Concentrating More on 4G & Tech Trends

This year 2014 turned to be a hectic from the beginning, hence no post on my own blog and very few posts on Telecomtalk.

However as I am getting busy with my work schedule (which actually pays me) I have planned a way-out to balance my interest and work. For some time I don't write on regular topics, rather 4G and other tech trends are my attraction on telecom space.

Photography remains one of the coolest thing in my life. I keep snapping pictures as I wander across Kolkata's streets during night. Check out on Viewbug

Chromium Variant Browsers

When I was first introduced to internet, that was over a mere 128kbps cyber cafe. Later when I moved to use internet on home, that was dial up - just 40kbps. The hunt of better browser was started that day and I soon ditched that faggot oldie Internet Explorer.

Firefox was my first of few browsers I tried that time. I also understand some browsers like Avant and Maxthon were better than IE though both are using IE's Trident engine. But when Opera goes free, I find that it is best in terms of speed and customerization.

However in 2008 Google introduced Chrome, a browser based on Chromium project, which itself uses WebKit engine. From world's most popular search engine to a software giant, Google has seen Chrome's aggressive growth across world.

Currently there are several browsers based on Chrome on Windows, and many more on MacOS and Android.

All Stuffs About MTS 3GPLUS and MBLAZE ULTRA

MTS India, the Indian telecom service provider of Russian Sistema has launched its next generation high speed data network in 9 circles where it's operating.

Why is 3GPlus?

MTS is already offering EVDO Rev B Phase II services in Rajasthan circle under MBlaze Ultra or simply Ultra brand name. So why does it create hype with 3GPlus? The reason is pretty simple. Due to regulatory issues CDMA operators can not say EVDO as 3G technology, that's a problem in marketing their HSD services against GSM operators' 3G/WCDMA/UMTS/HSPA services.

But MTS got the unified license, so that there is no technology restriction. That's why now they can say EVDO as 3G.

October 2013: Reliance 3G Speedtest in Barrackpore, West Bengal

Though I did Reliance 3G speedtests earlier in early 2011, I did this to check Reliance's network congestion after the company rolled out 3G@2G plans. I was using 1GB data plan for Rs 123.

I used several servers - some Indian and some overseas. Reliance showed awesome results with most Indian servers, while the overseas servers get good enough performance. 

How to check 3G data balance: send MBAL to 55333. You will get instant notification with remaining data usage details.

আমার মাঝে মাঝে বেশ জমিয়ে বাংলাতে ব্লগ লিখতে ইচ্ছা করে। সফটওয়্যার তো আছেই - অভ্র কিবোর্ড। কিন্তু অন্য অনেক বাঙ্গালির মতোই আমি কুঁড়ে। তাই আর লেখা হয়না। যদি বলি সময় পাই না তাই লিখি না মিথ্যে কথা বলা হবে। এখন অভ্র তেই টাইপ করছি - দেখলাম যে ভুল বানান গুলো অভ্র নিজেই ঠিক করে দিচ্ছে, কাজেই বাংলাতে টাইপ করাটা এখন কিছুই না! Unicode support থাকলে বাংলাতে টাইপ করা বা পোস্ট করা কোন ব্যাপারই না। অনেক সাইট/ব্লগ এভাবেই চলছে।

অনেকদিন আগে আমি আনন্দবাজারের ওয়েবসাইট এ ইউনিকোড সাপোর্ট না পেয়ে একটা ব্লগ পোস্ট করেছিলাম। তার কদিন বাদেই দেখলাম আনন্দবাজার এর ইউনিকোড সাপোর্ট সহ একটা প্রক্সি সাইট মার্কেট এ চলে এসেছে। ... যদিও পরে আনন্দবাজার নিজেরাই ইউনিকোড সাপোর্টেট সাইট লঞ্চ করে। 

Recently আমি বেশ কিছু বাংলা সাইট এর সংস্পর্শে এসেছি। প্রায় সবকটিই bookmark করে রাখার মত। কিছু সাইট আছে সেগুলো বাংলাতে নয় তবুও কোন না কোন কারণে ফাটাফাটি।

আপাতত আমি এই ব্লগ পোস্ট টা publish করে দিচ্ছি, পরে আবার আপডেট করব।
