If you’re fed up with your current Mobile Phone’s battery, don’t fret, the future of Battery technology, just got brighter, with Nanotechnology promising upto 10 times more battery life. Which means if your battery previously lasted for 6days, it will now last for 60days. Charging your mobile phone only six times a year – imagine that!

Over at Stanford University researchers have found a revolutionary concept, that could forever change this world. They have found a way to use Silicon nanowires in rechargeable Li-ion batteries that power the current generation of batteries in Laptops, Mobile Phones, Camera’s, iPods etc, thus enhancing the storage capacity to upto 10times the existing levels.

“It’s not a small improvement. It’s a revolutionary development”, said Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, who leads the research for the new battery technology.

Finally the Indian Government has decided to auction the 3G Spectrum.  The Government has decided to allow Indian as well as foreign players to take part in the bidding. The Spectrum that is being auctioned belongs to the 2100MHz band which should make it compatible with most 3G networks world over.

I believe the spectrum that is going to be auctioned should be able to hold atleast 5 Carriers. I would expect Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance to pick up spectrum. I am not sure about the foreign players, but I believe that AT&T should be able to pick up spectrum as well.

Here are some of the rules that the Government has laid for the Auction :

• Winners will be required to pay 0.5 percent of total adjusted gross revenue to the state on an annual basis for the first three years of operation, rising to 1 percent thereafter.
• Winners will not be allowed to trade or resell the spectrum and they will not be allowed to merge in the first five years after the grant.
• About 30MHz of spectrum will be sold in total.
• India will also auction licenses for broadband wireless (WiMAX) services, with the reserve price fixed at 25 percent of the amount for 3G spectrum.
