Posted by jigneshdodiya on February 18th, 2007 filed in day2dAY, technology




Talkr provides a service that allows you to listen to your favorite text-only news sources rather than read them. If you can point us to an RSS or Atom feed (a machine-readable version of your favorite blog or news source) we will convert that feed from text to speech.

Talkr can also provide you with a podcast of your favorite news sources. This means that you can plug your MP3 player into your home computer once a day and Talkr will provide you with hours of audio content with no additional work on your part. Talkr will keep tabs on your feeds and send audio to your computer as those audio files become available.

it will sure hit the market, I think so

Vodafone’s entry in India

Posted by jigneshdodiya on February 18th, 2007 filed in day2dAY




Finally, Vodafone takes over Hutchison Essar.






finally Vodafone have won the Take-Over for the control of Hutchison Essar. This deal is perhaps the largest corporate deal in the Indian market so far. Hutch is India’s 4th largest mobile operator.

Vodafone, the world’s largest mobile phone group by revenue, put in a bid for Hutchison Essar that gave it an enterprise value of ~$19 Billion. It made an indicative offer of $16.5bn for Hutch around Christmas to Hutchison Telecommunications International, which owns 67 per cent of the Indian mobile operator.

Vodafone has been competing with three Indian groups for control of Hutchison Essar – Reliance Communications, Essar and the Hindujas.

The price is good, which reflects the premier position of Hutchison Essar as India’s leading operator. Essar, a conglomerate, that owns 33 per cent of Hutchison-Essar Limited has 21 days time to decide on whether to exercise its RoFR (matching the top bid) or the tag-along right (to sell its 33 per cent stake in the venture). The company’s India operations expects reaching out to 180 million mobile phone users by end-2007, up more than 25 per cent from 143 million now.

The Indian TV Media, right now, is pregnant with the Vodafone acquisition reports everywhere. It is reported that Vodaphone has offered Essar to become a partner firm.

As I too hutch user, I expect better service from Vodafone.
