My friend, this is my first post in lovely song category and i am starting with contemporary most popular songs. What came across my mind is this song. A lover who was very desparate to meet his beloved, she is far away from him. What he does? he does long journey of many miles and reached where love of his live lives, then he starts asking god to help him so that he can take a glimps of her beloved. This song belongs to Love - Aaj Kaal, Bollywood movie, and song's title is aaj din chadhera.
ajj din chadheya tere rang warga - (2)
phul sa hai khila aaj din
rabba mere din yeh na dhale, woh jo mujhe khwaab mein mile
use tu lagaade abb gale, tenu dil da waasta
rabba aaya dar de yaar de, saara jahaan chod chad ke
mere sapane sawaar de, tennu dil da waasta
ajj din chadheya, tere rang warga
(baksha gunaaho ko, sunake duwaao ko
rabba pyaar hai tune sab ko hi de diya
meri bhi aahon ko, sun le duwaaon ko
mujhako woh dila maine jisako hai dil diya) - (2)
aasmaan pe aasmaan usake de itana bata
woh jo mujhko dekh ke hase, pana chahu raat din jise
rabba mere naam kar use, tenu dil da waasta
ajj din chadheya, tere rang warga
(maanga jo mera hai, jaata kya tera hai
maine kaun si tujhase jannat maang li
kaisa khuda hai tu, bas naam ka hai tu
rabba jo teri itani si bhi na chali) - (2)
chaahiye jo mujhe kar de tu mujhako ata
jiti rahi saltanat teri, jiti rahe ashiqui meri
dede mujhe jindagi meri, tenu dil da waasta
rabba mere din yeh na dhale, woh jo mujhe khwaab mein mile
use tu lagaade abb gale, tenu dil da waasta
rabba aaya dar de yaar de, saara jahaan chod chad ke
mere sapane sawaar de, tennu dil da waasta
ajj din chadheya, tere rang warga - (3)
din chadheya, tere rang warga
ajj din chadheya
Enjoy the song, Cutest emotions in this video,you can find and pray to god about love , Really very cute song.

Obligation – ‘help to others’ improves internal power
I am seeing Goddess in Mother Teresa.
Obligation or helping hands to others is not proprietary of any person or religion. When Obligations are done without any receiving back attitude, it improves power to face obstacles. There is one incident of mother Teresa. She wants to built ‘Nirmal Day ’ bhavan (hall) near kalighat, kolkatta to help enables, poor and aged people. They were inaugurating the construction with their supporters at that time the persons who opposes her gathers there and started shouting against them. Mother Teresa weren’t afraid even a bit and stood there without any hesitation.
With great bravery she told the mass that kill me if you want. My death is not issue on way of Ishu masih, but stop this and let enable and poop people leave with peace. Issue goes to police commissioner, and he told that he will go to the place himself and then will take the decision that nirmal daya bhavan will be constructed or not. When commissioner reached to the place, then he was amazed by seeing mother Teresa and her followers deeds, all were serving poor and enable peoples.
As fast as commissioner reached there, opposite groups people became happy. The commissioner asked that I will asked Mother Teresa to leave from here on one condition, you and your family need to start serving those poor peoples. I am seeing godess on mother Teresa. Obstructer group was stunned, and commissioner gave permission to build bhavan. Lesson of the story is only that, Obligation or helping hands to others is not proprietary of any person or religion. When Obligations are done without any receiving back attitude, it improves power to face obstacles.

Logic is an important tool in the analysis and presentation of arguments. It investigates whether assumptions imply conclusions, independently of their truth or falsity and independently of their subject matter. This book aims to apply the traditional methods of logic to contemporary theories of problem-solving and computer programming.
As an introduction to logic, the book differs from others in its use of the clausal form of logic. This has several advantages. Clausal form is simpler than the standard form of logic but is just as powerful. It is simple enough to be introduced directly, without the usual preliminary study of propositional logic, and it bears greater resemblance than standard form to other formalisms used in data processing and computer programming.
This book is not concerned with the mathematics of logic but with its applications. For an interesting and more thorough discussion of the relationships between logic and language the reader is advised to consult the books by Quine [1941] and Hodges [1977].

This book focuses on a specific engineering problem that is and will continue to be important in the forthcoming information age: namely, the need for highly integrated radio systems that can be embedded in wireless devices for various applications, including portable mobile multimedia wireless communications, wireless appliances, digital cellular, and digital cordless. Traditionally, the design of radio ICs involves a team of engineers trained in a wide range of fields that include networking, communication systems, radio propagation, digital/analog circuits, RF circuits, and process technology. However, as radio ICs become more integrated, the need for a diverse skill set and knowledge becomes essential for professionals as well as students, to broaden beyond their trained area of expertise and to become proficient in related areas. The key to designing an optimized, economical solution for radio systems on a chip hinges on the designer's thorough understanding of the complex trade-offs from communication systems down to circuits. The purpose of this book is to provide a focused, top-down treatment of radio system IC design with an emphasis on digital radio systems that will play a dominant role in wireless communications in the 21st century. The intended readers of this book include both engineers as well as students whose main area of interest or line of work lies in the design and integrated circuits implementation of wireless communication ICs, with an emphasis on the integration of an entire radio system on a chip.

EBay Is Said to Have Deal to Sell Skype
Update: The announcement has been made. Some details from the press release:
eBay signed a definitive agreement to sell its Skype in a deal valuing the business at $2.75 billion. The buyer, who will control an approximately 65 percent stake, is an investor group led by Silver Lake and includes Index Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Investment Board. eBay is expected to receive approximately $1.9 billion in cash upon the completion of the sale and a note from the buyer in the principal amount of $125 million. The company will retain an approximately 35 percent equity investment in Skype. The transaction, which is not subject to a financing condition, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Do you think Skype is worth $2.75 billion? Tell us what you think.
EBay Is Said to Have Deal to Sell Skype
SAN FRANCISCO — EBay plans to announce on Tuesday a deal to sell its Skype Internet calling division to a group of private investors, according to two people briefed on the company’s plans.
The investment group is likely to include Andreessen Horowitz, a new venture capital firm headed by the Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen, these people said. One of the people added that Index Ventures, a London-based venture capital firm that was an early investor in Skype, and the private equity firm Silver Lake Partners were also involved. A price was not disclosed, but eBay has said it wants around $2 billion for Skype, which is on track to take in more than $600 million in revenue this year.
Alan Marks, an eBay spokesman, would not comment on the matter. Mr. Andreessen is on eBay’s board of directors.
EBay acquired Skype in 2005, outbidding Google and Yahoo in a deal that has come to be viewed as one of the worst technology transactions of the decade. Including payouts to Skype’s founders, the price ultimately topped $3.1 billion. EBay later wrote down $900 million of Skype’s value, after it became clear that the company was not a good fit with eBay’s main e-commerce and online payment businesses.
Although eBay has said it was planning an initial public offering for the Skype division next year, it has been talking to various companies and investment groups interested in buying the service. Skype’s founders, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, approached private equity firms earlier this year in hopes of making a bid for their old company. But they did not meet eBay’s price, and separately the parties are fighting in a British court over ownership of the core peer-to-peer technology behind the Skype service. The case is due to be heard by a British court next year.
Last month, eBay also negotiated with Google over buying Skype, according to a person briefed on those discussions. But Google ultimately walked away from a potential deal, fearing that continued litigation could leave it vulnerable to immense damages.
Google also worried that owning Skype might alienate wireless carriers, which offer their customers phones running Google’s Android software, the person said.
It is not clear if Skype’s founders are involved in the new deal and have agreed to relinquish their legal claim.

* If you are not failing you're not taking enough risks.
* Don't try to get rid of bad temper by losing it.
* If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
* Those who don't make mistakes usually don't make anything
* There are two kinds of failures. Those who think and never do, and those who do and never think.
* Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.
* All progress has resulted from unpopular decisions.
* Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Open Source disk cloning tool : Clonezilla
What is Clonezilla ?
You're probably familiar with the popular proprietary commercial package Norton Ghost®, and its OpenSource counterpart, Partition Image. The problem with these software packages is that it takes a lot of time to massively clone systems to many computers. You've probably also heard of Symantec's solution to this problem, Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition® with multicasting. Well, now there is an OpenSource clone system (OCS) solution called Clonezilla with unicasting and multicasting!
Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partition Image, ntfsclone, partclone, and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency. At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting!
Features of Clonezilla
* Free (GPL) Software.
* Filesystem supported: ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, and HFS+ of Mac OS. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows and Intel-based Mac OS, no matter it's 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and restored. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla.
* LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.
* Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massively clone. You can also remotely use it to save or restore a bunch of computers if PXE and Wake-on-LAN are supported in your clients.
* Based on Partimage, ntfsclone, partclone, and dd to clone partition. However, clonezilla, containing some other programs, can save and restore not only partitions, but also a whole disk.
* By using another free software drbl-winroll, which is also developed by us, the hostname, group, and SID of cloned MS windows machine can be automatically changed.

Pakistan is creating nuclear bomb
One of the leading scientist has quoted in one report that Pakistan is busy in creating new atomic weapon, which includes One balastic missile and other two cruise missile capable of carrying nuclear missile. And the target seems to be India. Pakistan is also reactivating nuclear plant in chashma area, it is still hidden from the world.
More atomic bomb then anticipation
According to a documentary, Pakistan has way more nuclear bombs then the anticipation. According to a belief, Pakistan was having 30 – 40 nuclear bombs, but it seems the actual figure is 70 to 90 nuclear bombs, which is the cause of concern for both, USA and India. Specifically in USA, this may seems a huge issue for debate, as USA is helping a lot to Pakistan with financial and army related aids.
Breaking of Mutual agreement.
Experts are saying that if this news of nuclear weapon is correct, then Pakistan is breaking mutual agreement of south asia about weapons race. USA also said that Pakistan is modifying harpoon missiles delivered from USA so that its target will be india.

Cause of Concerns from Pakistan
- New balastics missiles can reach to may new cities which were out or reach before.
- Pakistan has already missiles at border in ready to fire condition names Ghajhnavi, whose distance capacity is 500 Kms.
- Pakistan is also going to include shahin-1 missile in its army,. This is modified edition of M-9 missile from china, whose distance reach is 700 Kms.

You Use 100-Percent of Your Brain
Think you're only using 10 percent of your possible brain power? Think again. A little critical thinking will have you calling shenanigans on that myth. After all, if you removed 90 percent of your brain, you'd basically be left with the thinking power of a sheep, according to Eric Chudler, Ph.D., research associate professor in the department of bioengineering at the University of Washington. Dr. Chudler has attempted to trace the history of the "10 percent myth" and written several articles on the topic. He reports that, during a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan, doctors can see what areas of the brain are being used, based on how much blood is being directed there. According to Dr. Chudler, 100 percent of the brain has been shown to have a function.
The average infant spends 18 hours a day sleeping.
If you have your own little one, though, you may have noticed that the sleep isn't consecutive (or, necessarily at times convenient to you). That's because babies sleep differently than adults. For the first few years of life, humans sleep a lot, but in shorter chunks, spending less time in REM sleep—the stage of sleep where the brain is active and dreams happen—and much more time in more relaxed slow wave sleep, according to the Society for Neuroscience. Adults pretty much sleep the opposite way: in long stretches, less time total, more REM. There's some evidence that the difference may be related to the needs of a growing body. Research has suggested that slow-wave sleep is connected to the release of human growth hormone.
Most people hit their peak bone mass at age 30.
Peak bone mass is the point where your body stops building up bone tissue. At that point, your bones won't ever increase in density. Men may be able to coast, but women lose a lot of their bone tissue during menopause and, according to the National Institute for Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, the lower your peak bone mass, the more likely you are to develop osteoporosis later. Unfortunately, as much as 75 percent of bone mass is related to genetic factors you can't control. But women can take charge of the other 25 percent by making sure they get enough calcium and vitamin D (particularly in their teens); taking hormonal birth control (which the NIAMSD says is linked to high bone density); not smoking; and exercising regularly—but not too much. Young women who exercise or starve themselves to the point they stop having their period also lose large amounts of bone tissue, and may never be able to build it back.
The average person's body holds 1.3 gallons of blood.
There's more than a milk jug full of fluid coursing through your veins, where it functions somewhat like a courier service. Blood is responsible for both delivering the things your body desperately needs—like oxygen—and carting off the things it desperately needs to throw out, like the toxic wastes that end up being filtered out of the body by the kidneys. And it does all of this very, very fast. The heart, the organ responsible for getting all that blood to move around, pumps as much blood as is in the body every minute; when you're sitting still, that is. Up your activity level and your heart can end up pumping more than five gallons of blood per minute.
You have 2 million tiny hairs in your inner ear.
Unlike hair growing on the surface of your ears, the presence of hairs, or "stereocilia, " deep inside your head aren't considered a hygiene lapse. Instead, they're a vitally important part of your ability to hear, responsible for changing physical sound waves into electrical signals that can be understood by your brain, according to the British Hearing Research Trust.. When stereocilia are hit with a sound vibration, they produce electricity and begin to "dance," stretching and compressing. In May 2008, researchers at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis figured out that this dancing, and the protein that causes it, is probably how stereocilia amplify sounds. If those tiny hairs can't dance, the brain they're connected to can't hear high-frequency sounds and might even be rendered deaf.
The eye has three separate processing systems.
New research shows it takes a village to help you see, according to the Society for Neuroscience. Right now, we know of at least three separate processing systems that help your brain make sense of visual data: One that focuses on shape, another devoted to color, and a third that takes on the task of interpreting movement and location. The Society reports that psychologists have found that humans can see and understand things like depth perception and texture even without color being involved. Instead, contrasts in light intensity help us pick up on this information.
Your tongue can pick up 5 different types of taste sensations.
Back in grade school, you probably learned that the human tongue can pick up four different kinds of tastes: sweet, sour, salty and bitter. But those textbooks left out another flavor sensation: umami. Taken from the Japanese word for "yummy," umami was first identified as a primary flavor back in 1908 by a Japanese chemist who was inspired to look for it after eating a bowl of seaweed soup. He found a chemical that is to umami what sugar is to sweet. It's monosodium glutamate, or MSG. But MSG isn't the only way to tickle your umami taste buds. Often described as the "savory" taste, umami sensations are naturally produced by foods like meat, aged cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms.
In 1900, the average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years.
Back then, only 4 percent of the population was older than 65 and, according to the Society for Neuroscience, most of them weren't doing so hot. Today, the average life expectancy is more than 77 years. So why are we living, and staying healthier, longer? There are a number of reasons, most of them related to health care. Since 1900, vaccinations have increased; we've improved safety standards for everything from workplaces to transportation; and we've developed medical breakthroughs that are making once life-threatening injuries, chronic ailments and illnesses curable, or at least controllable. But, according to the CDC, the biggest change has been in infant mortality. It's no coincidence that, as life expectancy rates have increased, mortality rates for babies have fallen by 90 percent, while rates of maternal deaths have dropped by 99 percent.
8-month-old babies have 1,000 trillion brain synapses.
Synapses are connections between neurons, the cells that control brain functioning. Baby brains go crazy with these connections, making many more than adult brains need. This way, the brain is able to learn what the most useful and efficient connections are, rather than having to have this information programmed into genes. If a synapse doesn't get used, it gets pruned away. By the time a child is 10, the number of synapses in his brain has been cut by half.

If a synapse doesn't get used, it gets pruned away. By the time a child is 10, the number of synapses in his brain has been cut by half.
Because of this, what people learn in early childhood is incredibly important. If a child doesn't learn to talk, which has happened in some cases of severe neglect, it's likely they'll never be able to, because the synapses that would have enabled communication were never used and therefore destroyed. On the other hand, if the pruning process doesn't stop naturally, as it normally does, even essential connections can get the ax. Researchers at Stanford University recently discovered that certain degenerative diseases, including glaucoma, get their start when the brain continues to destroy synapses.
The volume of an average adult's empty stomach is 1/5 of a cup..
But that's empty. Stuffed with grub, the volume of the stomach can reach upwards of a little over a gallon. Of course, everybody's stomach size is different, and that, combined with recent developments in gastric bypass surgery, has left some people thinking that skinny-minnies just have naturally smaller stomachs. But that's not necessarily so. A study published in 2005 in the journal Obesity Surgery compared the stomach sizes of morbidly obese patients with those of controls and found that the obese don't have bigger stomachs. The stomach volumes were largely the same between patients and controls. However, other research has shown that people who have a history of overeating also have a larger-than- average stomach capacity. The take-away lesson: Having a naturally larger stomach volume alone won't make you fat, but regular overeating can increase your stomach volume and create a cycle where it becomes harder to get full and increasingly difficult to return to healthy eating habits, which can take a toll on your weight.

care aged persons as much as children
'The Book of Mirdad' is the collection of Good sayings to own friends and folowers by Midrad. Mirdad has pointed towards many of recent time's issues. One of them is about our behaviour towards Aged peoples in Society. He told that we shows extensive care towards children, we take care of little things, we grew them with so much love. Why do we need to take care of children? Its because he is dependant upon us, so we need to take care of him.But take care of aged peoples in society is as important as our care towards childrens.
There is one very famous line from bollywood movie, and i would like to translate it for you. It says: "Parents took care of child as a precious diamond in as small house as one room, but that child dont want to give a single room in his wonderland to his parents".
Do you thing the point of view of the generation before us, for us is right? Are we really such stupid? Are we really dont care about our parents? I am very sorry to say but yes, almost 90% of us people dont want to takre care of our parents. Children and aged peoples need support of other equally. But fact is that everyone is ready to help children, but people wont help aged ones. And sometime rather then showing your love and gratitude, our generation shows hatred and carelessness. We take care of our dog or cat more than our old peoples. Is it what they deserve? we shouldnt forget that if they wont be there, we would not have been here.
Mirdad critisized by saying that, parents are very eager for his children to grow up, and more than that childrens are eager in worrying that when those unwanted and unrequired peoples in corner of your house dies. saint of bebolon, Mirad says that - today who are old, and who wants your hand for your love, affection. what they havent done for your life to be happy? How can you forget the mother who has taken care of you for nine months inside her body? How can you forget who might had sleept empty stomach, so that you can take your food well. who have done everything they can to fulfil your desire. Today thay are aged, not as strong as they were, can not take care of themselves... so will we leave them?
Just dont forget, what you do in this world, almighty has made arrangement to gave it back to you in this very world. You are also going to grow aged one day.

Gave millions to Pakistani politicians, reveals ISI
In a startling disclosure, Pakistan’s ISI has admitted in the court that it had distributed huge amount of money to political parties and leaders, including former prime ministers Nawaz Sharif, Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, Zafarullah Jamali and Mohammad Khan Junejo. The distribution of money was not confined to former prime ministers, but transcended political affiliations to include the likes of Pir Pagaro, Abida Hussain, Lt Gen Rafaqat and tribal leaders Humayun Marri, Nadir Mengal and Hasil Bizenjo.
The revelation was made by Pakistan’s former chief justice Saeeduz Zaman Siddiqui, who said this case was still pending with the country’s Supreme Court since 1999. He said the sensational disclosures were made in an affidavit filed in the court by former ISI chief Lt Gen (retd.) Asad Durrani. The Daily Times quoted Siddiqui telling a private TV channel that millions of rupees were distributed during former President Ghulam Ishaq Khan’s regime and ostensibly to convince political leaders to join the then Islami Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI).
The IJI, headed by Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, was formed in September 1988 to oppose the Pakistan People’s Party in elections. The alliance comprised nine parties, of which the major components were the Pakistan Muslim League, National Peoples Party, Jamaat-e-Islami and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam.
Siddiqui told the channel that he had said at that time that ISI’s role should not political. He said Lt Gen (retd.) Durrani had filed a written affidavit on July 24, 1994, claiming he had government’s complete clearance on the money distribution and had opened a number of bank accounts in Karachi, Rawalpindi and Quetta and a sum of Rs 140 million transferred to him as special fund. According to the affidavit, acquired by the TV channel, former prime ministers Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi received Rs 5 million, Nawaz Sharif received Rs 3.5 million, Zafarullah Jamali Rs 4 million, Muhammad Khan Junejo Rs 2.5 million and former Sindh chief minister Jam Sadiq Rs 5 million.
In addition, Pir Pagaro received Rs 2 million, the Jamaat-e-Islami Rs 5 million, Mir Afzal Khan Rs 10 million, Abida Hussain Rs 1 million, Lt Gen Rafaqat Rs 5.6 million for managing the media campaign, Humayun Marri Rs 1.5 million, Kakar Rs 1 million, Jam Yousaf Rs 0.7 million, Hasil Bizenjo Rs 0.5 million and Nadir Mengal Rs 1 million. Altaf Hussain Qureshi and Mustafa Sadiq Rs 0.5 million, Salahuddin Rs 0.3 million, smaller groups Rs 5.4 million and others received Rs 3.339 million.

How open should one be about secrets in a relationship?
They say if there is one gospel rule about relationships, it has got to be trust —without which relationships cannot grow. Trust means belief; it is about having no doubts with regard to honesty and credibility. This holds true not only between individuals but also between individuals and organisations. Companies are working on building trust as they have realised it to be more important in maintaining the much desired consumer connect. However, everybody have their little ‘top secrets’; secrets buried deep down the closet which they don’t want to part with. But how long can one go hush-hush and guard that veil? Just when is the right time to talk about that wild summer holiday in high school? Or that trek to an ancient cave with colleagues and what happened there?
Atik Agarwal has the all pervasive answer, “It depends”. Since that does not throw any light, he elaborates further, “These days, we have a lot of functional relationships which have no space for emotions or feelings. In such a case, there is no need to open up.” Adds girlfriend Ruchi Gupta, “But when it comes to relationships that are going to last life long, one should play fair and not keep anything away from him/her.” How does one make a call of being confident enough of sharing those ‘relationship-threatening’ details with a partner? “Take your time and reach a stage where love is more important than anything else. It is then as the events unfold and situations merits, spill your beans,” Ruchi adds.
Yes, life is certainly one big fat book and one can’t read it all out at one go. Fear of losing is also what drives many people to open up. Says student Ayesha Jha, “In due course of a relationship, as discussions arise, you can share your secrets. And it is better to be truthful because if your partner finds out through somebody else, you will be in deep trouble.”
But some people think otherwise. Dhrumi Shah, an arts student says, “Some things are not to be shared. I have certain personal experiences which I would take with me to the grave. If I tell all to my partner, I would have revealed all my weaknesses and god forbid something goes wrong; it can have a devastating impact on my life. Moreover, I feel what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” However, what Dhrumi might not know is that life is wicked. If she thinks one need not tell all in a relationship, her partner might just believe in the opposite.
If the understanding of trust and secrets is this crystal clear, why do suspicions arise and strengthen? What keeps people from being open about their lives? Riddhima Patel has a perfect answer which is convenient at the same time. She states, “Being open about secrets is not similar to confessing your sins in a church. Honesty is the best policy but add to it some discretion and tact and you’ve got the key.”

Riddhima Patel has a perfect answer which is convenient at the same time. She states, “Being open about secrets is not similar to confessing your sins in a church. Honesty is the best policy but add to it some discretion and tact and you’ve got the key.”
Reserve price for 3G auction at Rs 3,500cr
India is set to hold spectrum auctions in November following a speedy resolution of linked issues by the empowered group of ministers (EGoM) in its second meeting on Thursday. According to DoT sources, auctions for 3G, Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) and EV-DO spectrum will be held after a preparation of 90 days. The EGoM has decided to auction four 5X2 MHz slots of pan-India 3G spectrum at a reserve price of Rs 3,500 crore. TOI was first to report about the Rs 3,500 crore reserve price in its August 19 edition. It is additionally putting three 20 MHz slots of BWA spectrum at areserve price of Rs 1,750 crore and one 2X1.25 MHz slot of EVDO spectrum at a reserve price of Rs 875 crore on the block. “The EGoM has supported practically all the Telecom Commission’s recommendations of December,” DoT secretary Siddharth Behura told ToI.
Both MTNL and BSNL have already been allotted 3G spectrum and have launched services. However, these two public sector firms too, will eventually have to match the highest bid that emerges in the upcoming auctions. The spectrum auctions are critical as this year’s Union Budget targets a 6.8% fiscal deficit after accounting for Rs 30,000 crore of auction revenue. The reserve price chosen by the EGoM promises to safely net the government upwards of this budgeted figure.
The decision is also significant as it will permanently alter spectrum pricing, including for 2G, by moving from a government-controlled price to a market-determined one. In 2006, the Trai had recommended a reserve price of Rs 1,010 crore for 3G spectrum. This was later raised by the DoT to Rs 2,020 crore and subsequently doubled to Rs 4,040 crore by the finance ministry. The GoM has chosen a middle path by settling for a reserve price of Rs 3,500 crore.
The EGoM’s decision is important considering that industry association Auspi has been attempting to convince the government to increase the number of slots placed for auctions, thereby lowering its price by tinkering with the demand-supply equation. Auspi’s secretary general, S C Khanna was quick to accuse the government of spectrum hoarding by deciding to restrict the number of slots. “The reserve price is too high. They should have followed Trai’s recommendation of Rs 2,020 crore,” he said. It is expected that Auspi and its members will explore all its legal options to challenge this decision.
However, CEO & JMD Manoj Kohli of market leader Bharti Airtel said, “Bharti Airtel is looking forward to participating in the auctions”, he confirmed. According to senior DoT officials, the EGoM is also taking into consideration the Department of Space (DoS) arguments that the auction of spectrum in the S band should be restrained on account of the Defence and Railways critical mobile satellite network requirements and fear of interference between private WiMax players and secret inter-agency government communications. It is learnt that the approval for BWA spectrum has been given conditional to the assurance that it will not cause any interference with the Defence forces satellite network.
