BSNL reports first-ever loss of `1,823 crore

State-owned telecom firm BSNL on Saturday reported a net loss of Rs 1,823 crore for 2009-10 mainly due to payment of wage arrears for the past three years, as against Rs 575 crore net profit in the previous year. The company’s total revenues also plunged by over 10 per cent during the year at Rs 32,045 crore (both from services and other income), compared to Rs 35,812 crore in 2008-09, BSNL CMD Kuldeep Goyal said.

This is the first-ever loss registered by the PSU since its inception in October 2000, when it was spun off the Department of Telecom (DoT). The losses, however, coincided with a distinction of BSNL achieving mobile subscriber base of 100 million. Goyal, meanwhile, is retiring today after a stint of 3-year as CMD of BSNL.

                                                                                           

 “We have implemented the wage revision this year and paid arrears for the last three years and the outgo was Rs 2,900 crore,” Goyal said. Had the wage revision expenditure not been there, the company would have recorded a profit before tax of Rs 703 crore, he added.

On the targets for the current financial year, Goyal said an increase of Rs 4,000 crore revenue would bring BSNL back into profit. He, however, expressed concern over the payment of Rs 18,500 crore for the spectrum of 3G and Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) services, saying it would have an impact of Rs 1,500 crore in interest income alone.

On the company’s market share, Goyal said that in revenue terms it was 19.5 per cent, second after Bharti Airtel. BSNL has also set an ambitious target of adding 20 million new mobile subscribers in the current financial year.

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.

How to crop an image in photoshop

Cropping is one of the most basic editing techniques that can improve your images. Cropping helps to bring out the most important features in your image and focus the viewers’ attention on these features. Cropping also allows you to make your image a standard photo size.

There are several ways to crop images in Adobe Photoshop:
      1. Cropping with the Crop Tool
      2. Cropping to a specific size
      3. Cropping with the Marquee Tool

3. Click on your image once and drag the mouse out to make a cropping border.

4. Resize the border by dragging the squares at the sides and corners till you are satisfied with the way your image looks.
