Further, Downloading during Night Unlimited (200-800hrs) is no longer free on new plans. I sincerely hope that bsnl does not remove free night unlimited feature from its current plans.

And if you still want to see those “crappy plans”. see below :

A photograph has touched off a flurry of media commentary — and bad puns — after U.S. President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy were caught casting their gaze in the direction of a passing teenager.

In the photo, the world leaders’ heads are turned to catch the “pink-satin-draped booty of a 17-year-old junior G8 delegate,” according to the New York Post, a shot that the Drudge Report website dubbed the “second stimulus package.” The girl is reported to be Mayora Tavares of Brazil, who was one of several junior delegates who had assembled for a group photograph.

Now you can take your data card anywhere in India and browse internet, the only condition is that area should have a CDMA network nearby. earlier, bsnl data card(NIC/EvDO) only used to work in subscribers home state. this feature makes bsnl data a true Internet-on-Go Solution. till now anyone needing national roaming had to depend on upon their crawling GPRS connections or internet card from Tata  & Reliance which costs a bomb compared to bsnl affordable data card. By enabling romaing is trying to compete with private telecom operators who provide nationwide wireless data service.

Now The Bad news is:
Bsnl has hiked monthly rentals by 15% for all customers. this hike is effective immediate for new customers. for existing customers, there is no change for now and would count getting billed at old price. but after six months; from January 2010. they would be burdened with increased prices.the revised rentals are as under :

Even after price increase BSNL evdo is a value for money product. I would recommend it to all looking for internet-on-go solution.

I believe it was the first time, such kind of event was happening in Jaipur. there was mad rush for the event & people even came from outside Jaipur as well. online registrations were above 300, which was many times than expected.

About the Event

The whole event was organized in just 10days by enthusiastic member of lug-Jaipur and supportive students of JECRC.  speakers were free software developers from various parts of India. the talks were ranging basic topics like “how to communicate on internet effectively” and to some advanced topics like Embedded systems. Besides the main talk there here hands-on sessions called hackfests.

Day 1

Reached the Venue at 6:00PM, had no problems finding the venue thanks to easy instructions posted on their website. Event was start by a singing Free Software Song and blowing balloons called “Winblows” . Boy! what were they thinking?

After this,  we were told to proceed to Labs for the talk by speakers.I had trouble finding correct lab since they are too many and without guidance it was hell lot of confusing. somehow I ended up in LAB-three. there the topic was “i-want-2-do-project-tell-me-wat-2-do-fedora” by speaker called  Shakthi Kannan. the lab was well equipped with projector,AC and most important all machines were running fedora! Sessions started with all of us introducing ourselves. the talk was quite long but not boring. after session was over, there were hackfest scheduled from 10pm to 2:00AM. unfortunately, i couldn’t stay for that long.

Day 1 was awesome, event was well organized and everything was preplanned. since i had such a good experience  – I decided to return for day 2.

Day 2

In Morning, I reached On time. to my surprise the event got delayed by 1hr. so i waited,waited and waited. finally we were called at about 10:40AM for talk by Lalith Suresh. If i remember correctly, he is not speaker’s panel, which was little. he told us about Open Source and its Ideology,how projects work, how can we contribute etc.the talk filled with helpful information and how can one contribute. a welcome surprise! I liked his style and Deadly PJs.The  two girlfriend theory  = high availability was pwnage!!

One thing I noticed and liked on day1 as well on day2 that the umber geek T-Shirts  guys were wearing. i liked one on which “127.0.01” was written. Simple and Geeky!

Next was Session by Shakthi Kannan titled – Badam Halwa of Embedded Systems.the presentation was interesting and well researched. i really appreciate all the effort he’s putting into it! Infact his talk was so good, that i decided to attend next talk  as well. during next talk, we had a announcement that some talk are rescheduled.

Sad news, one talk on Linux security which was looking to attend was dropped. due to changes, i had plenty of time to socialize. I even made a few friends there. After that we had a hand-on session on IRC and a talk on Distributed & fail-safe computing.

Conclusion

A event on Technology, that too on Free and Open Source is Dream Come true for me. Ask Why?

Because I always saw such kinds of event happening other bigger cities like mumbai,pune  and used to think when can we have something like this in jaipur. I want to thank all who made it possible and Jai pandya for letting me in

Hopefully, next year it would bigger and better. maybe a national level event – possible. who knows.

As a custom, here are some pics from the event:

The main points given in circular are:-

• • Every internet user in country has to register his wireless equipment with his ISP. All ISPs make sure that this rules is duly followed.
  • The Subscriber is fully responsible if any kind of illegal/anti social activities made through his Internet connection.
  • For Existing Subscribers, ISP would inform them about this directive and give a notice for compliance. if a subscriber does not follow, his connection would be suspended until he registers.

This move is implemented because of security concerns of repeated unauthorized usage by terror groups. But what surprises me is that there is no mention of creating awareness about wireless security encryption in whole circular.what really needed is banning open networks and encourage usage of stronger wireless encryption standards like WPA2 which cannot be easily defeated. if you have Wi-Fi network, i strongly appeal you to make it secure by using encryption – Read How to Secure your Wi-Fi networks.

Even if the Govt manages to create a database of all wireless internet subscribers in  Country. If is going to stop terrorist from using Wi-Fi networks?The answer is sadly “NO”. Instead this move would be a hassle for all ISPs and their customers. Also the person from whom the mail had been sent would land into trouble for sheer ignorance.

Anyways, as this a Govt directive – everyone has to follow it. ISPs have already started informing their subscribers.  Tata Broadband recently send an E-mail informing to all their subscribers . expect other ISPs like Bsnl,Airtel to follow.

what we really need to do is to educate people about risks of open Wireless networks and press them to use wireless encryption.

What your take on Wi-Fi security concerns and its usage in terror attacks?
