Himanshugupta, India is now focusing on innovative ways of providing clean energy, so practically even in elementary education itself, it has included lessons on clean energy. And of course, many new solar and wind power mills are in construction in many places of India.
What's that You're Watching? It is true to watch those fees and choose wisely, I remember of XFINITY where you can browse, watch and record TV shows and movies anytime on demand even on your phone, but you pay for it
Speaking about, it seems there is just a little confusion also on strategy to adopt; it was annoucend acquisition and then merging T-Mob, at the end the execution of that path is still in delivery, despite over 1 year is gone. How could they restore the confidential in vision for 2012 if tasks planned in a recent past are still not delivered?
I'm specially interested in those high-IQ networks Verizon talks about. Are they suggesting each device will need its own connection? and that we will have to pay individual bills for each one? Seems very irracional.
I don't know why Verizon is as hyped about it, I would think GE would be much more hyped.
Verizon needs to create enough value added services such that its dumb pipe won't be its only source of income in the near future.

Just recently few of the foreign and private establishments have now taking the lead investing in solar sector for an instance. I think, it is going to be a matter of waiting times to see this matured, where both goverments and the rest of private investors to part-take in such huge opportunity.
I am quite surprised about trends' list: not to say I don't agree with, but polling other people for example, it is a common and shared opinion gaming sector could climb in a good position by 2012. At the end it is a mix among mobile, broadband, intelligent handsets or hand-devices and social networks philosophy.
Yes,India is densely populated and has high solar insolation, an ideal combination for using solar power. although the country has made significant progress in wind energy generation,India lags far behind other countries as far as generation of solar power is concerned..
There are companies in Inda working on Solar panels, Solar water heaters and Solar concentrators , but I doubt whether any fundamental research is going on in any of these companies where a PHd in Solar can be employed. Most of these companies are applying the available technology & products from abroad to cater to Indian market
Yes in India solar companies are not doin great except i feel Tata BP solar is contributing some valuable inputs in this domain contributing very little to the overall solar developments.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
