The jingle of e-commerce
Indiatimes takes the cake and eats it too, followed, of course, by the old warhorse rediff, and, finally siffy. But when it comes to tipping the hat for e-commerce in India, the Indian Railways deserves it the most. The Business Standard supplement, the strategist reports on the status of e-commerce.

Seeing big in small things
The times are such. The news that “Internet advertising will account for 10 percent of total U.S. ad dollars” is something to celebrate about, although we’d have to wait for 2010 for that to happen.

Have you tried Google Base? Gary Price has a post on it at Search Engine Watch.
Subscribers to surpass 215 million

China is ranked second with 16.5 per cent or 35.9 million subscribers, according to a report by Computer Industry Almanac.
Restructuring Prasar Bharati
When there is talk of restructuring a public institution by the government one is entitled to be apprehensive. It could be the beginning of privatisation initiatives. There is a news report that the government is planning on restructuring Doordarshan. The bottomline: “[For] expenditure of around Rs. 2,000 crore, Prasar Bharati just manages revenues of around…
