Seconds Based Billing

The technology for this new billing system is being provided by US based PrePaid mobile provider Telcordia and it seems like most Indian Telecom operators are going to opt for this. Based on this the subscribers would get discounted tariff and the operators would get better utilization of their network resources because normally their networks are not used. Currently all the calls are charged at flat billing rates on minutes or seconds basis and not on the location basis, which means that the customers would happily opt for this, once its activated.

WinSCP FTP

Now there are numerous File Transfer Protocol Programs available Online like FileZilla, CuteFtp, FireFtp etc most of which also offer free software, but as per few reports these are not totally secure. In many cases consumers have fought with their Web Hosts when they find that their web hosting accounts are Hacked, but there are many reasons why your hosting account can get hacked and one of the major reason is using a Free Unsecured FTP Program. Iam not referring to just the Free Programs but also towards the paid FTP softwares which dont encrypt the passwords you enter into them. Most hackers would gain access to your FTP softwares and try to get access to your website’s hosting section.

I have used Globoscape CuteFTP Program from years, but it was just a few days i came to know that this paid application also saves your Stored sessions and login passwords in simple text files which are very vulnerable and can be easily attacked. The moment i came through this information i went ahead and started finding out if its true and not only CuteFTP but multiple softwares were so easy to get hacked that the next step was either to use the Hosting Cpanel or else a Secured FTP Program. This is when a friend recommended me WinSCP – which is a free & secured FTP software which works similar to all other softwares like allows Drag & Drop Feature, Bulk Upload & Download, Save Login ID & Password etc and the most important feature is that its going to encrypt the logins you save to make sure its not going to get shared with just anyone.

How does WinSCP work?
WinSCP is a Freeware based on the Open Source Script – FileZilla, which is also a free software. It transfers data using SSH (Secure Shell) with the main job being transferring files between a local computer and a remote computer along with multiple functions. Support for SSH password, keyboard-interactive, public key and Kerberos (GSS) authentication.

• Assess your life insurance requirements.
• Research on various types of life insurance plans, additional benefits, or riders. Also ensure that you compare similar plans across the various insurance companies.
• Understand the extent of Life Insurance cover, the exclusions for the insurance plan, AND the riders that you select.
• Fill the insurance proposal form yourself.
• DO NOT provide your agent with a signed, blank form.
• Be truthful when filling the form as you or your nominee could lose the benefits from the policy in case you misrepresent facts.
• Do not misrepresent any facts – be it regarding your age, health, family history, etc. Never alter medical facts as it can make the entire policy null and void. Your Insurance agent might advise you to misrepresent medical facts to help reduce your premium cost. This is not a smart thing to do – in the event of a claim, more often than not, the misrepresented facts will come up and go against your family.
• Let us look at an example that can very easily happen to any one of us: Suppose you conceal the fact that you are a diabetic when you fill your insurance form. After a while, you undergo heart surgery and choose to make a claim under your critical illness rider. The first thing the insurance company will do is ask for your medical records from your doctor/surgeon – only to find out that you had diabetes AT the time of purchasing the insurance policy. The company will refuse to make any payments towards your claim even if the two diseases are unrelated. This is for a critical illness rider where the cost of the rider does not even exceed 30 per cent of the total premium cost. Now, imagine in case of your death – your premium payments become a total waste. More importantly, your family will not receive any proceeds from the policy.
