Google was instructed by the US Commerce Department to cut off ties with the Chinese company and as result of which Huawei started working started using its own mobile operating system based on AOSP. This proprietary mobile OS has been called Hongxing OS (and ARK OS) that will be made use of in future Huawei devices thus replacing Android. There has not been any official reveal yet and it has been rumored to be faster than Android.

The keynote at HDC 2019 will turn out to be the best platform for the company to showcase its new OS. However, since the trade ban has been lifted by the US, it is doubtful whether the Chinese company is going to pursue developing the project. Details will be known in the keynote.

Huawei for the past two months had a tough time but now things are falling into place after US President Trump stated that the trade ban on the Chinese company will be lifted and US companies can rather start selling to them again. The Huawei Developer Conference will bring into focus the recent attempts of Huawei in gaining ground after its set back.

Huawei did face problems on account of the US trade ban, as several companies broke their ties with it. Yet it plans to improve its performance and this will be tackled at the Huawei Developer Conference 2019 (HDC 2019).

The developer conference will be a landmark for Huawei as the company will focus on a myriad of things, in view of the US trade ban.

The Internet is full of reports of the company working on its own mobile OS that happens to be based on AOSP. The Huawei is 60% faster than Android. The Hongxing has been designed to work with routers, data centers, network switches, smart home devices, and many more. This will be highlighted at the Huawei Developer Conference.

Along with Huawei’s in-house operating system reveal, one can expect the company to highlight its work on smart home, sports health, smart travel, EMUI, AR/ VR, and Huawei Pay.

Conclusion

Huawei Developer Conference is very important since it does mean that Huawei will again make a breakthrough after its set back due to US trade ban.

New BSNL annual plan for the Internet- offers 1.5GB data

BSNL has to prove once again its worth as it has had a setback. It is making genuine efforts to make a comeback and this does need to be appreciated by the consumers.
BSNL certainly appears to have a setback as it is not in its healthiest of states but the telecom operator is trying his level best to leave no stone unturned in order to bring itself back to track. In this context, the new BSNL annual plan launched for the Internet does prove to be of much significance. Despite all the financial situations, BSNL is rather coming up with several lucrative offers to keep its existing customers much interested and is also making efforts to attract more customers from other networks as well. This happens to be a good reason why the state-owned telecom operator is the only operator other than Reliance Jio in order to gain subscribers on a monthly basis. Efforts are also on to carry on this streak and there is another BSNL plan that does set to appeal to the netizens. The new BSNL annual plan launched for Internet needs to be taken note of for the efforts being made for a real comeback.

new bsnl annual plan for the internet- offers 1.5gb data

BSNL has rather come up with a new data plan that has specifically been designed for offering data benefits alone. The new plan does indeed cost around Rs. 1,345 and has also the validity of 365 days. With this plan, the subscriber will indeed get data benefits of 1.5GB daily for a period of 365 days. However, this plan does not offer any kind of benefits in terms of calls or SMS. This has been initially reported by Telecom Talk, and this Rs 1,345 plan is really meant only for subscribers in the Kerala circle. One can certainly keep in mind New BSNL annual plan launched for Internet and appreciate its intentions to prove well in the telecom market.

With this plan, BSNL is rather making much effort to try to appeal to those subscribers who do have a lot of requirement for data. With increased viewership for OTT platforms such as Hotstar, Amazon Prime, Zee5, Netflix and others, consumers do need more data. With plans like this, BSNL will rather appeal to subscribers for these platforms.

While a plan like this could indeed help BSNL attract more customers, it is still not as comfortably equipped as a plan from Reliance Jio. Jio in its all plans does offer free calls as well as messages along with data benefits and complimentary access to its suite of Jio apps. BSNL is indeed only offering data without any calls or SMS benefits.

BSNL has no doubt faced a tough spot presently. The telecom sector has rather seen a lot of competition off late from new players and in fact, most of the old players have suffered setbacks as a result.

One can take note of the entry of Reliance Jio in 2016 that has affected the market in a big way. While Jio’s predatory pricing may have been good news as far as its consumers are concerned. It has indeed been bad news for the other operators who have been forced to go for lower pricing than ever and do incur more losses.

BSNL has to take make constant efforts to rectify the situation and thus gain ground again like in earlier days what it was. Much competition has to be faced in the telecom sector and setbacks have to be overcome.

Govt considering internet monitoring through a centralized system

Internet monitoring through the neutralized system is being encouraged by the Government and this will help better internet trafficking and mobile facilities.

The government is out to consider monitoring internet traffic via a centralized system which is operational all over the country. This was disclosed by Parliament. The focus is on internet monitoring through a centralized system.

The government has rather set up a Centralized Monitoring System (CMS) for a lawful interception as well as monitoring of mobile phones, landlines along with internet traffic via the mobile network.

As of now, monitoring of internet traffic via internet service providers is being done through Internet Monitoring System which is also under consideration for integration with CMS. Obviously, much emphasis will be given toward internet monitoring through a centralized system.

The hub of CMS happens to be located in Delhi and 21 regional monitoring centers are operational across all the 22 telecom circles in the country.

govt considering internet monitoring through a centralized system

The CMS does facilitate automated processing of lawful interception order from law enforcement agencies to telecom operators. It does allow electronic provisioning of the targets without manual intervention of telecom operators.

There were about 3.8 billion internet users around the world in 2018. It is, of course, equivalent to 51 percent of the global population, up from 49 percent in 2017.

India happens to be the second largest internet market in the world. This trend was rather observed in the 2019 Mary Meeker Internet Trends Report. As a measure in order to look over the vast telecom network and internet traffic in the country, the government is rather considering monitoring it all through a Centralized Monitoring System (CMS). The concept of internet monitoring through a centralized system is indeed painful.

The digital monitoring system, which is already operating in Delhi and Mumbai, is to be operational across the country thus integrating various network service providers into the given fabric. At present, there are 21 regional monitoring centers that operate across all the telecom circles in India.

The order does call for an interception as well as monitoring of mobile phones, landlines and the internet network sprawling across the country. Integrating the monitoring system will rather eliminate the role of telecom operators and thus enable electronic provisioning of anything and also everything that is related to communication lines.

The development of the system will be undertaken in phases. CMS will also play the government agency between the target lines as well as digital law enforcement. In cases of national security issues as well as allied matters, the federal structure of agency will rather come in handy to secure the flow of communication in real-time.

The concept of a centrally storing communication data was first envisaged with regard to the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. With the CMS, income tax officials will indeed be focusing on having centralized access to the country’s telecom. This is how the process is envisaged like – all data intercepted by the Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) will, in fact, be a default transmission to the CMS. Only the central officials will have the required credentials to view the system and hence, they can somehow bypass service providers in gaining such access.

Will this be a breach of privacy? Media has in fact for the last few years, indeed discussed the cons of the system claiming it as an infringement upon citizen’s right to privacy as well as other human rights. However, the authorities do indeed maintain that the CMS will be in a better position to protect the privacy of individuals. Of course, in a country where corruption levels are skyrocketing one cannot guarantee the claims with an unregulated surveillance scheme. Also, there has been no public consultation much prior to its implementation, not even a parliamentary discourse.

On Twitter and Facebook apologies were highlighted and on Facebook, the company has indeed “triggered an issue” during routine maintenance, which has made it difficult for some people to send or upload even photos as well as videos.

In March, Facebook did experience the biggest outage in its history thus impacting millions of users worldwide on account of a “server configuration change”.

The breakdown of messaging services did hit hard the service, as well as business industry and millions, were affected and cost factor was also involved. Businesses had a financial setback.

Asia Heads towards 5G with India Being Challenged

India does face a major challenge when it comes to 5G and has to compete with other countries globally although it is not really lagging behind. It has carved a niche for itself in Asia in the mobile world.

At Shanghai, the Mobile World Congress 2019 was organized by GSMA, 5G. From the exhibitors to the panelists, the tradeshow proved spectacular and more so in Shanghai’s New International Expo Center where everyone harped about the benefits 5G connectivity thus being poised to bring to the users. In fact, in this context India faces some big challenges in order to get to 5 G. And for a good reason, as this decade does come to a close, the next generation of mobile connectivity is all set to go live in a lot of mobile markets, many of them in Asia. South Korea in fact already has a functioning 5G network, while China is expected to start 5G rollout in 2020. Five more nations are also in the fray to roll out 5G this year which include Australia and Philippines, while in 2020, Japan, Macao, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Vietnam are also expected to embrace 5G, at least to a certain extent.

asia heads towards 5g with india being challenged

India is also on the list of countries expected to roll out 5G connectivity in a limited capacity by 2020 even though India faces some big challenges in order to get to 5G.
GSMA’s in-house research team, GSMA Intelligence, has predicted that the Asian mobile economy is split in two groups. One group which does include nations such as South Korea and Australia are optimistic about the future of 5G and have already invested heavily in the infrastructure, while other nations such as India are being cautious about it and continue also to strengthen their existing 4G networks. The GSMA does predict that it will be the consumers, but the industries that will be leading the growth for 5G connectivity across the world. The idea of intelligent, connected solutions for cities, factories and the likes will rather be given much importance initially, followed by more people buying 5G-enabled devices.

370 MILLION NEW SUBSCRIBERS TO BE ADDED BY 2025

Asia, in fact, has been the biggest contributor to subscription growth in recent years, while India and China to make up for half of the world’s mobile population today. However, Asia will not be able to sustain the high growth rate beyond 2020 on account of saturation in highly penetrated markets and poverty, inequality and other social barriers in less developed and less penetrated countries. Despite this scenario, GSMA does predict Asia will contribute 370 million new subscribers by 2025.

CHALLENGES INDIA FACES

India can boast about over 750 million unique subscribers and happens to be a global giant in the telecom industry. The country will be having an additional over a quarter of the world’s new mobile subscribers till around 2025, second only to China. Yet, India faces some big challenges in order to get to 5G.

India will be able to offer affordable, sufficient and exclusively licensed spectrum across the three key frequency bands for 5G networks. The spectrum in India is rather allocated based on auctions.

In order to become a leader in 5G technologies, Indian operators do have to figure out a way to decrease their debts and also invest more in modernizing networks. GSMA does predict around 5 percent of mobile users will be on 5G by 2025 in India. Furthermore, to aid swift adoption, the government should indeed revise the spectrum pricing which is still quite high.

To improve the viability, GSMA does suggest India revise its legacy regulatory policies in order to suit the modern needs better, bring down the price of the spectrum and support operators with a new taxation policy that encourages further investment.

Major websites and internet services down a day!

Major websites went down on a particular day and failed to operate. This has indeed been a major slowdown and outage in services and cannot be side-tracked.

Major website and internet service hosting platform Cloudflare did experience an outage on Tuesday, thus causing outages for sites as well as services that are hosted on the platform. Cloudflare is aware of the outage and efforts are on to resolve it. In fact, one cannot overlook the fact that major websites are down due to a hosting-platform outage service has been partially restored and focus is on working towards restoring global service.
Cloudflare is no doubt experiencing issues and is an internet-hosting platform that many internet services do rely on to remain functioning and protected in the case of a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS).

This is quite evident based upon the website-hosting platform itself and hundreds of tweets from frustrated social media users and this has shown how major websites are down due to a hosting-platform outage.

major websites and internet services down a day!

Cloudflare happens to be an internet-hosting platform that many internet services do rely on to remain functioning and protected in the case of a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. An outage from Cloudflare does affect internet services globally.

Cloudflare is indeed partially restored, and the company is rather working to restore services globally.

Based upon Down Detector as well as reports on Twitter, websites and services do indeed experience outages around the time of the Cloudflare outage do include: Discord, Sirius XM, Network Solutions, Shopify, Zendesk, Coinbase, Canva, Soundcloud, Sling TV, Wattpad, TransferWise, Robin Hood, Medium, BuzzFeed, Streamlabs, Concur, Pinterest, and Dropbox. Some of the outages of these sites and services may not be actually linked to the Cloudflare outage.

On 28 February, several websites did fail to function optimally. While many may have cursed their service providers for the slowdown, the websites do claim someone else was to blame.

It was learned that Amazon’s S3, a web-based storage service, did face problems, thus causing an internet shutdown of sorts in the east coast of the United States. This highlights major websites are down due to a hosting-platform outage. Subsequently, prominent websites such as Quora, Imgur, Slack, Yahoo! Mail and Medium do go offline and did not load images or even ran slow. Amazon, in fact, could not even update its website’s status dashboard: its red colored warning icons were non-functional as they were rather hosted on the side of the cloud that had in fact stopped operating.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) does host images for many websites, in addition to entire websites. The ‘cloud’ is indeed made up of thousands of powerful computer servers that are being stored by Amazon and other players in massive server farms. The companies did, in fact, build up and also maintain these farms so that smaller players do not have to invest in this infrastructure.

Amazon does, in fact, enjoy the distinction of being one of the best providers of cloud services, a shutdown did result in the slowing down of a significant section of the internet. Amazon did refuse to acknowledge the shutdown as an outage and also instead called it “high-error rate”. Ironically, outage-monitoring websites Down Detector and downrightnow.com were also offline. An outage does, in fact, refer to the period when an “entire system” tends to fail to provide or perform its primary function. On the other hand, a high-error rate does indicate the repeated failure of a specific component of a system. As far as Amazon is concerned, despite denial, the entire system does fail.

Amazon has indeed rather revealed no clear reason for the five-hour disruption of services, though their tweet does confirm they have in fact identified the issue. Ironically, even the status does also indicate with regard to AWS service status page rely on S3 for the storage of its health marker graphics, and this also happens to be the reason why AWS has stated that all services were “working” despite contrary evidence.

Amazon has managed to provide an update about the issue to its users on Twitter.

VR/AR: Present and Past Glorified Applications

Experimentation has been on with regard to virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) and some companies accepted them while some decided to underplay them.

There is indeed much gossip about virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Although, they indeed are modern sophisticated technological applications and no doubt not many people are aware of the earliest iterations of VR/AR being at least half a century old (or even more).

One does need to become more aware of the history of this technology which has been rather spiced up with pop culture.

Small Steps with Early Beginnings

The first implementation of VR is indeed by some experts traced as back as 1838. Charles Wheatstone did find that the human brain makes use of 2D images which are viewed by each different eye separately, and they are merged together in order to process a 3D image. He thus invented the stereoscope, a device that that does allow people to see two side-by-side pictures through a pair of “glasses” in order to simulate a sense of depth. Although extremely crude, this technology is indeed based on the same principle that is made use of today for the popular Google Cardboard and therefore this happens to be the first VR headset prototype. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) has indeed been given much importance.

vr/ar: present and past glorified applications

However, the first devices that could really identify as fully-developed VR headsets are found a century later, during the ’60s and ’70s. In 1968, Ivan Sutherland did create the Sword of Damocles, a head-mounted display which has been connected for the first time to a computer that could indeed generate primitive wireframe graphics rather than simply a camera or a fixed picture.

Virtual Reality in the ’80s and ’90s

The ’80s and ’90s were no doubt an opportune time for technological applications which could indeed benefit mankind in several ways. vr was no different and appeared as unusual devices. VR back then was a huge fan, and was indeed had been widely popularized by tons of movies and comics that did depict it as being the futuristic tech that allowed people to live in a “virtual world.” In other words, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) has indeed carved a niche for themselves in the modern technological applications.

Despite being a fully interactive and virtual environment, early VR devices did not gain much ground. A lot of purported “VR headsets” were in fact merely rudimentary and extremely bulky 3D units. Even the most advanced ones were rather prevented by motion blur issues and poor head tracking and also ended up causing severe physical discomfort after brief use.

The Futuristic Age of Virtual Reality

One may take note of the fact that after repeated failed attempts of the early ’90s, at the dawn of the 21st-century one did not observe in terms of VR. A notable exception was indeed interesting, but an only moderately related iteration of this technology in the form of a stereoscopic 3D mode for Google Street View that had been launched in 2010. Consumers and developers did lose interest in VR and AR technologies for a while.

The situation did change considerably. VR games were in demand. The processing power of the newest high-end graphics cards does allow gamers to rediscover the hidden potential of this technology. In a matter of few years, competitors such as the HTC Vive, Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard started coming up with a new type of VR. By 2016, hundreds of companies were indeed developing their own different VR products which were to be used in a lot of different fields other than just entertainment.
