Broadband in India has increased many folds, and its growing roughly with speed of 100% every year. The rates have dropped with same rate every year as Big players like BSNL Broadband, Airtel Broadband etc have slashed their rates and have provided way better last mile service.
But still India has to go a long way as the Internet penetration in India is still meager 5% as compared to 25% in China and almost 90% in South Korea. But the signs are good and the country is certainly heading towards right direction as far as high speed internet is concerned.

Setting up Linksys WiFi router with Airtel Broadband
I bought a Linksys WiFi router last weekend. I had a small bit of trouble configuring it, although the problem was trivial, it took me some time to figure it out. I’m jotting down some notes here about what I did to resolve the problem.
The Problem
The beetel DSL modem installed by Airtel has the IP address set to 192.168.1.1. The Linksys router (and probably other routers as well) use the same IP address (192.168.1.1) as their default IP address for accessing their configuration page. This causes an IP address conflict and hence the router wouldn’t be able to forward IP packets to the modem.
The Solution
1) Insert the installation CD/DVD provided with the wifi router and follow the instruction for installing the router. During the installation (Probably at the final step) the router will fail to detect Internet connectivity. That’s fine, as this is the problem we are resolving. Leave the setup window open and proceed to next step.
2) Open your favourite web-browser and enter the following address in the URL bar : 192.168.1.1
3) The above step should open the Linksys configuration page. If you are prompted for a username and password, enter admin for both the fields. If you had set a router password in step 1 enter username as admin and the password you had set in step 1. Before the username and password is asked you might be displayed a page with 3~4 icons, labeled WAN, LAN etc. select the WAN Icon, enter the username and password as described above, if prompted for.
4) On the page displayed select Setup tab (most likely the first tab) and under that select Basic setup (The exact name/text might vary but would most probably be something similar). Scroll down and locate the field Local IP address. The default value for this field would be 192.168.1.1, change it to 192.168.0.1.
5) Scroll further down the page and click on Save Settings. Reset your router and DSL modem (Power them OFF, wait for 10~15 seconds and power back ON). Wait for around 1~2 minutes (So that the Router and DSL modem have properly rebooted).
6) Complete Installation of the router (Click ‘Try Again/Re-try’ in the setup window we left open in step 1)
You should now be able to browser Internet properly on the wired (directly connected) computer. Setup your Laptop and Desktops with WiFi Ethernet card/adaptors to connect to the WiFi router. After that you should be able to access Internet through them.

Use SMS to send email minus Net
BANGALORE: MyDuniya Networks on Tuesday announced the launch of an service which will allow mobile users to send emails, save and retrieve personal information and share contact details just by sending an SMS and without having to access the Internet.
Currently available for Airtel subscribers in Karnataka, the service will be expanded nationally and to other telecom operators soon, the Bangalore-based startup founder and chairman Jagdish Kini said.
The SMS-based application also supports interactive group messaging and allows files to be sent to e-mail addresses. Commonly-used files such as brochures can be stored on the company’s server and data up to one megabyte can be sent to e-mail addresses using the SMS shortcode 53695. “There is a digital divide between mobile users and web users. This service is a way to bridge this divide,” Mr Kini said.
MyDuniya also has a platform for enterprises and web portals to allow access to customers through the mobile phone. The company says the platform supports two-way interactions and can be leveraged to provide personalised information.
“The goal of the service is consumer convenience and the mobile market is our biggest market. We have launched our initial service on the SMS platform considering that SMS is the most widely used non-voice service” CEO Ganapathy Subramanian said.
With 260 million subscribers, India has the world’s second biggest mobile user base. The country has some 3.9 million broadband connections and about 32 million active Internet users.
