‘Radio is the theater of the mind’ – 100 quote
CREATIVE Radio is the theater of the mind 100 quotes on World Radio Day MADANMOHAN RAO , 13 FEBRUARY 2017 <...> Each medium has reinvented itself with the advent of successive new media waves with perhaps a few exceptions, such as the near-extinct cassette tape! Radio transmission and broadcasting have come a long way since developments such as the founding of the Marconi Corporation 120 years ago, in 1897. Radio transformed print media, news, sports, politics, music, home entertainment, education and even the driving experience, and would in turn have to reinvent itself with the advent of TV, satellite, internet and mobile phones. I have had the good fortune of being an RJ in India and in the US, on FM radio (WMUA), satellite radio (Worldspace) and internet (Radiowalla), each with differing strengths in immediacy of user feedback, national reach, breadth of customisable choices, and monetisation. UNESCO has designated February 13 as World Radio Day, to celebrate its strengths in fields like socio-economic development; recent annual themes have been women empowerment and youth mobilisation. Broadcasters, regulators and audiences alike should nurture and make the most of its power, according to Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO. Asia has added its own flavour to the world of radio, with Kotmale radio-internet surfing (Sri Lanka), CGNet Swara (community radio via mobiles among tribal communities in India) and even the award-winning Kan Khajura Tesan (on-demand entertainment via mobile radio in Bihar). See also YourStorys coverage of community radio and startups in India such as Anchor, Audiomatic, Radio Raja, One Beep, and SamaritanPhone. Perhaps no invention of modern times has delivered so much while initially promising so little, observes Guy Gugliotta. In this compilation of over 100 quotes, we capture the promise, potential and pitfalls of radio over the decades, as it continues to morph and evolve. Happy reading or, happy listening! More than eighty years after the world's first station was founded, radio is still the most pervasive, accessible, affordable, and flexible mass medium available, especially in the developing world.

It's a little bit like having your own radio program. - Margaret Atwood Radio is closer to a Tumblr, or a blog, or Twitter, than it is to television, I think. - Ira Glass People don't listen to terrestrial radio. They don't find their music that way. They don't get their news that way. They go to blogs. They go through Sirius/XM. - Kaskade The fear of the never-ending onslaught of gizmos and gadgets is nothing new. The radio, the telephone, Facebook - each of these inventions changed the world. Each of them scared the heck out of an older generation. And each of them was invented by people who were in their
India, biometrics ... and the debate
Published on 7 Sep 2016 Speaker: Sunil Abraham, Centre for Internet and Society (CIS). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9uOBAqjIMg This talk reflects on several aspects of the Aadhaar project from a technical perspective. First, there is a reflection on biometrics as a unique, identification and authentication technology. Second, there is a critique of open washing by the UIDAI through their adoption of free software and open standards and finally there is an analysis of alternative technical solutions and architecture which will allow India to harvest the benefits of identity management without the harms and risks of centralized biometrics. http://macrofinance.nipfp.org.in/ -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ � Frederick Noronha � http://about.me/noronhafrederick http://goa1556.in _/ � P +91-832-2409490 M 9822122436 Twitter @fn Fcbk:fredericknoronha _/ � Hear Goa,1556 shared audio content at https://archive.org/details/goa1556 _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_ /_/_/_/_/_/_/ # distributed via : no commercial use without permission #is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:

INDIA: Adhar... India's much-debated biometric and demographic data
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is a central government agency of India.^ Its objective is to collect the biometric and demographic data of residents, store them in a centralised database, and issue a 12-digit unique identity number called Aadhaar to each resident.^^ It is considered the world's largest national identification number project.^^ As of March 2016, the original legislation to back UIDAI is still pending in the Parliament of India.^ However, on 3 March 2016, a new money bill was introduced in the Parliament for the purpose.^ On 11 March 2016, the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other Subsidies, benefits and services) Act, 2016, was passed in the Lok Sabha.^ On 26 March, 2016, The Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of financial & Other Subsidies, Benefits & Services) Act, 2016 was notified in the Gazette of India.^ Some civil liberty groups, like Citizens Forum for Civil Liberties and Indian Social Action Forum (INSAF), have opposed the project on privacy concerns. On 23 September 2013, the Supreme Court of India issued an interim order saying that "no person should suffer for not getting Aadhaar" as the government cannot deny a service to a resident if s/he does not possess Aadhaar, as it is voluntary and not mandatory.^ In another interim order on 11 August 2015, the Supreme Court of India ruled that "UIDAI/Aadhaar will not be used for any other purposes except PDS, kerosene and LPG distribution system" and made it clear that even for availing these facilities Aadhaar card will not be mandatory.^^^ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aadhaar * * * http://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/aadhaar-authentication-on-phones-is-for-manufacturers-to-decide-ajay-bhushan-pandey-116091501174_1.html Aadhaar authentication on phones is for manufacturers to decide: Ajay Bhushan Pandey Interview with Chief executive officer, Unique Identification Authority of India Nitin Sethi | New Delhi September 16, 2016 Last Updated at 00:25 IST Ajay Bhushan Pandey Govt pushes for mobile phones with vernacular language access Aadhaar law has good data protection & privacy provisions: A B P Pandey I have long said we need a privacy law but Aadhaar has safeguards: Nandan Nilekani India's Aadhaar mandate for smartphone makers may rile global firms Why is the UIDAI cracking down on individuals that hoard Aadhaar data? Ajay Bhushan Pandey, CEO of UIDAI speaks to Nitin Sethi on the way forward for Aadhaar now that allregulations are in place and addresses some controversies that are dogging theplatform. You have the regulations in place now to operationlise the entire Aadhaar law? Yes, when Aadhaar Act says certain actions such as enrolment, authentication, privacy, will happen as per regulations. To operationalise the act, the regulations had to be put in place. This week we have done so to make all provisions of the act operational. There are still no regulations in some areas, such as a grievance redress mechanism? What other such things are left to detail out? In case of regulations in several places we have said that something or the other will be done as per process approved by the UIDAI or specifications approved by UIDAI. Already there are specifications and processes in place. Now these regulations will have to be read along with those process or mechanism document. Today we already have those documents in place. The regulations say that all processes that were being followed so far and are not inconsistent with the act and the regulations will continue to have legal bearing. For example if you are using the enrolment software or hardware, what should be the specifications? All these cannot as such become part of the regulations. So in regulations we have said these specifications will be laid down by the authority and we had already laid them down earlier. So when will the grievance redress system become functional? Actually if you see, we already have a grievance redressal system within the UIDAI. We have a call centre. Any resident can call 1947 and can register their grievance. Today every day we get 1.5 lakh calls every day. Of these 50% are addressed through the automated system and the rest need handling by operators. We monitor every week the nature of the difficulty people are facing? What is the predominant complaint at the moment? That changes from time to time. Currently people are concerned where they can get Aadhaar or that they have enrolled but not received it. We devise our media strategy accordingly to educate people and if some corrections have to be made within our system we try to address that as a systematic issue besides attending to the individual problem.

INDIA: Publishers vs. Delhi University students... and David wins!
Good news! This case pertains to some ludicrous copyright violation allegations made by major publishers, involving Indian university students (and cheap photocopying outlets) reproducing their work for educational purposes. See the comments on the judgement below. I believe the role of publishers is to spread knowledge, not to block it. Also, as a class we publishers should not be so stingy just to maintain desired or dreamt-of standards of affluence. Fair use and readers' rights should also be kept in mind and enforced. FN http://spicyip.com/2016/09/breaking-news-major-victory-for-students-and-educational-access-in-du-photocopy-case.html COPYRIGHT Breaking News: Major Victory for Students and Educational Access in DU Photocopy Case! by Shamnad Basheer September 16, 2016 As many of you may have heard, the Delhi High Court just handed down a major IP verdict in the DU photocopy case. In a 94 page decision, the court (Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw) dismissed the suit of the plaintiffs (CUP, OUP and other leading academic publishers) and held that the educational exception under section 52(1)(i) of the copyright act is broad enough to cover the acts of photocopying and the creation of course packs by Delhi University (DU) for their students. For background to this case, see our posts here and here. Other posts with the tag DU can be found here. As some of you know, a group of us academics (drawn from the law and social sciences) intervened in this DU copyright matter and presented arguments to the court. We formed an association called SPEAK (Society for the Promotion of Educational Access and Knowledge) for this purpose. Our counsel was Swathi Sukumar, a terrific lawyer at the Delhi high court, who was led by the wonderful Neeraj Kishen Kaul, a leading senior counsel. Similarly a number of students had formed an association called ASEAK and their counsel was Jawahar Raja, an exceptional lawyer (I had the great privilege of going to law school with him). DU�s counsel was the truly gifted Gopal Subramanium (one of India�s leading senior counsels or silks) who ran a rather maverick argument stating that the earlier framework where one qualified an act as an infringement and only then went into the �defences� was wrong and in cases such as this, there is no infringement at all in the first place. From my limited understanding of the order at this point, I believe the judge did incorporate this insight into his decision. On a broader note, it seems like the court was pleased to accept many of the arguments that we had advanced. Here are the key highlights based on a quick understanding of the order (this is my version and only I am to be held responsible if there are any errors). 1. The judge (Justice Endlaw: god bless his soul!) dismissed the publishers� law suit as a whole. Noting that there was no cause of action at all. Since there was no actionable infringement in this case. All the alleged copying is covered under the broad educational exception under section 52(1)(i) of the copyright act. In short, the judge noted that there was no need for trial at all in this matter, since there was no actionable infringement. 2. The decision stands at a whooping 94 pages! 3. The judge explicitly stated that the educational exception under section 52(1) (i) should be construed widely and clearly covers the present set of acts engaged in by DU (photocopying excerpts of books etc and creating course packs). Plaintiffs� argument that it should cover only photocopying in the classroom is incorrect. The exception should cover all kinds of educational copying including copying for the purpose of preparatory work towards a class etc. 3. Copyright is not a �divine� right! The judge actually said this! I repeat: God bless his soul! 4. IRRO doesn�t even come into play since educational exception covers the alleged acts. And no need to pay IRRO. So out goes the IRRO business model strategy, which I believe is why this suit was brought in the first place at all. 5. If DU can photocopy, so can its agents (Rameshwari photocopiers) or any photocopier for that matter, whether inside or outside the University. This decision will prove one of the biggest landmarks in IP jurisprudence the world over. And clearly spells out that private rights will have to yield to larger social goals which have to be interpreted widely. Much like the Supreme Court decision in the Novartis case, this decision too makes it amply clear that while India will be guided by foreign precedent, it will carve out its own IP jurisprudence and interpret the law in a way that suits its own societal requirements. On a related note, I�m really happy to

nettime India-EVMs
http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-06-28/news/50929437_1_evms-senior-ec-officials-machines Election Commission to scrap EVMs whose infallibility was questioned during Lok Sabha polls Ritika Chopra, ET Bureau Jun 28, 2014, 04.00AM IST NEW DELHI: It's vanaprastha time for these old warhorses of Indian elections. And unlike some lush forest, the setting for this will probably be in a junkyard for electronics goods. The Election Commission of India (ECI) could soon embark on a wholesale junking exercise in which up to 900,000 electronic voting machines, or EVMs, could be headed for the scrapyard in the next five years, after their supposed infallibility was questioned during the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls when some defective machines reportedly recorded all votes in favour of just one political party. In early April, in the run-up to the final polling day in Assam, election officials stumbled upon a voting machine in Jorhat constituency which transferred all votes cast to the BJP candidate. A similar incident was reported from a polling booth in Pune a few weeks later, when voters found their vote being cast in favour of the Congress party irrespective of the button pressed on the electronic voting machine. Although the defective units were replaced immediately, media reports on the faulty machines had political parties and activists questioning the efficacy of EVMs in general. An embarrassed EC has now decided to embark on a major revamp ??? the largest ever ??? of its EVM stock and abandon all 15-year-old voting machines and replace them with new ones before the next Lok Sabha elections in 2019. According to senior EC officials, some 900,000 EVMs are set to complete 15 years of age before the year 2019. The commission has prepared a detailed plan to get rid of them and replace them with new ones over the next five years, said a senior EC official, who requested anonymity as he is not authorised to speak to the media. The proposal for the exercise, which could cost around Rs 1,000 crore, was sent to the Modi government last week. EVMs, which are now the backbone of elections, were first used across the country in the 2004 Lok Sabha election, making India even ahead of several developed countries where paper ballots are still the norm. The use of EVMs in India started in 1981, but these were mostly done in the form of pilot programmes and were scaled up in subsequent elections. The adoption of EVMs accelerated from 2000-01 onwards and by 2004, EVMs were the norm. In the 2014 general elections, the commission had deployed close to 16 lakh EVMs. Complaints regarding these machines, senior EC officials say, have surfaced recently and only in those EVMs which were procured in the year 2000-2001 at the cost of around Rs 10,000 per unit. One of the machines' manufacturer, Hyderabad-based state-run Electronics Corporation of India Ltd, on EC's directive, found that the 2000-2001 batch machines were acting up because of a defective part. They offered to repair these machines, but the commission decided to not take chances and dispose them off. There are about 1-1.5 lakh EVMs from this batch and they will be destroyed first as soon as the law ministry (EC's parent body) approves the proposal, the official added. -- FN P +91-832-2409490 M +91-9822122436 http://goa1556.in # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org

JPMorgan cancels Twitter QA after receiving 'offensive' questions Published time: November 14, 2013 23:54 Edited time: November 15, 2013 01:13 Get short URL AFP Photo / Timothy A. Clary / Files Share on tumblr Tags Banking, Internet, USA JPMorgan canceled a question-and-answer session on Twitter Wednesday after receiving a barrage of critical questions skewering the multinational banking company for legal problems, foreclosure practices, and other ethical transgressions. Starting at least since last week, JPMorgan, the investment and services portion of financial behemoth JPMorgan Chase Co, asked followers and others on Twitter to send questions about the bank’s operations for veteran investment banker and company vice chairman Jimmy Lee using the hashtag #AskJPM ahead of the planned Thursday session. Few had used the hashtag until Wednesday afternoon, after JPMorgan sent a follow-up tweet on Tuesday promoting the event. After the reminder tweet, the floodgates opened. Questions - or, often, heckling - ranged from highly critical of the bank’s practices to complete non sequiturs. Company CEO Jamie Dimon was a particularly popular target among the taunters. Twitter users also criticized the bank’s billions of dollars of fines to mortgage regulators and its connection to low quality mortgage securities tied to the 2008 financial crisis. Among the “questions” posed to JPMorgan: JPMorgan cut its losses and canceled the Thursday QA on Wednesday evening. The tweet barrage inspired a dramatic reading of some of the tweets by actor Stacy Keach. Following the cancellation, David Dayen, a longtime progressive blogger, announced he would - tongue in cheek - answer #AskJPM questions in place of JPMorgan. http://rt.com/usa/jpmorgan-twitter-qa-canceled-745/ -- FN Phone +91-832-2409490 Mobile +91-9822122436 Blog: The View From My Window http://wp.me/1c1F About.me: http://about.me/noronhafrederick Goa,1556: http://bit.ly/Goa1556Books2 # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org
