  • afone can diversify into fixed line telephony, and start offering broadband (ADSL2+) services to the Hutch-Essar subscriber base, given their skew towards the upper crust of the telephony market. It can also help boost the ARPU from current $8 or so a month. Offering broadband, and then bundling it with a Wi-Fi-enabled residential gateway that can also support voice services.
  • The price of music will likely not fall in the near term to absolutely zero. Charging any price at all requires the use of credit cards and their minimum fees of $0.20 or more per transaction, for example. And services like iTunes and Amazon can continue to charge something for quality of service. With P2P networks you don’t really know what you are getting until you download it. It could, for example, be a virus. Or a poor quality copy. Many users will be willing to pay to avoid those hassles. But as long as BitTorrent exists, or simple music search engines like Skreemr allow users to find and download virtually any song in seconds, they won’t be able to charge much.

Google Pre-Launches New iPhone Interface

  • couple of bugs I found. Initially, the web results were not showing up but images, local and news were fine. They seem to have fixed the issue.
    Another issue is, when I click on Reader tab from the homepage, it displays a sub-menu with AllItems, Feeds and tags. But there is another menu on the Google reader page that says the same. To me this is wastage of useful screen real estate and annoying to eyes too.

Google Announces Fastest Growing Search Terms

  • The queries are below. It’s not clear how different these will be from the year-end Zeitgeist list. Last year Google described how they came up with the list: “we looked for those searches that were very popular in 2006 but were not as popular in 2005 — the explosive queries, the topics that everyone obsessed over. To come up with this list, we looked at several thousand of 2006’s most popular searches, and ranked them based on how much their popularity increased compared to 2005.” That sounds a lot like how this list would be compiled.
