gopal vittal: 5G auction strategy to depend on final reserve price finalized by govt: Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal
Bharti Airtel ’s CEO Gopal Vittal said that the reduction in 5G reserve prices has not been adequate and termed the development as “disappointing”. He said that Airtel ’s 5G auction strategy will depend on the final reserve price finalized by the government “As you are aware, TRAI recently announced the long-awaited recommendations for reserve prices for the next spectrum auction. The industry had hoped for a massive reduction in prices. While there has been a reduction, it has not been adequate and is in that sense disappointing. I will not comment on our strategy and approach since it is dependent on the final reserve price finalized by the government,” Vittal said during the earnings call speech. Vittal claimed that Airtel is “fully ready for 5G” with its core network, radio network and transport network being fully future proofed. “In our transport network, the power of our home broadband business is now enabling us to connect more and more towers … [Read more...] about gopal vittal: 5G auction strategy to depend on final reserve price finalized by govt: Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal

Review: Playdate earns its $179 price tag with cute design, memorable games [Updated]
The cute, portable, and banana yellow $179 Playdate console is now shipping to its first batch of preorder customers, so we're now free to review the quirkiest gaming system in years. Thanks to chip shortages and general manufacturing chaos, buying Playdate is much less fun than using it. If you preordered the system in July 2021 after reading my hands-on preview , great. If you waited for a proper review like this one, however, expect a backorder queue of no fewer than eight months. (At least Panic says it will make as many Playdates as people want to buy, instead of pulling an NES Classic and limiting production .) To those who ran with my previous optimism about Playdate's squat form factor, quirky games, and unique crank control system , I am happy to report that I didn't lead you astray—so long as you heeded my specific bias. As I wrote in July: I'm partial to experimental, quick-fire indie fare, which the Playdate is clearly tailored toward. This most often … [Read more...] about Review: Playdate earns its $179 price tag with cute design, memorable games [Updated]
Amazon’s new Fire 7 tablet finally has a USB-C port
Amazon is updating its small and inexpensive Fire 7 tablet for the first time in three years , and it’s bringing some crowd-pleasing features: the updated tablet will feature USB-C charging, better battery life, and faster performance. Amazon is, however, raising the starting price tag a tad — from $49.99 to $59.99. Amazon says that the tablet’s quad-core processor is “30 percent faster” and that it’ll have 2GB of RAM instead of 1GB. In theory, the extra memory should make it so you can load more web pages at a time, and you won’t have to wait around for apps to start back up as often when you’re switching between them. The company also says the tablet will last about 40 percent longer between charges, estimating you’ll be able to do about 10 hours of browsing or video watching. Of course, the headlining feature is how you’ll be charging up that battery. The previous Fire 7 featured a micro-USB charging port, but the refresh replaces it with a more modern connection. Amazon also … [Read more...] about Amazon’s new Fire 7 tablet finally has a USB-C port
Elon Musk’s latest stunt: calling on the SEC to investigate Twitter’s user numbers
So does Elon Musk want to buy Twitter or not? This morning, the company’s prospective new owner insisted (in a tweet, of course) that the $44 billion deal he’d agreed to “ cannot move forward ” until he sees the proof he’s looking for about its active user numbers. With needling current Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and texting former CEO Jack Dorsey having failed to hit the spot, Musk — seemingly jokingly — pulled in another recurring character from his 24 / 7 revolving circus by tweeting to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, asking them to investigate. In case you’ve forgotten, the folks at the SEC are the “ bastards ” that Musk has previously accused of infringing upon his rights to free speech, although that’s not the only thing he’s called them in the past. SEC, three letter acronym, middle word is Elon’s — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 2, 2020 His quarrel with them has focused on their attempts to enforce a consent decree he agreed to in 2018 over the … [Read more...] about Elon Musk’s latest stunt: calling on the SEC to investigate Twitter’s user numbers
Tesla is ready to take your money for its Semi truck (just don’t ask when you’ll actually get one)
Five years after it was announced, Tesla has opened up reservations for its all-electric Semi truck, scheduled to go into production in 2023. On the company’s website , you can make a reservation by paying $5,000 upfront, then $15,000 within 10 days. (Spotted via InsideEVs .) A word of warning, though: the $5k is refundable, but it seems the $20k ain’t. Now, you’d be forgiven for having forgotten all about Tesla’s Semi, which was announced in 2017 with futuristic concept art and envious specs. The company says the truck will be powered by four independent motors on the rear axles, go 0-60mph in 20 seconds, and have a battery range of either 300 or 500 miles. Prices start at $150,000, and there have been a number of orders from businesses like Walmart and FedEx in the low-dozens range. But since that 2017 unveiling, Tesla has struggled with production for the Semi — which is understandable considering how quickly its managed to scale up manufacturing on its other EVs. … [Read more...] about Tesla is ready to take your money for its Semi truck (just don’t ask when you’ll actually get one)
