beyond those stated in the ISO 9001:2000 standard. By establishing
quality requirements and measurements for the telecommunications industry
that parallel rapid technology changes and customer expectations, TL 9000
provides a basis for continual improvements to quality management
practices, thereby fostering uniformity and effectiveness across all
products, reducing redundancy, and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Expanded Quality Management Practices

2Wire was certified for both TL 9000 and ISO 9001:2000 registrations for

of broadband gateway products.

dutch

Dutch is a West Germanic language spoken by over 22 million people as a native language,and over 5 million people as a second language.Most native speakers live in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Suriname, with smaller groups of speakers in parts of France, Germany and several former Dutch colonies. It is closely related to other West Germanic languages (e.g., English, West Frisian and German) and somewhat more remotely to the North Germanic languages.

Dutch is the parent language of several creole languages as well as of Afrikaans, one of the official languages of South Africa and the most widely understood in Namibia. Dutch and Afrikaans are to a very large extent mutually intelligible, although they have separate spelling standards and dictionaries and have separate language regulators. The Dutch Language Union coordinates actions of the Dutch, Flemish and Surinamese authorities in linguistic issues, language policy, language teaching and literature.

How to Check BSNL Broadband Usage Details?



3 Ways to Check BSNL Broadband Usage Details


Unless you use an unlimited plan, your bill will be based on your usage data as recorded by BSNL. If we use more than the allowed limit, we need to pay extra for this usage. Even if we are careful, some virus infection in our system can increase the chargeable units to a dangerous extent. It can happen even if you have a very good antivirus. Therefore it is important to monitor the usage closely. Unfortunately BSNL fails to provide useful information to its users. Many of us rely on a single BSNL site we managed to identify for monitoring the usage.

BSNL sites do not update on a real time basis and is neither dependable as it has a very high downtime due to maintenance and billing activities. From 1st to 5 th of every month, BSNL sites are totally unreliable as they are used for billing purposes than updating user details. If you are a new user, your usage details may not appear for about 2 weeks. From my personal experience, I can tell you that BSNL may update the usage on 1st of month on 20 th. I ended up with a huge bill after they did this to me.

Another common error is that many believe usage means only download. BSNL calculates your usage as download + upload. If we use internet just for browsing, it will cost around 15 MB per hour in your usage stats. It is impossible to manually calculate the usage. Please use the following methods.

BSNL allots two server IPs. One of the format 117.xxx.xxx.xxx and other 59.xxx.xxx.xxx. If your IP starts with 59.xxx, options other than option 3 may not work for you.

In that case, Check here. To check your IP, Click here.

You can also test your speed on the link given above. If you find it difficult, use What is my IP ?


How to Check BSNL Broadband Usage details – Methods


There are 3 sources to check your usage. 1 BSNL portal, 1 Independent software and 1 BSNL software.

ABC from my surname, +++ a 3 digit no. , 25102008 date of broadband application. If you do not have this, check with your local exchange. They normally keep this in their records. A phone call can fix it for you.

Your BSNL email ID will receive email alerts when the usage limit is crossed. Always ask your exchange for email ID. If you try to use option 3, it will ask for your BSNL email ID.

PTCL

PTCL (Pakistan telecommunication private limited) has installed

software on their network which has blocked calls being made over the internet causing great difficulty for both local and international call centers in Pakistan since last week.

JANG newspaper discovered that PTCL has recently installed a new software in their ITI network in order to protect it, and also put an end to all the illegal phone calls being made through it. This has badly affected the business of dozens of call centres in the country. Lahore city is a main effected area which is a part of Pakistan call center industry. While speaking to JANG several call centre owners expressed their concern that because of this problem it would be very difficult to attract more offshore businesses causing more unemployment in the country.

They also said that due to the insufficient policies of PTCL, illegal work through the Flag network is being carried on, while PTCL is not taking any step to regulate it. On the other hand PTCL applauded the installation of the new software on its network, claiming it to be for the security of their system.

INVESTING IN CALL CENTER

While the economy, the political environment, and uncertainty loom in our faces, when we focus on this situation or set of circumstances, usually what comes up is fear. However, if you focus on the fear, the fear expands.

At the same time, we are encouraged to invest. We’re told that this is a good time; that there are bargains out there, that it is a buyer’s market; that this is an opportune time to invest.

Well I say invest too, but not in what you may think. This is the time to focus on and invest in your people.

With continued focus on customer service, customer retention, and the lifetime value of the customer, it’s no surprise that contact center operations continue to increase in importance as the primary hub of the customer’s experience. Customer service is actually the cornerstone of the customer’s experience.

IP-PBX Software

The application, called the VocalocityPBX Dashboard, works through a Web browser rather than through separate PC software. It's available free to all users of the hosted service, allowing them to view onscreen information about the calls, conferences and queues operating in their companies at the moment. It also lets them see the status and availability of co-workers, and set their own status for co-workers to see. Permissions set by management determine exactly who can see what. CEOs, for example, typically can view more information about calls, such as whom each person is talking to, than can other employees.

The Dashboard also lets users click to call internal or external numbers. For internal calls they can access a directory of employees whose names they can click on; otherwise they need to copy and paste phone numbers from other sources. Clicking a name or number generates a call first to the phone they wish to call from, and then to the one they wish to reach. That makes it particularly useful on the road, since it can work with any phone, including their cell phone or someone else's landline. And since it only requires a Web browser, they can use it from any computer.

Separate downloaded software provides integration with Microsoft Outlook, allowing users to click to call contacts from within that application. Future releases will have even more capabilities, according to Vocalocity executive vice president and general manager David Politis. Users will be able to see the calls they've missed, for example, and click to call back. They'll also be able record calls. And they'll be able to listen to voice mail messages and make notes about them from within Dashboard, something they currently have to do through the general Web portal where they manage their settings.

NET based SQL List Management

Manage your callings lists, leads, appointment info and sales records all with a click of a button. View real-time reports so you can manage your call center more effectively. Import different types of info using smart wizards. Using SQL as your database gives you the speed and flexibility to manage and create new campaigns by aggregating other campaigns on fields such as call status, number of attempts, and disposition.

We have built and designed customized Contact Management Systems (CMS) to allow Companies in Customer Relationship Management to keep track of their customers and new prospects activities and daily customer interaction needs. The world where outbound marketing meets customer relation is what we call "tracking" your sales, leads or appointments.

mix mega page

The Mega Drive is a fourth-generation video game console released by Sega in Japan in 1988 and Europe in 1990. The console was released in North America in 1989 under the name Genesis, as Sega was unable to secure legal rights to the Mega Drive name in that region. The Mega Drive, heavily marketed as "16-bit" due to its hardware, was Sega's fifth home console and the successor to the Sega Master System, with which it is electronically compatible.

The Mega Drive was the first of its generation to achieve notable market share in Europe and North America. It was a direct competitor of the TurboGrafx-16 (which was released one year earlier in Japan under the name PC Engine, but at about the same time as the Genesis in North America) and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (which was released two years later). The Mega Drive began production in Japan in 1988 and ended with the last new licensed game being released in 2002 in Brazil.

The Mega Drive was Sega's most successful console, with over 29 million units sold worldwide. The console and many of its games are still popular today: Some games have been re-released in compilations for newer consoles and/or offered for download on various online services, such as Xbox Live Arcade and Virtual Console. The console is also still popular for fan translations and indie game development.

Wireless GSM

Terrestrial GSM networks cover more than 80% of the world's population, providing the widest coverage of any cell phone technology.

Tieline Technology's 3G/3.5G UMTS/HSDPA module lets you connect over 3G, 3.5G and GSM wireless networks, providing flexible and adaptable wireless broadcast capabilities. So when wireless 3G broadband is unavailable you can still connect over GSM and do your live remote broadcast.

How does GSM work?

GSM uses a process called Circuit Switching, where a path is established between two devices through one or more switching nodes. Digital data is sent as a continuous bit stream, allowing the data to be heard from the receiving end while data is still being sent.

GSM Circuit Switched Data (CSD) connections are capable of sending single channel data at 9.6Kbps and high speed connections over HSCSD GSM networks are capable of sending a single data channel of up to 28.8Kbps.

Using GSM CSD technology Tieline codecs using the Voice G3 algorithm can send up to 7kHz audio quality over GSM networks throughout the US. With HSCSD connections they can send up to 15kHz audio using Tieline Music over networks in Europe, Asia and Canada.

GSM operates in the 900MHz and 1800MHz ranges in Europe and in the USA it uses the 850MHz and 1900MHz bands. Australia, Canada and several countries in Latin America use the 850MHz band. Visit www.gsmworld.com for more information about GSM coverage in your region.
