|
 The Tech Savvy CEO of ICICI Bank, K V Kamath, must be credited for the e-revolution in the Indian banking Industry. Recent reports suggest that more ICICI Bank consumers were technology savvy by preferring to make transactions on ATM, Internet or Mobile.
Here is an extract of how 100 Transactions of the bank happen. Branch Transactions saw decline from 94 in 2000 to just 22 in 2006. ATM Transactions which were mere 3 in 2000 saw an increase to 46 in 2006. Internet transactions grew from 2 in 2000 to 18 in 2006 while Call Centre and Mobile Transactions went up from 1 in 2000 to 14 in 2006.
Similar trends were observed in HDFC Bank too. Internet transactions rose from 3% to 16% and 40% of the internet transactions happen between non-banking hours in between 6:00PM and 8:00PM.

| BSNL Temporary Broadband Connection |
|
 You asked for it and they responded. Most Indian geeks from the US, while visiting India, often feel frustrated without a high speed broadband connection at home. BSNL has introduced a short-term broadband plan for such users. All you need to have is a BSNL land phone on which a 512 Kbps connection will be activated.
You will be charged Rs 1,000 for the connection. Their are two plans, one upto a week and other upto a month. Check out BSNL announcement for more information. What is not clear is does it include the Modem rental and installation charges ? Such scheme is not available with Airtel however, Tata Indicom has a plan based on the usage hours so their is not much choice for the consumer for broadband internet access in India yet.Labels: BSNL Broadband |

| Microsoft and Skype lobby for VoIP |
|
Microsoft and Skype have asked the TRAI to remove all the barriers for use of VoIP technology in India. Currently, Indian Internet users can make VoIP calls between PC and PC or PC to a phone outside India but not to a phone [Fixed Line or Mobile] within India.
In a letter submitted to TRAI, they have said
Any revenue loss would be more than compensated for by revenues generated by overall economic gains, taxes on new broadband and e-commerce services, efficiency savings and by e-enabling government departments.
Hopefully, VoIP all barriers will be lifted soon.Labels: Skype, VoIP India |
