NC in tight spot over ally Cong's assertions
Mallikarjun Kharge's assertions that nobody in his party talked about restoration of Article 370 has put its alliance partner in J&K, National Conference, in a tight spot. NC has maintained that the resolution on special status passed by the J&K assembly earlier this month is for the restoration of Article 370 and 35 (A). Opposition PDP, PC and other regional parties have asked NC to clear its stand on the issue as Congress is providing support to the NC government here and has welcomed the resolution, but called it as a resolution for «restoration of statehood and not Article 370». «NC Resolution is hardly three sentences and we are seeing so many conflicting interpretations of this resolution from their allies.

Chipmakers, telcos clash over 6GHz band for Wi-Fi 7 rollout
Chipmakers like Qualcomm are pushing the Indian government to delicense a portion of the 6GHz spectrum band to support the latest Wi-Fi 7 technology. However, telecom operators are mounting a pushback seeking for the band to remain licensed and available for cellular connectivity. As a result, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has been putting off its decision on delicensing the band with telecom operators, broadband providers as well as the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) caught in the tussle. So, Wi-Fi 7 enabled products are not being allowed to enter the market, with the PlayStation 5 Pro the most recent example. To work around this, chipset makers like Qualcomm and MediaTek are pushing ahead with Wi-Fi 7 products in India. A top Qualcomm executive said that gearmakers are currently working around the ban by not opting for 6GHz support in new routers. Instead, they continue to support 2.5GHz and 5GHz bands which are combined to give a higher bandwidth. The 6GHz spectrum, which spans from 5925-7125MHz, is considered ideal for both 5G services and Wi-Fi use due to its capability to deliver higher bandwidth. Telcos fear that free use of the band for Wi-Fi would eat into their revenue. Even ISRO has raised concerns about potential interference with its satellite operations if the band is used for cellular connectivity.

Indian companies must up their game for tech-abled next-gen momentum diversification
Swiggy piloted a services marketplace, Yello, for astrologers, therapists, etc, as well as Rare, a premium ticketing service for events and restaurants. While patently unrelated to Swiggy's core ensemble, the new entities are systematically attracting existing customers with newer offerings. Such next-gen business growth strategies, joysticked by scalable technology, can be classified as 'momentum diversification' (MD). Historically, brand diversifications were based on existing competencies, 'line' or 'imagery' driven. Line extensions are amply defined by the never-ending variety of aerated drinks in Coca-Cola's and PepsiCo's portfolios, not to mention the innumerable iPhone iterations. Imagery extensions originate from category-agnostic customer associations, such as couturier Giorgio Armani launching perfumes, or Porsche designing mobile phones. Line-ups scarcely conceal legacy connectivity, whether competency-based or appeal-driven, and are invariably subject to the scathing scrutiny of the boardroom and armchair marketers. MD is the outcome of a booming alliance of personal technology and customer-centricity. An established trust-cum-convenience equation with a substantial consuming class can be the foundation for unlimited opportunities, undeterred by draconian filters of brand suitability. Here, trust is the consistent delivery of measurable value, and convenience, a smooth process that facilitates access and choice.

Auction to make Indian telcos competitive against foreign cos; Starlink, Kuiper capacity larger than local players: Jio
Spectrum auction will enable local entities to compete with foreign satellite players who can potentially block entry of Indian companies into Satcom space in future, Reliance Jio said in a letter to telecom regulator Trai on Friday. While opposing the proposal to allocate spectrum to Satcom players without auction, Jio said that Elon Musk-owned Starlink and Amazon's Kuiper combined Satcom bandwidth is more than the capacity built by all three leading Indian telecom operators over the years. «Assignment through the auction will provide an opportunity for Indian entities to directly compete with foreign entities, who have blocked First come First Served based ITU (International Telecommunication Union) priority list, and plan their own constellation. In the absence of clarity and certainty of spectrum assignment/priority, no Indian entity will ever be able to launch its own NGSO ( non-geostationary orbit) constellation,» Jio said.
