PRICING / PAYMENTS /
REVENUE-SHARING
There are, basically 2
content-deliveries which will be “priced” and be “payable” by RIM subscribers.
These are:
Daily delivery of 10/20
job-alerts to each opting RIM subscriber of JAM, as an SMS on his mobile,
once-a-day.
Delivery (as email) of resumes of
RIM Subscribers to Employers (Corporate Advertisers) whenever an opting RIM
Subscriber clicks “APPLY ONLINE” against a given JAM message.
In order to popularize the JAM
service, it is decided, not to charge anything initially for A.
However, it is agreed to charge
the RIM subscriber, Rs. 1/- ( Rupees One ), for forwarding his resume ( as
email ), everytime he clicks “APPLY ONLINE” (i.e. for each job advt, which
he selects to “apply”).
It is further agreed that JAM
service ( content- delivery ) will be made available only to the PRE-PAID
subscribers of RIM. This will encourage most of the existing POST-PAID
subscribers to switchover to PREPAID mode, in order to avail of this killer

only to the PRE-PAID subscribers, will
- Eliminate subscriber – defaults on payments
