DISQUALIFIED MAOISTS CLOSE DOWN EAST FOR SECOND DAY
Kathmandu, 5 March: Disqualified Maoist fighters disrupted normal life in the
East for the second day of an indefinite strike pressing four demands demanding, reinstatement, financial aid and other benefits.
The fighters were disqualified by UNMIN which has withdrawn before completing assigned responsibilities.
The combatants were sent out of 28camps because they were child soldiers or
joined PLA after a deadline for qualification as fighters.
The strike didn’t affect the West like as on Sunday.

SUBSCRIBERS HIT AS SMALL OPERATORS LACK CONNECTIVITY
Kathmandu, 5 March: Smart Telecom (Smart Cell) and Nepal Satellite Telecom (Hello Nepal) have been around for more than two years, but their subscribers cannot call each other. Similarly, subscribers of STM Telecom (Gramintel) and Nepal Satellite cannot make calls to each other. The reason is lack of interconnectivity between these small telecom operators, Ramesh Shrestha writes in The Kathmandu Post.
There is no interconnectivity due to two factors—indifference of the regulator and negligence of the telecom operators. Till now, Smart Telecom, Nepal Satellite and STM Telecom have not established interconnectivity to make and receive calls from each other.
Interconnection in telecommunications is a physical connection between two operators that allows a user from one network to make or receive a call from another operator’s network. The delay in forging an interconnection agreement between these three operators is hurting the rights of over 0.35 million telecom service users. The subscribers of these three phone companies, however, can make and receive calls from the big operators—Nepal Telecom, Ncell and United Telecom. All the operators have to interconnect with each other according to the Interconnection Guideline implemented in 2008.
Small operators admit that lack of interconnection between them is a “serious matter” in the telecom sector. However, they point at each other for the failure to establish interconnectivity for free flow of calls. They also said that the regulator Nepal Telecommunications Authority’s (NTA) regulations regarding interconnectivity were confusing. “Many subscribers are complaining that they cannot make a call to the network of another operator,” said Smart Telecom CEO Subash Bajracharya. He added that it was a bitter fact that they had not been able to make an interconnection agreement even after two years of operation. The company started service in 2010. Following rigorous homework, Smart Telecom and STM have started interconnection service as a trial.
Smart Telecom had 0.21 million subscribers as of mid-January this year as per the statistics of the NTA. Similarly, Nepal Satellite and STM Telecom have 0.13 million and 5,332 users respectively. “We have made many attempts for interconnection with Nepal Satellite,” said Bajracharya. “But they haves not been fruitful so far.”
However, Nepal Satellite said that it was hard to establish interconnection with other small operators for lack of a clear provision from the government in the Interconnection Guideline. “The government has not clearly defined which is the interconnection seeker and which is the provider,” said Mani Chaulagain, CEO of Nepal Satellite. He added that operators were unable to establish an interconnect network as they preferred to be the provider and collect the fee from another company seeking interconnectivity.
Nepal Satellite also said that it was ready to provide interconnection service to any operator approaching it. However, STM and Smart Telecom said that there should be a provision under which both the operators needing interconnection service should invest in the infrastructure mutually. “Two companies needing interconnection have to make equal investments to remove this type of problem,” said STM Telecom CEO Sunil Jakibanja. He added that STM was in dialogue with Nepal Satellite for establishing interconnectivity.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her
ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

One more thing. I think that there are lots of travel insurance web-sites of dependable companies than enable
you to enter your vacation details and have you the insurance quotes.
You can also purchase the actual international
travel cover policy on the internet by using your own credit card.
All you should do should be to enter all travel information and you can be aware of the plans side-by-side.
Merely find the system that suits your budget and
needs then use your credit card to buy it. Travel insurance online is a good way to
search for a respectable company pertaining to
international holiday insurance. Thanks for discussing you

I have learned some new items from your website about computers.
Another thing I have always thought is that computer systems have
become a product that each household must have for many reasons.
They supply you with convenient ways to organize households, pay bills,
shop, study, pay attention to music and also watch
tv series. An innovative technique to complete all of these tasks is with
a mobile computer. These pc's are portable ones, small, strong and transportable.

Thanks for the something totally new you have exposed in your text.
One thing I would really like to comment on is that FSBO interactions are built after some time.
By releasing yourself to owners the first saturday their FSBO is
definitely announced, prior to a masses commence calling on Monday, you ge good link.
By sending them resources, educational supplies, free reviews, and forms,
you become the ally. By subtracting a personal fascination with them along with their
predicament, you generate a solid link that,
most of the time, pays off if the owners decide to go with a real estate agent they know in addition
to trust preferably you.

Thanks for your content. One other thing is that if you are disposing your property alone, one of the concerns you need to be alert to upfront is just how to deal with house inspection reviews.
As a FSBO seller, the key concerning successfully transferring your property plus saving money about real estate agent commission rates is
know-how. The more you are aware of, the better
your home sales effort is going to be. One area when this is particularly significant is information about home inspections.

Thanks a lot for the helpful post. It is also my belief
that mesothelioma cancer has an extremely long latency period,
which means that indication of the disease may not
emerge right until 30 to 50 years after the 1st exposure to mesothelioma.
Pleural mesothelioma, that is the most common sort and
has an effect on the area across the lungs, may cause shortness of breath, torso
pains, plus a persistent cough, which may result in coughing up bloodstream.
