OPTICAL FIBRE NETWORK WITH SOUTH ASIAN STATES
Kathmandu, 16 May: The Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) plans to select an international consultant by October to establish an optical fibre link with India, Bangladesh and Bhutan. The proposed fibre link has been seen as the best way to avoid dependency on satellite connections and reduce charges for voice and data
Services, The Kathmandu Post reports.
The government is building the fibre link as part of the South Asian Sub-Regional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Information Highway Project supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Other major components of the project include establishing 30 community e-centres and a research and training centre for development of ICT in the country. The ADB has provided US$ 9 million for the information highway project.
So far, 20 international firms have bought bid documents for the information highway project, according to the MoIC. “We are aiming at awarding the contract by October,” said Shailaja Regmi, project manager of the information highway. She added that it would take around three to five months for the bids to be evaluated. The last date for submitting bids is May 31.
After the optical fibre link is installed, it will provide an alternate backbone route in Nepal for establishing cross-border connectivity through Cable Landing Station (CLS) at Rani, Biratnagar by connecting to the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited’s (BSNL) network in Jogbani, India and another CLS at Birgunj connected to Raxaul, India.
Recently, Nepal Telecom, on behalf of the government, signed a contract with BSNL, Bangladesh Telecom Company Limited of Bangladesh and Bhutan Telecom of Bhutan for bilateral interconnection. The MoIC will implement the project and hand it over to Nepal Telecom for operation and maintenance as per the cabinet’s decision made last year.
Out of the total bandwidth capacity of 10 Gbps, Nepal Telecom will be allowed to use 70 percent for commercial purposes or lease it to other service providers while the MoIC will provide the rest to internet service providers or telecom operators recommended by the government. “Commercial use of the fibre link is expected to start from early 2014,” said technical expert Surendra Lal Hada of the MoIC.
The project is expected to bring down the cost of interconnection charges between Nepal, India, Bangladesh and Bhutan and provide better data and voice service at a lower price. After the completion of the project, traffic to and from third countries can be handled through India’s undersea optical fibre cable connection linking Singapore in the
future.

LANDSLIPS TRIGGERED SETO FLASH FLOODS
Kathmandu, 16 May;After 11 days of speculating about the cause of the Seti flash flood, a team including geologists has concluded that the tragedy was triggered by landslips, Lal Prasad Sharma writes in The Kathmandu Post from Pokhara,.
The nine-member team of geologists and representatives of Trekking Agents Association of Nepal, Nepal Police, Nepal Army and local people has returned after studying the landslide site since May 9.
The team has stated that a mass of soil and other particles deposited by old glaciers near the big glacier of Mt Annapurna IV pushed a hillock ranging in altitude from 4,200 meters to 4,500 meters, triggering a number of landslides.
“It seems that a small avalanche opened a series of landslips, triggering the tragedy,” said a geology department faculty at Prithivi Narayan Campus, Pokhara.
The team reasoned that the hillock fell as it could not withstand the pressure of snowfall and rain-soaked terrain. “Parts of the hillock still remain there, but it is not sure whether they will slip further,” said team coordinator Krishna KC.

Everyone who is into style depends on a great stylist to look good
and help with hair issues and problems. Before you go for them, try products at Keranique for hair care.
The product should be one that is made for your type of hair, whether it be
dry, oily, curly or straight.

There are a few types, mainly fine, regular, or rough.
Just focus on one herb at a time that suits your
present needs. Though addressing these underlying causes is very important in order to
prevent hair fall, coconut oil can also help to an extent.
This is why many salon stylists always recommend a hot oil treatment for hair.
The herbal solution is said to be a natural one, but, this does not necessarily indicate that it is more effective than
other available procedures.

The city of Danbury's metro options into NYC, give anyone in New Milford, Newtown, Bethel, New Fairfield and Sherman options for travelling south. concrete finishing is very much like smoothing out frosting on a birthday cake. And when we would cut for the plumbing work, I had to patch around that and make it solid.

Today there is still plenty of activity in all the area
mines. Some mining firms lost 30 per cent of their share values in the early August stock market meltdown.
A large number of workers, particularly in the professional occupations, will become eligible for retirement in the coming years, and
some companies may have trouble coping with the loss of many experienced workers to retirement at a time when the industry is expanding
production on dryer machine and ball mill machines.
Djelloul: The Mafia has been portrayed in many ways in books and movies, and I don't have a quarrel with these portrayals, because the Mafia is a work of many facets. The advert designs can range from being simple text affairs that are very basic, which also tend to be less expensive, to the more expensive, fully graphic designed adverts with photo quality images that can take up a whole page of the newspaper. As a whole the paper has some major drawbacks, there are no pictures, essentially no world news and the front page contained a spelling error. However, the English newspapers are much central to urban areas. The contempt he held for America had little to do with politics and democracy.
