The FIPB board has advised the company to submit it afresh after the government policy on the related activity is notified. WorldSpace India will now have to wait until the notification of Government policy pertaining to satellite radio services, to offer streaming of audio music programmes on its website. The Web-based service proposed by Worldspace is seen as B2C (business-to-consumer) activity by the Government and hence needs separate permission. Under the current law, Web-based service requires the Foreign Investment Promotion Board clearance. The deferring will delay the company's plans to deliver the channels via its site, which would have spelt good news for its Indian music subscribers in? different parts of the world. WorldSpace India had stated that the programmes would be streamed, allowing it to receive payment (in lieu of subscriptions to the service) and revenue. It had also pointed out that the proposed service would only involve streaming but not support playback, storage or recording of music. The company wanted to promote the service, distribute and transmit content over various mediums in locations outside India as well. The proposal had come up for discussion in the previous meeting of the FIPB in April this year, but was deferred. Worldspace plans to go ahead with its overall organisational plans and without any major changes in its approach of business execution in India, While globally the company has been facing several problems, in India, the company has been? optimistic about future prospects, especially with the expected finalisation of the satellite radio policy. At present, World Space provides 34 radio channels in India that include BBC World and London-based WRN news channels.(http://www.radioandmusic.com) Own a website.Get an unlimited package.Pay next to nothing.*Go to http://in.business.yahoo.com/ ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 08:09:35 -0300 From: "Antonio L.

BBC World Service invites audiences to Save our Sounds Message-ID: <992270.77539...@web95402.mail.in2.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Iconic images of cities, from the Sydney Opera House to the canals of Venice, are etched in the public?s imagination, but BBC World Service is on a quest to celebrate the often overlooked quality of sound. From bells, to taxi horns and the shouts of street traders, BBC World Service?s new multimedia season Save Our Sounds is on a quest to make people around the world stop, listen and think about the defining noises around them. The Save our Sounds website - bbcworldservice.com/saveoursounds ? has launched an innovative interactive sound map. Audiences are able to record, and upload sounds on to the world map to become part of a sonic worldview and an online archive of global noises. Resident Save Our Sounds micro-blogger Kate Arkless Gray will be talking to acoustic practitioners and audiences online and via Twitter ( @BBC_SOS) , building a community around the project. The website will also feature regular ?sound challenges? and a ?desperately seeking sound? appeal?*. Later in the season users will also be able to create their own soundscapes in a virtual 3D landscape. As part of this season, a new two part documentary, Discovery: Save Our Sounds will premiere on Wednesday 8 and 15 July at 2030 BST on BBC World Service*. Presented by acoustician Professor Trevor Cox, this series features a range of experts including architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, sound artists, psychologists and social scientists, all concerned with acoustic ecology in the urban soundscape. The series will examine the impact of sound on people?s lives, and question whether some distinct noises, from street markets, to bells and street hawkers, are actually at risk of disappearing, drowned out by new technologies and generic sounds like cooling fans and traffic. Professor Cox also travels to one of the noisiest cities in the world, Hong Kong, where engineers are pioneering new approaches to acoustic management, as well as meeting an expert in the UK, who has been commissioned to create the urban soundscape of the future. Other BBC World Service programmes will be involved in the Save our Sounds season. Outlook, from 15 June will focus on sounds from five parts of the world which maybe in danger of disappearing, from the fish wives of Angola whose songs resonate through the streets of Luanda, to chai wallahs pouring tea on the streets on Delhi.

When I heard that CVC had moved Spanish to 11665 at 2300-0200, I assumed that replaced 6070 putting CFRX in the clear. Axually, 11665 replaces the last three hours on their other transmitter, 17680. June 9 at 2317, 11665 was VG with music, and on 6070 I could tell there were still two carriers with a SAH between CFRX and CVC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake check June 10: at 1345, barely audible on 9000 and just barely audible on 8400, and not on any of the usual higher frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. VOT, 9830, fair signal amid English to NAm at 2231 June 9 as Chris Lewis, England, was on phone for the n-th time on Live from Turkey, except this isn`t live but a playback of the 1830 broadcast --- and this time with no RTTY QRM audible. I`m sure it will be back. VOT still hasn`t even acknowledged my recording of RTTY way over them on a previous date. Also checked June 8 and the RTTY was on but VOT signal underneath was a bit better than it had been (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. You never know whether WRMI will be on the air or not during the afternoon: June 9 at 2231 check of 9955, it was not, when Radio Netherlands could have, despite its best efforts to the contrary, again been broadcasting in English to America thanks to WRN and this optional relay. I wonder if RN has nixed it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Another big summer sporadic E opening June 10 at 1344, with WWCR inbooming on 13845 and 15825, so another check of 18770 for the second harmonic of WWRB 9385 --- yes, there is Brother Scare, easy copy peaking S9, into clip of Obama talking about our multi-religious nation. At 1353 BS was offering a Kaito 1123 as a premium for donations. Still audible on 18770 at 1417. Back at 1345, this led me to look once again for harmonix from WWCR itself. Yes, 19960 is audible for the first time with Pastor Pete Peters, 2 x 9980. But just barely, fading in and out. There should be something on 14980 = 2 x 7490, but nothing detected there. Must make a note to look too for 27690 = 2 x 13845. And if a receiver tunes that hi, unlike the FRG-7, 31650 = 2 x 15825. And well into VHF, higher harmonix are quite possible from both stations when the Es is strong. No axion at all on hambands 15, 12 and 10 meters, tho CB 11m was hopping full of signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:35:02 -0400 From: Robert Wilkner <r...@earthlink.net> To: +d x s f <r...@earthlink.net> Subject: [HCDX] Logs Message-ID: <4a3018f6.8030...@earthlink.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed 10 June 4412.31 Unid carrier Harmonic ? 1020 9 June 4451.20 Bolivia, Radio Santa Ana, Santa Ana de Yacuma 2335 to 2342; off at recheck. tnx log by Rogildo Fontenelle Arag?o and monitoring by L?cio Ot?vio Bobrowiec . 9 June [Wilkner] 4857.41 Peru Radio La Hora, Cusco 2330 too 2355. 5446.5 AFRTS Saddlebunch Key, Florida // Guam 1015 -1020 on 9 June. 5765, AFRTS, Barrigada, Guam 1015 - 1020 financial news and ID for National Public Radio, 9 June same time 10 June.
