3G auction in FY10: Mukherjee

India's Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has decided to push ahead with the third-generation (3G) mobile spectrum auction within the current financial year ending March 31, the Financial Express newspaper reported on Friday, citing unnamed sources.


 
The auction was set to begin from Jan. 14, but Telecoms Minister Andimuthu Raja said on Jan. 12 some of the differences with the defense ministry were yet to be resolved and that a new date had not been agreed upon.

Media reports have said that the auction had been postponed to the next financial year.

The auction would now be conducted in the second half of March, with the entire process compressed into 15 days against the earlier scheduled one-and-a-half months, the report said citing unnamed sources.

The government, which is fighting a 16-year high fiscal deficit, is targeting to raise around 350 billion rupees ($7.53 billion) through the auction.

It hopes to use the proceeds to partly cut down the fiscal deficit, estimated to touch 6.8 percent of the gross domestic product in 2009/10.

IP Delivery Concept

It is the practice of using the IP, the network address of the connecting computer, whether robot or human, and sending different content based on that. The database used to assist with the process. In the case of geo-targeting: Databases stores various ranges of IP addresses, and indicates where this ranges of IPs are in the world. A geo-targeting script scans the list to see in which country the current IP is located. Programmer can use this value to effect changes in presentation or logic. In the case of cloaking : Databases stores the IP addresses of the various spiders that may hit your site. The cloaking script scans the list to see if the current IP is a spider. The programmer can use this information to effect changes in presentation or logic. Implementations of IP-delivery-based cloaking also look at the User-Agent header of the request.
