Summary.
Introduction: Universal money management using phone, a path
breaking state of the art idea to enable all sorts of day to day money
transactions through phones is envisaged as a service that is handle by
supporting their Micro Finance needs across the country.supporting their Micro Finance needs across the country.
Money through Mobile (mTm), is just an acronym used herein that
explains in short, the idea, features, products, services, the technology
involved, the business aspects, benefits and advantages it can provide to
society as a whole with a vision that in nearest future converged Mobile
and Fixed devices will become simple tools that would provide comfort
and improved life style for everyone; young and old, from ultra-rich to the
extreme poor in the country.
1. Money through Mobile (mTm) is different from Mobile Banking.1. Money through Mobile (mTm) is different from Mobile Banking.
Money through Mobile (mTm) system as proposed herein is not to be
confused with mobility in Banking service or service of e-banking using
Mobile phones on various means of transport as being currently provided
and Banking industry. All transactions in MTM service, involving Banks,
Post Offices and other financial institutions will be in the same position
and functional level, using same technology, product and features, at parand functional level, using same technology, product and features, at par
with that available to all mTm users and mTm service providers.
2. Virtual money is better handled by Virtual banking system.
Most banks, both Public and Private have its limitations to take care of
the needs of the huge un-banked population in the lower social and

3. 3
economic strata. Naturally, huge volume of low value accounts eventually
would lead most banks to collapse due to severe HR constraints and
gross customer dissatisfaction for no fault of the banks.
It is therefore, the system as proposed herein can be termed and treated
as an autonomous "Virtual BANK" exclusively set up to handle all sorts
of Money Management Using Phones across the networks all over theof Money Management Using Phones across the networks all over the
country with minimum human interface. Call it a 'MTM Bank' or
whatever.
In fact MTM technology system that handle all sorts of money
transactions using phones by itself can function as an exclusive virtual
bank incorporated with required supporting banking mechanism in it to
handle its clients' needs transparently without much human intervention
at its day to day operation level.
3. Universal nature Exclusively Banked Money through Mobile
(mTm) system.
The system proposed in essence is universal in nature as it can provide
service across disparate Telecom systems, both Mobile as well as Land
line, currently serviced by various Telecom service providers and also for
those who not own a phone, across the country without involvement of
any Bank or INTERNET.
Accordingly, the proposal herein has taken into consideration of the
constraints and limitations due to absence of conducive eco-system such
as non-availability of regular power supply and non-reach of telecom
network in rural and remote areas.
3.1. Money through Mobile (mTm) will not disrupt Banking Industry.
There is this biggest myth that exclusively banked Pay-by-Phone systems
and services will be disruptive to Banking industry. From the foregoing it
can be seen that the fact is actually other way around.

4. 4
4. No need to wait for full digitisation all over the country.
There is nothing known as 'perfect' in planning. Technology is changing
too fast. Wait for perfect solutions and nothing happens. People in the
lower economic and social strata are available everywhere; currently
urban, sub-urban, towns and most village areas and as time goes the all-
round eco-system also will improve making remote areas to become
better connected villages, villages to towns and so on.better connected villages, villages to towns and so on.
Therefore, it is pragmatic to use contemporary Technology, systems,
transport, products and services always with an eye on the future and
get going rolling out projects beginning form places where the minimum
needed eco system is readily available and then expand to other areas
without waiting for digitization happen across entire country.
Plans of much needed Financial Inclusion of people in the lower social
and economic strata shall be taken up where minimum required
infrastructure, power supply and telecom facilities are readily available,
and then move towards remote areas as the needed eco system and the
environment are made ready. Till such time, these areas could also to be
covered with improvised systems with short term solutions and products
as explained below.
5. Use Satellite clinks for connectivity of mTm systems in remote
areas.
In in remote places where there is no telecom facility mTm services can
be provided with mTm Franchisee outlets using mTm Set top boxes or
specially designed and programmed TABLETS with connectivity to mTm
system through Satellite links. For those who have no phones, service
can be provided through public call phone systems in Post offices,
Panchayat and village offices etc.
6. With Aadhaar in place, DBT using mTm will be the biggest game
changer: mTm can enable Direct Benefit Transfer of payments under
various Government's various welfare schemes without middle way
systems and agencies.

5. 5
With Aadhaar linked with mTm system, it is possible to provide mTm
service and DBT to mTm account of people who do not own a phone
through mTm Franchisees, Public call phones provided in Post offices,
Panchayat offices etc.
Direct Benefit Transfer DBT can help to scrap or replace in a phased
manner most of the subsidies which will be a big step towards reviving
However, mTm Service can be provided without waiting for Aadhaar.
Making Aadhaar a pre-requisite for ensuring 'Financial Inclusion of poor'
will be like putting the cart before the horse. It is impractical and
meaningless to wait for years to become Aadhaar made available to
everyone to commence the service. Aadhaar is after all an Unique
Universal ID that can be provided from a reserved numbering pool at the
implementation stage and later upgraded as a biometric tool instead of
waiting years to ensure Aadhaar given to all beneficiaries across the
country as a pre-condition to implement Direct Benefit transfer DBT &
Direct Cash Transfer of benefits, MNREGA payments and payment in lieu
of subsidies to beneficiaries.
7. Money Management using phone has great potential to infuse
liquidity.
mTm can boost nation's economy. It is time Government / RBI take
necessary steps to mobilize, regulate and tap this great potential to revive
Indian economy. India will have a billion phones (Mobile plus Landlines)
soon. With an average of Rs.10,000/-month the virtual money
transaction will be about Rs.120 Trillion which is about seven times of
the current Union budgetary provision.
8. mTm has potential of large employment generation.
What need to be done is to create a virtual bank to handle all forms of
money management using phones to regulate, mobilize and exploit its
great potential for the benefit of the people.

6. 6
There are about 650,000 villages in the country. Considering that mTm
service would be able to provide jobs for an average of 20 persons in
every village as mTm Franchisee and mTm authorised agents, it can
generate 1.3 Crores jobs instantly across the country.
There are 150,000 Post offices of which 89% are in rural areas.
Department of posts can be given banking license and setting up ofDepartment of posts can be given banking license and setting up of
exclusive virtual mTm bank with BSNL. The huge surplus human
resource in Department of Telecom, Department of Posts, BSNL/MTNL
could be used as mTm franchisees, authorised agents, Technical support
its O&M and logistics of MTM system across the country that can save
also help BSNL from liquidation.
9. All forms of Money Management using phones must be regulated.
Setting up of disparate Money management systems, product and
services by various parties without any regulatory arrangement will not
deliver desirable results especially for financial inclusion and
empowerment of people in the lower strata across the country.
Over and above, the various methods and procedure involved are likely to
have adverse impact on economy due to various reasons as mentioned
below.
Left regulated, virtual money businesses can gobble up real money.
The fast mushrooming Virtual Money businesses can gobble up real
money disrupting nation's economy. For example printing and supplying
money coupons by various money management service providers can end
up as a parallel economy that can interfere with countries economy. This
aspect shall be thought of and actions to avoid such situation to be taken
by Government without delay.
The way out is that ownership of Virtual money shall rest with
Government. The Virtual money needed for such business shall be
generated by RBI in the form of encoded and encrypted and pre-

7. 7
authenticated 'data strips' with distinctive UR code for each
denomination that can be used only with RBI's authentication in its every
transaction. Every MTM user is given unique code and authentication to
use virtual money at the time of registration. The system is such that
every virtual money transaction undergoes an authentication process in
the MTM system.
All pre-paid or post-paid money coupons etc., needed for MTM system
shall be generated and issued by RBI by against equivalent amount of
physical cash from the mTm service provider. These data coupons shall
be fail proof and tamper proof with no scope of creation of counterfeit.
Such a system shall have records and statistics and other information of
entire virtual money transactions in the country.
Therefore, government should take immediate steps to bring in
exclusively banked money management service under regulatory controls
through National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) under the ambit
of RBI.
If the government desire to keep it under the control of RBI, a solution to
resolve the impasse between Government and telecom Service providers
is to have an exclusive virtual banking system associated with the mTm
service provider that is set up as a 3rd party system by the consortium of
Telecom Service providers. (End of Summary.)

Introduction. Sexual assault on Women and Children and all sorts of
sexual vandalism and attacks on weak are happening for ages all over
the world. The recent mindless and horrific rape and assault incident in
Delhi made India to wake up and strongly protest against such heinous
crimes. Various forms of upheaval across the country had made
government to bend down and look for ways and means to tackle this
horrendous problem.
1. One suggestion most heard is about drastically enhancing
punishments. Making punishments more rigorous & delivery of justice,
certain and quicker, will definitely help to deter good percentage
incidence of such crimes. However, it is doubtful whether that alone willincidence of such crimes. However, it is doubtful whether that alone will
solve the entire problem that has spread like cancer in all levels of
society. In
behaviour and matters related to Sex.
Legitimizing homosexual behaviour & same sex marriage are vastly
accepted and therefore, had become order of the day in most part of the
world. Whether the change is for good or bad is a question to ponder by
everyone. In the matter concerning sexual assault on women, there are
thousands of sexually starved and mentally derailed persons out there
across all regions in the country. Identifying and rehabilitating them isacross all regions in the country. Identifying and rehabilitating them is
the most important need of the day. I have dealt this in detail in my blog
interested to have a look.

9. 9
2. Along with changing laws on sex crimes and rehabilitating the
probable and likely perpetrators, it is equally important to seriously look
into other options; especially every possible means towards effective
preventive measures open to us. And that is exactly the object of this
paper: 'Information Technology based Emergency Systems and Services'.
The proposal is to embrace contemporary and readily implementable
modern technology based products and services; to assist the Citizensmodern technology based products and services; to assist the Citizens
and Law Enforcement authorities, to quickly and efficiently act on such
occasions leading to sexual harassment and physical violence so as to
take pre-emptive actions to prevent most of the incidents before those
happen.
More importantly, awareness about mere presence of such systems will
greatly help to deter miscreants; and with it the object is half realized.
1. Emergency services available in contemporary Telecom systems.
i) Land line systems: It is mandatory to provide emergency call feature in
all Public Telecom services. In Land line systems, dialling codes 100,
101, 102, 911 ETC., are available for accessing Police, Fire Station and
Ambulance services. In networks abroad there is facility to send an alert
call with calling line identity (CLI) and caller's location to a Centralized
t off hook.
ii) Mobile phone systems: In Mobile phone systems, there is a feature that
enables any one in distress to initiate emergency access by dialling code
112. This facility is available in all mobile phones even without the SIM
card in it. Most phones can be programmed to send out emergency
seconds. Using Location Based services (LBS) in Mobile phone
technology, such emergency calls can be identified by any Mobile system
and rerouted to nearest Control room autonomously based on the
current location of the caller. Such emergency calls will be picked up by
any mobile network available in the premises. Using a special purpose

10. 10
phone or Customer Service station in the control room, callers phone
number and location will be readily displayed to initiate take immediate
action.
iii) Access through GPS network: Every vehicle can be given a unique ID
like Aadhaar number. Every vehicle shall be equipped with both GSM /
GPS access equipment. ISRO can provide Satellites and transponders forGPS access equipment. ISRO can provide Satellites and transponders for
keeping these connected to Control centres. As suggested in my blog:
Exclusive Govt. owned GSM/GPS Systems & Networks for Crisis and
Disaster management. http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-dh It is be possible to
access the control room using special purpose emergency access number
even without SIM cards and also get linked to GPS access where there is
no GSM connectivity. Such systems are already working in some
countries.
iv.) The need to have a Universal access code: Instead of different access
codes for disparate services, Government and authorities concerned shall
consider to have a common universal dialling code for all sorts of
emergency access like 911 as being used in US.
v) Exclusive emergency devices and systems. Using the same concept
emergency service can be provided using exclusive emergency devices
(Mobile or Fixed), network and systems. Devices can be in the form of
wearable like a Wrist band, Watch or Pendant or Waist band hidden
under the dress. Satellite connectivity can be used to link the systems
with central Control Centre.

presentation. Tech based Emergency systems and services (PPT)
2. Street level Emergency Siren units.
Such features of emergency access can be further exploited by installing
and making available suitable Mobile SIM enabled pole mounted 'Siren

11. 11
from any mobile phone can be routed to the nearest 'Siren unit' to
activate a loud beeping hooter in it. In parallel, information is
automatically sent to the nearest Control Room for alerting the Mobile
Police Petrol in the vicinity. The Siren units shall be fail proof and tamper
proof working on local power connections with stand bye battery kept
charged with Solar panels. These pole mounted Siren units will have a
Mobile number (MSISDN) and will remain logged into the Mobile network.Mobile number (MSISDN) and will remain logged into the Mobile network.
Failure or tampering of the unit in any way will be automatically sensed
by Mobile system and reported to Control Room. Once activated, the unit
can be deactivated only from the control room by accessing it and
entering secret code/pass word. Readiness of these units is to be checked
periodically as a routine either at its physical location by mock call or
accessing it from control room. Such facility can be readily implemented
in every place; in Urban and rural area where there is Mobile phone
facility and also is possible in Land line networks. In rural areas the siren
units can be placed in Police stations, Post offices, Panchayat offices etc.
CCTV's with GSM connectivity. The above mentioned idea can be used for
street level CCTV units to make it fail proof and tamper proof, with
connectivity to GSM system.
3. Provision of Emergency Siren units in vehicles.
3.1. It will be useful to provide an Aadhaar ID and a Siren unit for
emergency use by commuters in any form of distress in every vehicle.
3.2. To begin with it shall be made mandatory to have such Siren units
(similar to the burglar alarm in Cars) in all Public transport systems,
Buses, Taxis and Railway compartments. The unit shall be tamper-proof
and will have unique ID linked with GSM as an access number, ideally
its Mobile number MSISDN translated into a short code. This access code
shall be prominently displayed in every public vehicle in such a way that
any traveller in distress can see and access it by dialling the number

12. 12
using their mobile phone. Such emergency calls made to every vehicle
units will be identified by the Mobile switching system and autonomously
forwarded in parallel to the nearest Control Room and Street Siren unit.
3.3. In addition every vehicle shall have 'Emergency marked' push
switches at the back of the seats and also 'chain pull' alarm mechanism
with it handle at convenient access points in the vehicle by which thewith it handle at convenient access points in the vehicle by which the
siren unit in the Bus/Cabs can be activated to arm the Bus/Cab units to
raise a sounder like a car burglar alarm for alarm and send an
emergency call to nearby Street Unit and Control room.
3.4. There shall be a camera the vehicle than will be triggered when
emergency system is activated which will record photo of the driver and
interior of the vehicle.
3.5. The unit shall be permanently powered directly by the battery of the
vehicle and shall remain logged into the network. It shall have internal
standby battery in the absence of power from vehicle battery. Tampering
or deactivation of the unit will be detected in Mobile and can be
programmed to make an auto call to the control room to inform the
authorities about it. Functional readiness of the units shall be
periodically inspected by the authorities. The system should be such that
once activated the Siren unit can be switched off only by accessing it
from the control room.
4. Special purpose gadgets: It is possible to provide such facility even
with cheap special purpose small gadgets, something like the Pager that
we have been using before the arrival of Mobile phones. It can work the
same way like a Mobile phone without SIM to initiate an emergency call.
Gadgets can be made in the shape of bangles or wrist watches with a
distress button. In addition such units can be used as multipurpose life
science device: a watch, phone, music /video device and emergency

13. 13
access when in distress. Many digital wearables are already in the
market.
Provision of an emergency button in such devices and pressing it for few
seconds can be made to send message to nearest control room and also
autonomously activate the nearest street siren where Mobile Police are
available on 24/7 basis.
Wearing such a gadget by itself will act as deterrent as no one will dareWearing such a gadget by itself will act as deterrent as no one will dare
touch a girl or woman wearing such a gadget; and the intended object is
achieved. Such gadget can be part of ''Waist band'' hidden under the
dress so that there is no chance of it being snatched away by vandals.
5. Technology readily available: Technology for such features and
products are readily available and can be implemented with minimum
amount of additional applications. Such steps up will deter vandals from
attacking women and weak in unsecured ATM's and other isolated places
like toilets/restrooms in public places, malls etc. As far as ATMs are
concerned, the simplest solution can be to install these embedded in
building walls in busy sidewalks in open public view. An emergency
button can be provided in the ATM panel, pressing of it for few seconds
can be made to initiate a loud howler in the vicinity and also send a
distress signal to the control room and street sirens where 24/7 Mobile
Police available.
It is possible to add more features into such systems with the advent of
NFC technology etc. Also it is possible to auto lock the doors of the
vehicle or disable the vehicle engine after few minutes of the unit's
activation. Hope the Government, Hon. Justice Varma Commission
others involved in decision making will definitely consider such
technology based options also as 'Prevention is always better than cure.
The greatest benefit is that awareness about availability of such system
in every street and every public transport vehicle (even if it is not
working) will act as deterrent to vandals and hooligans. Therefore, wide

14. 14
publicity shall be given to create awareness in both, the likely victims
and likely perpetrators. End of summary.

Exclusive Govt. owned Communication systems and
Networks for Disaster management and Security.
Link: http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-dh
Abraham Paul . P papaul@outlook.com Dated 21 Aug
2012
Quick means of communication is one of the vital needs at the time of major
crisis and disaster and Counter terror activities. The irony is that public
telecom networks are of no help when it is most needed. The normal
telecom networks are designed for optimum busy hour telephone use of a
routine day. The systems get choked due to sudden spurt in usage in case of
any calamity. Failure due to overload in any one system can cause
congestion and failure of other systems in the network also.
It is impossible to design a public telephone network that is capable of
handling the sudden spurt of telephone traffic of sporadic nature that
happen at the time of any major events, crisis and disaster. The way out is

15. 15
to have a private Wireless telecom network exclusively for essential services
such as security, army, police, ambulance, hospitals, road transport &
traffic control, air traffic control, railways and important persons/
organizations and local administration, that are vital in the crisis
control/disaster management system.
India internet cloud. It is also necessary to build an exclusive fully
firewalled India INTERNET cloud to make available secure internet network
is the best thing that happened in the technology space. Openness is its
greatest merit. However, being come into existence as a by chance baby with
no regulatory controls in place, INTERNET can turn from boon to bane any
time. Future wars are not going to be fought with guns and bombs. A cyber
attack can paralyze any country in no time. Moreover, futuristic ICT
networks will be using cloud computing over exclusive clouds by all sorts of
service providers, organizations and the Government for almost all of its
communication and business & management services.
Indian space programs got its priorities wrong. First thing India needed was
its own GPS systems for creating an umbrella network with fully firewalled
India cloud. It is an utmost necessity to ward off foreign networks crowding
in the India space which is detrimental in business point of view
and suicidal in security point of view. TRAI etc., creating big consultancy
papers lament on the ill effects of OTT and what not, are of no use. Instead
of squabbling about Spectrum etc., Government should wake up and do
something on top priority. End of summary. View full article in the link:

Private and exclusively government owned high security GSM network are
being used in some countries for this purpose could be adopted in India
also. During normal situation such systems could be used for the day to

16. 16
day needs of city administration, security and other needs. By design, these
are non-blocking, full availability systems for congestion free service at the
Interconnects to Public networks could be available on normal situation, but
it would be capable to filter or block these to avoid flooding of calls from
other networks during emergency situations.
With these systems and network in place, it would be possible to keep up
fail proof communication between the vital points to receive information and
pass on orders immediately from central control to various points to take
appropriate action in case of cyclone, flood, fire, earthquake, terrorist
activities, bomb scare, mob violence or major traffic hold up situations. It
shall be possible to access the communications systems of Suburban
railway and road transport from this network to contact and pass orders for
immediate actions.
Bomb scare alarms and announcement system shall be available in every
railway compartment. Such systems in different cities could be networkedrailway compartment. Such systems in different cities could be networked
for integrated action of security needs and events and crisis of national
importance. It is possible to have centralized database and control servers
in one of the systems and shared by other networks.
In addition to such private GSM Network, other infrastructures for crisis
management also shall be in place. In addition for exclusive Government
security needs many powerful TETRA security systems and network
solutions shall be considered.
Vital things are: 1) A centralized administrative body to take over andVital things are: 1) A centralized administrative body to take over and
exercise over all control and coordination.
2) A research and consultant group to constantly improvise the systems in
every sphere, technology, strategy, administration etc., according to
changing needs.

3) A contingent of specially trained persons in every city.
4) Necessary infrastructure such as modern weapons, armor and
ammunition.
5) Protected vehicles, helicopters, airplanes, fire tenders and etc., pre-loaded
and fully equipped in operational ready condition.
6) The network can support Universal Unique Identification code project for
providing access to the intelligent chip in UUID cards or devices. Access to
UUID database will become a vital tool to fight against terrorism, localized as
well as imported. Please see my blog: http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-9m
7) Fail proof and tamper proof CCTVs. All CCTVs installed at street level for
monitoring purposes shall be equipped with GSM SIM and linked to the
network so that failure or tampering of the unit can be immediately detected
and rectified.
8) TETRA systems and networks for high security Government
communications.
Economic feasibility: A system that has full coverage of the entire city and
suburbs would be expensive. Cost could be brought down by sharing the
towers of Public telecom service providers.
Viability of using the systems and network for Value-added-services to
offset the cost of implementation of network.

Segregation of Service Provision from Network operation /Segregation of Service Provision from Network operation /
Universal Numbering Plan.
Link: http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-t
By Abraham Paul. P. papaul@hotmai.com
Introduction: In spite of the few hiccups in the beginning, privatization
has pushed Telecom business in India making the services available and
affordable to common man. However, giving license to more and more
companies would not be ideal at this point of time.
There was a time the monopoly telecom provider could not meet the
needs of a growing country. Things have changed; there are enough
Service Providers now who can jointly meet the challenges. However, too
many new Networks will put pressure on the business viability of the
industry in terms of redundant systems and networks needing very high
CAPEX/OPEX, availability and restrictions of spectrum etc. Low returns
and margins will kill the initiative to innovate and provide more products,
features and facilities without increase in cost of usage.
Another important aspect is that with rolling out High Bit rate Data and
multi-media products, the distinction between Wired and Wireless
systems will slowly vanish. This is because with Multi-Megabit networks,
the Wireless portion of the network will become less and less and the
Wired network comprising OF linkage etc., will be the back bone of both
Wired and Wireless networks in long haul as well as short haul and the

19. 19
last mile connectivity till the end links which will be modern WiMax or
WiFi links.
Facts of future being so, there is scope of Virtual Mobile networks VMN
by more Service Providers sharing common Systems and Network, so as
to bring down the CAPEX and OPEX, and more revenue for the existing
owners of the Systems / Networks. Also it is worthwhile to look at theowners of the Systems / Networks. Also it is worthwhile to look at the
amount of foreign exchange outflow for redundant multiple Switching
systems, Billing systems and VAS and more importantly the Wireless
towers and infrastructure for the Networks individually being provided
by every Service Provider for their business.
Therefore, now is the time to bring in more and more Companies that can
provide OFC network and System for back bone needed for a fast growing
Multi-media communication system across the country. As OF
connectivity to remotely rural areas is going to take considerable time, it
is necessary to link these areas with Satellite links as a short term
measure.
1.1. Segregation of Telecom Service provision and Telecom Network
operation will be the better business option.
Managing the Telecom Business and running of Telecom Networks are
entirely different ball games. The business becomes more viable by
limiting the number of networks in an area for better utilization of
resources and at minimal investment costs.
To avoid crowding of networks in low potential areas, every company
need not have their own network operation everywhere but shall be
possible to mutually share the Networks. Moreover as the data speed
becoming higher and higher, the cell are become smaller and it becomes
difficult to give Microwave connectivity to closely knit cells.
The idea is to conceptually segregate the Telecom Service Provision and
Telecom Network Operation.

20. 20
1.2. Telecom Service Providers sell the service to the customers and
manage the Telecom Business. Telecom Network Operators set up, run
the networks and sell network service to Service providers.
License can be given for more companies to become Telecom Service
Providers using the Virtual Mobile Network based Business concept. ItProviders using the Virtual Mobile Network based Business concept. It
shall be made mandatory for them to provide service as Telecom Service
Providers for the entire Circle without discrimination of any area
limitations; along with existing FN/GSM/CDMA providers in the Circles
and other Pan India licensed Companies.
Customers shall have the choice of buying service from any licensed
Service Provider based on the service cost and value added services, and
use any network that offer the best quality service in his service area.
1.3. Network Operation by the Consortium of Service Providers.
Having already given license to many Service Providers in every Circle,
the network operation in rural areas to be set up and run by the
Consortium of the FN/GSM/CDMA and Pan India licensed Service
Provider Companies in each Circle.
To make the Network Operation business viable in rural areas, more sops
and subsidies may be allowed in the licensing, cost of wireless spectrum,
interconnect charges, etc. for the network operation in rural areas under
the consortium.
This way it is not necessary to wedge in a new set of Service providers or
Network operators in Telecom Circles exclusively for the rural telecom
business where the future growth is. Otherwise it will be opening out yet
2. Need for Universal numbering.

21. 21
As telecom industry getting opened out with more and more Virtual
Mobile Service providers in the fray, the call routing philosophy also
needs change. This is envisaged in the proposed new numbering plan.
The call routing will be based on discrete Service Provider identity instead
of network identity or destination code.
2.1. How to Segregate Service Provision and Network operation. The2.1. How to Segregate Service Provision and Network operation. The
service providers can have their own Home Location Register (HLR) or a
business tie up with a centralized HLR provider. The HLR can sit
anywhere in the country. Instead of the current used geographic
translating it as the HLR number for the purpose of signalling between
HLR and VLR. The call originated from various MSC/ VLR / GATEWAY
of the address of the MSC / VLR for routing the call directly to the
terminating switch where the customer is roaming at that time by
optimal routing.
2.2. Feasibility of proposed new Numbering plan. In this model,
Customer will belong to the Service Provider, not to any particular
Network Operator in whose network the subscriber is roaming at that
point of time and have freedom to choose and use any network and any
carrier for inter-network for availing service. Optimal Routing is
envisaged to optimize direct routing of calls to the destination network.
Proposed below is the Service Provider based International Multi-media
Multi-
will be:-
Cn = + Cc Sp Ts Sn (15 digits and according E164/E165).
2.3. Scope of Universal Numbering plan:

22. 22
b) The Area Code is replaced by Service Provider identity. Numbering can
accommodate 1000 Service Providers.
c) Exclusive Customer number over the entire numbering and exclusive
Subscriber number under each Type of service.
d) Service Provider identity becomes a discrete digit stream to identify
and rout the signalling and call content to appropriate network,
switching system and terminal device.switching system and terminal device.
e) The Subscriber number (Sn) will be same for various services; Voice,
Fax, Data, Video and Multimedia services.
f) A discrete digit (Ts) in the numbering plan identifies and routes the call
to required type of transport media, network, switching system and
terminal device.
2.4. Components of proposed numbering plan.
-National Access code: (translated to local needs of the
country of origin.)
Cc = Country Code (91 for India)
Sp = Service Provider identity (000 to 999)
Ts = Type of Service (1 to 9) (1=Voice, 2=FAX, 3=Data, 4=Video, 5-9
reserved)
Sn = Subscriber Number (PQ MCDU. 9/10 digits) (0000000001 to
9999999999)
For National access (Voice call) Called number Cn = Sp Ts Sn = 210 1
876543210
International number: (Voice Call) Cn= + Cc Sp Ts Sn = + 91 210 1
876543210
For the time being a 9 digit Subscriber number (Sn) would be enough for
the Telecom Numbering plan keeping the total digits within 15 digits.
2.5. Carrier Selection. A distinct code (Pc) proposed for Preferred Carrier
Selection.

23. 23
This code will not be part of the numbering scheme. Pc is keyed in
during the call set up when asked for it by the switching system during
the progress of call, using interactive intelligent networking.
In due course, a distinctive International Service provider code can be
derived combining the Country code Cc with Service provider code into
one Sp code. Example: Cn = Sp Ts Sn, where Sp can be a 5 to 6 digits
International service provider code. With that Sn can be expanded to 10International service provider code. With that Sn can be expanded to 10
digits.
For India the range of the Called Number which is the Customer Number
This Universal Numbering plan will provide 1000 sets of 10 Billion
numbers for each service type.
With the proposed Service provider based Universal Numbering plan and
call routing based on it, Customer can avail services roaming in
network, regional, national or international of any Network provider
retaining his Service Provider based number as far the user remains the
customer of the service provider. However, change in numbering will
become necessary only if the customer choose to change his Service
Provider.
Number portability is an obsolete concept of old fixed number network
scenario and has no relevance in Mobile phone network the user can
avail service of any network operator using regional, national and
international roaming feature. Moreover, with NGN and MPLS networks,
the end user devices of sorts will have individual IP address in place of
current form of numbering. End of summary.

because, while every industry struggle to build a market volume, thebecause, while every industry struggle to build a market volume, the
incumbent monopoly strangled the market potential by making plans for
change in the sector. Now you can step into any pan shop and walk away
with ready to use phone. The cost of usage also becomes affordable to
common man.
Then look at the pathetic state of Telecom manufacturing sector like ITI and
others in this country. In spite of exploding market potential for equipment,
devices and accessories within the country and abroad, the manufacturing
industry in India refuse to grow even with mammoth net worth andindustry in India refuse to grow even with mammoth net worth and

1. Succumbing to various pressures, opening out of the Telecom
manufacturing sector is delayed. It is not necessary to link this with
BSNL going public. Privatization of labour intensive BSNL will rake up
many issues. Whatever said and done, private sectors lack the will to
harmoniously manage such huge and mostly redundant labour force.

running helter-skelter with surplus cash to grab business, M&A etc., across

allow and channelize investments to industrial sector.

companies from which the imports are coming now. There is the risk of
passing on outdated systems and technology. Life cycle of telecom & IT
hardware is becoming lesser; software and middle-ware need continuous
upgrades at added cost. With fast changing technology, the telecom
investment projections go haywire with very low life cycle hardware, and

3. When majority holding by the FDIs, the Indian counter parts will have no
bargaining strength. Cost of systems is likely to go up as the present
in case of foreign collaborators, it shall be made mandatory to transfer
technology to their Indian counterparts like what China did in this field
in the recent past.
As far as the question of security issues are concerned, even now all
imported systems have on line access by vendors from their foreign facility
bases, for diagnosis and other engineering purposes. Manufacturing and
restricting access only from within the country is the only way to safeguard
any potential security. End of summary.

and growth in per capita income. Futuristic and far sighted policies are ideal
but the growth curve need to a continuous slope.
Therefore, growth in telecom shall go hand in hand with changing Eco-

be done is to quickly implement the projects in urban, semi urban and
towns where the eco system readily available. In rural areas use
contemporary systems such as base model Telecom exchanges, systems and

electricity, wherever possible now and expand to other areas.
In isolated areas give connectivity to gateways via satellite links instead

Make Telecom Systems, network, Phones, product and
services for the common man.
http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-9i
Introduction: There is urgent need to make Telecom systems, Networks,
Phones, Products and Services that are available, accessible and affordablePhones, Products and Services that are available, accessible and affordable
to common man. As in every business, success of the business is in its
important factors in bringing in business volume.
1. There was a time telecom industrialists where the considered view of
most telecom industrialists that the business focus shall be on the creamy
layer as 80% of the revenue come from 20% of the high end users there. But
enormous growth story of telecom that happened in last decade is ample
proof that the fact is other way around. Considerable reduction in cost of
end user devices and cost usage helped the business to grow in hugeend user devices and cost usage helped the business to grow in huge
volumes everywhere, turning the table as 90% revenue generating users are
there in the general mass that contribute the much higher volume of
revenue than that of the 10% in the creamy layer.
2. However, the phone vendors vie each other in bringing into the market
more and more smarter phones so as to make quick money from the

29. 29
creamy layer instead of enhancing more capability on affordable models
catering the needs of the vast majority users in the general mass of the
population. Same goes in the case of hype up towards higher and higher
data speed capability whether the technology and the systems in the field
are ready for it or not, and also whether most users that generate major
business volume really need it and have the knowhow to manage
sophisticated technology products and features.sophisticated technology products and features.
It creates considerable fission in the path of smooth growth as most of the
hyped up products are like putting the cart before the horse making it
difficult for the service providers to make available systems & technology
that cater for the high volume of lower level and the low volume creamy
layer customers at the same time.
3. While every sophisticated features being offered with the release of each
high profile phones cannot be included in the lower models. Same is true
about the high data rate handling capability of phones made for 3G, 4G etc.
services. 4G LTE cell sites would cover bigger cell area but such network do
not support Voice calls and therefore need to fall back to 2G networks to
service voice calls.
In addition to above factors, the new generation technology use different
frequency in the spectrum layer in different countries and hence one cannot
roam with same phone everywhere which also becomes an important factor
that could disrupt the growth of business volume.
Therefore, there is a need to continue with provision of features that are
useful to the majority population in phones that are affordable and that will
continue to be of interest in the long run and benefit both users and the
industry.
While it is possible to manufacture phones that can handle different
technology systems and network, cost goes up heavily both for the network

30. 30
operators as well as for the users especially where Governments decide to
extract money for different layers of wireless spectrum that are needed to
provide service across the users. This is more so due to lack of
understanding that the basic spectrum cost shall include cost of new
spectrum that will be needed by the licensed service provider for their
technology upgrades later. There are many such contentious issues to be
ironed out between the Licensee/Spectrum providers and Telecomironed out between the Licensee/Spectrum providers and Telecom
industrialists.
In fact Telecom penetration of a billion and its effect on the very much
hat can be made by prevention
of pilferage and corrupt practices in India will contribute much more to the
GDP than what government can make by selling License and Spectrum to
Telecom Industry and ultimately these will be passed on by them to the
user.
4. Potential of using phones for disparate telephony related and non-
telephony related Value Added Systems are becoming limitless. For example,
the products that related to multimedia transactions, health care products,
Money management using phones etc.
Mobile phones play a major role in Internet of Things (IOT). The features
such as text to voice conversion especially with transcription to vernacular
option is a marvellous product that can be of great use in guiding the users
who are not having text reading level of knowledge, to follow the instructions
in the texts in screen displays or voice interactive systems and respond
accordingly. Some of which could be voice response for authentication in
form voice recognition for security purpose.
In short Government should concentrate on people centric technology and
giving focus on making mobile phones a Life Science Device (LSD) that will
help eradicate poverty and enrich the social status of hundreds of millions

Information Technology based solutions to reduce rail

Introduction: With such enormity of the Rail network and its heavy usage
across the country, it is almost impossible to fully prevent accidents in
Railways that are wilfully caused by miscreants. Implementation of fail
proof and tamper proof technology also will be an extremely difficult task
due to its openness in isolated areas. Damaging of rail tracks or trains
with mines or bombs with remote control devices are difficult to prevent.
For any anti social element or group it is too easy to cause a majorFor any anti social element or group it is too easy to cause a major
accident. For example, any goon can cover the railway signal lamps with
a gunny bag in the night to easily misguide the drivers, and cause

Guards at a station to make them inactive in few minutes. A turnaround
can happen only with major social change that is not going to happen
soon the way the political situation in the country is what it is now.
It is the experience that most accidents happen due to leaving the safety
aspect fully to humans. It is therefore, necessary to find ways and means
to do something quickly to prevent accidents due to human error or
signalling failure and also to some extent tampering of the system by
miscreants, even if the chances of such is only one in thousand, by
introducing some fail proof & tamper proof technology solutions.
Technology based solutions: Fully GPS based technology as being talked

methods. It is in this regards, I suggest the following solution which is

Submission 12.
The never ending Telecom muddle in India.
http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-gG
Abraham Paul. P. papaul@hotmail
Introduction: In spite the technocrats in the erstwhile department of
Telecom in India being one of the bests in the world, it is astonishing to see
that right from the time of privatization of Telecom industry in India, there
have been continuous infirmities in decision making by the government on
Telecom related matters.
Creation of various regulatory bodies and tribunals, and the technology
advisers in PMO et all appears to be either ineffective or are being interfered
with and therefore, resulting in failures in taking right decisions keeping
interest of the people and quick Telecom growth to benefit all, as prime
objects. Same is true with various EGOMs that are empowered to deal with
and decide Telecom policies. Every decision taken have been invariably
opposed and challenged in the courts by many private Telecom
industrialists on one side and attracted adverse reports by CAG, resulting in

48. 48
PAC, JPC, CBI inquiries, Judiciary interventions, prosecution of a cabinet
Minister and serving and retired bureaucrats, heads of industrial bodies etc.
etc..
1. Technology is changing fast and the overall business characteristics have
become much different from old Telecom service. Henceforth, Information
Communication systems will be a complex combination of many life science
technologies rolled into one, drastically changing the profiles of Network
operation / Service provision, Products and Service delivery entirely different
from what in prevalence in Telecom scenario for decades.
Service providers cannot remain isolated from these realities and go on with
doing the type of legacy Telecom technology based business ideas while their
systems, network, products and services are being bye-passed or poached
by disparate disruptive external technology systems and unethical business
practices that use their customer base, systems and networks and siphon
out a good part of their revenue.
Thanks to the Private Industrialists, Telecom in India had grown much
faster than expected and is soon to become one of the highest in terms of
user volume in the world instead many hiccups related various actions,
inaction and delays on the Government side. However, the many drawbacks
policies right from the beginning of privatization;
about restricting the service areas co-terminus with erstwhile DOT Telecom
Circles, restrictions on interconnects between own systems and networks
across service areas, eligibility criteria and tenure of license period, the USO
fund, various Spectrum related issues etc., had remained unresolved issues
between government and the Service providers.between government and the Service providers.
The problem has aggravated when Government started to deviate from its
main object that is quick growth of Telecom penetration across the country
by private participation and keeping its policies as people centric and not
money centric. In addition to the muddles already created by the infirmities

49. 49
in most of
endlessly and then the recent policies regarding License and Spectrum
issues made things murkier.
It is only fair for government to extract its due share from the industry. But
it shall be commensurate with the scope of revenue earning capability of the
industry as well as fast changing eco-systems and technologies that has
great impact on the industry. The delay in decision making and
implementing polices regarding making available the required quantum of
right type of spectrum; the method of allocation of spectrum; whether to be
c entry cost on
quantum of spectrum asked for, that is paid in annual installments during
the License tenure and a part of
by selling of spectrum in open auction route, de-linking spectrum from
license, some of it on erstwhile PSTN circle wise and then some on Pan India
basis etc. etc. is going to kill the Industry on one hand and increase cost of
service to consumers on the other hand.
More importantly, convergence of systems, networks and user end devices
will be the order of the future. It is foolhardy to consider technology and its
business plans in isolated pockets viz 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE, NGN and defining
and re-defining service areas like co-terminus with PSTN telecom circles,
PAN India basis etc., and to think of Spectrum needs accordingly.
There is still no clarity on the issues of License and Spectrum. The proposal
of de-linking spectrum from license also raises many questions:-
1. Will both the License and Spectrum will be auctioned? What will be1. Will both the License and Spectrum will be auctioned? What will be
auctioned first, License or Spectrum? What will happen if someone get
license first and do not qualify in spectrum auction or the other way
around? Will a new company getting license be automatically given required
spectrum? If so what was this big idea of de-linking spectrum from license?

50. 50
2. What happens to the incumbent Telecom operators? Building up of
Telecom business is a continuous process of expansions, upgrades and
migration to new technology. Telecom is a high investment oriented industry
and also under obligation of providing socially vital service at affordable cost
of usage to its large percentage of middle class and poor customers. License
of operation of a servicing Telecom operation cannot be cancelled on a cutoff
date. How can Govt. tell an incumbent operator to get their fresh licensedate. How can Govt. tell an incumbent operator to get their fresh license
through auction? How can an incumbent operator make sure that they can
get license through auction? Even having it obtained, what about
spectrum? What happens if they are not successful in getting spectrum
through auction?
3. Re-farming will provide enough Spectrums. In a situation where supply
far exceeds demand, how can auction be an option? If everyone quotes the
minimum bid price, the spectrum will have to be given out by lot at that
prize. Then it goes back to first-come- first- served among the needy. If none
of the incumbent operators participate in auction process, can Govt. impose
penalty? Ultimately Govt. will have to give required spectrum as Telecom
Service is more in the interest of people, than the Industries.
One thing the Government and every stake holder to keep in mind is that
ultimately connectivity is the vital part of every form of ICT, and the media
needed for connectivity is the only thing that do not change and everything
else undergo transformation as technology advances. It is therefore,
ownership of Spectrum should remain with Government.
Further to these, convergence of services viz., Voice Telephony, Data and
Multi-media, Internet based services, various Telephony and non-telephonyMulti-media, Internet based services, various Telephony and non-telephony
related VAS such as e-commerce and mobile Banking & NBFCs, NFC based
products, disparate Location based services, navigation systems, Bandwidth
on demand, Cloud Computing, TV and Radio access, various VOIP services
such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Blackberry, Skype etc., thatover rides or

51. 51
bye pass telecom network will drastically disrupt the legacy Telecom
Industry.
The average holding time of real time data service connectivity on circuit
switched paths (12 minutes) being about 6 times that of Voice calls (2
minutes) that generate about o.2 TU per line and the huge number of call
attempts is going to be beyond the normal capabilities of telecom switching
systems and lead to over load of and collapse of not only individual systems
but also every other system in the junction network. It is almost impossible
design such high traffic handling switching systems. Moreover, with
digitalization IP based switches and networks will be the order of the future.
Considering the changing topology, the high penetration and density of
information communication networks will eventually Telecom Service
providers will have reconsider their future Plans. One of the methods to
reduce high CAPEX & OPEX on is to Segregation of Network operation and
Service provision and with that the need of more and more spectrum on
individual networks, product and service, will vanish.individual networks, product and service, will vanish.

now. Please see my blogs:-

Introduction: It is astonishing to see that the Regulator, the DOT and the
Telecom industrialists never care to have a realistic evaluation of the current
and future India Telecom environment. There will be exponential growth of
customer volume, mostly from the rural India, a good part of it will be from
green field projects.

53. 53
The basic fundamental in a democracy is that Government policies on
supporting of service industries shall be people centric and not money
centric.
1. Telcos need to keep investment cost low because of low revenue
potential is getting narrowed. The sheer nature of environment and
expected low revenue potential due to various factors as discussed below,
call for Systems, Networks, Interconnects and Transport, and Spectrum with
less investment cost. High CAPEX/OPEX and low revenue potential will
make the private Telcos currently shun to expand business into the rural
areas of the country, making it the responsibility of the Government to
provide service in these areas using BSNL or other Govt. supported PSUs
exclusively created for this purpose.
2. Impact of transition from Voice to Data and Multimedia.
http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-23 The advancement in technology and convergence
of Voice and Data will adversely impact the Telecom & ISP providers and
vendors business because of the major shift from Voice based usage to othervendors business because of the major shift from Voice based usage to other
high speed Data and Internet based multi-media services will inevitably
take away the business from Telecom Service providers to external digital,
multimedia and various mobile e-commerce and mobile money management
service providers and along with goes a major chunk of the revenue. (Please
see a detailed paper on this in the link http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-23 )
3. Need to limit the number of Network operators. To keep the systems
and network cost low, there shall be a maximum of only three to four PAN
India Network operators to serve entire country. There can be many Virtual
Service providers who share these systems and networks. This can beService providers who share these systems and networks. This can be
realized by Segregation of Service Provision from Network operation. Please
see my blog on this and a suitable Universal Numbering Plan for this.
http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-t

54. 54
4. Impact of Convergence of Wired and Wireless networks.
http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-26
From the technology and business perspective, the differentiation between
Mobile Networks and Fixed phone network is slowly diminishing. Voice,
Mobile Data / Internet characteristics in Mobile systems are similar to these
in Fixed Networks. Differences are the access type, bandwidth limitations
and device characteristics. New generation Mobile phones have become mini
computers. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on the convergence of Fixed
and Mobile networking so as to provide Universal mode of
Telecommunication features, products and services for all.
4.1. Limitations of current Mobile Telecom system. In a detail
analysis, it can be seen that with higher data rates, the differentiations of
This is because, higher the data rate, smaller becomes
the cell area and networking
area cell sites that are required for High Data rate Service delivery witharea cell sites that are required for High Data rate Service delivery with
Wireless connectivity becomes impractical. In practice, the topology of the
high data service mobile network becomes same as that of fixed network
made up of Optical Cable back bone and WiFi / WiMax based wireless end
link.
Higher Mobility of the Mobile terminal also have impact on the on the size of
the cell sites and data rates that can be realized without compromising
quality of service. Because of this it will become necessary to augment
connectivity using current Towers and Dishes with Micro cells fitted on
poles (shared with electric poles where possible) at every 40 to 50 meterspoles (shared with electric poles where possible) at every 40 to 50 meters
connected by OF feeder cables to provide end links for Mobiles in motion.
4.2. Product utility in Mobile situation: In practical terms, data rates of 2
Mbps and above is required only for quick down loading ofhigh volume
contents such as lengthy digital movie etc., necessity of such will be rare in

55. 55
a mobile situation and therefore, cannot become a major revenue earning
product. Such high volume data files can be easily downloaded and carried
in plug and play storage devices.
It can be seen that an assured data rate of 384 to 512 Kbps, is more than
adequate for video plus voice
products such as, TV news, digital movie display, Multi-media transactions
over internet etc. With 384 to 512 Kbps data rate, the data service can be
delivered to the mobile device in a vehicle moving at its normal speed
without compromising quality of service.
4.3. The business viability of high data service: Higher data rates of
2Mbps and above in Mobile network anytime, anywhere is near to
impractical in terms of business viability. It could be realized only in limited
hot spots and the Mobile device in more or less stationery situation identical
to Wired phone. Bandwidth on demand. This can be achieved with a fixed
network switching system that can identify and give the needed service to
the user the same way as done in the mobile switching system.the user the same way as done in the mobile switching system.
4.4. Limitation in current Wired Line devices. Though very high data rate
products could be made available in a fixed network system, the fixed
network provides only limited mobility within a short coverage area. High
data rate need of the user can be realized if the user can plug in his device
to a fixed network socket or get serviced through PON connectivity as the
end link at the premises.
5. Convergence of Wired and Wireless network and systems: There are
already dual mode devices that can work in fixed network and mobilealready dual mode devices that can work in fixed network and mobile
networks. Also the function of the switching systems of fixed and mobile
networks could be identical except for the mode of line termination at the
user and switching system end.
5.1. Universal Multi purpose systems. The system shall be available,
accessible and affordable and easy to use by all phone users. To quickly

56. 56
lower social and economic strata across the country, the system shall
provide in addition to telephony and data and multi-media services, non-
telephony based value added services such as exclusively banked and non-
services as being suggested in my article
Exclusively banked universal Pay by Phone Service for Micro Finance
http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-4ghttp://wp.me/p1ZsI2-4g
To keep the cost to user low, the system shall work on low cost mobile
devices and solar based power units and at negligible or low cost of usage.
Telecom Industrialists need caution on broad band network ideas that do
not fit in the future. http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-4s
With spectrum re-
prudent for the Telecom industrialists to approach cautiously towards the
http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-8Whttp://wp.me/p1ZsI2-8W
6. Need change in network topology: With advent of new generation
systems and network, wireless portion of the network becomes lesser and
lesser diminishing the need for buying and keeping spectrum, both localized
or Pan India basis at very high cost. The systems and networks shall be
futuristic based on enough redundancy built in Optical Fiber Cable system
supporting MPLS for long haul and short haul connectivity, IP exchanges
(IPX) , and modern wireless networks for the end links supporting LTE
technology.
7. Cloud Computing.
INTERNET is the best thing happened in the world that totally hanged
the Information Communication Technology scenario across the world.
INTERNET came into being without much regulatory controls,
While the advantage of openness of INTERNET as world wide web

57. 57
helped its enormous growth and popularity; absence of well defined
regulatory controls has its own problems.
Country-wise umbrella clouds under world wide web and organization-
wise sub clouds under it, will be the way out to overcome the
problems.
Cloud computing when further developed with firewalling at various
levels can handle most of the transport and switching functions
currently being handled by digital systems in more safer and secure
way. Taking the umbrella connectivity via special purpose satellites
both Geo stationary and geo synchronous systems as needed there can
great cost reduction compared to current form of networking.
Therefore, Convergence of Voice, Data and Multimedia, the networks
and user end devices in Telecom with INTERNET based IP services
using Cloud computing will be the order of the future.
India cloud: With huge increase in user volume, higher Data needs and
higher data speed to handle all these, current network architecture will be
grossly inadequate. The way out is to switch over to Cloud Computing by
indigenous GPS satellites, both Geo synchronous and geo stationery that
can be shared by all Technology service providers handling fall forms of
future VOIP, DATA and Multi-media services. Along with it will drastically
change the connectivity needs including spectrum.
A typical ideal of India cloud is shown in the slide below.A typical ideal of India cloud is shown in the slide below.

Please see my article Exclusive Govt. owned GSM Systems & Networks for
Crisis and Disaster management. http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-dh
With that, the Government, Telcos, ISPs and various other Private and
Public Service providers, et all need to ponder the question in the
topic, How much, where and when?.

Conclusion: Instead of endless squabbles on spectrum, the Government,
Regulators and the Telcos shall look at the futuristic technologies and
take decisions accordingly. 2G, 3G, 4G are just evolutions and nobody
would need to buy spectrum at high cost for different technology systems
in the evolutionary path. And who needs that sort of spectrum with MPLS

run on OF network and IP exchanges, GPS based Cloud Computing etc.,
going to be the technology to bank on in the near future. End of

Democratization of Information and Embracing IT in governance.

DOT India. papaul@hotmail.com Tweet @PA_Paul Dated 29 Sept 2012
Democratization of Information.
While agreeing fully that embracing IT is the way to improve Governance;
India being one of the nations in the forefront of IT capability, it is
astonishing why Government is still far away from exploiting its potential in
the over-all governance so as to transform its various departments
efficient, faster and transparent.
Democratization of Information #DoI through various social media would
become very much useful at least for the middle class who greatly indulge in
it to get over the lacuna due to Ministries, the PMO and those in Planning
commission etc., never bother to replies to letters, suggestions and queries
from ordinary people, other than in RTI route?

60. 60
Mr. Pitroda made genuine effort with his idea of twitter conference on the
topic, Democratization of Information #DOI in spite of it was ill organized.
Instead attempting limited window conferences in Twitter, it would be better
to leave the window open for few days on each topic, have someone record
the tweets and provide the information sought for after due moderation,
periodically through twitter and also in a dedicated page for it in Facebook.
For example, I have the following queries / suggestions for which I would
like to know the views of the Government.
1. Induction of IT being the best way to improve Governance in every way,
why India is not yet using it substantially in all Ministries, Govt.
departments, Judiciary etc.
Govt. departments work like Corporate with SAP, ERP
and other IT based tools and methods implemented and managed?
3. Why HR wings in Government departments not doing performance3. Why HR wings in Government departments not doing performance
using
computerized systems and methods?
4. Why there are no effectively IT based methods to monitor Income and
Assets accumulated beyond source by Public servants / Political masters
and others potential offenders to take action against wrong doers to
eradicate corruption and black money?
5. Why there is so much delay in implementing people friendly projects that
Government talk about for years? As there is no wordGovernment talk about for years? As there is no word
and management, why not use contemporary Technology & Systems instead
waiting for decades searching for perfect solutions.
6. Phones are no more mere phones but become mini-computers. In fact,
India of today, with considerable penetration of Mobile phone services, most
people in the lowest social & economic strata use information

61. 61
communication technology in a day to day basis much more than what the
governments do.
Why the Governments are waiting to accomplish digitization of entire
country for basic Telecom penetration of the remaining rural villages to
implement DBT etc., while it can be straightaway implemented in places
where suitable eco system readily available and expanded to other areas in a
phased manner? http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-a0
Currently un-connected areas shall be serviced using Satellite link
connectivity. http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-28
7. Why there is no plan for FDI in Telecom Infrastructure? When there was
explosive growth in Telecom & ICT during past few decades opening out
great opportunity in manufacturing in Telecom & IT products; why are the
PSUs like ITI and many others are rotting doing practically nothing?
8. Why Government do not consider to plan to implement something like8. Why Government do not consider to plan to implement something like
Universal Un-banked or Exclusively banked Money Management by
phone that can be the means to quicken much needed financial inclusion
of poor across the country in urban as well as rural. Pl see my blog

8.1. Why not RBI look in the urgent need of creating a new banking
system exclusively for regulating and dealing all money management using
phones which will run into a trillions of rupees business and parallel
economy soon before it becomes another scam as explained in the blog
mentioned above.mentioned above.
9. Being Technocrats in erstwhile DOT the best in world, why most of the
technology decisions of DOT are both delayed and mostly defective?
