Karuturi Networks buys Delhi-based ISP provider
Mumbai, May 19: Wholesale bandwidth supplier Karuturi Networks on Friday said it has acquired 100 per cent stake in Delhi-based internet service provider (ISP) Estel Communications for an undisclosed sum.
With the acquisition, which was jointly promoted by a Nasdaq-listed firm and a Delhi-based business group, Karuturi Networks will expand into several locations across the country, the company said in a communique to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
Estel focuses on providing end-to-end network solutions to several corporates in the IT and ITeS sectors (BPO, call centres) and has presence in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
The company has also developed and deployed various SMS-based business applications for sales, marketing, finance, CRM, Supply Chain Management (SCM) and HR functions.
"This acquisition attains significance as it helps expand the client base and provide a major boost to the company's Internet Services and Network business," Karuturi said.
This move will contribute significantly to the revenues and bottom line of the company starting from the second half of this financial year, it said. Shares of the company were last trading at Rs 180.90, up 3 per cent, on the BSE.

The right connections
India's largest private telecom company is steadily spreading its net to other parts of the globe. With three acquisitions in the US and two in India, Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL) is poised to realise its aim of becoming an end-to-end global telecom services provider.
Within a span of three years, VSNL has acquired Gemplex, US; Tyco Global Network, US; Tata Power Broadband and Dishnet DSL's ISP division in India, and Teleglobe, US, thus dramatically expanding its reach and spread of services.
Networking the world
The Gemplex deal, which began as a strategic tie-up, enabled VSNL to offer enterprise customers IP-based international virtual private network (VPN) services to over 37 countries and 530 cities around the world. It also gave the company a ready customer base in the high traffic regions of the US, Europe and the Far East.
The takeover in 2004 of Tyco, a state-of-the-art undersea cable network that spans 60,000 kilometres and the continents of North America, Europe and Asia, catapulted VSNL into the big league of international telecom providers. "This acquisition was another positive step in our ongoing drive to offer global connectivity and efficient communications solutions for our customers," affirms N. Srinath, director of operations, VSNL.
VSNL also bolstered its internet business in 2004, by acquiring Dishnet DSL's internet service provider (ISP) division. This brought in over 600 owned and franchised cybercafes and a broadband ISP service, apart from consolidating VSNL's position in the dial-up ISP space, adding 20 operating locations to its existing 30.
In the October of 2005, VSNL bought out the entire stake of Tata Power in Tata Power Broadband, bringing its fibre optic network in Mumbai and Pune under its fold. The acquisition boosts VSNL's retail broadband services, and along with the Dishnet acquisition, strengthens its internet and broadband business.
Teleglobe International Holdings, acquired in February 2006, is the latest jewel in the crown. A leading provider of international telecommunications services to ISPs, fixed and mobile network operators, Teleglobe will make VSNL the fifth-largest global carrier of voice minutes. "The Teleglobe acquisition was based on key synergy areas, including complementary global infrastructure and product offerings, as well as a shared culture," says Mr Srinath about the $239-million deal.
Tele convergence
With these acquisitions, VSNL now owns and operates one of the world's largest international mobile, data and voice networks, providing 1,400 wholesale customers and 650 enterprise customers with coverage to more than 240 countries and territories.
Each new acquisition brings VSNL closer to its dream, of becoming one of the world's largest providers of voice, internet, and bandwidth services. But there's some distance to go, and other acquisitions may be on the cards. As Mr Srinath says, "We have not closed our eyes to any opportunities overseas."

Public Wi-Fi Hotspot Security Tips - Why Your Data Isn't Secure and What You Can Do About It by Wade Mcmunn
An "evil twin" can be a laptop in a hacker’s backpack set-up to trick users into logging onto the Internet via their "rogue" connection by mimicking the legitimate hotspot’s network name and login page (where applicable). Once logged on, the hacker can create fake login prompts for popular email and banking applications thereby stealing the user’s most valued login credentials.
What can be done to guard against such attacks? Look for connections that offer an SSL-encrypted login page (evidenced by https versus http in the address bar and a lock in the lower right hand corner of your web browser) that has been verified as authentic by public authorities such as Thawte or Versign. 82nd Street Wireless offers such a secure connection.
Security Threat #2: Unencrypted Wireless Data
Most public Wi-Fi hotspots disable wireless data encryption standards such as WEP and WPA as one user’s "secret key" can be used by a hacker to decrypt the entire network’s traffic thus making such keys both ineffective and unnecessarily complex for public deployments. What this means is that a hacker can view your data (email and web pages) as they travel through the air between your laptop and the wireless router using command line utilities found in certain operating systems.
The solution is to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) which creates a secure encrypted connection between your laptop and the VPN server. You can find such solutions at 82nd Street Wireless.
Security Threat #3: Inappropriate Configuration of Wireless Network Settings
Wireless local area networks were designed so that computers sharing the network could easily access and share data amongst themselves. As such, in many public hotspot deployments, a hacker can obtain direct access to your computer unless you configure your wireless network settings as follows: turn your firewall on, disable file sharing and turn ad-hoc mode off. Those setting can be found in Windows XP via Start > Settings > Network Connections > Wireless Network Connection.
82nd Street Wireless automatically disables others from accessing your device via what is referred to as "client isolation".
Security Threat #4: Operating System Vulnerabilities
As hackers are well know for exploiting operating system vulnerabilities, you’ll want to stay on top of both operating system updates and anti-virus updates which fortunately can be automated through the "automatic update" feature offered by the major brands in both product categories.
By employing the afore-mentioned security tips, your data will stay out of the unscrupulous hands of hackers while you continue to enjoy the benefits of public wireless Internet at your favorite Wi-Fi hotspot location.

3 Secrets to Avoid With Op-In Lists by Jane Cardinale
Aside from that, you also want to avoid any problems with the law and your internet service provider or ISP. There are now many laws and rules that are applied to help protect the privacy of the internet users from spamming and unwanted mails. With the popularity of the electronic mail as a medium for marketing because of the low cost, many company’s have seized the opportunity and have flooded many people’s e-mail accounts with promotional mail.
But, with an opt-in list, you avoid this annoyance because people subscribe to the list; they want to receive the newsletters and promotional materials. They have consented to being on the list by subscribing themselves, just don’t forget to put an unsubscribe feature everytime in your opt-in list so that you avoid any confusion. There may be times when an email account was provided when the real owner didn’t want to subscribe.
It is essential that you keep your list clean and manageable. Arrange it by using the many tools and technologies available for your opt-in list. Do not worry; your investment in this marketing strategy is well worth it with all the coverage you will get which will likely be converted into sales then to profit.
Keep yourself and your business out of trouble and potential run-ins with the law and the internet service providers. Keep your operation legit and clean. Your reputation as a legitimate businessman and a legitimate site depends on your being a straight and true marketing strategist. As a tip, here are three things to avoid when emailing your list.
1) Take notice of your unsuccessful sends. These are the e-mails that bounce. Bounced emails, also known as undeliverable messages, are those messages that, for whatever reason, were not successfully received by the intended recipient.
There are bounces that happen or occur because the server was busy at that time but can still be delivered in another time. There are also bounces because the inbox of the recipient is full at that time. There are those bounce messages that are simply undeliverable ever. The reason for this is that it may be an invalid email address, a misspelled email address, or an email address that was abandoned and erased already.
Manage your list by putting markings on those that bounce. Erase an email account from your list so that you have an accurate statistics and records as to how many are actually receiving your mail. You may also want to check the spellings of your email addresses in your list. One common mistake is when an N instead of an M is placed in the .com area.
2) Always provide an unsubscribe feature in your site and an unsubscribe link in your mails. When someone in your list files a request to be unsubscribed, always take that request seriously. If you don’t take them off your list and keep sending them your e-mails, you are now sending them spam mail.
When you are reported as a spammer, you and your business can get into a lot of trouble. You can be reported to the authorities and maybe blacklisted by many internet service providers. You will lose a lot of subscribers this way and many more in potential subscribers.
3) Do not provide pornographic or shocking and disturbing content in your newsletters. It is hard to decipher the age of the recipient and many complaints may stem from these. Controversial issues also are to be avoided to not be branded by your subscribers. Stick to the nature of your site and business.
Always remember these tips in this article so that you can have a healthy relationship with your subscribers as well as be kept within the boundaries of what is allowed in sending mails to an opt-in list.

Automotive Internet Marketing
Automotive Internet marketing can be done with a home computer and a digital camera or access to stock photos of the particular car that is to be marketed. More and more sellers are using the web as an effective way to sell a car, and as a result, more and more buyers are using auto web sites to buy a car. If car Internet marketing websites are developed properly, the consumer can type in the search parameters of the vehicle he is looking for, and an instant list of local dealers and local private people that sell that type of specific car will appear. The Internet has significantly changed today's global economic framework. Many printed auto classifieds providers have determined that in order to stay ahead of the new technological competition, they must at the very least make this print offerings available in an online format as well.
With over 250 million people "logging" on each day, it's no wonder people are turning to the World Wide Web for all their purchase needs. The Internet is redefining the nature of competition by blurring the traditional barriers of geography and time. Store location and hours of operation were once key factors in attracting customers; not anymore. The Internet is open 24/7. If a consumer wants to search a car Internet marketing site at 3am, they are free to do so. Automotive online advertising is primarily limited to local areas (cars are too big to ship). However, there are new businesses that will deliver a car for a price and some consumers are willing to drive long distances for a special vehicle. If there is an old classic that is only available in California, and the consumer lives in Michigan; there are services that will drive the car across the country or carry it on a freight truck.
The entire process of selling a product or service via the Internet is called "electronic commerce" or e-commerce. Among the benefits of e-commerce are convenience, increased efficiency, better customer service, lower transaction costs, and new relationship-building strategies. E-commerce is moving into the business mainstream. Automotive Internet marketing not only benefits the consumer (to buy and sell) but the dealers as well. Online car sites make comparison shopping a much easier task for consumers. Instead of going from dealership to dealership for costs of cars, a consumer can pull up multiple dealerships or private owners selling the particular car they are interested in and list them in an organized fashion.
Some people prefer to list by cost, some prefer to list by mileage, and some prefer to list by location in proximity to their home. Car Internet marketing companies that use the Internet effectively gain clear advantages. Among these advantages are lower prices, greater selection of products (if a customer wants a particular car, it can be ordered quickly with the use of dealer to dealer websites), and around the clock ordering options. It is safe to say that automotive Internet marketing has produced a favorable effect on auto purchasing consumers and dealers. Some sites even offer consumers the ability to apply for and secure their financing through the same site, providing even more convenience options.
Lending institutions benefit by an increased number of loans going out to various auto purchasers in all areas, not just their local neighborhood. Financing for an auto in Oregon can be obtained for a person buying a vehicle in Texas. This is a wonderful advantage that increases revenue for both the lending institution and the car dealerships. Some lending institutions are even offering loans to buyers for the purchase of a car from a private party. This is a relatively new phenomenon that allows the buyer complete authority and diversity in the automobile they want to purchase. Automotive Internet marketing has allowed a greater expansion to the industry of vehicle purchase. Lending institutions can set up a loan for someone and automatically deduct the down payment out of the borrower's bank account. The borrower can even sign up for automatic monthly payment withdrawals if they like.
With the good automotive Internet marketing also comes the possibility of the bad. Despite best efforts there are some disadvantages that can come with e-commerce car Internet marketing. These disadvantages include: disruptions in channel relationships, poor customer service, payment problems due to computer errors, and security and privacy issues. These problems are major areas of concern for most companies, and they try to address each issue as they arise. No system of marketing is infallible though, and as wonderful as e-commerce is, precautions should still be taken. Those that use wisdom and understanding before making any rash decisions especially for the purchase of a large ticket item will reap the rewards. "Through wisdom a house is builded; and by understanding it is established." (Proverbs 24:3)

Internet Marketing For Attorneys
Internet marketing for attorneys is becoming more of a necessity in order to gain more clients rather than an addition to an advertising campaign. With the boom of online browsers, people are turning to the virtual world to get answers for common questions and especially for legal information. Most government websites are currently listed online and include a lot of legal information pertaining to individuals and businesses alike. A great example is the IRS. Everything one must know about Tax Law can be found on the IRS website. They provide all of the forms and instruction books for every subject matter. Most people are even directed to the website if they call and need specific information. In addition to the websites, many governmental organizations are providing a live chat session with a customer service representative. Instead of calling to speak with a person about particular issues, a citizen can join a chat session, type a question and wait for an instant response. The money saved in telephone charges is enough to convince anyone with even a little computer user knowledge, that online live customer service is a better option. It is for these reasons that Internet marketing for law firms should strongly be considered and developed.
Most lawyers offer a free consultation to all prospective clients. These free consultations are usually comprised of an initial meeting and evaluation of the problem at hand or to review what services the client is seeking. Internet marketing for attorneys can cut the time spent in an initial free consultation in half. When a client first calls the office to schedule an appointment, the paralegal can gather information and direct him to a specific portion of their website that gives information on that subject matter. If the client is already basically knowledgeable about a subject, the initial consultation can not only be more productive, but can save a lot of wasted time, for the lawyer and for the client. Many initial consultations are merely an information center for the prospective client. Since lawyers are limited in the amount of help that can be given with out the retainment of services agreement signed by the client, this information can be better left on a website. Offering the basic information that would have been given at an initial consultation on a company website is a productive way to create Internet marketing for law firms. The larger the variety of information given to an online searcher, the better. This builds trust in a potential client, and trust is what people desire in order to form a relationship, whether business or personal. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Many lawyers tailor a website to provide information about themselves. While this is important (services offered, office hours, direction, and staff descriptions), the online browser is searching the virtual world for a reason. If it were just to pick a lawyer, Internet marketing for attorneys would not be necessary, an ad in a phone book would suffice. Online browsers are searching law websites to get answers for legal questions. Internet marketing for law firms should include a plethora of legal information for the potential client to read and familiarize themselves with a law or particular legal situation. For example: a person searching online for information about bankruptcy discovers two law firms' sites. One site just gives a one page description highlighting the different types of bankruptcy, the other gives detailed information about each type. By discovering how complex law is, which most viewers will do, the browser has a choice to make on who they will choose the represent them in bankruptcy court. The browser will most likely choose the firm that has given him the most "free" information.
A lawyer's fee is not only dependent upon the giving of information, it is also the representation of the client because they cannot or will not have all the information needed to represent themselves. Even if they do, wisdom sides with the retainment of a lawyer's services in matters of legal representation. Internet marketing for attorneys can be done wisely, offering enough information to gain the trust of the potential client, while also expressing a large amount of knowledge in a particular area. In addition the lawyer saves time (which is money) in any initial consultations and can better serve the clients needs. Internet marketing for law firms is a much needed solution to advertising and gaining the public's attention. In an age when "looking it up on the Internet" is becoming a more common practice than going to the library, it is an intelligent choice to cater to the millions of online browsers seeking valuable information that only a lawyer can offer.

While this is important (services offered, office hours, direction, and staff descriptions), the online browser is searching the virtual world for a reason. If it were just to pick a lawyer, Internet marketing for attorneys would not be necessary, an ad in a phone book would suffice. Online browsers are searching law websites to get answers for legal questions. Internet marketing for law firms should include a plethora of legal information for the potential client to read and familiarize themselves with a law or particular legal situation. For example: a person searching online for information about bankruptcy discovers two law firms' sites. One site just gives a one page description highlighting the different types of bankruptcy, the other gives detailed information about each type. By discovering how complex law is, which most viewers will do, the browser has a choice to make on who they will choose the represent them in bankruptcy court. The browser will most likely choose the firm that has given him the most "free" information.
A lawyer's fee is not only dependent upon the giving of information, it is also the representation of the client because they cannot or will not have all the information needed to represent themselves. Even if they do, wisdom sides with the retainment of a lawyer's services in matters of legal representation. Internet marketing for attorneys can be done wisely, offering enough information to gain the trust of the potential client, while also expressing a large amount of knowledge in a particular area. In addition the lawyer saves time (which is money) in any initial consultations and can better serve the clients needs. Internet marketing for law firms is a much needed solution to advertising and gaining the public's attention. In an age when "looking it up on the Internet" is becoming a more common practice than going to the library, it is an intelligent choice to cater to the millions of online browsers seeking valuable information that only a lawyer can offer.
