SwarnaAndhra Harivillu v0.1: Technology: No more restrictions on Internet Telephony in India

-

Good to know, finally Indian government removed all the restrictions on Internet telephony. Really great news.

Finally Indian government has removed the restrictions on internet telephony and allows internet service providers to terminate calls to any phone (landline or Mobile).

The telecom regulator has removed restrictions on net telephony which allows internet service providers (ISPs) to terminate voice calls from the net on the phone. Put simply it makes voice calls interoperable between mobile handset (VOIP- voice internet protocol– enabled) and a personal computer (PC).

Consumers would be able to make calls from PCs to fixed line and mobile phones in India. They can also make a call to personal computers from their handsets. Till date, a call from a computer could legally be made only to another computer within the country, and not to a phone. However, one could make international calls to a phone from their computer.

Google WiFi is live in Mountain View

The much awaited and anticipated Google WiFi network is finally switched on  and fully operational. Any one with a Google login can access the network. New users can signup for one. Currently users get 1Mbps connections speed, but I think it will be ramped up pretty soon. Chris Sacca , Head of Special Initiatives at Google says that at present the company is offering a one-megabit per second connection for everyone, and will tweak the capacity depending on how people use the network. For instance if a lot of people are watching online videos, then the capacity might get a booster shot. - [ GigaOM ] GigaOM has some technical details of the WiFi network that covers around 11.5 square miles: The network, which covers 11.5 square miles, features 380 access points , all supplied by Tropos Networks , a Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company.

Amazon Opens up Kindle for Apps

These days every device manufacturer is trying to emulate Apple App Store .  Amazon is the latest one to join.

First Amazon introduced a new Royalty model for publishers, which can be considered as little friendlier than earlier. Now it opens up Kindle for developer apps. Kindle may not be suitable for all kinds of Apps that we normally see on App Store, for instance Games, but can have apps centered around content and in the long run may help Amazon to make Kindle more useful to its customers.
