Billboards go off Indian highways

on September 19, 2005 by Martina Comments

The Indian government has banned all advertising along national highways. The Business Standard reports the move is likely to hit the outdoor advertising industry as well as the income of road operators. The decision has been taken since large billboards often distracted drivers, provoking car accidents. The highway operators, however, will still be able to place ads in toll plazas, rest areas, bus shelters and telephone booths if the roads and highways department finds them non-distracting.

Master new sensations (aka Kamasutra on your mobile)

on February 2, 2005 by Martina Comments

Indian newspapers have dedicated a lot of space to a news coming from Russia where the biggest carrier, Mobile Tele Systems has started offering Kamasutra tips to its subscribers. Russian mobile phone users can listen to the ancient Indian art of love through a 24-hour service which costs about five times more than a regular call, India Daily reports. Another Indian newspaper The Times of India has further investigated the issue, asking a few Indians what they thought about the service. Curiosity and concern for content that might violate the sentiments of Indian people are the main feelings which came out from the interviews. Anyway, with 3G and MMS, the erotic tips, delivered through a voice service, appear to be quite out of date.
