Amp'd goes bankcrupt

MVNO in US are in trouble. Next one to file for chapter 7 is Amp'd Mobile, an MVNO.

As per media reports, Amp'd could not keep up with its IT systems for its growing customer base and things went bad from operational point of view.

I came to know Accenture was their systems integrator, which means MNC which is known for its "tiger" could not help a small player to keep up with IT systems.???

I believe Indian vendors like Patni, Infosys etc are doing great job as partner with growing companies in US and Europe specially for convergent service providers.

I believe it is not just about making your employee "Tigers" but also far more important making your customers as "Tiger", "Lion" too..

Sausalito moments

Windows and Mac.... rather I would say its always Windows OR MAC.

But recently it was Gates AND Jobs together at D5,All things digital.. making historic appearance together.

It was interesing conversion as I read in Wall Street Journol and each other even appreciated other point of view.. Jobs acknowledged the fact that Gates did good job to make PC for masses with windows.

Gates too was supportive of fact that Jobs is real creative person and his ideas are great.

Airliner giant to recycle aircraft

Airplanes are now treated like paper... well I am not talking as cost but the way they will be processed.

French Airliner maker Airbus and US based giant Boeing have decided to recycle airliners now.

This is real good initiative to reduce pollution and dumping. Companies has set up R&D team to design process for recycling.

Normally, dumped airliners are moved to resting area near hanger and they are left for rusting. Now, this will not only give more space but also help airlines to recover cost.

With aviation market growing fast in emerging countries like China and India, this will help Boeing and Airbus to imporve their margins too...

Good initiative!!!
