[X-Post] Reliance WiMax
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi, Has anybody use the Reliance WiMax (Broadnet) services? I am more interested in their services in Mumbai. Good, Bad, Ugly? Apparently they install separate antenna for each connection. The size of this is as big as a laptop monitor or such, thats what the marketing exec told me. What I want to know is - 1) compatibility with Linux Boxes 2) does it work during the rainy season? Considering that rains in Mumbai or Panvel is slightly on the extreme side ;), does it work fine during the rainy season? I guess the same applies to the DTH setup even. Only reason, I am thinking its worth a try is because I won't have to depend on availabilty of power and such because I will be responsible to provide power to the setup which I can in case of load shedding as well. Thanks in advance. Cheers! Pradeepto -- The KDE Project : http://www.kde.org KDE India : http://in.kde.org Mailing List : http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-india

Thank You, South Africa !!

"The national body of South Africa (SABS), as a P member of JTC 1, hereby submits an appeal against the outcome of the fast track processing of DIS 29500 Office open XML. This is based on the procedures followed before and during the ballot resolution meeting (BRM) held from 25 to 29 February 2008 to discuss the comments submitted on the fast-tracked DIS 29500 and the proposed responses from Ecma." Read the full letter from http://www.noooxml.org/forum/t-61468/south-africa-appeals-against-ooxml-cal… Can we get BIS to back this appeal, considering it has voted no and raised concerns about the process?

I have read the article and saw Dr. Phatak's name spelt correctly in 2 places, only in the last instance did I notice the error. It happens. Have we not all, at one time or another, sent out emails w/o checking for spelling errors? -- Arun Khan

Solutions/problems solvable/brainstorming by OPEN MESH ROUTING (almost free packet routing)
by Erach 28 May '08

28 May '08

Hi, Besides LINUX which is "open computing" there is another possible "open technology routing of packets". OLSR or "open mesh routing". Please see the few emails on the google group "OPEN MOBILE". *** This open mesh routing is a technology in search of a solution ----- like Xerox copiers initially were, nobody knew why Xerox copiers would be useful -------------- so I'm brainstorming all of you to ask: what will you do with free or almost free routing of packets. ******** Initially, I said, everybody in India should have a cheap monthly payment computer which includes services providable by free routing such as ----------- security cameras for everybody in the building, security cameras for everybody in shops, even genuine-ness of currency note verification (the chip would be very small with a very small antenna which would be embedded in each currency note to be read and verified with a central database or by local digital signing), then we had training for everybody as in life-long education and skills training, then local advertisements. ******* Now, in local shops GOOGLE is sending out teams of people with CARDS to sign in to their web-site and provide information (we did get these cards --- there exact usage is to enable shops to sign in and display information). ** Potentially, with ubiquitous routing (similar to Microsoft's ubiquitous computing) every valuable item on this planet can be tagged ---- the inventory taking problem of factories would be solved (no more lost articles in shops or factories or even homes). ** The supply-chain delivery problem, the transportation problem, gets completely resolved.

I think what the OP was trying to ask: How does one get a 24X writer to write @ it's max. speed 24x given that media supports upto 52X write speeds. -- Arun Khan
