WiFi is considered a cheaper medium to provide Internet service to the consumers. “In order to operate WiFi service, router should be placed in different places throughout the country,” NT official said, adding that partnership with private sector will be a stimulus to carry it out at the earliest.

According to the NT source, the partner has not been selected, so far. NT will seek proposals from the private sector soon, he said. It will launch the WiFi service in Kathmandu and other major cities in the first-phase and the service will be expanded to other parts of the country in the next phase, he said.

In the first-phase, the router will be placed at around 150 places and in the second-phase it will be extended to more than 500 places. NT has estimated an investment of around Rs 100 million to set up the infrastructure for the WiFi service.

NT management is thinking of launching WiFi service within 4 months that, according to NT, will help in promoting Nepal Tourism Year (NTY) in its own big way.

Everything in the new Lion OSX seems to be wonderful and very helpful to the mac users but only one thing concerns me to write this blog post. The main concern of mine as well as most of the people might be the upgrade system Apple has announced this time. The new OSX Lion will be only available in Mac App Store and will be automatically upgraded from Mac App Store only eliminating the Disc that we used to buy for upgrading Apple’s previous versions of the OSX. They have dramatically decreased the price of the new OSX from previous $129.99 to $29.99 only for Lion but how is everyone who owns a mac will updated the 4GB download keeping in mind that not every part of the world have high speed internet access to them and not all mac users have iTunes account/Mac App Store account with them, so how are they going to update their current Snow Leopard OSX to Lion? This thing concerns a lot to me.

I am lucky that I am using my brother’s credit card account for iTunes/Mac App Store to buy apps but not everyone is lucky as I am, isn’t it? So, is Apple is going to bring any alternate method for those users who doesn’t have iTunes/App Store account with them? or are they gonna stick up with the Mac App Store upgrade only?

Please leave your comment and let me know your thought on this matter

As well all know by now that facebook the social network giant intoduced “Places” on their mobile apps. And many users are loving it and they frequently use “Places” to let friends know where they have checked in. But how good is it to let it know everyone in you facebook friendslist to know your each and every checkins? Don’t you find it little awkward updating all the checked in places you have been?

Well, for me yes sometimes I do use the “Places” just to let my friends know where but I find it little scary to let know the actual position of my Home via Places. Cause anyone can know the exact location of your Home and track you down. I am not saying that checking in your Home and let your friends know that you are home safe and sound after the long night party or the event can be a good information to your friends but it can be as much dangerous too. HOW? If you have a habit of adding random people in your friends list it can be little scary, cause you don’t know who he/she is and for what purpose they have added you there. So, I think (personal opinion) that its not always a good idea to update your checked in places via facebook. Its really okay to updated the public places you have visited but checking in your private places like home or your relatives locations may not be so cool all the time.

I may be or may not be correct here but I would like to know what you guys think on this one

thank you everyone

Yesterday (07.06.2010) Apple, announced iPhone4 and iOS 4 eliminating Phone from its OS name as now its not just limited to iPhone but iPad and iPod too.

Many people in Nepal are using unlocked version of iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS as our carrier are not so interested in introducing legal iPhone in the country so far. So, people using iPhone have to use unlocked version of the iPhone and which keeps us away from updating its OS directly from iTunes but instead wait until we get a way to unlock it after getting our hands on Jailbreak software is released with every OS update and it’s not an easy job to unlock the phone after jailbreaking it because we always have a fear of baseband change which leads to keep the iPhone locked for the rest of the life and we can use it only as an iPod .

So, now another part will be limiting us to use iPhone4 in Nepal and that would be the “MicroSIM”. Apple now has introduced MicroSIM slot in new iPhone4 device. So there is no point of buying it to use it in Nepal and don’t seem chances that NT (Nepal Telecomm) or Ncell (formerly MeroMobile) will be introducing MicroSIM to its customers just for the sake to let us use iPhone4 .

But, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users can enjoy the new features of iOS 4 in their phone by jailbreaking it (once its online).

So, if you are Apple fan and want to buy iPhone4, please go though the specifications carefully before you invest your huge loads of saving in buying one.

And then I went to this agent (only the third one I visited) and when asked about the fare they mentioned almost 20% cheaper compared to what I was prepared to pay. I rechecked about the airways and the route and everything was same. Hello? Obviously as every normal people I would be drawn to the deal. I reserved the ticket. Five days prior to the flight I went to pay for and collect the ticket. Then all of a sudden they tell me that the rate they gave me earlier was of a different route with transit in Delhi (which I was destined to avoid after my disastrous time on my way to Europe last year). The new rate was still higher than the one I have previously figured. Obviously just 5 days to my flight and so many things to finalize I won’t be running for ticket prices. I got the ticket and paid the price. I thought the worst was over but was proved wrong when I got into Abu Dhabi transit. I was assured by my ticketing agent that I had a hotel booking at the Abu Dhabi transit but later found out that my ticketing agent has left no stone unturned to torture me. The Etihad Airways staff had a hard time convincing that I was fooled by my ticketing agent. How could someone do such to his customer?

The issue here is, do they care about their customer? Not one bit. They only think about making quick money no matter what it costs them. With this mentality they would never get a loyal following. I would never visit that agent again nor would I recommend it to anyone. Someone please tell them the story of a goose that lay golden eggs every day.

So they have pretty much the same sort of customer pattern every day. They have new customer everyday and can never retain their old customer. And without the customer flowing, you never get BIG.
