Abstract | With the increasing popularity of smart phones, mobile carriers have been launching various mobile communication plans providing voice, text, data and other services. The changes are primarily influenced by the increasing usage of smart phones. The usage extended beyond the traditional voice communication to the massive utilization of text messaging, and the exponential increase in data usage; including services to other types of mobile devices like hotspot [1] capabilities. The goal of this paper is to create an empirical model that incorporates quantitative and qualitative criteria for evaluation and selection of the best individual smartphone plan. This hierarchical model creates a quantitative framework applying semi-absolute scale to measure the value of each factor that contributes to the overall score of a plan. It integrates the relative desirability of the factors in the decision-making criteria with their priority assigned by the experts. The developed model with four levels of Objectives, Criteria, Factors and Plan desirability measures decode the complicated process of evaluating available smartphone plans. The result of the process is a subjective score that provides a relative desirability measure that helps with the selection of the best plan for each user category. In the effort to stay objective and away from personal preferences, this model is studying individual plans and not considering the phone hardware as well as the provider. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
