Reliance has a far bigger list of covered towns/villages, it keeps me connected (mostly around 250-300 kbps, I suspect) in my small-ish hometown and almost all through the journeys to and fro, which is good enough for me. I use it with my Ubuntu netbook, and you don't even have to use wvdial. You can just configure it from the network manager applet (which has settings in-built for both Reliance and Tata modems - just enter your assigned number as both username and password).

[Ilugc] Workshop/Seminar on monetising IP
This is regarding the 4-city Seminar on 'Monetising IP' that IPDome cid:part1.05040207.04050705@lawgonindia.com is organising in partnership with Achromic Point who are the event management partners. Please contact ipdome.n...@gmail.com to receive brochure for the event at Chennai. The events at Delhi held on 10th Sept. at Hotel Eros Intercontinental, at Mumbai held on 24th Sept. at Hotel Intercontinental the Lalit and at Bangalore on 29th Oct. at Hotel Royal Orchid evoked wide interest and participation; the participants included Vice President of Mahindra Mahindra (Ms.Usha Amonkar ), CFO of Religare Technologies (Mr.Manish Sharma), Manager, IP of Teva Pharma and Vice President of Bry Air Asia (Ms.Sonali Dutta), IP Manager of USV Pharma, delegates from ITC, Philips Innovation Centre, 3i Infotech, Bally Technologies, Dynamaitcs and representatives from IT ITES Companies and assorted IP heads and senior Managers. The Seminar goes beyond the conventional defensive deployment of IP and promotes a strategic perspective of IP that transforms it from a cost-centre to a profit-centre. The Seminar has an experiential and hands-on approach to Intellectual Property targeting Value-enhancement, not just Value-protection and addressing RD and Marketing Managerial personnel along with lawyers. The methodology includes a Strategy Game in which two corporations and two consulting firms deal with live IP infringement and licensing issues that enables a higher quality of learning on a wider canvas, that has the potential to transform the IP Strategy in their organisations. The feedback we received was positive; many participants said that they gained a strategic perspective of IP and their learnings in the Seminar would enhance their capability to deal with IP issues in their respective organisations.

Re: [Ilugc] Wireless USB Broadband provider in and around Chennai
I have used Tata Photon and Reliance and both at the same point of time so I can compare. Both worked reasonably well. But the Tata device consistently gave better speed and robust connection. Reliance dropped fairly often; while the Tata almost never. I used it on a Mac and on a Linux Machine (Ubuntu, wvdial) CAVEAT This is based on my usage in Chennai only. /CAVEAT But in one respect Reliance is in my blacklist. Their service at the service centers is abyssmal. I needed copies of old bills and they simply said We cannot give you. (This is not the only one reason). Finally I surrendered my Reliance data card in mid-Sep. That required a bit of song and dance finally I did it. For one week after that I was called up by higher and higher (in their own words) level folks from Reliance asking why. I had to repeatedly tell them to refer to my detailed letter. After that stopped, the calls for over-due bills -- for October started--I am routinely called two-three times a week and everyone is so unsurprised at the fact I have surrendered the card and still getting bugged and billed. I am hoping to fix it when I visit Chennai, but based on past meetings at the Besant Nagar Reliance Center it wont be easy. SIGH -- Asokan Pichai *---* We will find a way. Or, make one.

You wanted to protect your writings. That's it. Please read my explanation to SAGarun's mail. I did and I feel that you're trolling, not due to lack of knowledge, but just to defend your stand. Let me explain: The post is not intended only for Software. It is an information for all streams. Infact in my office Majority of the computer is running on Ubuntu for the past one year. I have been promoting Opensource software among my professional community. *Using* Ubuntu has nothing to do with IP protection. You're using it because it works for you. You're using this reference just to disillusion readers. This is an information to pass it on to others who are likely ot be benefitted. If you feel this information is leading to patent troll. I am sorry you are misconcieved this information. Intellectual Property rights includes Patents, Trademark, Copyright, Design, Geographical Indications and Integrated Circuits layout protection. From the above, only Patents, Trademarks and Copyright are categories that constitute IP. Others (Design, Geographical Indications, IC layout) are specific examples of IP. You again combined the two to make it seem as if IP is a very broad term and there are so many things included in it. Even your blog is copyrighted,*Copyright (c) 2007-2010 Arun's blog. Sorry to mention personally. Unnecessary. Our Patent Act is not granting patents to software perse. So Source codes are protected under Copyright. Even when you want to promote your opensource software, you need a trademark[brand name]. You have to keep that brand name proctected in order to promote your software. This still does not justify you posting about this topic on this list. Your email did not have any reference on the significance of IP protection in the FOSS sense, so you cannot even claim this. Members in the list will also develop integrated circuits which can be protected. Members in this list will get married, have babies, go on vacations, get indigestion, etc. Do we start discussing those topics on this list too? Designs which you are creating using opensource software is protected under copyright and if it is a industrial design it can be protected under Designs Act.Intellectual property is not only Patents. Please look at the world with broad perspective. I have seen many people nowadays using open source software for their business/profession. That doesn't mean that they are not entitled to protect their products/designs/logo.* See above. Your email had nothing to do with the core interest of the list. If anything, it was offensive to a number of members of this list due to the nature of its content and the implied meaning of IP. If you intend to write such emails to this list, it would be a good idea to add an [OT] tag. Despite that tag, it would be a marginal call IMO. The list admins might want to clarify on that. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.in ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
Re: [Ilugc] FOSS Lab Setup in Vellalar College of Engineering and Technology, Thindal, Erode District
Today, myself and Mr. Balamurugan setup a 25 seat FOSS lab for Vellalar College of Engineering and Technology, Thindal, Erode District, ( http://www.vellalar.com/Engg/index.htm) for the department of MCA using Fedora-13. For any feedback, pl. contact Prof. L.M.Palanivelu / HOD-IT regarding the FOSS Lab implementation. First of all, i welcome this initiative of setting up exclusive foss lab. I have few thoughts to share here.. - Setting up a foss lab should NOT be an end in itself. Is there any result oriented projects planned? - FOSS should NOT be confined within a lab. Rather, we should explore how we can use foss applications for day to day use of the college life. eg: intranet mail servers, intranet wiki, intranet forums, intranet blogs, a knowledge repository,, Please excuse me, if these are already done in your college. (In my observation most colleges dont even have an intranet mail server). - There should institutional mechanism, where the department consistently works on a FOSS project, irrespective of students studying. ie, students should learn and contribute for the project, and when before he gets passed out, he has to train the incoming students.. by this way, we can generate continous pool of resources to work on any FOSS related projects. - There are many issues where Linux based machines could not be integrated to a windows network. (this is one of the reason why windows servers are preferred over linux).. Colleges can work on these issues with colloboration from corporates. These are just my thoughts.. although there are so much awareness created in indian colleges, there is no visible FOSS product coming out, bcoz, we lack product development skills. Knowing a technology is different from developing a product. Unless we aspire to develop products (either for research purpose, or for requirements of our society), we could not have the required leap in FOSS movement in india.
