Paying every month 30$ (around 1000 Rs+) will not attract many people. Instead of that they should offer other way round. Buy netbook for 15,000 to 20,000 Rs (300/400$) and you will get internet (with whatever download limit) for free for next few months/years.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pravoo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2008 2:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on India's Reliance Communications offers free netbook with contract]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/indias-reliance-communications-offers-free-netbook-with-contrac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/indias-reliance-communications-offers-free-netbook-with-contrac/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's reeking old school. You pay once for a product, but you keep paying for a service. although in seemingly smaller amounts. The point to be noted (fairly obvious to some first world-ers) is that a PC with no connection is not much unlike a printer with no paper. So, it's only logical you focus on the piping, rather than the faucet. Reliance is a business house, and they know what keeps them laughing all the way to the bank. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[vintner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 22nd 2008 2:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on India's Reliance Communications offers free netbook with contract]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/indias-reliance-communications-offers-free-netbook-with-contrac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/indias-reliance-communications-offers-free-netbook-with-contrac/</guid><description><![CDATA[RBC bank had been doing this couple months back.

Reliance was first company in India to offer free cell phone with contract. That too on CDMA network. It was a huge success. And Rs 1000 per month is not a big deal for target customers who utilize internet in their daily life. Also its small portable, besides Indian love paying in installments.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[vicky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2008 4:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on India's Reliance Communications offers free netbook with contract]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/indias-reliance-communications-offers-free-netbook-with-contrac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/indias-reliance-communications-offers-free-netbook-with-contrac/</guid><description><![CDATA[If this becomes successful, Linux adoption will go up as the volumes are high in India.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[H]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2008 4:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on India's Reliance Communications offers free netbook with contract]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/indias-reliance-communications-offers-free-netbook-with-contrac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/indias-reliance-communications-offers-free-netbook-with-contrac/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sounds like a good deal to me!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[StephenD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2008 5:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on India's Reliance Communications offers free netbook with contract]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/indias-reliance-communications-offers-free-netbook-with-contrac/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/indias-reliance-communications-offers-free-netbook-with-contrac/</guid><description><![CDATA[Stupid TRAI keeps holding up 3G, not even letting companies who picked CDMA implement 3G when they technically can, while GSM/WCDMA carriers need additional spectrum.<br><br>Reliance could implement EV-DO on their existing spectrum (the entire point of CDMA), but the govt won't let them so the incumbent Airtel and Vodafone don't have competition.<br><br>Anyway, ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 22nd 2008 1:25AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
