Bharti is expecting to launch its 3G service by December this year. 3G spectrum will allow telecom operators like Bharti Airtel to provide mobile users data at high speeds allowing them to watch movies, games and a host of new services on their phones.
3G allows high-speed mobile broadband access, enabling users to download full length movies, make video calls and watch live television programmes.
To try and keep tariffs low Bharti is looking at customised plans for different users and would be looking to sell talk time bundled into small affordable packages.
Bharti which paid over Rs. 12,000 crore for the right to provide 3G services in 13 circles in the country however agrees that keeping tariffs low will be a challenge.

(AP)UAE says it will block BlackBerry e-mail, messaging and Web services Oct. 11 unless authorities can gain access to the encrypted data traffic — a demand by other countries warning of possible bans including India.
The proposed UAE action threatens BlackBerry service for an estimated 500,000 local subscribers and could tarnish the country's reputation as the Gulf's business and tourism hub with potentially millions of visitors left without key BlackBerry services.
Dubai's police chief, Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim, said that fears of espionage and information sharing by foe Israel — as well as UAE allies United States and Britain — helped prompt the possible limits on the popular BlackBerry.

(ANI)Researchers discovered a novel compound that shows promise as a next generation treatment for drug resistant malaria.
Scientists at the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases (NITD), achieved the above feat in collaboration with researchers from the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF), the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute and The Scripps Research Institute.
The findings demonstrate that the antimalarial candidate, spiroindolone NITD609, is effective against both strains of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium (P.) falciparum and P. vivax.
Through a novel mechanism NITD609 rapidly clears plasmodium in a malaria mouse model and shows pharmacological properties compatible with a once-daily dosing regimen.

(PTI) In one more reason why mothers should breastfeed their babies as long as possible, scientists in UK have found that formula milk contain 40 times more aluminium than breast milk, potentially putting the toddlers' health at risk.
Researchers at the Keele University, Staffordshire, who examined 16 of the UK's leading formula milk brands meant for children up to the age of one, found that traces of the metal in those products are much higher than is legally allowed in water.
One formula made by Cow & Gate — specifically marketed for premature babies — had the highest level of all, with more than 800 micrograms per litre, the researchers said.

( BBC ) US future giant Rocket boosters intended to power the first stage of flight on Nasa's next rocket has been tested in Utah.
The ATK booster, developed as part of Nasa's Constellation project, is a development of the solid rocket motors used to lift the space shuttle off the launch pad.
President Obama cancelled the Constellation project in February, but there is still a strong chance that the ATK booster could play a part in future Nasa launch vehicles.
Nasa's Alex Priskos said the data gathered from the test was "absolutely excellent", giving "the chamber pressures and the thrust pressures that we were expecting".

(PTI) Here's some hope of a cure for deafness after a British woman has received a single implant which brings hearing to both ears.
The unnamed patient, who has been deaf since birth, received the cochlear implant at Southampton General Hospital.
The electronic device has two wires running from it, with one leading into one inner ear and the other running under scalp into the other ear, the 'Daily Express' reported. Fine tuning is needed over the coming week to see if the four-hour operation was a success but it is expected to give the 44-year-old woman much improved bilateral hearing.

(PTI)Scientists claim to be developing a treatment for cancer cachexia, the debilitating weight loss and muscle wasting condition affecting patients with cancer.
Cancer cachexia has a major impact on quality of life for cancer patients. It can also inhibit the effectiveness of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There is currently no effective treatment.
Now, an international team, led by Deakin University, is working on a combination of two readily available therapies (an omega3 fatty acid and an anti-gout medication) it believes could delay the onset of cancer cachexia and also improve quality of life for cancer patients.

(PTI)Researchers at the Keele University in UK also suggested the age at which patients should be most concerned by the symptoms, which include blood in urine and anaemia.
The other symptoms they highlighted included rectal blood, coughing up blood, breast lump or mass, difficulty swallowing, post-menopause bleeding and abnormal prostate tests, the BBC reported.
The scientists, who examined 25 previous studies for their research, found that the symptoms gave a one in 20 or higher chance of turning out to be cancer.
Although this still represents a relatively low chance of anyone with the symptom having the disease, they said that any suspicion of cancer can mean that the patient is sent for tests more quickly, in order to catch the disease as early as possible.

(ANI)Researchers have described the device as the first fuel cell that produces electricity with technology borrowed from the biological powerhouses that energise people and other living things on Earth.
"This is the first demonstration of a new class of biofuel cells. When further developed, these devices have the potential for replacing disposable and rechargeable batteries in a wide variety of consumer electronics and other products. It is the first such device based on one of the microscopic parts of the billions upon billions of cells that make up the body," said Dr Shelley Minteer, who presented the report.
For the new biofuel cell, researchers chose one of the most amazing organelles — the mitochondria.
Sometimes called the cell's own powerhouses, mitochondria transform the calories in food into chemical energy that the body needs to sustain life. Mitochondria use a chemical formed from the digestion of sugar and fats, called pyruvate, to make another substance called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which stores energy until needed.

(PTI)The government on Friday said the telecom operators, who had bagged 3G spectrum in the auction held recently, would be allocated airwaves from September 1, paving way for launch of high-speed mobile broadband services.
The Department of Telecom (DoT) had set September 1 as the deadline for allocating spectrum, as per the schedule of auction, which fetched the government over Rs. 67,000 crore for selling 3G frequency.
There are, however, apprehensions in the industry as the defence forces are yet to vacate spectrum in several areas, as the alternate network for them is still not ready.

(AP)Cuban leader Fidel Castro has said that Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is a bought-and-paid-for CIA agent who always popped up when former US President George W Bush needed to scare the world, arguing that documents recently posted on the Internet prove it.
"Any time Bush would stir up fear and make a big speech, bin Laden would appear threatening people with a story about what he was going to do," Castro told state media during a meeting with a Lithuanian-born writer known for advancing conspiracy theories about world domination. "Bush never lacked for bin Laden's support. He was a subordinate."
Castro said documents posted on WikiLeaks.org - a website that recently released thousands of pages of classified documents from the Afghan war - "effectively proved he was a CIA agent." He did not elaborate.

(PTI) World-famous Gurkha regiment, part of the British army for almost 200 years, may be among those axed unless the Ministry of Defence's demands for more money to fund the replacement of Trident nuclear missile submarines are answered.
Last night, hopes for extra funding were fading as Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander rejected demands for extra money from Tory Defence Secretary Liam Fox and insisted the 20 billion pounds cost of replacing Trident had to be met fully by the MoD, The Observer reported today.
Quoting an expert, the report said the increasing costs of running the Gurkha's following actress Joanna Lumley's high-profile campaign last year to improve their rights, added to the sense that the "writing is on the wall" for the Brigade of Gurkhas, which has 3,640 members.
