I don't know about other countries but in India it is fairly simple to open one for a company (they are called FCNR accounts). I don't see any government having issues with foreign income making its way to local businesses.

When I walk into the casinos, I know the odds of each game and know there is a possibility of losing my money. However if the casino rigs the machines to reduce my odds, then it isn't a fair game anymore and now goes into the realm of

But as an Indian consumer, I have happy that I have a choice and I believe in the long run the more open Indian market would prove more beneficial to local businesses. Their market caps notwithstanding - Alibaba, Didi Kuaidi and Baidu are n

Whatsapp has never done any advertising in India and had more users in India than Facebook before it was bought by Facebook. Indians don't have a very high trust barrier to overcome - NSA/privacy barely figures in the public disco

A friend of mine was on Free Basics. She found out only when she tried to navigate to a video outside of Facebook from a link that she clicked on Facebook and was prompted to purchase a data plan.

The proposal to regulate VoIP apps is before TRAI only because of lobbying by telcos who are still in denial over the world moving towards data and want to hold onto their voice call revenues. I'm not sure what purpose licensing will s

I don't believe they ever had any intention of getting the poor online. They have so far never released ANY data regarding how many of the users of Free Basics are first time Internet users despite it being one of the top demands of cr

The new regulations by TRAI does not mention anything about regulation of voice apps (or about slow/fast lanes). I think you have misinterpreted the comment by SaveTheInternet.in. What they're saying is that while differential pri

Its a step in the right direction. TRAI was only deciding on differential pricing not slow/fast lanes and currently no ISPs are implementing slow/fast lanes whereas differential pricing (i.e. free plans for Facebook, Whatsapp, the

Maybe our social circles are different :). Snapchat has high resolution pictures & videos, filters, adding captions, adding emoji to pictures, drawing stuff on it. Whatsapp photos and videos functionality is just barely better than MMS.

Instagram is pretty huge in India already. It has about 6M monthly active users and is installed on almost everyone in my age group's (25-35) phones. Snapchat on the other hand, most people won't know about it. However, I bet its

They should just use their containers to advertise the app and offer a small discount (10% or so) and then Doordash/Grubhub becomes a marketing channel for their app. Thats what I'd do.

Serious question - apart from a desktop app and support for emails other than Gmail, is there any difference between Inbox and Mailbox?

Not much for a developer in the Bay Area. The article mentions 6 developers ACROSS 3 continents. If any one of them is Asia, then $40k is a very, very good income. Don't quit your day job... if you live in the Bay Area and want to stil

Looks nice! One suggestion - can you add whether subtitles are available for the courses listed? This info is crucial to people like me who are hard of hearing and also for non-native English speakers.
