Guess the PR agency for Thaksin

Posted in Media & PR, Thailand by themediaslut on the January 29th, 2007

A Thai inside source have heard rumours that ex-prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has hired Edelman to do PR for him.

A hidden IHT article on the 19th of Jan confirmed the appointment.

From IHT :

"We’re working with him in his capacity as a private citizen and supporting some media outreach to support his efforts to return to Thailand," said Alan VanderMolen, vice president for the Asia-Pacific area for Edelman, in a telephone interview from Hong Kong.

themediaslut also wants somebody in the PR industry to represent her. Any takers?

Edelman PRs, if you are reading this post, could you mind if you ask Thaksin if he has anything to  do with this Thaksin Beef Noodle stall themediaslut found in Singapore?

“3G is not broadband!”

Posted in Tech, Telcos by themediaslut on the January 21st, 2007

What happens when a Stanford professor. in a conference, says 3G is not broadband?

You get very angry mobile phone vendors!

From Hindustan Times :

Seminars are usually staid affairs, but a recent one on WiMax organised by Assocham was far from being so.

Nokia’s representative Prashant Agnihotri got into a furious argument with telecom expert P. Paulraj, professor at Stanford, who worked closely with Sam Pitroda.

What was it all about?

Paulraj declared that 3G technology did not qualify as “broadband” at all! Nokia, whose major marketing strategy projects 3G as the future of broadband, could not possibly take that lying down. But DoT representatives supported Nokia!

No wonder Singaporeans are not picking up 3G . They are smart enough to see through all the marketing hype from the phone vendors!
