Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

EMERGENCE OF TOWER INDUSTRY
Source: Source: Aranca Research
A surge in the subscriber base has necessitated network expansion covering a wider area, thereby creating a need for significant investment in
telecom infrastructure
To curb costs and focus on core operations, telecom companies have been segregating their tower assets into separate companies. For example:
Reliance Communications has decided to finalise a deal to sell its stake in Reliance Infratel. The value of the deal is around US$3.68 billion
Creating separate tower companies has helped telecom companies lower operating cost and improve capital structure; this has also provided an
additional revenue stream
Inspired by the success seen by Indian players in towers business, most of the operators around the world are replicating the model
To reduce the carbon footprint for telecom infrastructure, including mobile towers, on 1st January, 2017, TRAI (The Telecom Regulatory Authority
of India), announced to bring consultation paper, that will review the issues related to carbon footprint.

Players differentiate themselves by providing different services to customers. For example,
• In 2015, Airtel India launched a mobile app “Wynk Movies”, it is a library that includes videos and movies
• In November 2015, Vodafone launched “Choose Your Number” facility where prepaid and post paid
customers get numbers of their own choice
Differentiation
Players price their products very carefully due to the price sensitive nature of customers and high competition
in the sector. Players generally go for price war. For example,
• In December 2016, Micromax launched low cost 4G Volte Smartphones, with a pre-activated Reliance Jio
Sim offer of free voice calls and data. These smartphones are launched in the range of US$67.21 to
US$114.57
• In September 2016, Reliance Jio 4G network plans have been launched. Free domestic voice calls have
been offered by Jio. No charge or deduction of data would be done for making voice calls to any network
across the country. Also, the company has offered cheaper data plans and tariff plans ranging
from US$2.28 to US$76.37 per month. As of October 2016, the company’s subscriber base had crossed
16 million customers
• In March 2017, CAT S60 smartphone was launched in India for US$ 966.81. The phone is loaded with a
thermal camera that can see through smoke and can be used in extreme temperatures.
Pricing strategy
Players are using innovative marketing strategies to succeed in this sector. For example,
• In August 2015, Idea Cellular launched new campaign “Get idea and dance”
• Airtel launched new ad campaign “Airtel myPlan Family”
