Microsoft bets on interactive
TV in diversification bid
LISBON 4 JUNE
US SOFTWARE powerhouse Microsoft
takes aim at the couch potato market this week with the high-stakes launch of
its top interactive TV product on a Portuguese cable network.
The much-delayed roll-out of
Microsoft's software on Thursday is part of a multibillion-dollar bet that the
world's 1.5 bn television sets could be a new focus for the Washington-based
firm. Underscoring its importance, Microsoft chief executive, Steve Ballmer,
will be in Lisbon for the kickoff.1234
"It's a very important
launch for us indeed," Mark Le Goy, Microsoft TV's marketing chief in
Europe, told Reuters. "Interactive TV is core to Microsoft's strategy and
direction."5678
The9 rollout over
Portugal's TV Cabo system marks part of a shift by Microsoft, the world's
biggest maker of personal computer software, away from the relatively
slow-growing10 PC market. Besides interactive TV, Microsoft is also
investing in gadgets like handheld devices, video games and mobile phones.1112
Interactive TV lets viewers do
such things as plac13e bets, shop, get e-mail, play games and bank
through a set-top box. Fea14tures of Microsoft's TV Advanced
digital system include recording live programs, displaying live programming
frame by frame and personalized viewing besides high-speed
internet access. Video on demand is scheduled for the near future.
TV Cabo will be the first cable
network in the world to have the Microsoft digital product available on a
broadband, or high-speed digital, system. — Reuters

Subject: Technologies/Development
platform used on 3pjobs
Dear Yogesh,
The following will briefly
summarize the technologies/development platform used on 3pjobs. All the outputs
are in HTML format on the web browser.
The webserver is WINNT4.0 with
SP 6a and IIS 4.0. For the database we use Sql Server 7.0.
As for the front end most part of
the site is developed using ASP scripting. These ASP pages uses
underlying some COM objects on the server. The COM Object are
built in Delphi 5.0.
Other than ASP we use ISAPI
script for process intensive parts. These ISAPI DLLs are also
developed in Delphi 6.0.
The front end validation are done
using Java Script.
For server run scheduled
processes we use either VB Script files or Application built in Delphi 5.0.
I hope this will gives brief idea
of what is being used on the server side.
Regards,
Santosh,
Vxeed Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

RESUME FORWARDING SERVICE FOR
CORPORATES:

What should be the important

- From a Single Company, any number of executives
can subscribe to this service. They could be from different functional
backgrounds such as
- Sales
- Mktg
- Mfg
- R&D
- Finance
- Accounts
- Personnel
- Administration
- etc.
- To ensure "genuine-ness", registration-form
(subscription-form) should require limited personal-info/data
of such executives. (Of course, this is no guarantee!)
2/11
- An ADMIN TOOL (online) will permit a
subscriber to choose/select
- What kind of resumes he would like to receive
- eg. IT Professionals [Checkbox]
- Non-IT " [Checkbox]
- College Students [Checkbox]
- Fresh Graduates [Checkbox]
- Vocation-Designated Staff [Checkbox]
- Retired Professionals [Checkbox]
- He could select any number/all.
- He can change this "configuration"
anytime.
These 6 categories are too
broad a classification. We may begin with this. However, if this SERVICE
has to become really popular amongst Company-Executives, we will
definitely need to provide means to really "Fine Tune" the
requirements of a particular subscriber.
Today our "Resume Search
(online)" permits "fine-tuning".
Our "Post Job Advt
(online)" also permits such "fine-tuning". (
In both cases, however, a
potential recruiter wants to fill a "shapely defined, (one)
existing vacancy". He knows what kind of person he is looking
for.
This (resume search/job advt
posting) is very different from a HR manager, who has just
finalized his ANNUAL MANPOWER PLAN/BUDGET, telling us, at the beginning
of the year,
"In the course of the year,
I would need to fill following positions:"
[Table with 4 columns: S.No., My
Industry Preference , Functional Pref. , Design. Level Pref.]
1.
2.
I will also need
[Table with 4 columns: S.No.,
Trainees, No., Voc. Designated staff, No., When]
1.
2.
3.
In a nutshell, he enters, into
the ADMIN TOOL his ANNUAL MANPOWER REQUIREMENT, and then sits
back to receive MATCHING RESUMES, all throughout the year!
This is like an "OMNIBUS"
CANDIDATE-ALERT
He does not have to come back and
post his job-advts (for each position)
again and again!
This is (for him) like
posting a JUMBO JOB-ADVT covering, all his vacancies, at the beginning
of the year!
We could help him (make his
job simple) by compiling all of the job-advts released by his
Company on 3p / in newspapers / on websites, during last 2/3
years, and tabulate as follows:
|
Company Names
|
PAST JOB-ADVT HISTORY
|
|
|
|
Check Box
|
Advt. No.
|
Vacancy Position
|
Function
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If such a tabulation is
made a part of the ADMIN TOOL, he (HR Mgr) has to simply click on
the check box and enter the
"Date when required".
For the moment, we should not
introduce the "fine tuning" mentioned on p. 3/4, but simply
launch the service for 6 broad categories mentioned on p. 2.
- Although the "Resume Forwarding Service",
by itself, is FREE, we have to make our MONEY from Corporates
only!
- So the resumes being forwarded (Under this
Service) will NOT reveal Candidate's Identity or Contact-info.
- These will be in the form of "long displays".
- We will make this clear in the "Subscription-Form"
itself so that there is no mis-understanding.
- Under "Resume Forwarding Service",
I feel, we should have just ONE revenue model, viz: SALE OF
RESUMES.
- This is because we expect a large volume of
transactions and we cannot afford to "interview/shortlist/recommend"
candidates.
- We will have no time/energy/resources to
find out / keep track of
- Who
- selected whom
- from amongst How Many
- at what Salary
- When appointed
- when joined
- etc. etc.
We may fix "Resume Sale
Tariff" such as:
- College Students / Fresh Graduates --- Rs.
100/resume
- Vocation-Designated Staff --- Rs. 200/resume
- Retired Professionals --- Rs. 500/resume
- IT Professionals --- Rs. 500/resume
- Non-IT Professionals --- Rs. 500/resume
Here, we must remember following:
Jobseekers asking
us/instructing us, to forward their resumes to XYZ Company
obviously, are "desperate".
Such jobseekers, possibly,
CANNOT be SENIOR executives. Mostly they will be,
- Subordinate Staff (Voc. designated Staff)
- Freshers (5 million added every year)
- Some JUNIOR executives who are out-of-job.
- Some, forcibly "retired" (VRS)
Senior Executives.
- 42 million unemployed graduates registered
with 914 employment exchanges.
- Temporaries
- Part-time employed.
- etc. etc.
- We should make it clear to such jobseekers,
that
- we will, initially, not reveal their
Identity/Contact Info. to those companies.
- we will reveal their identity/Contact Info.
only, if and when, the concerned Company "accepts"
our TERMS.
- (Jobseekers need not know what are our TERMS).
- Any response, against their ONLINE JOB
APPLICATION (other name for our Resume forwarding service),
will come directly from the Concerned Corporate.
- Thru our Resume Forwarding Service, we are
offering them a FREE service, which costs us heavily. We have to recover
this cost from the potential employers.
- Thru our FREE Resume Forwarding Service,
they can reach out to hundreds of Corporates who are "subscribing"
to this service.
- Their resume will get "forwarded"
only if it matches the "search-criteria"
prescribed by a particular company.
8/11
eg:
If an "IT Professional"
asks us to forward his resume to VOLTAS, but Voltas has not selected/opted to
receive such resumes,
then,
Can we flash a message on the
Computer Screen, which says,
"Sorry! The Company you
selected is not looking for a person with your background."
or, some such message.
And,
At what stage, should this
message appear? The moment a jobseeker clicks on check box against the name of that Company?
Or, Should we display a table
such as:
|
Tick ↓
|
Name of Company ↓ City
|
This Company wants to
receive resumes of
|
|
Voltas
|
IT Prof.
|
|
L&T
|
|
|
Godrej
|
|
|
Mahindra Penn
|
|
$\leftarrow$ Tick, only if you
have submitted your resume under a "category" which is desired
by the Company.
So, a jobseeker, KNOWS
beforehand, so he does not waste his time to tick and then see a REGRET message!
This would be quite irritating,
if he gets to see only "regret messages" after "regret
messages", as he keep-on ticking boxes after boxes!
This would also drastically reduce
the load on our Server's Search-engine. Otherwise, it may find only ONE
good "match" for every 100 requests!
What, in essence, we are
attempting is
PERMISSION MARKETING
from both, the Corporates and the
Jobseekers.
We are trying to "market",
- "Jobs/Positions" to Candidates,
and
- "Resumes" to Recruiters.
And, we expect them to
participate in this process, because, we are offering both parties, a
- Simple / effortless method to reach out to each
other (our USP).
Without having to make a financial
Commitment! Only a small "time commitment is all that they need
to make - one time!
10/11
ONE-TIME INPUTS REQUIRED.
# From Job Seekers
$\rightarrow$ All that they have
to do is to Submit their resumes on our website, using appropriate
webform.
These forms already exist,
and no further "development-effort" is required.
In fact, quite soon, all 6
types of our Resume-Forms, will become "downloadable"
from www.agentfo.com
Then, these can be filled-up OFFLINE
and thereafter, can be UPLOADED directly on www.3pjobs.com.
An "offline resume-forms
CD" is also developed and under distribution amongst
- 134 colleges
- 359 Computer Institutions
- 20 Placement Agencies.
From these organisations, bulk
resumes will arrive at 3p's office via email and will get uploaded
on our website thru ADMIN TOOL.
11/11
# From Corporates
Corporate participants
will have to submit SUBSCRIPTION-FORM (see Annex: A)
They may fill-in Online or
send it to us by fax/email.
If they wish, they should be able
to "dictate" the details to our program-manager over
the telephone. In fact, I expect this to be the most popular method,
since it calls for "LEAST EFFORT" on part of the subscriber.
In this method, he need not have
- a computer (or an internet connection)
He can receive resumes, as
long as he is able to "access" his email box once-in-a-while.

Microsoft in IPTV pact with
Reliance456
Firms to deliver Net-based
services789
OUR CORPORATE BUREAU101112
Mumbai, 9 October131415
Within the next two years, the
landscape of the entertainment industry is set to undergo a revolutionary
change, courtesy Microsoft Corporation16 and Reliance
Infocomm. The two giants today announced an exclusive tie-up to jointly
create, test and deliver next-generation Internet Protocol (IP)-based
television s17ervices.18
Whil19e Microsoft is
developing the software and the middleware for an IPTV solution, the nationwide
high-speed infrastructure of Reliance Infocomm will be leveraged to deliver a
unique host of next-generation television services.
"Microsoft's IPTV
solution allows Reliance Infocomm to maximise the value of its network,"
said Moshe Lichtman, corporate vice-president of Microsoft's TV division in an
India statement.
Microsoft's proposed IPTV
solution will enable telephone and cable companies to deliver high-quality
video content and services to subscribers using two-way broadband networks.
The multi-casting through a
set-top box will enable Indian consumers to access health (telemedicine),
education (distant learning) and other services at an "affordable
price."
A Reliance Infocomm
spokesman said, "This understanding highlights the strategic relationship
between Reliance Infocomm and Microsoft to provide next-generation broadcast TV
and video-on-demand services to Indian consumers."
10/10/03
What IPTV means
- Microsoft says through the compression technology
of its Windows Media Player 9 it can offer broadcast quality
television over an internet connection of 1 Megabit per second.
- A set-top box to receive and decode internet TV
could cost as little as $500 in four years time, which itself is on par
with some of the cheapest digital TV set-top boxes.
The IPTV solution is designed to
support the services that pay-TV operators offer today, in addition to enhanced
features such as instant channel changing and next-generation services like
picture-in-picture functionality using multiple video streams.
Microsoft TV enables the delivery
of new services such as video on demand, on-demand storefronts, interactive
programme guides, managed content services, digital video recording, enhanced
programming, e-mail, instant messaging and more, across a full range of set-top
boxes and TV devices.
Reliance Infocom has established
a pan-India, high-capacity, integrated (wireless and wired) and convergent
(voice, data and video) digital network to offer services that will span the
entire information-communication value chain.
Indian American is czar of web TV
Eco. Times. 4-6-01
New York
3 JUNE
KRIS Narayan wants the patented
technology of his San Jose-based TeleCruz Technology to be for web-enabled
television what Windows and Intel are for personal computers.
The chip and software system
allows television manufacturers to throw away the separate set-top box that is
currently needed to allow internet access on television because the technology
is integrated within the TV.
"We are the one-stop-shop
providing the complete chip and complete software," said 40-year-old
Narayan, co-founder and chairman of TeleCruz. He said he plans to make future
versions of the TeleCruz chipset with broadband speed and VCR-type
capabilities.
The system added to a TV, said
the New Delhi-born Narayan, increases the cost of a set by only $100. "Affordability
is the most important point and matching the product with viewer experience is
the point," he said.
He is already selling the
platform in India through a strategic partnership with electronics major Videocon.
The product is called Voi, for video-online communicator. It is
also being exported to Africa, Middle East, and since April, to China, he said.
Earlier this year, Zenith,
Panasonic and Daewoo launched the product in Las Vegas. According to reports,
Panasonic will launch a TeleCruz-enabled, 27-inch TV later this year, equipped
with a wireless phone connection and keyboard for $100 more than a regular set.
Narayan said three other TV
manufacturers and cable service providers in India and seven more in China are
soon going to deploy his platform, but he refused to give names.
In South America, TeleCruz has
partners in Brazil and Argentina going into production now, and in South Korea,
he is working with three manufacturers.
Narayan founded TeleCruz in '96,
after stints with Fairchild Semicon-ductors, Digital Equipment, LSI Logic,
VLSI, and finally Cirrus Logic.
In each of these companies, he
shifted gears from being a design engineer, to program manager, and then to
marketing, covering the whole gamut of skills needed to run a business.1
"I concluded I was more of a
business-type than engineering-type, and also that I was fairly independent and
wanted to start my own company," Narayan, said. "When you are young
and restless - you want to climb up 2to top fast."
All his business acumen is
serving him well at TeleCruz, the idea for which germinated while Narayan was
at Cirrus.
"My premise was that the
World Wide Web was emerging, and various applications were coming on the
horizon that would make TV more than a broadcast entertainment medium. And when
you ask yourself what more it can do, I concluded it will be displaying text
and graphics, in addition to moving video." - IANS

Some thoughts on
3P / VIDEOCON Interactive TV
Project.
5/6/01
- We should try to capture the personal-data
of the buyer in hellowol.com.
- This should be done by the dealer who sell
the machine (TV). He has to prepare an INVOICE - cum - DELY.
CHALLAN, in any case. Homepage of hellowol should provide a
section/link, where the dealer "creates/prepares" such a
document and "prints" copies for buyer & himself.
- Machine Chassis No. (like a car - chassis
no.) i.e. TV no. should be also entered.
This way, Videocon will be
able to keep track of who bought, which machine from where & at
what price. In short complete PROFILE of each & every Customer -
including repeat purchase profile i.e. Customer loyalty. This (database)
will be an invaluable tool for CRM.
2/20
- One niche market that ITV must target is PCO's.
There are over a million PCO's
in India, each with a telephone connection. Someday, they will get broadband
too. PCO's have revolutionised telecommunication in India over
the last decade.
With our proposal, they could
possibly bring internet (i.e. information) to the doorsteps of
millions of Indians, who cannot afford
- a Computer
- a telephone connection.
If a PCO installs an ITV,
he will spend Rs. 24000 (maybe we should have a special discounted
price for PCO's), instead of spending Rs. 40,000 on a computer.
So, that is advantage No. ONE.
3/20
Next, we have to convince PCO
owner that it makes business sense to invest in an iTV.
If we can show him that he can recover
his investment within ONE year, he should be convinced.
He should recover
$$\frac{\text{Rs. } 24000}{300
\text{ working days}} = \text{Rs. } 80/\text{day}$$
(He is quite likely to be working
for 350 days in a year).
His variable cost would
be:
- Rs. 6/hour of ISP charges
- Rs. 24/hour of MTNL "
Total $\rightarrow$ Rs.
30/hour
i.e.
Rs. 6 / 10 minute slot.
4/20
And
it will take no more than 10
minutes to submit/enter a resume on 3pjobs.com.
So, he could fix following "Tariff":
1 Submit Resume --- Rs.
10/resume
2 Conduct online
"Job-Search" (on Jobs database) & Use "Resume
Forwarding service" of 3pjobs.com. $\bigg\}$ Rs. 2/job-advt
or per "Company"
3 Open personal email box

With appropriate training /
backing and "advt-support", a PCO owner should be
able to recover his investment within 2 months!
One could even offer PCO
owners some "hire-purchase" scheme, so that his initial
downpayment is no more than Rs. 3000/=.
If properly implemented,
this scheme can
- make Videocon iTV the absolute market-leader
in terms of market share.
- give Videocon the highest "brand-recall"
amongst all TV brands.
- Spread internet-culture / increase internet
penetration across the Country & bring about a revolution
similar to what SAM PITRODA achieved with PCOs.
- generate for Videocon, immensely valuable market-data,
to "lock-in" customers.
7/20
- hellowol's email database, could even,
someday, exceed hotmail's email database, which is currently 100
million people.

HOW TO POPULARIZE Videocon iTV
IN HOMES?
- TV's are popular because they are so easy
to operate. Even a child can change channels at the press of a button
on the "remote".
- Computers are not popular because, to
operate a computer, one has to learn how to use a "KEYBOARD"
(even for surfing the web).
Of course, Computers are
also much more expensive than a TV, and do not offer much by way of news
/ entertainment / streaming video images / films, without extra HW &
SW features. All of these add to the complexity of a Computer.
If we want iTV to become
as popular as normal TV, we should make it work with a "remote
only" - rarely requiring use of KEYBOARD!!
9/20
WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO BE ABLE
TO USE/OPERATE AN iTV WITH A "REMOTE" (as far as possible)
- Select 30 TOPICS / SUBJECTS
- eg.
- News
- Films
- Sports
- Health
- Education
- Jobs
- Music
- Politics
- etc etc.
- For each of these 30 topics, select 10
TOP/BEST WEBSITES, making a total of $10 \times 30 = \textbf{300
URLs}$.
- Hardcode these into memory of iTV's
SET-TOP BOX (any other chip embedded into iTV).
- Create a "remote" which enables a
person to select any of these 300 URLs by pressing Keys/buttons.

A person, first presses
"Topic" button (i.e. TOPIC SELECTION) - out of 30 Topic buttons.
Then, he can click on
$\text{(1)}$ To $\text{(10)}$ buttons on right-hand side, to select, the most
popular websites (URL's).
KIND ATTN: Mr. Nitish Tipnis
Mr. Naveen Mandhana
11/20
If he wishes to go to any other
URL, he should be able to type-in the URL in the infrared keyboard.
May be the remote could have
built-in facility to "RECONFIGURE/RESET" the 10 sites
(URL's) of a User's choice.
For this
(resetting/reconfiguring), the Set-top box should contain URL's of
2000 most popular websites. Surfer should be able to scroll these
(up/down) on iTV screen and then press a button $\text{Select }\bigcirc$ by
pointing the laser-beam on that URL on the Screen. Presto!
It gets added to the memory (temporary) of the remote!!
12/20
USE OF "REMOTE" TO
NAVIGATE 3pjobs
- Whether 3pjobs.com or any other website, any
link should be clickable, using laser-beam from the
remote. Perhaps this feature is already incorporated.
It is obvious that, to use an iTV,
a surfer should not have to use 3 different devices, viz:
- a Keyboard $\}$ for $10\%$ use.
- a remote $\}$ These must be combined
- a mouse $\}$ for $90\%$ of the use
As far as 3pjobs. is
concerned, what would make surfer's life easy/simple? - when he is using
an iTV.
Mostly, I would expect a "jobseeker"
to be wanting to use 3pjobs
13/20
using an iTV from home.
If he is a Personnel Manager, he would most likely log onto 3pjobs
from his Office and using a regular computer (-unless he too
wants to submit his resume and/or conduct a jobsearch! - Something he
would not dare to do from his office).
As far as a "jobseeker"
is concerned, he would want to use following features of 3pjobs. from
the privacy/comfort of his home:
# 1 Submit Resume
# 2 Conduct Job-Search
# 3 Use "Resume forwarding
Service" (i.e. instruct our webserver to send his resume to ABC
"job-advertiser").
In future, we propose enlarging
the scope of this Service, whereby a jobseeker can instruct our webserver to
forward his resume to anyone of 50,000 Companies whose names he can click
upon, on our website - even if such a company has advertised or not.
14/20
Of course, for such PUSHING of
"unsolicited resumes, we will need advance permission of concerned
Companies. Otherwise we will annoy a lot of our existing/prospective
client-Corporations.
We will work-out a method to get
such a permission, before uploading the name (& of course, email address)
of the Company on our website.
# 4 Receive
"Job-Alert" emails & check-up "job-advts" stored in his
job-alert box.
# 5 Search several other
databases available on our website.
Let us examine each one of these.
# 1 SUBMIT RESUME
Currently this requires use of a keyboard.
For a TV user, it is cumbersome
to switch between a remote & a keyboard every few minutes! It
is inconvenient/annoying!
15/20
Can an iTV user,
- click on a "field" & then speak-out
(Voice-recognition) the data?
Implications
- sound card / microphone / V-R Software /
Voice-enabled website?
- Use of IVRS (thru ordinary telephone - which
most iTV homes may have) after clicking on a "field"
in the resume-form, displayed on iTV screen.
Most (or all) of dropdown list
selections should be able to be carried-out with laser-beam/Click on the
remote.
Perhaps, what a jobseeker "enters"
thru IVRS, can appear instantly on iTV screen, so that he knows
if entry is correct.
If not, he can "type-in"
the corrections.
Even if these "solutions"
are technically
16/20
feasible, the most important
question to be asked - and answered - continuously is,
"Will this solution simplify
matters or make it worse?"
Each, so-called "solution"
must be "tested" on users who do not know how to use a Computer
/ Keyboard.

From the above chart, it is clear
17/20
that
"Posting City"
$\rightarrow$ will need to be typed in (since it is a free text box)
Even, here, it is possible to
have a dropdown list of some 200/300 bigger cities-towns for clicking;
with a provision to type-in any other name. We are anyway considering
this.
Ind/Function/Desig/Position/Category/Trade
All of these are in the form of dropdown
lists. It should be possible to point the laser-beam on the desired
value & then click the remote.
As far as "Short
Display" & "Long Display" are concerned, either there are
Links ($\text{clickable}$)
$\text{OR}$
Check-boxes $\text{clickable.}$
18/20
# 3 RESUME FORWARDING SERVICE
(Whom do you want us to forward
your resume to?)
This form contains:
User Name $\rule{5cm}{0.4pt}$
Password $\rule{5cm}{0.4pt}$
Job Advt No. $\rule{5cm}{0.4pt}$
I suppose, these are best typed
in using the Keyboard.
We should, however, consider
following (Simplified) solution:
First step
Jobseeker, upon entering
Job-Search area/section, types in his User Name & Password.
Next step
Whichever job-advts (or Company
Names) he sees (in whatever type of search-results), he simply, points the
laser-beam & CLICKS. That takes care.
19/20
# 4 RECEIVE JOB-ALERT
If he logs on thru his
email (online), he will be taken to his personal page where he sees all
the "matching/suitable" job-advts stored.
Each job-advt should carry check-box. If interested, he simply points
& clicks to forward his resume (i.e. apply online).
The fact that he has been able to
"access" his "PERSONAL PAGE", means, the
server knows who he is (i.e. Username/Password/PEN) and can pick-up his
"Long Display" resume from the database & forward.
This means, he need not enter Username/Password
again, if he is "Returning the Job-Alert Call"!
20/20
# 5 SEARCH OTHER DATABASES
For all of these (i.e. accessing
these), we plan to introduce a "REGISTRATION".
This means, to access these
databases, a surfer would need to type-in his Username/Password.
