Jio conducts trial of connected drones on its 5G Network /  Eco Times  /  07 Dec 2021

Extract :

Reliance Jio has conducted successful trials of connected drones on its indigenous 5G network, the telco’s senior vice president Aayush Bhatnagar said. [ aayush.bhatnagar@jio.com ]

“At Jio, we have taken another major stride in “Making 5G real” - beyond speed tests and demos. Jio has successfully conducted trials of connected drones on its indigenous 5G network,” Bhatnagar said in a Linkedin social media post on Monday.

The trial involved :

#    a precision command and control of drones over 5G using a fleet management system running in the

      Cloud to perform tasks such as image recognition,

 #    track-and-trace, discrete payload pickup, and delivery, 

#    drone route sorties,

#    video imagery,

#    real-time drone control, and other applications,

the executive added.

“5G-connected drones will enable future use cases across industries and enterprises,” Bhatnagar said.

This comes close on the heels of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) kicking off a consultations process for setting up base price across 10 frequency bands for the commercial launch of 5G services.

Jio’s latest demonstration follows a series of trials it has conducted previously, such as Voice and Messaging over 5GNR or VoNR using homegrown 5G RAN and Core, an AI multimedia chatbot, and immersive high-definition virtual reality (HD VR) meeting.

The telco has said it has developed its own homegrown 5G stack which it plans to export abroad once testing its competence on a pan-India scale.

MY  TAKE  :

 

Ø  MA = DA x 4,000,000 ? ………………………………. [  17  July  2018  ]

 

In this blog, I wrote down my thoughts on how RELIANCE RETAIL STRATEGY will evolve for :

#  SALES

#  SUPPLY

#  INVENTORY

#  FINANCE

#  MARKETING

#  DELIVERY

 

 

As far as DELIVERY STRATEGY is concerned, following is what I envisaged :

===================================================

DELIVERY  :

Not only we will deliver the merchandize to your store , but we will also pick up " Ordered Items " ( for ONLINE orders only ) , from your store and deliver the same to your customers  !

Initially we will employ manual " Delivery Persons " for this but , before long , we will deploy a fleet of autonomous DRONES for this purpose 

This fleet will cover " Kirana Stores " and " Online Customers " , located in pre-designated areas , covering 4 sq km ( 2 km x 2 km )

We are in talk with https://what3words.com/toddler.geologist.animated, to enable precise delivery through your 10th floor window  !

These drones will get their " Delivery Instructions " directly from our Web Server , for all ONLINE orders

When these drones arrive at your Store to pick up the items ( to be delivered ) , they will transfer ( Blue Tooth / NFC ) and display on your Computer screen , following data :

#  Online Order Number / time / date

#  Items covered with description / value of each

#  Customer Name / Address 

#  Mode of Online Payment / Bank Details 

 

 

#  Your online account CREDIT details, giving,( Sales Value )-( Purchase Price )  

 

 #   " Purchase Price " of goods in your stock will be based on FIFO method

Monetizing Personal Data, using Web 3.0 ?

 

 

In the Data Protection Bill expected to be introduced in Lok Sabha in next few days, there is no provision for enabling the data-owner ( the User ), to monetize his personal data

This, despite the Bill saying : “ Personal Data is the property of the User. He owns his own data “

But the Bill has no mechanism to allow an User to “ SELL “  his data

For over 3 years, I have been pleading with our Policy Makers to incorporate this feature by implementing :

Only Answer :  a  Statutory  Warning   …………………………………..[ 10  Nov  2018  ]

Digital Dividend from Demographic Data [ 4 D ]…………………….. [ 14 Feb 2019 ]

SARAL ( Single  Authentic  Registration for Anywhere  Login )…[ 10 Feb 2019 ]

 

But, I have not lost hope !

I strongly believe, it is only a matter of 2 years ( at most ), before WEB 3.0 ( centered around BLOCKCHAIN technology ), forces Social Media / e-Commerce portals etc., to pay / compensate the users for collecting / compiling / and selling their personal data.

WEB 3.0 will ensure that the content creators are rewarded, by paying them for using their content for making money

Following article supports my proposition :

What Is Web 3 & Why Is It Called the Internet of the Future ?  /  MEDIUM  /  08 Nov 2021

Extract :

Instead of a free and open web, the internet is now entirely controlled by a few companies. Financial inequality grew as owners of Web 2 platforms — Zuckerberg & friends — became the big winners. In contrast, the rest of us are unpaid participants.

When we post, like, share, and comment, we either don’t make any money or get a tiny fraction of the value we add. Yet, we — the users — are the pumping heart of these platforms. Without us, they’re nothing.

In Web 2, we have no control over our data, where it’s stored, and with whom it’s shared.

Platform owners collect and sell our data to various companies, sometimes without even our consent. And what do we get from this sweet deal ? Nothing tangible except custom ads and recommendations.

 

In Web 3, users and builders alike can earn money and make a good living.

 

This is possible because dapps and other Web 3 services are powered by cryptocurrency tokens.

 

Every time you use, improve, and interact, you earn tokens. The more you participate, the more tokens you accumulate. The tokens you earn will appreciate. You can either hold onto your earnings or exchange them against fiat currencies.

 

Because Web 3 is built on the principle of shared ownership, everyone has “skin in the game”. When a Web 3 platform grows and succeeds, all win, not just a select few. In Web 3, you are a user, a creator, but most importantly, an owner.

In Web 3, you own your data. You can even get paid to lease it. This level of control is possible due to digital private keys. Your data are the equivalent of a digital safe deposit. Only you have the keys to open the safe.

Do you want custom ads and news feeds? Easy.

Sell some of your data to advertisers, so they know a bit more about you. Select who can access your data and who can’t.

Select the bits you want to share and the bits you want to keep secret. You are in total control.

 

We know how difficult it is for talented people to monetise their passions. Scientists lack funding. Artists don’t sell. Web 3 will change that. People would monetise their passions, whatever that passion is.

 

Thanks to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), painters, poets, scientists, and musicians can sell digital rights to their creations or share ownership with a dedicated community.

 

But for a Web 3 future to happen, leaders and builders seeking a just and equal society must take the first steps.

 

I’m talking programmers, entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, and politicians. Only then will the masses follow.

 

Web 3 promotes democracy at all levels of society. In Web 3, we cease to be exploited; everybody wins. 

 

 

Dear Shri Ashwini Vaishnawji  /  Shri Rajiv Chandrasekharji ,

 

I urge you to modify / alter proposed DATA PROTECTION BILL, to incorporate clause for “ Compensating “ the Data-Owners, as per Data Custody Portal , suggested in my earlier e-mails

In much the same way that Aadhar / CoWin / JanDhan / RuPay / JAM / Ayushman Peronal Health History Cards etc., are being adopted by many countries of the World, you have an opportunity to lead the World, by jumping from WEB 2.0 to WEB 3.0 ( launching of www.IndiaDataCustodian.gov.in , as explained in my emails )

MeitY proposes national blockchain strategy for adoption across sectors  /  BS  / 04 Dec 2021

Extract :

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology on Friday released a “ National strategy on blockchain ”

MeitY has suggested setting up a National Blockchain Framework (NBF) with three types of participants-

#  confident user of technology ( application developers ),

#  provider or operator of technology ( infrastructure and services, Blockchain as a service ), and

#  complete technology stack builder ( IP creator ).

The sectors, where blockchain models have applications, have been identified as education, governance, finance & banking, healthcare, logistics, cyber security, media, legal, power sector, etc.

The National Strategy to evolve a trusted digital platform for providing e-Governance services using Blockchain lays out overall vision and the development and implementation strategies for a National Blockchain Platform covering the technology stack, legal and regulatory framework, standards development, collaboration, human resource development and potential use cases.

eSign is a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) based on-line service. This service helps the citizens for instant signing of their documents, enabling non-repudiation and in a legally acceptable form. eSign service is being leveraged in various applications by government and private agencies are leveraging eSign service.

ePramaan is a standards based e-Authentication framework. It facilitates authentication and security of citizens while accessing different government applications.

DigiLocker is an online service delivered under Digital India Initiative by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. It provides every citizen with an account in cloud to access documents / certificates such as vehicle registration, academic certificates & mark sheets, driving license and so on

Potential Blockchain applications of National interest include :

Identity management

eVoting 

Electronic Health Record Management

How MapmyIdia is charting the metaverse territory  /  Business Line  /  30 Nov 2021

Extract :

With over 2,000 customers across map-as-a-service, software-as-a-service (SaaS), IoT solutions and application programming interface (API), the IPO-bound tech company MapmyIndia is looking to create mapping solutions that will be high definition, 4-dimensional and built for the metaverse, showing a realistic view of the entire world with granular data points to help both the public and private sector use cases.

We are looking at creating a realistic view of the real world or a real metaverse in a high-definition 4D digital model. There will be use cases across consumers, enterprises, government, gaming, developers and automotive,” Rohan Verma, CEO and Executive Director, MapmyIndia { rohan@mapmyindia.com }

“Secondly, this is more relevant even now, our digital address system called eLoc.

Through this, any location or address in India can be represented in six characters.

It will be as helpful for delivery executives looking for a specific location as for a government which wants to know whether a particular location has got a gas connection in every household,” he said.

MapmyIndia has over 80 per cent market share in the mapping solutions category for the automotive sector in India. Beyond that, it has been working with various consumer-focused apps and the government for population-scale platforms and geospatial transformation projects.

These highly accurate 3D data – a step towards Metaverse – will mean an essential part of Digital India economy system . Now data of this kind would be available for license to a host of users “

 

MY  TAKE :

 

Dear Shri Rohan Vermaji / Shri Sajid Malikji,

 

No doubt private sector users will come forward and ask you :

“ Can your innovative Geo-Spatial Technology, help to solve XYZ problem ? “

But, it is highly unlikely that any Government department / Transport Ministry, will approach you and ask :

“ Can your Technology :

#   Help rapid change-over to Non-polluting Electric Vehicles ?

#   Help India achieve Net Zero carbon position by 2030 ?

#   Motivate people to give up private / personal vehicles and start using Public

     Tansport ?

#   Bring in Rs 1.3 lakh*crore worth TRANS-TAX based on HARM QUOTIENT of

     each vehicle ? “

 

On the other hand, I urge you to examine my following suggestion and – if convinced that your technology can, emphatically answer “ YES “, to questions listed above, then send in your proposal to Shri Nitin Gadkariji :
