Onesuite dropped rates to China, Taiwan and Hongkong

Posted by zahirblog on February 1, 2008

Calling China cheaperWell my favorite calling card company Onesuite.com just dropped their rates for calling
China, Taiwan and Hongkong just for the whole month of February, in time for Chinese New year celebrations. Long distance rates are lowered from 2.2 cents per minute to 1.8 cents per minute to China and from 3 cents per minute to 1.9 cents per minute to Taiwan.

Gone are the days where everyone talks hurriedly when talking on an overseas call. Competition from small and medium calling card companies like Onesuite makes consumer happy and big players trying to re asses their positions.

Now everyone can enjoy calling their love ones with the reduced rates for as low as 1.8 cents per minute which reminds me that this is the perfect time to call some of my Chinese friends.

Kung Hei Fat Choi everyone!

Indian consortium to buy Super Aguri?

Posted by zahirblog on February 1, 2008

Super AguriThe Indian telco Spice Group has confirmed that it is interested in buying into the struggling Super Aguri Formula One team.

The Mohali-based company is reportedly leading a consortium of fellow Indian corporates, possibly including the business group Tata as a potential sponsor, who are keen to join the Grand Prix circus and bring former Jordan racer and Williams test driver Narain Karthikeyan back to the grid.

Spice Group is already involved in single seater motor racing, and with Karthikeyan, through promotion of the Indian A1 GP team.

The Indian publication Daily News and Analysis (DNA) reports that the Spice consortium proposes a buyout price of just $1, including underwriting the small Japanese team’s $47m in debt. Aguri Suzuki will reportedly be left in charge.

Spice CEO Andaleeb Sehgal on Wednesday would not confirm that the Super Aguri takeover is complete.

“There has been no acquisition yet,” he said. “We are talking to two teams at the moment. One of them is Super Aguri.”

“Now we are waiting to come up with a realistic valuation of the team. Should we find a number within our reach we will then proceed to buy,” Sehgal added.

Well I will certainly welcome another Indian F1 team and hopefully Narain will take the other F1 seat.
