Hi,

I am actually not too clear on what your problem is. You seem to want to
replace a series of values with another series of values. I suggest you look
at the if condition and see whether that helps.

[AI] India to have Do-not-call registry soon...

2007-03-25 Thread Amjad Ahmed Fitwala
India to have a do-not-call registry soon
NEW DELHI: India's quest towards setting up a full-fledged
Do-not-call registry (DNC) has moved a step closer to reality with service
providers and telecom
regulator Trai deciding that the National Informatics Centre (NIC)
would host the database for this registry.
According to sources, in a meeting with Trai on Thursday, it was
decided that customers would not be charged to place their numbers in this
registry, and
operators would share the cost of maintaining and operating it.
Trai is expected to announce the guidelines for the functioning of
the DNC in two weeks. Once operational, telemarketers would be penalised
for calling
customers who have subscribed to the registry. SMS's, however, would be
exempt.
NIC, which is part of the Department of Information Technology, now
provides the network backbone and e-governance support to Central and
state governments
and all other government bodies.
It offers a wide range of information and communication technology
services, including Nationwide Communication Network for decentralised
planning and
assists in implementing IT projects in collaboration with Central and
state governments.
Sources said that Trai would have another meeting with telecom
operators next week to thrash out the issue of administering the registry.
The NIC comes
under the DIT and both are not keen to take up the administration of
the registry. The Department of Telecom may be asked to take up this
task. Another
possibility being explored is to ask Cellular Operators' Association of
India and Association of Unified Service Providers of India to set up a
corporate
body to manage the registry, said a source.
Trai, in its recommendations, is also likely to ask the DoT to amend
licence conditions to allow service providers to impose a fixed penalty
(with the monthly
bills) or disconnect the lines of violators. Under current norms,
telecom companies cannot impose any fine on telemarketing agencies or
disconnect the
lines of those making unsolicited calls.
In a unique arrangement, customers who enrol for the DNC registry can
opt for a blanket ban on all telemarketing calls or can select the kind
of calls they
wish to receive. For instance, a member of this registry can opt to
receive only telemarketing calls related to home loans or consumer goods
products.
Trai, in its guidelines on the DNC registry, will specify that
subscribers will only have to inform their service provider to enrol in the
registry. It
will then be the operators' responsibility to register these
subscribers' numbers in a central DNC registry.
Many countries across the world have implemented mechanisms to reduce
unwanted Unsolicited Commercial Calls (UCC). The US, for example, has
implemented
national DNC registers and telemarketers who call a person listed are
fined.

[AI] Twitter: new instant messaging tool

2007-03-25 Thread Vikas Kapoor
Twitter: new instant messaging tool 

Enables instant messaging via mobile and the web 

A MOVEMENT, fuelled by the new messaging tool Twitter, is gaining shape on the 
Net. NetSpeak explores the features and potential of this disruptive service.

A variety of free communication channels such as the web, email, instant 
messenger (IM), blogs and Net telephony (Skype, Gizmo Project and the like) 
enable
netizens to connect with each other with ease. Also, efforts are on to invent 
new methods to integrate these diverse tools (for communicating with any
of these channels irrespective of the recipient's preferred one). 

For instance, you can send a message via email, which can be read by the 
recipient using his/her IM client. 

We have already come across such services meant for integrating diverse 
communication tools. The integration of IM and email by Gmail is an instance of
this trend. Yet another example is the IRC-Web interface project DiaWebLog, 
featured in this column a few years ago (The Hindu of December 22, 2003: 
http://www.thehindu.
 com/thehindu/biz/ 2003/12/22/stories/20031222006516 00. htm). 

DiaWebLog (http://www.diaweblog.com) helps its user post on to a blog from an 
IRC chat room (like this: http://tinyurl.com/2joa3u). In this context, Twitter
assumes significance. 

Twitter (http://twitter.com/) lets you send/receive small messages in real-time 
to /from a group of friends or the whole world via any of the three different
channels such as IM, mobile phones and the web. Though it is being projected as 
a tool for updating others on `What you are doing now,' Twitter's applications
in real life go far beyond that and its disruptive potential could be 
phenomenal. 

To use the service, just register with it, give account details to your friends 
and tell them to `follow' you. You can update your twitter page by visiting
it or by sending a tweet (a twitter message is also known as a `tweet') via 
your IM client or mobile phone. It supports IM systems such as AIM and Gtalk.
You can set up your IM system from the options available at the settings page. 
For example, if you are a Gtalk user, select Gtalk and set it up by entering
your Gtalk id. Add 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
to your contact list and go through the verification procedure. After a while 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]' will become green/live. Twitter beginners could find
this guide useful: 
http://www.webware.com
 /8301-1_109-9697867-2. html. 

To link your mobile phone with Twitter, you need to register the mobile number 
with Twitter and later send a verification SMS to a number specified by the
service. Once the mobile phone is registered with the service you can start 
receiving free updates from your clients/friends across the globe, on your
mobile. However, if you want to send updates via your mobile (from India), it 
may turn out to be a costly affair. 

Once you twitter-enable your IM client/mobile phone, the fun starts. Whenever 
you wish to send an update with the IM client, just click on the twitter buddy
and enter the message. It will immediately appear on your twitter page and also 
automatically prompt the twitter account holders who have agreed to receive
your updates (your followers). Each of your followers will receive the update 
on one of her preferred channels (IM or mobile phone) and also on her twitter
page. 

If you wish to receive updates from a fellow Twitter user with the username 
`her name,' just send the message `Follow her-name' to the twitter buddy. For
instance this author's user name is `jmurali,' and to receive updates from him, 
send the command `follow jmurali.'
