NTC To Launch A Social Networking Site Chautari.
Do you like this story?
With Facebook and Google fighting with each other to be the King of social networking, Nepal Telecom has announced to launch a Social Networking site 'CHAUTARI.' Currently, when logged to http://chautari.ntc.net.np/ it says 'Website is under Construction'. But according to Saroj Kumar Shakya, Nepal telecom's deputy manager at Information and Technology directorate , Chautari is currently in the phase of internal testing and will go online soon. Its server will itself be in Nepal and all the contents has been prepared in Nepal.The site is same as the Facebook with chat , groups ,photo sharing etc. It can have the capacity of 1 million users at the starting and will be extended as per the need. NTC mobile subscribers will be able to send free sms through the site. Although there will be the limitation of 10 messages per day.
Many websites quote "NTC to compete with facebook." But I personally don't think thats the case. With search giant Google and Social King Facebook trying to be no 1, theres no way NTC can even think competing with either Facebook or Google Plus. But if Chautari is good enough to use then one cannot doubt its popularity in Nepal.
We should take this action of NTC as positive step towards establishing Nepal in a social networking platform.But the question is Was this really necessary?
Here are some of my personal feelings on chautari.
- NTC should have focussed on improving the current telecom services rather than launching a "so called" social networking site.
- Mobile services are not good enough and internet services provided are creepy too. If this is the way with chautari, i guess it will get down for maintenance or crash numerous times.
- On the positive side, I think this is a good initiative shown by them to initiate social networking within Nepal using Nepali experts. If they work hard on fixing current issues on telecom sector and maintain chautari well, then there is no doubt in success of chautari. GOOD LUCK NTC !
How do u feel about Nepal Telecom launching its own social networking site without focusing to solve the existing issues in telecom sector.Feel free to post your feelings about CHAUTARI on the comment section.

I am sure NTC will use some facebook clone codes available commercially.

They might use. But the question is Will they be able to maintain them? I hardly think they can.
