China's progress in IT is an opportunity for India: Infy's Murthy

N.R. Narayana Murthy, the founder of IT giant Infosys, opined that India should perceive China's rapid development in the information technology sector as an "opportunity" for Indian IT companies functioning in that country, rather than as a "threat," reports Raktima Bose from The Hindu. 

Answering if China's speedy progress in the IT field could pose a threat to India's favourable global position, Murthy said, "China has shown development in extraordinary proportions in different sectors. It will also make progress in the IT sector. Almost all Indian IT companies have a presence in China now.

 But we are not looking at China as a threat but as an opportunity." Many of India's leading IT companies like TCS, Infosys and Satyam has setup shops in china to attract projects from the Chinese Industries and to explore the booming manufacturing sector there. Some of the major Indian companies have also acquired small sized Chinese companies to understand the market and to merge themselves into the Chinese culture. Though the per hour rate offered by Chinese is less than India's rate, about 30 percent less. But there are lot of hidden costs which includes communication issues (more time, more rate), knowledge transferring time, data security protection and regulatory issues. These issues demands a completely new strategy for the western companies to kick start its outsourcing plans.

50% Mobile tower in Bhopal are illegal

Around 50 percent of the mobile towers in the State capital are illegal, concluded a  report of the Bhopal Municipal Corporation {BMC}. The civic body is responsible for issuing requisite permissions to these towers. In a list recently compiled by the civic body, it was discovered that as many as 160 of the total 318 mobile towers in the city were installed illegally, while only 160 were found to be complying with the norms.

    Interestingly, those termed illegal were found to be flouting municipal guidelines as the list does not take into account any health risks posed by these towers.

Ironically, of these 158 mobile towers of different companies, including Airtel, and Reliance, around 50 have been granted a stay order by the court, restraining the corporation from initiating action against them.

                                                                              While Airtel tops the list of illegally erected towers with as many as 50 such towers spread across various localities of the city, Reliance was found to own 21 illegal mobile towers. The remaining are owned by other private players in the telecom sectors. Most of these towers were termed as illegal, due to their failure to get the building strength certified of MANIT as required by municipal norms, said officials.

                                      The other pre-requisites for installing mobile towers including a no objection certificate {NOC} from the local ward office, depositing the requisite fee and completing relevant paperwork, which could only complete only commence after completion of the initial two steps.

Turn speech into text

    Can ”t get the hang of two-thumbed typing? Perplexed by predictive text? Cursed with sausage fingers? Or just plain lazy? Never fear. Your days of tapping messages into your mobile using tiny keys could be over after a new phone “app” Was released that turns speech into text. Users can dictate messages into the phone which displays what they have said on the screen at the tap of a button. It can then be sent as a text or email. The phone will also respond to demands for punctuation with commands such as “exclamation mark” or “mew paragraph”. Any mistakes can be tapping the screen to register an error and choosing from a drop-down list of replacements. And if the worst comes to the worst, you can always delete the words and type in the right one. Another benefit could be the end of abbreviations such as L8R {later} or LOL {laugh out loud} which became popular ways to save time while texting.

 Drawbacks include needing a good 3G connection, having to manually call up receipients details to  send the message, and problems with place names, proper nouns and regional accents. Nuance, the   American firm behind it which pioneered predictive text and provideos the in-car vioceactivated controls in top-of-the-range BMWs, is confident it works. Nuance are also planning to launch an “app” that uses voice-recognition technology to carry out web searches, although Google”s Android phones already 

have this feature.
