Subject: [HCDX] FIPB holds up Worldspace India's audio streaming plans
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Satellite radio company WorldSpace?s proposal to provide audio
music programmes for listening on its website has been returned to the
applicant. The FIPB board has advised the company to submit it afresh
after the government policy on the related activity is notified.
WorldSpace India will now have to wait until the notification
of Government policy pertaining to satellite radio services, to offer
streaming of audio music programmes on its website. The Web-based
service proposed by Worldspace is seen as B2C (business-to-consumer)
activity by the Government and hence needs separate permission.
Under the current law, Web-based service requires the Foreign Investment
Promotion Board clearance.
The deferring will delay the company's plans to deliver the
channels via its site, which would have spelt good news for its Indian
music subscribers in? different parts of the world. WorldSpace India
had stated that the programmes would be streamed, allowing it to
receive payment (in lieu of subscriptions to the service) and revenue.
It had also pointed out that the proposed service would only involve
streaming but not support playback, storage or recording of music.
The company wanted to promote the service, distribute and
transmit content over various mediums in locations outside India as
well. The proposal had come up for discussion in the previous meeting
of the FIPB in April this year, but was deferred.
Worldspace plans to go ahead with its overall organisational
plans and without any major changes in its approach of business
execution in India, While globally the company has been facing several
problems, in India, the company has been? optimistic about future
prospects, especially with the expected finalisation of the satellite
radio policy. At present, World Space provides 34 radio channels in
India that include BBC World and London-based WRN news
channels.(http://www.radioandmusic.com)

Subject: [HCDX] Stop and Listen ? BBC World Service invites audiences
to Save our Sounds
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Iconic images of cities, from the Sydney Opera House to the canals of Venice,
are etched in the public?s imagination, but BBC World Service is on a quest to
celebrate the often overlooked quality of sound. From bells, to taxi horns and
the shouts of street traders, BBC World Service?s new multimedia season Save
Our Sounds is on a quest to make people around the world stop, listen and think
about the defining noises around them.
The Save our Sounds website - bbcworldservice.com/saveoursounds ? has launched
an innovative interactive sound map. Audiences are able to record, and upload
sounds on to the world map to become part of a sonic worldview and an online
archive of global noises.
Resident Save Our Sounds micro-blogger Kate Arkless Gray will be talking to
acoustic practitioners and audiences online and via Twitter ( @BBC_SOS) ,
building a community around the project. The website will also feature regular
?sound challenges? and a ?desperately seeking sound? appeal?*. Later in the
season users will also be able to create their own soundscapes in a virtual 3D
landscape.
As part of this season, a new two part documentary, Discovery: Save Our Sounds
will premiere on Wednesday 8 and 15 July at 2030 BST on BBC World Service*.
Presented by acoustician Professor Trevor Cox, this series features a range of
experts including architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, sound
artists, psychologists and social scientists, all concerned with acoustic
ecology in the urban soundscape. The series will examine the impact of sound on
people?s lives, and question whether some distinct noises, from street markets,
to bells and street hawkers, are actually at risk of disappearing, drowned out
by new technologies and generic sounds like cooling fans and traffic.
Professor Cox also travels to one of the noisiest cities in the world, Hong
Kong, where engineers are pioneering new approaches to acoustic management, as
well as meeting an expert in the UK, who has been commissioned to create the
urban soundscape of the future.
Other BBC World Service programmes will be involved in the Save our Sounds
season. Outlook, from 15 June will focus on sounds from five parts of the world
which maybe in danger of disappearing, from the fish wives of Angola whose
songs resonate through the streets of Luanda, to chai wallahs pouring tea on
the streets on Delhi.

** CHILE [and non]. When I heard that CVC had moved Spanish to 11665 at
2300-0200, I assumed that replaced 6070 putting CFRX in the clear. Axually,
11665 replaces the last three hours on their other transmitter, 17680. June 9
at 2317, 11665 was VG with music, and on 6070 I could tell there were still two
carriers with a SAH between CFRX and CVC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake check June 10: at 1345, barely audible on 9000 and just
barely audible on 8400, and not on any of the usual higher frequencies (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. VOT, 9830, fair signal amid English to NAm at 2231 June 9 as Chris
Lewis, England, was on phone for the n-th time on Live from Turkey, except this
isn`t live but a playback of the 1830 broadcast --- and this time with no RTTY
QRM audible. I`m sure it will be back. VOT still hasn`t even acknowledged my
recording of RTTY way over them on a previous date. Also checked June 8 and the
RTTY was on but VOT signal underneath was a bit better than it had been (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. You never know whether WRMI will be on the air or not during the
afternoon: June 9 at 2231 check of 9955, it was not, when Radio Netherlands
could have, despite its best efforts to the contrary, again been broadcasting
in English to America thanks to WRN and this optional relay. I wonder if RN has
nixed it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Another big summer sporadic E opening June 10 at 1344, with WWCR
inbooming on 13845 and 15825, so another check of 18770 for the second harmonic
of WWRB 9385 --- yes, there is Brother Scare, easy copy peaking S9, into clip
of Obama talking about our multi-religious nation. At 1353 BS was offering a
Kaito 1123 as a premium for donations. Still audible on 18770 at 1417.
Back at 1345, this led me to look once again for harmonix from WWCR itself.
Yes, 19960 is audible for the first time with Pastor Pete Peters, 2 x 9980. But
just barely, fading in and out. There should be something on 14980 = 2 x 7490,
but nothing detected there.
Must make a note to look too for 27690 = 2 x 13845. And if a receiver tunes
that hi, unlike the FRG-7, 31650 = 2 x 15825. And well into VHF, higher
harmonix are quite possible from both stations when the Es is strong.
No axion at all on hambands 15, 12 and 10 meters, tho CB 11m was hopping full
of signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
