After ROCK ON, expectations from Farhan Akthar are much bigger and a lot depends on his sister Zoya Akhtar's directorial venture. The story of LBC revolves around two prime protagonists – Vikram Jaisingh played by Farahan Akhtar and Sona Mishra played by Konkana Sen Sharma. Both are aspiring actors struggling to make their mark in the Tinseltown. They fall in love with each other and how their aspirations effect their relationships is all what LBC is all about. The other attraction behind these two great actors is the special appearance by Hritik Roshan, who is playing the superstar Zafar Khan (could have been adapted from SRK).

Apart from this Rishi Kapoor is playing the character of Romy Rolly, a leading producer from the industry while Juhi Chawla is playing his wife.

Tata to go GSM by the end of 2009

Leading CDMA tele service provider of India, Tata teleservices is planning for a pan India launch of its GSM services by the end of this year. According to company's managing director Anil Saradana, the company has already geared up for the launch and is hoping to bring it to life late in 2009.


Reliance Communications have already stepped into the GSM sectors and they are providing this service in 1100 towns across India. The coverage area for RCom is set to increase further. It is worth mentioning that Department of Telecom had made a decision last year to allow the companies with unified access services to have permits for the mixed technologies. Last year, the regional CDMA services provider Shyam Telecom and HFCL, had also applied for permission to have GSM status. This shift in the market is largely because of high profit margins in the GSM market for the service providers. The CDMA service providers are also looking forward to capture those users who change there operators every month, by stepping into the GSM Market. The average revenues per minute per user, earned by the GSM providers like Vodafone and Airtel are much higher than the CDMA providers. This can be the other reason for such diversion in the telecom market.
