Lapses of reason can happen even with the soundest systems and highest standards of rectitude. However, if, and when, they do happen, an opportunity to re-examine the standards and practices or S&P process presents itself. (Representational Image) Broadcast networks have been in the crosshairs of the moral, and even the actual, police for decades, for the alleged crime of airing content which offends people’s sensibilities, for legal, moral, religious, or a sheaf of other reasons. This vulnerability can impose serious costs upon a broadcaster. In India, for instance, content that falls foul of the code prescribed under the Cable Television Networks Rules, 1994, could in extremis result in a broadcast channel losing its licence. As early as the 1950s, broadcaster networks in the United States, recognising the perils of airing offensive content, started putting in place a system of checks and balances to catch offensive content before it was aired. Since then, Broadcast … [Read more...] about Storyboard18 | Layer’r Shot debacle: Industry bodies should push for S&P compliance, in letter and spirit

On Thursday (June 23), the media reported that Tajuddin was removed as an MT member via a letter on Tuesday. (File photo by The Edge) - A + A KUALA LUMPUR (June 24): Pasir Salak Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman himself knows why he was dropped from the Umno supreme council (MT) and what he had done to the party, said Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Ahmad Zahid said it would be unfair for others to disclose this publicly and it is best for the media to ask Tajuddin why he was removed. “Ask him what statements he has made, the contents of his speeches or ceramah, or what he said in closed-door meetings,” the party president told reporters when asked whether Tajuddin was dropped for breaching party regulations. Ahmad Zahid was speaking to reporters after the launch of the Barisan Nasional Youth Career Carnival 2022 at the World Trade Centre here on Friday (June 24). On Thursday, the media reported that Tajuddin was removed … [Read more...] about Tajuddin knows why he was removed from Umno supreme council, says Zahid

Naveen Tewari, Chief Executive Officer of InMobi. Image Credit: Tech in Asia. About 25 to 40 percent of Indian unicorns will struggle to survive during the current bust cycle and will eventually shut down owing to foolish business models and negative unit economics, according to Naveen Tewari, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of InMobi. “You will see probably 25 percent to 40 percent of the existing unicorns will just go away in this phase,” said Tewari in a recent episode of Bits to Billions . According to Tewari, a major issue with several Indian unicorns is they have foolish business models. He said, “You cannot have a business model saying I want to give you something worth 100 rupees for 80 rupees, please come and get it. Oh, I just built a billion-dollar business. That's not how it works.” Also Read: InMobi's Glance aims to cross one billion users in 2-3 years, says CEO Naveen Tewari Tewari believes such unicorns might become zombie unicorns and eventually shut … [Read more...] about 25-40% unicorns won’t survive due to foolish models, negative unit economics: InMobi CEO Naveen Tewari

Yatish Rajawat – What was your objective in writing the book and what do you think is its impact? Harish Mehta - I’ll go back to say, 3 years, when I was reading books of RBI governors, IAS officers, politicians, etc. I have been involved with NASSCOM from the beginning and have seen how NASSCOM and the IT industry have evolved and how India has changed, I’m very proud of what everyone has done in this process. However, I didn’t see any of those books giving any credit to our industry - NASSCOM is not even listed anywhere, leave alone its contribution. There is an African proverb you may remember or know, “If lions had historians the tales of hunting would be different.” So that drove me to write the book about the story of how the IT industry changed. Like Dr. Sumant Rao Bhosre used to say, 1000 years of the downward spiral of India was arrested by the IT industry of India. NASSCOM was the sutradhar driving it. So that is what I used as a theme in my book. We have put our … [Read more...] about Policy Talk | Startups need to define their vision as an industry

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline A documentary film crew captured former Vice President Mike Pence’s somewhat opaque reaction (“Excellent,” he says, but with restraint) to seeing a draft Congressional resolution calling for him to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office in the days after the January 6 riot at the Capitol, according to a clip from the documentary CNN aired Thursday. Key Facts In the clip obtained by CNN , an aide hands Pence a cell phone, which apparently displays a draft of the resolution demanding for Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. Pence smiles and says “Excellent,” before asking an aide to print out a copy of the draft. The next clip shows Pence saying “I am always hopeful for the future of America,” as video of crews building security fencing around the Capitol play. It’s not entirely clear from the clip if he’s celebrating the news, or just unusually upbeat during the tense final … [Read more...] about Documentary Catches Pence’s Reaction To Call For Trump’s Removal: ‘Excellent’
