Premium routers for high-speed connectivity in India

<p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/better-capitalism"></a></p>                     <p>Japan was the first country to build narrow-gauge railways dedicated to high-speed trains. Today it has some of the fastest trains in the world. Here's how Japan did it. </p>

How Japan solved high-speed rail

<p><div class="image-container float_right" style="width:401px"><div class="image"><p class="source"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/marsupilami92/5943743172/sizes/l/in/photostream/">marsupilami92 / Creative Commons</a></p></div></div>In an effort to boost ridership on its high-speed rail system, <keyword id="6354785" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="France">France</keyword> is offering a new low-cost service, with fares from the Paris suburbs to the Mediterranean coast for as little as €10 ($13).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ouigo.com/en">Ouigo</a> (as in "We Go"), an independently run subsidiary of the SNCF, France's national rail company, will begin operation on April 2. SNCF President Guillaume Pepy calls it the best high-speed rail deal in the world, <a href="http://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/services/transport-logistique/20130219trib000749727/sncf-ouigo-le-tgv-encore-moins-cher-qu-en-chine.html">according to La Tribune</a>.</p>
<p>Ouigo will operate its own <keyword id="6360847" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Trains">trains</keyword>, with more frequent service than the SNCF currently offers. To allow for such cheap fares, it will adopt the <keyword id="6358021" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="budget">budget</keyword> travel model offered by airlines like easyJet and <keyword id="137187" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Ryanair">Ryanair</keyword>.</p>
<p>That means cutting service and adding fees. Passengers can bring only one small bag (about the size of an airplane carry-on) and a purse or backpack.</p>
<p>In a move reminiscent of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/spirit-airlines-100-carry-on-fee-2012-10">Spirit Airlines' $100 carry-on bag fee</a>, if a traveler waits until boarding time to pay for an extra bag, there's a €40 charge. If done ahead of time, the cost is only €5.</p>
<p>Seating in a car with outlets costs an extra €2; getting information about a reservation via the phone requires another €1, <a href="http://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2013/02/19/ouigo-ou-comment-ameliorer-la-productivite-de-la-sncf_1835084_3234.html">according to Le Monde</a>.</p>
<p>Reservations can be changed for €10 (€20 if done on the phone), but not fully reimbursed, and there is no food or drink service on the train.</p>
<p>Another tradeoff for taking Ouigo is that its Paris hub is in Marne la Vallée (where Euro Disney is located) — a €7.30 trip from the city center on the RER, Paris' commuter rail system. Ouigo stations in Lyon, Marseille, and Montpellier are much more central.</p>
<p>As <a href="http://www.thetransportpolitic.com/2013/02/24/in-france-a-truly-low-cost-high-speed-rail-option/">Yonah Freemark at the Transport Politic points out</a>, the SNCF has no competitors in the domestic market, and Ouigo is meant to target travelers who prefer driving to taking the train. (Many of those potential customers own their own cars and live in the Paris suburbs, so the extra RER trip is a minor factor.)</p>
<p>Only 10 percent of all Ouigo tickets will be priced at €10; the rest will cost at most €85, according to Freemark. But for those travelers who snatch up the reduced tickets, it's an excellent deal — especially when France's expensive road tolls and gas prices are accounted for.</p>

France Is Making High-Speed Rail Travel Incredibly Cheap

<br /> A passenger train set a new speed record of running at 160 kilometres an hour (100 miles an hour) during a trial run between <keyword id="6358777" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="New-Delhi">New Delhi</keyword> and <keyword id="6356295" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Agra">Agra</keyword>. The train covered the distance of 200 kilometres between New Delhi and Agra in 90 minutes.<br />
<br />
"This is now the fastest train in India. We are recording all technical parameters during the trial run and hope to introduce it to the public by this November," Delhi Divisional Railway Manager Anurag Sachan said. <br />
<br />
While fast by Indian standards, the speed is way below the Japanese Shinkansen, which Modi admires, which touches 320 kilometres an hour.<br />
<br /> The government is set to roll out extensive plans to overhaul the railways when it will present the railway budget. The introduction of <keyword id="687728" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="high-speed-rail">high-speed rail</keyword> links and bullet trains were one of the key poll promises of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. <br />
<br />
"The cost of upgrading tracks, signal systems and other related infrastructure isn't high on some of the corridors which already have other high speed trains," said Sachan. <br />

<br /> The <keyword id="28168" type="TECHNOLOGY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Smartphone">smartphone</keyword> market in India has been on a growth spree. It has gained the status of the fastest growing smartphone market across the globe, and has also become the third largest smartphone market, next to China and the US. (Source: UK-based consultancy firm, Canalys)<br />
 <br />
The smartphone sales in the second quarter of 2014 saw a growth of 84% as against the sales in the same quarter last year. According to a Nielsen report, the smartphone market in urban India grew by 89% in the calendar year 2013 as against the calendar year 2012. There were 51 million people using smartphones in urban India in 2013 as compared to 2012.<br />
               <br />
And it is likely to keep zooming ahead. As predicted by the International Data Corporation (IDC), annual smartphone sales growth in India is estimated to be at 40% for the next five years.<br />
 <br />
Currently, the share of smartphones in the Indian handsets market has reached 10%. Going by the trend of consumers in other countries, when the smartphone market reaches 10%, it reflects a major shift in consumer attitude in adopting smartphones.<br />
 <br />
There are many reasons which drive this growth of smartphone market in India.<br />
 <br />
<strong>A new entry price and myriad of brands</strong><br />
The smartphone market in the country has a host of new brands, both indigenous and international, and that brings intense competition. This has led to smartphone makers lowering their margins and making phones available at affordable price. There is a lower entry price set for smartphones almost every month. The cheapest smartphone in the Indian market at present is the Intex Cloud FX, which is a joint effort of Intex and Mozilla. This smartphone is available at a price of Rs 1,999. Compare that with an average price of Rs 15000 just two years ago. Certainly, this huge fall in price and the number of options is converting a lot of feature phone users into smartphone buyers.<br />
 <br />
<strong>Internet on mobile</strong><br />
Another key driver of growth in smartphone sales is Internet usage on mobile. India lacks a robust fixed-line Internet infrastructure. This has led us to take a technological jump and rely on mobile broadband technologies (including smartphones) for high-speed Internet access to the masses. Industry reports suggest that more than 90% of Internet access in India is facilitated through mobile. This makes smartphones play a more important role than just a device to talk, and that’s further making people opt for a smartphone.<br />
 <br />
<strong>Exclusive online distribution</strong><br />
Early this year, Motorola’s re-entry in the Indian market with Moto G started a new trend of online distribution of smartphones. Motorola opted for an online-only distribution model and joined hands with Flipkart to sell its smartphones. This played well not only for Motorola, but also opened the online channel for many other smartphone brands. Xiaomi and Asus are a couple of brands, which have made good use of the online distribution channel after Motorola’s success.<br />
 <br />
So how does online distribution push smartphone growth? Well, online distribution model helps companies save a lot of money that would have been spent in building up a physical distribution network. Not to forget the significant savings made with no distributor and retailer margins, which usually account for about 6-15% of the total cost. This helps smartphone companies offer their product at a more lucrative price. Experts estimate that the smartphone companies are able to cut costs by about Rs 3000-5000, which lures many consumers who would have not considered it otherwise.<br />
 <br />
<strong>EMI options</strong><br />
The last couple of years have also seen EMI options from smartphone makers, which have made them affordable. Even Apple has some lucrative offers and EMI options for its high-priced phones. Many other brands, including Samsung, Motorola, Asus, besides others, have these EMI options, fuelling the overall growth of smartphones in the country.<br />
 <br />
<strong>The road ahead</strong><br />
According to predictions by IDC, the below ‘$200 segment’ will play a very significant role in driving growth in the smartphone market. Most of the growth in the next few months in this category is expected to come from the first-time smartphone buyers, and most of them have a limited disposable income. Thus, competitive pricing is going to be very important in this game.<br />
 <br /> In this light, Google’s approach to reap this segment through <keyword id="2373897" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Android-One">Android One</keyword> is a strategy that will not only benefit the company, but also the market on the whole. The company has partnered with Indian handset makers <keyword id="71696" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Micromax">Micromax</keyword>, <keyword id="145729" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Karbonn">Karbonn</keyword> and <keyword id="6378177" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Spice">Spice</keyword> to launch smartphones under $100 with the Android One platform.<br />
<br />
Keeping in mind the size of mobile users in India and Internet usage through mobile, the smartphone market’s whopping growth is here to stay for quite a while, provided the companies are able to get the price-feature combination right. <br />

<br />
<br />
It will take six whole years for the Mumbai­-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor but the Railway Minister says that the fare will be less than airfare.<br /> Railway Minister <keyword id="6356597" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Suresh-Prabhu">Suresh Prabhu</keyword> today in <keyword id="6355187" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Lok-Sabha">Lok Sabha</keyword> said the ambitious project is doable and the highspeed train project would be cost effective too. The high speed bullet train is expected to cover 508 km between Mumbai and Ahmedabad in about two hours, running at a maximum speed of 350 kmph and operating speed of 320 kmph. At present, Duronto Express takes about seven hours to cover the distance between the two financial centres.<br />
<br />
Talking about the massive funding received for the particular project, Prabhu said "there was no regional bias. Every state has got more than double than earlier." The high speed rail project has been sanctioned with technical and financial assistance from the government of Japan and the joint feasibility study of the project has already been done by Japanese International Agency.<br />
<br />
The 508km long Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor is estimated to cost about Rs 97,636 crore, 81 per cent of the funding for the project will come in form of a loan from Japan. The project cost includes possible cost escalation, interest during construction and import duties. The project is being funded by Japan with a soft loan for 50 years at 0.1 per cent annual interest with 15 years' moratorium. Rolling stock and other equipment like signalling and power system will be imported from Japan as per the loan agreement.<br />
<br />
Railways has spelt out its policy with regard to running of high speed and semi­high speed trains by identification of potential routes for both kinds of train services. Prabhu said feasibility studies for other high speed corridors have been awarded to various railway companies. Delhi­-Mumbai high speed corridor has been awarded to the consortium of the Third Railway Survey and Design Institute Group Corporation (Chinese consultant) and Lahmeyer International from India. Feasibility study of high speed corridors on Mumbai­- Chennai, Delhi­-Kolkata, Delhi­-Nagpur and Mumbai­-Nagpur have also been awarded to different global consultants.<br />
<br />
Prabhu said railways have identified nine corridors for feasibility of semi-­high speed rail. Delhi­-Chandigarh, Chennai­-Bengaluru­-Mysore, Delhi­-Kanpur, Nagpur­-Bilaspur, Mumbai-­Goa, Mumbai-Ahmedabad, Chennai­-Hyderabad and Nagpur­-Secunderabd are being considered for semi-­high speed routes.<br />

<p><keyword id="564557" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="high-speed-rail">High speed rail</keyword> is moving forward in California, but progress is pretty stagnant around the rest of the country. Still, there are a lot of proposals out there, and when placed on one map, they form an impressive rail network.</p>
<p>This map was put together by <a href="http://www.californiarailmap.com/">California Rail Map</a>, led by Alfred Twu, which combined existing proposals from high speed rail advocacy groups around the US. Twu <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/feb/06/us-high-speed-rail-network-possible">described his process for the Guardian</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Instead of detailing construction phases and service speeds, I took a little artistic license and chose colors and linked lines to celebrate America's many distinct but interwoven regional cultures.</p>
<p>The US High Speed Rail Association, a nonprofit trade association, predicts a network similar to this one <a href="http://www.ushsr.com/ushsrmap.html">could be in place by 2030</a>.</p>
<p>Transporation Secretary <a href="http://www.ushsr.com/ushsrmap.html">Ray LaHood has called for a large HSR network</a>, saying it could link 80 percent of Americans within 25 years, for $500 billion.</p>
<p>Based on this map, starting in Los Angeles, a high speed train could get to New York, with stops in Denver and Chicago, in well under 18 hours.</p>
<p>Considering the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/judge-rules-californias-69-billion-bullet-train-project-will-go-on-2012-11">significant funding</a> and political will any large rail project needs, it's hard to imagine all this will be built. But <a href="http://www.cahsrblog.com/2013/02/a-national-high-speed-rail-route-map/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=a-national-high-speed-rail-route-map">Robert Cruickshank at the California High Speed Rail Blog argues</a> just visualizing the network is a good thing:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">But before the Interstate Highway System was authorized, it had to first be conceptualized on a map.
