Nicki Minaj Talks To Beyonce For The First Time! Says Beyonce, "Defines Greatness"

Nicki Minaj speaks about the first time she met Beyonce after she performed with Jay-Z and was shocked at how down-to-earth the R&B beauty is.

"Just her name alone defines greatness, right?,"

Nicki gushed about Bey.

"That push that every woman wants to be… that driven.

"When I met her, she was a super sweetheart. The fact that she complimented me, I never forgot that. That stuck with me,"

adds Minaj, who last year said she wants to duet with Beyonce.

"She was like 'You killed it.' I was like, huh? That just didn’t even register and I kept on thinking, here is someone who I admire so much just because they are so driven. And she told me 'I killed it.'

"That really resonates with me, any woman or anybody who wants to go super hard. That was something big for me."

By the way Nicki's on her own way up, her debut album "Pink Friday" has passed Platinum status and she scored SNL is 2nd highest season rating last weekend.

Chris Brown Not Allowed To Attend The Grammys

Although recent rumors have been flying that singer Chris Brown was attempting to get a relaxation on his restraining order against singer Rihanna in order to attend the upcoming Grammy Awards, a representative for the star has recently said that is not the case.

Remember that "little thing" that happened with him and Riahnna back in 2009?

Chris had an extremely violent confrontation with then-girlfriend Rihanna at a pre-Grammys party and was then convicted of assault.

He was sentenced to five years of probation, six months of community service, and had to complete a domestic violence class. The singer recently finished his 52-week course and does not have to check in with a judge every three months to go over his progress reports.

On Friday, January 28, Brown’s lawyer went before Judge Patricia Schnegg in order to ask that the restraining order against Rihanna be relaxed. Schnegg said she would take the request into consideration, but no decision has yet been made.

The publicist for Brown recently acknowledged the rumors and said,

“This court date and the lifting of the restraining order is part of the planned ongoing legal proceedings.

The date was scheduled months ago. Chris Brown is very thankful for his Grammy nominations, but due to scheduling conflicts, he will not be attending the Grammys."

The 2011 Grammy Awards will take place on February 13 at Staples Center in Los Angeles and broadcast on CBS at 8 P.M. ET/PT.

Why is TRAI limiting Free SMS to 100 ( Per Day Per Sim )

According to this official document from TRAI, Free SMS in any form will be limited to 100 per day and no more. Now if you are wondering why, blame those numbers which were sending you unnecessary SMS of free job, free PAN service and so on. Yes you got it right, the telemarketers who misused the SMS pack from the operators.

The Authority is also aware that unsolicited commercial communications can be/are being sent by unregistered 52 telemarketers. Such messages can be sent by any person and they are essentially in the category of P2P communications. However, in order to curb such messages, the Authority has decided that no Access Providers shall provide any SMS packages in any form (through voucher, student pack, seasonal pack etc) permitting sending of more than 100 SMS per day per SIM except on blackout days or days specially notified by TRAI.

Any such package already in use shall be withdrawn w.e.f 31.12.2010. Provisions have also been made to disconnect the telecom resources after giving a notice if it is found that telemarketing activities are being done from the unregistered telemarketer. 

This is documented in Page 51 , 52 point 18. If you remember TRAI did roll out tough regulation for Telemarketers in December.

Overall this is a good step to restrict to an extent but it will be still tough for a customer as there is no place where they can call and register a complain. A telemarketer will have more then 3-4 SIM on an average and with SMS packs costing them peanuts, TRAI will have to figure out more ways to curb them.

Another sgement which will be affected on this are students who are the major buyers of SMS packs and this will directly impact the operators who are making lot of money for charging high on SMS ( call charges are lower these days ).

Issues With TRAI’s New Spam Call & SMS Regulations

TRAI’s new Spam Call and SMS regulations inhibit the open ecosystem in the VAS industry, especially the content businesses, and give more power to telecom operators to control what is in their pipe, without holding them accountable: there are guidelines, but no punitive damanges for indiscretions and oversight from telecom operators, but allows them to punish others at their discretion. However, there is no doubt that there was abuse of the open SMS pipe in India (they had it coming), and these stringent guidelines are likely to address several issues, even if they may create more issues. From a consumer perspective, she is best placed while in the NCPR, and in a worst case scenario, will at least be able to identify the spammer if not on the NCPR.

Please note that this is our reading of the regulations (with some suggestions from Mobile VAS companies that we agree with), and we’re open to correction. If there are any issues we may have missed, please leave a message, or contact nikhil [at] medianama.com. So, some issues:

- What about content distribution? The regulations suggests that any external party who wants to send over 100 SMS’ per day is a telemarketer, and needs to register as one, in order to avail of bulk SMS rates. Without registering, they can still send SMS’ at expensive P2P rates. (Thanks for correcting, Deepak) The regulations appear to take into account only transactional and commercial communication, but content is neither commercial nor transactional communication. Or is content delivery being treated as a transactional message? In which case, it is limited to account related information sent to its customer(s) by the Bank or financial institution or insurance company or credit card company or telco; information given by Airlines or Indian Railways or its authorised agencies to its passengers regarding travel schedules, ticket booking and reservation; information from a registered educational institution to parents or guardians of its students. Thus, off-deck SMS content and communities are dead.

- Punishes the intermediary or the telemarketer? With billions of messages, the aggregator, just like the telecom operator, has no control over the messages being sent via the system. So if XYZ Bank has six complaints ratified against it, will the intermediary be disconnected or just the bank? Is there safe harbor for the intermediary? If the intermediary is protected, then that means that several entities entity will have to register as a telemarketer: if MediaNama is sending updates via using Google SMS, or a community on SMS Gupshup also have to register as a telemarketer, and pay Rs. 10000 and deposit Rs. 1 lakh deposit? For enterperise messaging, will every SME will have to do the same? This doesn’t augur well for the enterprise messaging business.

- Kills individual SMS brands? If, however, intermediaries have to register as telemarketers, in order to facilitate message sending, then it also affects individual brands: For example, responses or messages from 9232232665 (92-FACEBOOK), will have to come through with the name of the intermediary they tie up with. There is no clear alphanumeric identifier for a brand, and each sender via each telco has a unique ID.

- Too much power in the hands of the telecom operator: there is no option for a telemarketer or legitimate content distributor to present his case. It’s a six strike policy, with the telecom operator playing judge, jury and executioner. No redressal system for the telemarketer has been identified in the guidelines, in case of false accusations (more on ID spoofing below).

- One category fits all? What about selective opt-in? Lets say I want to opt in for messages from MediaNama’s hosting service provider E2E Networks, for messages informing me that the server is down. Messages from them will be in the IT category (6). By opting in for the IT category, am I thus opening myself to ALL promotional messages from category 6 – including Broadcasting, Communication and Entertainment? Will, say, STAR Plus now be able to send me messages informing me of the latest soap? The other thing is that even network-status messages from our hosting service provider will be deemed to be commercial communication, not transactional. Transactional messages are limited to certain categories (as we mentioned in our first point above).

- Killing mobile SMS advertising? One can understand not allowing companies to slip in promotional messages to a consumer on the NCPR who has subscribed to content, but why has the TRAI banned promotional messages within the SMS? Especially in case content messages are being treated as transactional messages, then this unnecessary clause preventing in-message advertising kills ad supported SMS content model.

- What about free p2p SMS services? The way ad supported free SMS services like 160by2 work, they send the messages, but the sender ID shown is that of a person sending the message. This now prevents them from using that sender ID.

- What about number churn? Often an issue is that a subscriber churns out, and the telecom operator allocates the number to a new subscriber. In case of SMS based free community and content services like SMS Gupshup and MyToday, there is no way of accounting for this churn since the number hasn’t been unsubscribed. Will the NCPR account for this number churn, so that these messages are filtered at the source? Else there will be complaints against these companies.

- Six strikes too few? Some VAS companies that we’ve spoken with have suggested that the six strike (six legimitate complaints) policy is too risky, especially if you take into account billions of messages being sent across telecom operators.

- Risk of ID Spoofing: Since all telemarketers will have access to the NCPR data, the system is open to abuse with ID spoofing. One VAS company asked – “What stops me from getting a competitor banned by spoofing his Sender ID?”

- What happens if the Originating and Terminating Telco are the same? Will a telecom operator register a legitimate complaint against his own telemarketer? In my experience – no. Two months ago, over two weeks, I received three calls from a marketer for Airtel, offering me a number similar to my existing number. I filed a DNC complaint – after fighting with the Airtel customer care exec who was trying to avoid filing a complaint, only to receive a message a few weeks later that my DNC complaint was incomplete. It was not, but it handn’t been registered accurately, I believe, on purpose.

On a positive note: the 100 SMS limit for consumers, who earlier were buying SMS packs of 500 SMS’, will push people towards mobile IM and the mobile Internet. So this is a big win for the Mobile Internet
