LG to Deploy MediaTek's Triple SIM Technology in Optimus Smartphones in Emerging Markets - My Take

Continuing the effort to bring most suitable mobile technology for emerging markets MediaTek Inc, leading semiconductor company announced the world's first triple-SIM technology for smartphones.

LG Electronics already partners with MediaTek for the triple SIM technology - it has launched triple SIM Optimus L4II in Brazil. Brazil, another emerging country has shown the interest in multi-SIM smartphones.

3G Triple-SIM technology allows for three SIM cards to be used simultaneously - ach can receive calls, transmit data, send SMS messages and remain in standby mode concurrently without consuming excessive battery life.

A key feature of the 3G Triple-SIM solution is its high level of stability, which prevents the occurrence of dropped or poor-quality calls, and reaffirms MediaTek's reputation as the leading producer of multi-SIM chipset technologies.

Personal Talk: Windows 8.1, WP8 & Opera 15

I know lots of things regarding housekeeping of personal computers and laptops and my friends often ask me to solve their problems with Windows. I still run Windows XP on my 7-year old desktop and my lappy runs on Windows 7 (I skipped Win Vista completely); sometimes I install Ubuntu on the laptop and often it is removed soon after specially due to its poor multimedia support comes by default.

However for last 1 month I found that a lot of people (mostly of my college friends and medical professionals) are buying laptops with Windows 8 and the real problem starts here. These guys do believe in brands and to them Sony and Dell are the choice of laptops while they never heard of Asus, Acer or Lenovo. Don't call me faggot as I spend time with these tech-retards!

Advantages & Disadvantages of BSNL’s ADSL broadband & Cable Broadband Services

This table was actually made long time back, I found it on my old writings. However I find this is good one to share. That’s why it is posted.  

 Broadband is going to be a basic need for people, though most people in India like the mobile broadband it is the wireline broadband that can really push the boundaries.  

In Kolkata for last 2-3 years some local ISP are providing services, like Alliance, Meghbela, Citi Cable, WishNet, Get Broadband, Kailash etc. There is similar trend in other cities too like in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru etc, Hyderabad has Beam Broadband, Bengaluru has RailTel.    

Here go advantages & disadvantages of BSNL’s ADSL broadband & Cable Broadband services:
 

BSNL Broadband	Cable Broadband (Meghbela, Alliance etc)
ADSL/VDSL/Fiber (in few areas)	Cable
Wide coverage	Area wise coverage in pockets
Dynamic IP for home users Everytime you connect, IP changes Disconnect > Reconnect = Good for downloading from file hosting sites	Static IP One IP is allotted for your PC No such advantages
Hack prone, your username & password can be leaked and used by others.	Username-password may require, but MAC address verification means it can not be hacked.
Just plug the RJ-45 cord from modem to laptop or PC, and set up dial up connection. You are ready to connect.	As LAN card’s MAC address is required for authentication, whenever you want switching not possible just that way, Best is to use a WiFi router.
Sometimes disconnection problem persists	Such issues are almost nil.
Unlimited plans sucks bigtime as BSNL wants to follow Airtel Broadband	Most of them are unlimited plans + night speed upgrade + Peering speed starting from 5 Mbps to ~80Mbps
Customer care over the phone sucks. Local exchanges can be a help if officials are good.	CC over phone may be good. But service depends on local cable walas. Make good rapport with them to get good services

The deal between Reliance Jio and Rcom is very big and with wide importance for both of the companies. The deal was announced by Rcom as it informed Bombay Stock Exchange. Rcom owns huge OFC network across India which gives Jio headstart to kick off 4G services in India.
