources.* Important issues
to consider:

   - Cost
   - Payback program
   - Loan size

Some of the pros and cons of the different lenders are briefly listed below.
There will likely be one common characteristic among them all. As an
entrepreneur, you will be legally obligated to have individual
responsibility for the credit obligation of your business. Regardless of
legal organization lenders will have documentation to circumvent the
organizational structure. This is usually called a personal guarantee. Don't
panic! It is very common.

Type

Cost

Payback Terms

Sizes

For

Against

Personal Savings

No cost

None



Easy, cheap

Risk of Loss

Friends & Family

Usually good rate or none

Very flexible



Flexible, best value

Can create friction

Home Mortgages - Traditional or Seconds

7-9%

8-14% on equity loans

Very long and flexible

80-100% + of home equity value

Cheapest, longest term

Your house is at risk in the event of non-payment

Credit cards

16-23%

40-60 months

3,000-10,000

Easy qualifying, no collateral

Small amounts

Suppliers

Free

30 days +/-



Inexpensive, unsecured

Short term

Landlord

Adds to rent cost

Over term of lease



Preserves cash for assets you can't take with you

Hard to get; assets acquired are usually only good at one location;
difficult to move

Venture capital

25-40%

5-7 years

$500,000+

Can get large amounts

Very hard to get; share ownership

Commercial mortgage

7-9%

25 year payment; all due in 10 years

$300,000+; 75% of appraisal





Specialized lenders (industry expertise, auto, business brokers, high tech,
specialized equipment, computers, phones, etc.)

12-18%

5-7 years

Varies

Accessible through dealer, who is motivated to make sale of equipment or
business; payback terms more favorable than bank

Debt service can be high

Leasing companies

12-18%

5-7 years

Varies

Same as above; also 100% financing



SBA

7-9%

7-20 years

$50,000-1,000,000

Longest payback for other than real estate loan

Can be a complex process

Finance companies

14-30%

1-3 years

$100,000+

An alternative when you don't have many

Expensive; picky about collateral

Banks

6-9%

1-5 years

$50,000+

Generally least expensive

Generally hardest to qualify for

Good one. Liked the part where go on and on about the need to bring VAS providers under the license raj and regulate the revenue sharing. There's mention Mobile VoIP in passing too. :) And WiMAX!
