Govt Gives Green Light To 5G Trials In India; No Chinese OEMs Allowed

 The Department of Telecommunications (DoT), on Tuesday (May 4), allowed mobile operators such as Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, VI (formerly known as Vodafone Idea) and MTNL to conduct 5G trials in India. The telecom service providers (TSPs) will be allowed to conduct trials with their partner original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and technology providers, provided they are not based out of China.

While Reliance Jio will be conducting trials using its own indigenous technology, rest of the players have partnered with companies like Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung and C-DOT. The experimental spectrum is being given in various bands, which includes mid-band (3.2 GHz to 3.67 GHz), millimeter wave band (24.25 GHz to 28.5 GHz) and in Sub-Gigahertz band (700 GHz)

Besides this, telecom service providers have also been permitted to use their existing spectrum owned by them — 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2500 MHz — for conduct of 5G trials. The duration of the trails is for six months, which includes a period of two months for procurement and setting up of equipment. The companies will have to conduct trials in rural and semi-urban settings, in addition to urban settings, to proliferate the 5G technology across India.

Commenting on the same, a Nokia spokesperson said, “Nokia India welcomes the government’s decision to conduct trials including in rural and semi-urban areas, aligned with the long-term vision of a Digital India. We are confident of our readiness to support our customers in implementing 5G strategy with the advantage of our technology leadership, our experience in serving customers globally, and our initiatives in India including 5G manufacturing in Chennai.”

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that was originally formed in 2013. Doge was built to be a friendly introduction to the concept of cryptocurrency for the general public/layman and had a 'fun and friendly' brand image behind it. The face of DOGE was the dog Shiba Inu, who became popular as the DOGE meme. It literally became a 'meme cryptocurrency'. Nobody in the early years believed DOGE would become as valuable as it is today.

However, Dogecoin has grown in popularity because of the community surrounding it. Dogecoin has an almost cult-like status in the crypto world. Popular celebrities like Elon Musk also supported and joked around about Dogecoin. More than anything, DOGE helped to spread awareness about the value and importance of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency among millions of people worldwide. Today, Dogecoin has become one of the most popular cryptocurrencies.

PUBG Mobile game re-launch in March 2021 india

PUBG Mobile India launch: After the Indian Government had banned PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, PUBG Mobile game and 118 other Chinese apps last year over national security concerns and anti-China sentiments in the country, since then, you all must have heard plenty of rumors about the game making a comeback and might re-launch in March 2021. PUBG Mobile itself has made some announcements in the recent past. The news may not be good at all for PUBG Mobile gamers. However, a new development is reportedly coming from the Government and this may disappoint many gamers and PUBG game lovers across the country.

As PUBG Mobile prepares to relaunch in India a new report from the news agency PTI suggests that Indian Government has stated that the ban on TikTok and all other hundreds of banned Chinese apps or those with links to them, will continue to remain banned in the near future. The report clearly said that the banned Chinese apps including PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite will not be available in India anytime soon, the bgr.in reported. According to the PTI report, the notice has been issued by the Ministry of Electronics and IT after reviewing replies of blocked apps. The government had blocked 59 Chinese apps in June and 118 more apps, including PUBG mobile game, in September.

The main reason for the ban of PUBG Mobile India and other Chinese apps was that they posed a threat to India's sovereignty and security. The Ministry of Information Technology had blocked the apps under section 69A of the Information Technology Act after learning that the apps are engaged in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order.

Since the ban, PUBG Mobile India has been trying to stay relevant with some teasers released during the period of Diwali. PUBG Corporation has repeatedly maintained that it was committed to providing a secure gameplay environment and the data of all Indian players will be securely stored.

Meanwhile, PUBG Mobile India rival, the Fearless and United Guards or FAU-G is set to launch in India tomorrow, January 26th. Earlier this month, the official title track for the upcoming indigenous game FAU-G was launched. The multi-player game was first announced by Film star Akshay Kumar soon after most famous game PUBG Mobile was banned in India. So, what is PUBG Mobile loss, is all set to be a major gain for Fau-G app

We are entering an era where productivity is not measured in time units, but, rather in-network co-operations, inventiveness, and responsiveness.

After many years of searching for a term for this economic structure, I found that Cognitive Capitalism adequately describes this change.
