RE: [MTC Global] What is IIN?

Khan Academy has done it , so it can be done by others too. I am sure within few years, we shall have internet connection even in remote schools of the country.

@ Padma:

it is the internet-yes and another one of those things that pop up ever so often and  nd die down after the buzz.But if we as academicians here can think on how we can contribute it is possible to help that kid make whatever.

Look  at so many people-they have a great talent that has to  be kept under wraps.forgotten or remembered enough to cause a feeling of dejection.I have aCEO friend who headed one of the top tech companies-very good at teaching maths!Now goes out and teaches MAths to a bunch of kids in Corporation schools-always says if we can use tech I can do this everyday.For me a perfect win-win f or all

It isnt the idea that is bad. Its the representation.

 

it has people who dont know believing its some kind of a new institution. 

 

in reality it is a internet network... just like any other

 

would have been better if it had been followed up with an actual education network and a APP which would provide access to it. the app could have been made accessible to those with idea internet connectivity.

Those who troll I think missed the other half of the message.And I see this kind of garbage vomiting all the time-they are neither capable of ideation/ideating ,creativity but know how to troll and how to criticise and show their ignore under a 1000 watt bulb. They don't understand or empathise with the plight of kids in the villages ( not that they can but...)I am not involved in this but I would like to defend the idea.

The clams as in all Indian advertisement might be the sky but I think  it has value if,as I wrote, to tap into the huge reserve of  highly educated women-doctors and IITs and IT professionals sitting at home looking after babies and home and hearth.what a loss to this country-young talented women forced to give up lucrative jobs ( whatever the reason) and education.

The big challenge is going to be to execute this program

For once I am praying something happens:-))

IIN..means IDEA INTERNET NETWORK

 

the IIN advertisement ...focuses on using internet for learning...but IIN is not a place to study. 

 

Its like RIN (reliance internet network)  or BIN(BSNL internet network)

Idea Cellular started the year with a clear objective of increasing Mobile Internet penetration across the country and increase relevance for mobile internet, making it a way of life for people. Idea launched its latest campaign – "IIN, the greatest place to learn".  

Watch the TVCs here:




According to the company, the new ads are a reinforcement of Idea's focus on the growth of mobile internet services and follows close on the heels of its award winning campaign – 'No Ullu Banaoing' – which won the ET Telecom Awards 2014 in the 'Marketing Campaign of the year' category, and may such accolades last year.

However, this time around, the brand has not received the kind of response it expected out of the ambitious campaign. Social media is abuzz with parodies and mocking trolls about the latest string of ads launched by the mobile operator.

Here are a few excerpts:



Idea's take

In a press statement issued at the time of the campaign's launch, Sashi Shankar, Chief Marketing Officer, Idea Cellular, said, "According to "While the 'No Ullu Banaoing' campaign focused on educating users on using the mobile internet, with IIN (Idea Internet Network), Idea aims to 'empower' the users, especially the youth, of using internet to their advantage. The campaign drives home the point that no matter how difficult or trying the situations get, the youth of today can sail through them with the help of technology - courtesy the Idea Internet Network."

According to him, like all Idea ads, this one again picks up a societal problem and offers a simple but effective solution using the power of mobile telephony.   Education is the foremost important prerequisite for shaping tomorrow's India. Limitations such as capacity in colleges, hyper competition, lack of funds etc. are creating undue pressure on the youth preventing them from attaining their ultimate ambition in life.

However, what the brand has to say on the mounting negative feedback is yet to be seen. Mails sent to Idea remain unanswered.

The Idea Internet Network, with an abbreviation that fits right alongside the Indian Institute of Technology, the Indian Institute of Management and another outfit run by a man know to file legal suits from Silchar, has turned up as a one-size-fits-all solution.

 

Forced to work in your dad's shop? IIN can teach you how to build a drone and make your work a little easier. Not allowed into college because you're third-gendered? IIN gives you access to subjects with the same glitchy user interface of the Indian educational system. Stuck in the middle of Haryana's patriarchal lands? Well, you're still locked in the house, but you can see what an outside education might look like on IIN.
