I can’t talk much about Satellte TV’s coz’ if my company finds out.. i’ll be in trouble.. but then..

Watch it, Big TV is really become big if rivals don’t step up. Leave aside marketing, from a software perspective, they have got an edge.Also, from infrastructure point of view, they are way ahead.

From retail selling to having much more bandwidth and more number of transponders… they have already a long term solution in place..

Just watch out for Bharti, that’ll pose a threat to Reliance as they’ll soon come with Triple Play..

Rest, just see how TV viewing will change drastically with in next 2 years.. as the preparations are going on in full swing

Quite a thoughtful post, dint try iphone yet, but can surely add my views on BIG TV venture by Reliance.

The marketing ideas could have been more logical, genuineness was quite missing in the campaign led by Anil Ambani!

@rishi: oh thats news for me..I used to think that the issue of medicines containing harmful substances was with allopathic ones only. Will do some searching on ayurvedic ones as well then, if possible, to see which ones to skirt around.
You are right, we need to have better acts for consumer protection, especially for products where lives are involved.

Heh, it’s the sad truth. =(. Also, from a medical perspective, roughly 20% of Indian ayurvedic medicine has heavy metal contamination (mainly lead and mercury). India really needs to get its act together on numerous frontiers.

yeah, thats true..infact there are many more (no tethering, no multitasking, no copy paste…the list goes on…) But I made this post because earlier I thought that their marketing team was really great to have sold so much of such a lacking product. But after seeing their ads here, I changed my mind. I thought ok, atleast when they are making an ad, they should hit on points that they can back up with something..That ad is just ridiculuous.

Add a few more to the iPhone negatives.

- no forwarding of messages allowed.
- no BT transfers
- to change battery need to send back to apple.
