Hi Hari,

I am a student of the above mentioned course. Having done my internship at Rediff.com I am a little aware of the Indian Language Sites, like http://www.guruji.com, http://www.raftaar.com and ofcourse Rediff Indian Language Search.

Rgds,
Bisakha

Sir, I was a part of the discussion and have done a four month long question at IOL Netcom Pvt Ltd, a firm specialising in IPTV provisioning in alliance with MTNL, so that question about IPTV from me. Referring to the question about mobile gaming the greatest problem is the device incompatibilty. Most of the devices nowadays are MIDP 2.0, incompliant which limits the scope of these games only to high end handsets and students can’t generally affors high end handsets.

Nikhil, it would be interesting to note what do they use the mobile internet for. More specifically, whether they use it for local search. Also, would be interesting to know how many of them already have or are planning to invest in “smaprtphones”
