Government called on the
world to speed up relief efforts
after torrential rains
exacerbated major floods;
cellular phone users are
unavailable to talk in these
areas, no electricity means any
charge in cell phones thus no
cellular services for the
affected people
Telecom and internet companies fear massive losses as their network infrastructure
have been hit by ravaging floods and heavy rains that have unabatedly caused
havoc in many cities and villages of the country

Cover Story
PTA deployed Monitoring and
Reconciliation of nternational
Telephony Traffic systems,
helping in the detection of illegal
call terminations. This resulted
in LD contribution in the total
telecom sector revenue,
growing from eight percent in
FY08 to 13 percent in FY10.
PTCL, in order to impede the
declining revenue trend from
LD operations, introduced
economical packages for
international dialling

The self-inflicted cycle of
taking out new versions of a
product faster than the
speed of light has thrown up
a very interesting market for
consumers. The Galaxy S1

arguably the two best
smartphones in the world
HP TouchPad, it's a great piece of hardware; it has a fantastic screen; the OS is
superior to most; you can use it as a video conference device, as a Web browser,
as an ebook reader and for movies and music

n a physical or on-site
interview, your body
language and facial cues
also reflect your compatibility
with the offered position.
However, with telephonic
interviews, the margin for
error is quite less. Employers
perceive it as Either
standout from the crowd, or
STAND OUT
Telephonic interviews are not restricted to any specific level of job. Fresh
graduates to top-managers could be interviewed for a job over a phone call; some
people would consider it as relatively easier since you are not scrutinized by the
interviewer for your dressing and body language
