YouTube to Ditch 30-Second Unskippable Ad Format in 2018
YouTube to Ditch 30-Second Unskippable Ad Format in 2018
Google has announced that it is planning to ditch the 30-second unskippable advertisement format on YouTube, which show up right before a video starts, from next year onwards. The company is reportedly looking at other formats to present ads that can work well for both advertisers and the viewers.
The search giant has decided to kill the 30-second unskippable ads in order to provide a better advertising experience to the online users, Google said in a statement to Campaign. "As part of that, we've decided to stop supporting 30-second unskippable ads as of 2018 and focus instead on formats that work well for both users and advertisers," Google spokesperson was quoted as saying in the Campaign report.
It is important to note that this statement doesn't mean that the company will move away from the unskippable ads format altogether.
Advertisements that are shorter than 30 seconds, including 20-second spots can be made unskippable, Campaign points out in its report. Users can expect
more six-second "bumper" ads, introduced last year in April, from the company going forward considering that it is moving away from the longer advertisement format.
It seems like YouTube has realised that the unskippable advertisements with long duration can often cause frustration among users and result in bad experience online. As it is a consumer-centric approach, it is definitely a welcome move. However, advertisers are unlikely to be pleased by the company's latest strategy. Considering that Facebook has recently focused heavily on videos and platforms like Snapchat are becoming hugely popular, YouTube might need to be on its toes to remain the preferred video-platform among users going ahead.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 Specifications, Image Leaked
Xiaomi Today reports that the Tenaa listing provide a glimpse at the Redmi 5 smartphone design and key specifications. The device is seen sporting a metal build with rounded edges, and a fingerprint sensor at the back. The camera is placed on the top edge with the flash sitting beside it, while the Xiaomi Redmi 4 had the camera placed top centre. Capacitive navigation buttons sit below the display in the front, while volume and power buttons sit on the right edge
as for the specifications, the Redmi 5 is tipped to feature a 5-inch display, and pack a 4000mAh battery. It is expected to support dual-SIM functionality, and the dimensions allegedly measure at 141.3x69.6x8.9mm. Apart from this, nothing else has been revealed about the device as of yet.
A few speculate that this could just be the Redmi 4X smartphone, as Xiaomi is known for releasing many variants of a device before unleashing the successor. The Redmi 4X will sit comfortably next to the recently released Redmi Note 4X in the Xiaomi portfolio. However, this is all just speculation and the upgraded design seen in the Tenaa listin means this could well be the Redmi 5 smartphone.
While other tech giants like Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola are gearing up for the MWC 2017, Xiaomi has decided to skip it entirely. This could be because of the delay in launch of the Xiaomi Mi 6 smartphone. Samsung Galaxy S8, which is also tipped to sport the latest Snapdragon 835 chipset, is set to be the first device to launch with the SoC. This means that other manufacturers have to either compromise with an older SoC or delay the launch of their devices.

Reliance Jio May Soon Give Users Mobile Numbers Starting With '6'
Reliance Jio
The latest entrant in the telecom industry, Reliance Jio has reportedly received permission to assign new users mobile numbers starting with the numeral '6'. The Department of Telecom (DoT) has given its nod towards operators issuing 6-series MSC (mobile switching code) codes for phone numbers, with Reliance Jio being the only one given this permission so far. However, Reliance Jio will give users mobile numbers starting with '6' in some circles at present, not all.
Telecom Talk reports that the DoT has issued 6-series MSC codes in Assam, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu. Reliance Jio reportedly got 60010-60019 MSC codes in Rajasthan, 60020-60029 MSC codes in Assam and 60030-60039 in Tamil Nadu. In Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, it received 7-series MSC codes, and in Kolkata and Maharashtra, it received 8-series MSC codes.
This means that Reliance Jio will effectively be able to offer new mobile numbers starting with '6' moving forward in the above mentioned states. The report states that this is done to meet the demand of more one million new subscribers. "In consideration to the request of service providers, the undersigned is directed to convey approval of competent authority Sr DDG (AS) for allotment of MSC Codes," the department said.
In the Indian telecom industry, operators have so far been allotted mobile numbers in 9, 8, and 7 series. Reliance Jio's entry, along with its free data and voice offers, gave birth to a large number of subscribers increasing demand by many folds. Mobile numbers that start with 9, 8, and 7 series are reportedly set to be exhausted soon. According to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's recent data, Indian subscriber base grew by 21.02 million to cross 1.12 billion in November 2016. Most of the credit for this goes to Reliance Jio.
Reliance Jio reached 72.4 million subscribers as of December 31 since its commencement of operations on September 5. To recall, Reliance Jio had crossed the 50-million subscriber milestone in just 83 days since launch back - adding an average of 600,000 subscribers a day.Thursday, February 9, 2017
RBI, finally announces limit on cash withdrawal limit removed completely
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday has announced to remove the limit on cash withdrawal from savings bank accounts. This step of RBI has brought a major relief to the citizens of India. Notably, cash withdrawal limit will be removed in two stages. In the first stage, the weekly withdrawal limit will be increased to Rs 50,000 from the current Rs 24,000 from 20 February and then completely removed from 13 March.
RBI Governor said that it will establish a separate Enforcement Department to ensure compliance with the people’s safety in order to curb corruption. RBI governor talking on the GDP said that the expected growth is 6.9 percent for 2016-17 fiscal year ending in the month of March and expected growth for 2017-18 fiscal year will be around 7.4 percent.
Importantly, RBI maintained its key policy rate unchanged at 6.25 per cent. The reverse repo rate stood at 5.75 percent. Interestingly, this was against the consensus estimate of a 25 basis points cut given the easing inflation and rising concerns over a slowing economy. In the previous monetary policy also RBI kept the repo rate and reverse repo rate unchanged.
RBI sees the inflation number at 4 to 4.5 percent during the period of April-September. The MPC is of the view that the persistence of inflation excluding food and fuel prices could set a floor on further downward movements in headline inflation and trigger second order effects. Nevertheless, headline CPI inflation in quarter 4 of 2016-17 is likely to be below 5 percent.
GVA growth for 2016-17 is projected at 6.9 percent with risks evenly balanced around it. RBI believes growth is expected to recover sharply in 2017-18 on account of expected bounce back in demand after demonetization. The emphasis in the Union Budget for 2017-18 on stepping up capital expenditure, and boosting the rural economy and affordable housing should contribute to growth. Accordingly, GVA growth for 2017-18 is projected at 7.4 percent.
RBI said the current account deficit (CAD) is likely to remain muted and below 1 per cent of GDP in 2016-17. There will be no limit on cash withdrawal from March 13. RBI will also raise the withdrawal cap to Rs 50,000 a week from Rs 24,000 a week for savings accounts with effect from February 20.
