Out of phone!

I am out of phone, since last 5 hours. And there is only one thought in my mind, how much I have been depending on that small instrument!!

iOS is not re-installing on my iPhone and I kept on trying to install, without success. I did some research and reading on internet, but none of the articles gave any direction.

The new technology has given us great access to information all the times, ability to connect to the world and know. And I am been connected to internet just to substitute my phone off-time.

Actually, phone is no more an instrument it was meant to, to get-receive the phone calls. It has been converted in to an instrument which keeps you hooked up, or wired up!! This is why per minute usage of each subscriber of all major telecom companies have increased much. Plus, there is a clear business model to sell more data services than voice.

Look at Bharati Airtel, how successfully Airtel have expanded in to Africa and mad Zen Telecom a profitable enterprise. It was an interesting business model and they have successfully put together the revenue and cost structure in place.

An interesting comparison here is Telenor. Telenor has been successful elsewhere in the World, wherever it entered. Except India; where Uninor has not been profitable so far and there seems to be some issues with that operation. Recent cancellation of 2G spectrum allocated to Uninor has put that business in to tighter spot. Its global experience seems not helping Telenor.

Question back is, how much we are depending on gadgets?
