Biometric Re-Verification of Entire Cellular Customer Base on the Cards

Telecom regulatory authority and government of Pakistan is considering to re-verify the entire cellular customer base of 120 million with upcoming biometric solution in order to straighten up the records of cellular subscribers forever, told us sources who are directly familiar with the development.

If put in simple words, the upcoming biometric solution for verification of customers will not be used only for new subscribers only but all existing subscribers will have to verify their cellular number once to keep using the cellular services.

Meaning that, along with new subscribers, existing subscribers will have to re-verify their connection(s) before a set period of

مائیکروسافٹ کا نوکیا کو خریدنے کا اعلان

دنیا کی سب سے بڑی سافٹ ویئر کمپنی مائیکروسافٹ نے موبائل فون بنانے کے لئے شہرت یافتہ کمپنی نوکیا کو خریدنے کا اعلان کیا ہے۔ اس اعلان جو کہ دونوں کمپنیوں نے مشترکہ طور پر جاری کیا ہے، کے مطابق مائیکروسافٹ، نوکیا کا موبائل فونز بنانے والا یونٹ 7.2  ارب ڈالر میں خریدے گا اور یہ خریداری 2014کی پہلی سہ ماہی میں مکمل کرلی جائے گی۔ خریداری کی اس کل رقم میں سے 5 ارب ڈالر نوکیا کے ڈیوائسز اینڈ سروسز یونٹ جبکہ 2.2 ارب ڈالر نوکیا کی ملکیت پیٹنٹس کی خریداری کے لئے ہیں۔ان یونٹس میں کام کرنے والے تمام ملازمین بھی مائیکروسافٹ کی چھتری تلے آجائیں گے۔

نوکیا اور مائیکروسافٹ دونوں ہی گزشتہ چند سالوں سے شدید دباؤ میں ہیں اور دونوں ہی مارکیٹس میں اپنی مضبوط پوزیشن سے ہاتھ دھو بیٹھے ہیں۔ مائیکروسافٹ ، اسمارٹ فونز اور ٹیبلٹس کے عام ہوجانے کی وجہ سے شدید مشکلات کا شکار ہے اور اس کا اسمارٹ فونز کے لئے مخصوص آپریٹنگ سسٹم ، گوگل اینڈروئیڈ اور آئی او ایس کی موجودگی میں مارکیٹ کا بڑا حصہ حاصل کرنے میں ناکام رہا ہے۔ اس کی ایک وجہ مائیکروسافٹ کا تاخیر سے اس مارکیٹ میں داخل ہونا ہے۔ دوسری جانب سام سنگ اور ایپل نے اپنے جدید اور منفرد اسمارٹ فونز کے ذریعے نوکیا کی ناک میں دم کررکھا ہے۔ نوکیا جو موبائل فونز کی مارکیٹ میں 80 فی صد حصے کا مالک تھا، اب بامشکل تمام 20 فی صد حصے کا ہی حقدار ہے۔

مائیکروسافٹ کو امید ہے کہ نوکیا کے موبائل فون بنانے والے یونٹ کی خریداری سے مائیکروسافٹ کی موبائل فون مارکیٹ میں ساکھ اور حصہ بہتر ہوگا اور اس کی ترجیحات کی سمت بھی متعین ہوسکے گی۔

مائیکروسافٹ کی تاریخ میں یہ مالیت کے اعتبار سے دوسری بڑی خریداری ہے۔ اس سے پہلے مائیکروسافٹ نے مئی 2011ء میں اسکائپ کو 9.3 ارب ڈالر میں خریدا تھا۔
نوکیا کے ساتھ یہ ڈیل مائیکروسافٹ کے چیف ایگزیکٹیو آفیسر اسٹیو بالمر جنہوں نے گزشتہ ماہ ہی اعلان کیا تھا کہ وہ اگلے 12 ماہ کے دوران ریٹائر ہوجائیں گے، کی چند اہم ترین ڈیلز میں سے ایک ہے۔

Microsoft Buys Nokia Devices Unit

Microsoft and Nokia have just announced that both companies have decided to enter into a transaction whereby Microsoft will purchase substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & Services business, license Nokia’s patents, and license and use Nokia’s mapping services.

Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will pay $ 5 billion to purchase substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & Services business, and $ 2.2 billion to license Nokia’s patents, for a total transaction price of $ 7.2 billion in cash.

Microsoft will draw upon its overseas cash resources to fund the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, subject to approval by Nokia’s shareholders, regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.

“It’s a bold step into the future – a win-win for employees, shareholders and consumers of both companies. Bringing these great teams together will accelerate Microsoft’s share and profits in phones, and strengthen the overall opportunities for both Microsoft and our partners across our entire family of devices and services,” said Steve Ballmer, Microsoft chief executive officer. “In addition to their innovation and strength in phones at all price points, Nokia brings proven capability and talent in critical areas such as hardware design and engineering, supply chain and manufacturing management, and hardware sales, marketing and distribution.”

“We are excited and honored to be bringing Nokia’s incredible people, technologies and assets into our Microsoft family. Given our long partnership with Nokia and the many key Nokia leaders that are joining Microsoft, we anticipate a smooth transition and great execution,” Ballmer said. “With ongoing share growth and the synergies across marketing, branding and advertising, we expect this acquisition to be accretive to our adjusted earnings per share starting in FY15, and we see significant long-term revenue and profit opportunities for our shareholders.”

“For Nokia, this is an important moment of reinvention and from a position of financial strength, we can build our next chapter,” said Risto Siilasmaa, Chairman of the Nokia Board of Directors and, following today’s announcement, Nokia Interim CEO. “After a thorough assessment of how to maximize shareholder value, including consideration of a variety of alternatives, we believe this transaction is the best path forward for Nokia and its shareholders. Additionally, the deal offers future opportunities for many Nokia employees as part of a company with the strategy, financial resources and determination to succeed in the mobile space.”

“Building on our successful partnership, we can now bring together the best of Microsoft’s software engineering with the best of Nokia’s product engineering, award-winning design, and global sales, marketing and manufacturing,” said Stephen Elop, who following today’s announcement is stepping aside as Nokia President and CEO to become Nokia Executive Vice President of Devices & Services. “With this combination of talented people, we have the opportunity to accelerate the current momentum and cutting-edge innovation of both our smart devices and mobile phone products.”

Nokia has outlined its expected focus upon the closing of the transaction in a separate press release published today.

Pakistan hit back to take series

All-round Pakistan hit back to take series

Pakistan 260 for 6 (Misbah 67, Shehzad 54, Chatara 3-48) beat Zimbabwe 152 (Waller 48, Ajmal 2-15, Rehman 2-23) by 108 runs 

A lot of expectations were heaped on Zimbabwe as they sat on the threshold of a rare series win against a top side, but they couldn't summon the temperament to beat Pakistan, who came from behind to win the series 2-1. While Zimbabwe's bowlers did well to restrict Pakistan to a par score of 260, the batsmen failed to put up a fight. Pakistan, in the process got a bogey off their backs by winning their first bilateral series in ten years after the series was leveled (either 1-1 or 2-2) going in to the decider.

The match took place on the backdrop of a payments dispute that threatened a Zimbabwe boycott. The players put the distraction aside to take the field, but the batsmen were nowhere close to competitive despite encouraging signs even in Thursday's defeat.

Brendan Taylor stuck by his faith that his side was better at chasing by putting Pakistan in to bat. The Pakistan openers, Nasir Jamshed and Ahmed Shehzad, put on their best stand of the series - 66 - to set the platform for another big score. Pakistan suffered a blow when their in-form batsman, Mohammad Hafeez, hobbled off with a hamstring pull on 12. Hafeez had been Pakistan's attacking option at the top, but with him unavailable, it was down to Misbah-ul-Haq to shoulder the responsibility.

Shehzad couldn't replicate the fluency from the two T20s but rather than hit his way into form, chose to play a steady

Voice and SMS Packages to Continue in pakistan

Update: Voice and SMS Packages to Continue, Only Chat Rooms to End

It appears that the telecom sector was yesterday stormed with the biggest ever mis-understanding, as a directive coming from PTA ordered telecom operators to dis-continue Voice and SMS Packages. Same was interpreted by media and the telecom operators with whom we had confirmed the directive.

However, it is now emerging that that only voice and SMS chat rooms are to get blocked, and the usual SMS bundles and voice bundles that telecom companies offer are going to remain intact.

This mis-understanding was spread across the telecom industry as we had spoken with at least a dozen telco officials who were equally shocked at the decision.

PTA’s yesterday letter which clearly read

Finch stuns blazing 156

Finch stuns England with blazing 156

Aaron Finch ransacked England's bowling with an eye-popping, boundary-fuelled world record 156 as Australia piled up 248 for 6, the second highest total in a Twenty20 international and the highest between Full Member teams.

It was a mindboggling display of hitting from Finch, who has six previous T20 caps, as he tore England's attack to shreds with a brutal display, in the process going well past Brendon McCullum's 123 as the highest score in Twenty20.

He began with a six first ball, picked up effortlessly off Steven Finn, and it was a theme that would continue throughout as he set a new world record of 14 maximums in his innings. Each of Finch's landmarks came up with a six; his half-century in 26 balls, his hundred off 47 balls, beating McCullum's record and his 150.

He was on track to beat Richard Levi's 45-ball hundred against New Zealand, in Hamilton, as the fastest on the international stage but after reducing himself to a couple of singles had to settle for second spot when he launched his 47th delivery, from Broad, for another six.

He was the first Australian to make a Twenty20 international hundred and it took him just 13 more deliveries to power past 150. It had long since stopped begin an even contest and the six had been reduced to 'just another blow'. The bowlers had no clue.

Picking through the wreckage of England's figures may seem a rather pointless task, but there are a couple of overs that stand out. Joe Root's only over cost 27 - he made the mistake of conceding a single to Shaun Marsh first ball - and Danny Briggs, on his home ground, was taken for 23, all by Finch.

The only England bowler to have an economy rate in single figures was Jade Dernbach, which itself will bring amazement from many. He finally removed Finch and also dumbfounded Shane Watson with back-of-the-hand slower balls; Watson after his 37 off 16 balls, in a stand of 99 in seven overs, which had gone almost unnoticed.

Finch and Marsh had added 114 in nine overs for the second wicket having come together early following David Warner's bizarre dismissal. Swinging with all his power, he top edged Broad's second ball and, in the process, lost his bat which flew towards short fine-leg while Jos Buttler settled under the catch. Warner then had to walk to collect his bat off an obliging England player who had picked it up. It was the high point of the innings for England.
