Let me confess, I never wanted to be a BlackBerry user and ever since I was forced to use my first RIM device, I have always been carrying one, it’s been a few years now. I’m not that forgetful in general but I do forget my BlackBerry at places at times, and am usually not sure where I left it. Was that in my car or at home? Did I drop it somewhere or is it safe or not? Calling a lost phone to ring it, itself is an invitation to a thief if you left it at a public place. Does this happen to you too?
Can you spot what is not right about this advertisement from PTCL?
PTCL is providing devices (router and usb) for WiFi access in the home but they make it sound as if it is a “service”. Check out the official statement below. My take is that they should just make the router+usb free (at least not charge Rs. 200 per month for an indefinite period) and stop calling it a “service”.

In the process of making its image better PTCL’s “ek tar faiday beshumar” is by far the most vibrant commercial coming from them. Hear it on radio or watch it on TV, its the best at both. Take a look at it yourself.
PTCL – feel the difference
I beleive such advertisements backed by service quality will definilty make the difference felt, create value for the customers and capture the value in return.
Nokia has made a huge move in the mobile mapping and navigation area: it now offers free global navigation (for drivers and pedestrians) on Nokia smartphones. These free-of-charge navigation services are intended to boost Nokia’s service offerings and sell more phones. This is the same direction which Google was moving in with its free navigation software.
