Mobile Number Portability (MNP), which allows users to retain their number even if they switch operators, will be introduced in two phases, the telecoms regulator said, first in the metro cities and the so-called Category A telecom zones and in other areas by March 20.

MNP helps in "increasing competition between the service providers and acts as a catalyst for the service providers to improve their quality of service," the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said on its website.

The regulator also notified certain charges associated with MNP and said switching charges for users must not exceed Rs 19. However, operators are free to levy any amount less than or equal to this charge.

Service tax exemption on property sales in Bangalore - Bangalorelive.in

2009-11-19T17:54:00.000-08:00

The real estate industry has some more news to cheer, as the Central Board of Excise and Customs has issued a circular stating that developers do not have to take up registration or pay service tax on property sales.

The clarification is a step in the right direction, said real estate developers. With banks making interest rates more attractive, construction costs coming down with the prices of steel and cement, and prices also becoming attractive, the timing of this circular is just perfect, they said.

“This decision would definitely benefit purchasers, as they were liable to pay 12.5 per cent tax on 33 per cent of the construction cost, which actually translates to 4.1 per cent of the cost of construction,” said A. Balakrishna Hegde, Former President of Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India CREDAI, Karnataka.

No more fraud auto fares: Silicon India Article

2009-11-12T21:23:00.000-08:00

Bangalore: In a city like Bangalore several commuters depend on the autorickshaws to travel from one place to another, but not always do they get to pay the correct fare as sometimes they are demanded extra money by the drivers. Now with a technology developed by four former Infosys engineers - Sudarshan H.S., Pavaman Athani, Sairam Rajamani and Rahul R.S., a commuter can verify the fares demanded by the drivers with an automatic SMS telling what they should be paying for the distance travelled.

Using this service called 'Latlong' people can text message the area from which they start their journey with their destination, to receive an instant message on the fare they must pay, reports Deccan Chronicle.

5 Things About Making Money on the Internet - Work from Home

2009-06-24T05:57:00.000-07:00

http://www.webcareergirl.com/making-money-on-the-internet.html

1) Don’t Jump the Gun – The hardest thing about trying to earn money online is waiting for the results. We all want instant gratification these days, and it can be easy to get ahead of ourselves.

When making a website we might not spend enough time to do the proper research – instead we dive in head first, buying domains and hosting and reeling out articles. This can be fine; it can be exciting! But it takes time to realise what is a good idea and what isn’t. Jumping the gun only wastes our time and deprives us of possible earnings.

2) Be Patient – This is similar to the above point, but it deserves a point all of its own. I have come to realise that making money on the internet is about being patient. Thousands try, and thousands fail.

What makes the difference between a failure and a success is hard work and perseverance.

3) One Step At A Time – There is a wealth of information out there when it comes to building websites, blogs, writing for the web, article marketing, SEO, affiliate marketing and so on. There are so many ways to make money off your website, and so many ways to bring in more visitors. But try to complete them all and you’ll get overwhelmed.

Perhaps you feel you’re missing out if you don’t get them all set up right away. What I’ve come to realise is that you will only really be missing out if you don’t take the time to use each method to its full potential before trying to learn something new!

4) Save Money – Another problem when it comes to online business is the temptation to buy every product going. Every piece of software that can help you write articles, every information eBook on how to become a success, every course that teaches you the secrets of getting rich.

Here’s one secret for free: spend all your money and you won’t get rich! Instead, learn things one and a time and only use your profits to buy more.

5) Use Your Own Judgement – It’s all very well to follow successful online entrepreneurs step by step, but at the end of the day some things rely on your own judgement. I always look for an answer, but sometimes I look for that answer from my own intuition.

This is a skill that’s gradually learnt over time, with each step you take up that ladder towards online success.

These are all things I have come to learn from my months of making money online, both through writing for clients and through building my own blogs. I’m still learning, but at least now I’ve got some basic principles to stick to

Need labour in Bangalore??

2009-06-24T05:43:00.000-07:00

How it works

LabourNet is set up as an information exchange that provides access to information about jobs and labour in a transparent manner to construction workers and clients, respectively. To this end, it has a coordination/call centre where construction workers of all trades are registered into a database and are accessible on-call to builders, contractors, architects and individual customers for projects in Bangalore urban. The database of the workers is managed through a web-based portal, which is used to match the skill sets of workers with the client's request.

Through the comprehensive database, LabourNet facilitates access to basic accident and health insurance coverage to registered workers, which is considered to be imperative in the context of the highly hazardous nature of the construction industry. For more information and to learn how you can support this effort, click here.

Through the information exchange, LabourNet has also introduced systems of training and has initiated assessment mechanisms to grade workers in the LabourNet network. At present, the training program provides basic business skills to Labour Coordinators (LCs)* on how to do quotations, manage funds, and understand contracts and agreements, as well as safety and first aid.

Digital SLR camera features that differ from compact cameras

2009-06-19T21:28:00.000-07:00

Digital SLRs can take more diverse pictures

Compact cameras are designed for maximum portability so they are made to be small and light. In the case of digital SLRs, the priority is on shooting. To make it fast, easy, and flexible to shoot a wide variety of subjects. The digital SLR can use various lenses to take wide-angle, telephoto, or close-up shots. And through the viewfinder, you can see what the lens sees and the exact scene that will be recorded.

Test Drive i10 versus Ritz - Comparison results

2009-05-22T00:14:00.000-07:00

Just now I had the chance to test drive both Ritz and i10.

RITZ

I10

PLEASE SEE MY COMMENTS BELOW:

1. Boot Space:

I would definitely go for i10. i10 has got much better boot space compared to Ritz
in the back side. In Ritz, back seat comfort is lesser, compared to i10.

2. Driving comfort:

Better in Ritz, I guess, which might be due to the bigger wheels. (Same size as that of swift)

Pick up is good in both. But Ritz has got better response for the Acceleration.

3. Interior:

Beige color interior for I10 gives a royal Look.

RITZ interior is Black in color like all Maruti Cars:

Dual tone color(blue+black) available only in higher end version of Rtiz, still not as good as i10 interior.

4. Price:

Ritz is overpriced I would say, when compared to i10. You get the same features in i10 (Kappa engine) at a starting price of 4.65 lacs whereas in Ritz it costs minimum 5 lacs.

5. Few other comparable Features:

Ritz LXI does not offer power windows even with a price of 4.8 lacs whereas Hyundai Era (very basic model with 4.3 lacs) has got front power windows.

6. Looks:

I liked the front side of Ritz very much but the back side I did not.
Ritz the overall body shape, from the side, is also awkward (in my opinion).

So if I rate totally. I would still like the old i10. Ritz is yet to be proved to
be compared to the international quality of Hyundai i10. Dont think I have written in favor of Hyundai for any reason. My parents and me had been a regular Maruti customers only. We have bought 3 maruti cars since 1998. But now, I seriously feel the difference with the Hyundai standards. I would definitely go for i10.

But I dont wish to avoid Ritz fully. I would say, Ritz is the only car which Maruti has which could compete to any international standards in the same segment.
