Nokia is planning to launch green phone models in INDIA

Nokia is planning to launch around 40 new green phone models this year — each comprising biodegradable components that can be easily recycled.

Mobile phones are not biodegradable. They contain small amounts of potentially harmful substances such as cadmium, lithium, among others, in their batteries which, if not managed properly, can damage the environment.
Nokia will be using biodegradable phone covers, recyclable battery designs that use less harmful toxic materials and energy efficient accessories for all our forthcoming phones. Already, they have eliminated the use of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) in all our phones.
Nokia uses biomaterials, such as polylactic acid (PLA) plastics with plant or other biomass-based modifiers that help reduce the use of non-renewable materials. An additional bonus is that the energy required to produce PLA — from raw material to plastic pellet — is minimal..

Nokia is also investing in green bins across all its priority dealer centres, where customers can drop their old phones, and plans to extend this service across all Nokia centres. It had earlier launched its first eco-friendly phone, the 3110, which is claimed to be more around 65 per cent recyclable. "The green phones, which will launch this year, will be introduced across all price ranges,"

The company is also aiming to reduce amount of energy consumed by mobile chargers. "We are also hopeful of reducing the no load power consumption — the power wasted when a charger is left in a live power socket — by a further 50 per cent by 2010."

Nokia will also be focusing on training and awareness programmes designed to ensure that those working in care centres operated on behalf of Nokia take-back programme can advise consumers on recycling issues.

Microsoft announced Open Value Licensing

Microsoft announced the staggered payment option for software purchases in India through its Open Value Licensing (OVL) program.

The program, designed especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), will enable SMBs to spread their payments for software solutions over a 3-year period rather than make an upfront payment. It would also simplify software license management and allow automatic access to upgrades of latest products and ease of use, affordability and productivity along with allowing flexible payment options

Open Value not only offers an easy payment option to help the SMB community overcome 'pricing pressures', but also protects the customer from product price fluctuations during the license period.

During the 3-year period, OVL also provides Software Assurance, a feature that allows access to valuable benefits such as training, IT planning, software upgrades and product support.

Open Value is designed for organizations with 5 or more PCs and allows companies to enter into a single licensing agreement for as many desktops or servers as they consider necessary. Customers can pay in 3 annual instalments, and also choose to increase the number of licenses purchased at any given point in time, thus allowing them to accommodate business fluctuations without the burden of over-investing in IT.
"Open Value consolidates the inherent advantages that Microsoft solutions offer to the customer i.e., ease of use, affordability and productivity along with allowing flexible payment options, and the added value that Software Assurance delivers," said Rajnikant Das of E-Soft Solutions, a Microsoft Gold Certified partner.
