  • NDMC-MTNL tie up to provide free Wi-fi & FTTH

    NDMC-MTNL tie up to provide free Wi-fi & FTTH

    NEW DELHI: A fresh attempt is being made by the New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) to provide free Wi-Fi services in Connaught Place and Khan Market with a tie-up with the Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd, after the first attempt lost credibility with complaints of slow or no connectivity.

    The New Delhi Municipal Council Smart City Limited, a public limited company wholly owned by NDMC, has signed a joint venture with Millennium Telecom Limited (MTL) — a subsidiary of MTNL — to develop telecom access networks in NDMC areas to provide FTTH (Fibre to the Home) to the residents.

    Earlier, the NDMC had entered into an agreement in this regard with Tata Teleservices in 2014 to provide the service in inner and outer circles of Connaught Place, one of the significant business and leisure centres in the city.

    Similarly, NDMC had partnered with Tata Docomo to provide the facility in Khan Market. At present, the service can be availed by 5,000 people with an average speed of 512 Kbps. The first 20 minutes within a 24-hour period are entirely free after which scratch cards can be purchased in various denominations in the market.

    But senior officials admit that the service has not functioned smoothly, though it is claimed that it worked well initially..

    The project has also been listed on the civic body’s “Smart City” agenda in the budget for 2016-17 presented last week. It plans to begin the new services in Connaught Place and then proceed to further areas.

    NDMC had in 2015 announced that all the areas under its jurisdiction will soon be a Wi-Fi zone and had joined hands with Indus Towers Limited to replace 18,500 street-light poles in its areas with ‘NextGen digital poles’ which will be fitted with Wi-Fi access points, LED bulbs and CCTV cameras which, it claimed, is first-of-its kind initiative in the world.

    However, the project had a setback when Reliance Jio approached the Delhi High Court challenging the tender process and the NDMC has therefore floated fresh tenders.

  • Young Indians prefer mobile for news & entertainment over TV, radio

    Young Indians prefer mobile for news & entertainment over TV, radio

    KOLKATA: Young Indian consumers do prefer mobile devices over traditional media like television and radio for information, current affairs as well as source of entertainment. Going forward this trend is poised to surge in the coming years, said telecom operator Tata Docomo.

     

    According to mobile service provider Tata Docomo, which recently conducted a research on mobility trends, the Internet represented the preferred mode for both news and entertainment accounting for around 40 per cent and 45 per cent of the space respectively.

     

    This is dominated by mobile access, however, with 33 per cent of millennials (new generation consumers) consulting mobile in the first instance for news (compared to just seven per cent through a fixed connection), and 36 per cent using the same platform to source entertainment and leisure information (just nine per cent for fixed connections).

     

    “This study reveals the declining relevance of traditional information platforms as primary information sources, particularly with respect to entertainment and leisure subjects where nearly a third of respondents turn directly to social media (Facebook, Twitter etc.) in the first instance,” said Tata Docomo digital business head Praveen Gupta.

     

    The study further said the shift towards mobile content is already underway in India.

     

    “Around 63 per cent of millennial mobile users are as comfortable with mobile advertising as they are with TV or online advertising; in fact only 3.1 per cent of Indian millennials consider brands that advertise on TV as being modern, compared to more than twice that number who associate smartphone advertisers with the same quality,” the study said.

We are extremely thrilled to continue this relationship with the Tata’s and hope to achieve more milestones and set the industry benchmark even higher with our deliveries.”
