Tucows Announces Enhancement to the Tucows Email ServiceProvides Existing Email Providers an Effective Tool in the Battle Against Spam

TORONTO, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tucows Inc., a leading provider of Internet services to web hosting companies and ISPs worldwide, today announced the availability of a powerful solution to the global problem of spam. The Tucows Email Service now offers providers the option of using the spam and virus filtering portion of the service in conjunction with their current email infrastructure. The Tucows Email Service will continue to be available as a fully-hosted email service for those looking for a complete end-to-end email solution.

Tucows Email Service customers are able to select between fully-hosted email service, complete with POP3, IMAP, WAP and webmail access and 2GB of mail storage, or they may opt to continue to provide their own email access and storage while using the Tucows Email Service as a gateway that traps unwanted email at the front-door. Providers who choose this filtering-only option will benefit from a significant reduction in the volume of messages reaching existing email infrastructure while providing high-quality email filtering for their users.

"Our approach with the Tucows Email Service is to deliver the tools our customers need to provide simple, reliable and cost-effective email to their users," said Kim Phelan, Director, Messaging, Tucows. "We recognize that some existing providers of email want to continue to manage their own email infrastructure, but at the same time, might want to offload the increasingly challenging task of managing spam for their users. Providing the Tucows Email Service as an anti-spam filtering solution without the associated storage and inbox access addresses this need."

The Tucows Email Service Features: - Fully-hosted accounts include 2GB of storage, and IMAP, POP, WAP and AJAX-enabled webmail access. - For customers who choose the filtering-only option, a web-based spam quarantine is available that allows end users to review and manage filtered email. - The Tucows Email Service runs on virtual servers. This allows for ease of management in upgrading the environment's components, and in adding additional capacity. - Management of Tucows Email Service is done through the web-based Mail Administration Center (MAC) or via an API.

MTV's 'Choose or Lose' Citizen Journalists Cover Every Super Tuesday State With First-Ever Live Mobile-to-Web BroadcastsViewers Can Watch All the Action at MTVNews.com, ChooseorLose.com and Via Special MTV News On-Air Reports'Street Team '08' Citizen Journalists Armed with Market-Leading Nokia Nseries Devices and Flixwagon's Innovative Software

NEW YORK, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- MTV's army of Street Team '08 citizen journalists will cover the youth vote like no one else on Super Tuesday, delivering the first-ever live mobile-to-web broadcasts -- from polling stations, caucuses, candidate rallies and everywhere young voters congregate February 5th.

The real-time, on-the-spot reports will be streamed live all day from correspondents' video-equipped mobile phones to MTVNews.com and ChooseorLose.com. Throughout the day, MTV will regularly break into programming and showcase news featurettes excerpted from the live reports. The effort is part of MTV's constantly evolving, Emmy-winning "Choose or Lose" campaign and will offer the network's citizen journalists an unprecedented stage -- with the potential to reach as many as 100 million viewers -- as they bring all the Super Tuesday action to America's youth as it happens.

"Young people are taking hold of the political process like never before, and are clamoring to share and react to the stories as they unfold on the campaign trail in real-time," said Christina Norman, President of MTV. "The Street Team's Super Tuesday coverage will be hyper-focused on the issues and stories that matter most to our audience, empowering them to experience the day's historic events in a whole new way."

MTV's Street Team of citizen journalists will be using Nokia N95 devices, fully-fledged multimedia computers with a leading-class 5 megapixel camera and DVD-like quality video camera capabilities that allow them to create, edit and upload their stories instantly to the Internet. "Nokia is proud and excited to see our flagship Nokia N95 multimedia devices being used so creatively to support and promote the electoral process," commented Bill Plummer, Vice President, Sales, Nokia Americas. "Nokia Nseries devices are at the forefront of mobile technology, in this case delivering real-time high-quality Internet- ready audio and video reporting from the polls -- the very way that first-time and future voters have come to expect their news."

An innovative application, provided by Flixwagon, powers the mobile broadcasting technology by allowing anyone with a capable 3G phone to stream live video to the Internet and store it for later viewing. "Flixwagon.com is changing the way people share life experiences," said Eran Hess, President, My Frame Inc. "The Choose or Lose campaign is an excellent example of how Flixwagon can empower people to broadcast their own unique perspective of Super Tuesday from their mobile phone and share it live on the Web with millions of people."

An interactive map at MTVNews.com and ChooseorLose.com will notify users when the citizen journalists are broadcasting live from one of the 23 states holding a primary or caucus on February 5th. In addition to mobile reporting, the Street Team members will be blogging the latest from every Super Tuesday state throughout the day on ChooseorLose.com.

MTV's innovative mobile phone-to-Web efforts on Super Tuesday are an element of its acclaimed "Choose or Lose '08" campaign to engage, educate and empower young voters. A major component of this year's campaign is the "MTV Street Team '08" -- 51 state-based citizen journalists who contribute weekly, multimedia reports (such as short form videos, blogs, animation, photos, podcasts) that are distributed via WAP site m.StreetTeam08.com, carriers in the MTV Mobile family, the Think Community (Think.MTV.com) and several other media platforms.

Carefully selected by MTV after an extensive nationwide search, the one- of-a-kind press corps utilize mobile media like laptops, video cameras and cell phones to uncover the untold political stories that matter most to young people in their respective states. All 51 of the "Street Team" members have active profiles on Think.MTV.com, MTV's online community where young people, their friends and some of the biggest names in pop culture come together to bring about positive social change.

The "Street Team '08" program is made possible by a $700,000 Knight News Challenge grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Knight News Challenge, at http://www.newschallenge.org/, is an annual worldwide competition awarding $5 million for innovative ideas that use digital media to inform and inspire communities. The Knight Foundation plans to invest at least $25 million over five years in the search for bold community news experiments.

On the Saturday before Super Tuesday, MTV, MySpace and the Associated Press are offering all of the frontrunner candidates from both parties one last chance to address the important youth voting bloc with "Closing Arguments: A Presidential Super Dialogue." Taking place Saturday, February 2, 2008 at 6 PM ET live on-air, online, radio and mobile phones, the event is the next installment of MySpace and MTV's acclaimed Presidential Dialogue Series. More info on how to watch or join in and pose real time questions to confirmed participants Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee, Barack Obama and Ron Paul is available at http://www.chooseorlose.com/.

The annual ISEF -- the world's largest high school-level science fair -- attracts more than 1,200 students from more than 40 countries. The 2010 event is set to bring together tomorrow's technologists with a focus on mentoring global innovation in what is now considered the "Olympics" of science fairs.

The ISEF will partner with organizations like Google to highlight the importance of scientific and technological innovation from young people. "The ISEF is a highly diverse event that reaches out to under-represented minorities in science and technology, which complements our efforts to contribute to the cultivation of a true global community," said Alan Eustace, Senior Vice President of Engineering and Research. "Since Google was founded on revolutionary engineering, we are committed to shaping a strong foundation for innovation among future leaders worldwide."

"Google is one of the many Silicon Valley powerhouses that continue to inspire technology ingenuity, and their partnership truly fits and builds upon the essence of the ISEF 2010 event," explained Dana Ditmore, President of ISEF 2010. "In addition, Google's efforts to promote innovation and education among promising young inventors parallels the ISEF's mission to showcase the value of math, science, engineering and technology, so we are thrilled to have such a complementary collaboration take shape."

As the premier sponsor, Google will host events throughout the show, including a Women in Science and Technology Panel with the Anita Borg Institute -- one of the company's partners in promoting the role of women in all aspects of technology. Google will also contribute an estimated $2 million over the years leading up to the event and host the official 2010 ISEF website.

Held every May since 1950, the ISEF is organized by Society for Science & the Public (SSP), a non-profit organization committed to the public understanding and appreciation of science.

HOUSTON, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ION Geophysical Corporation today announced its latest commitment to environmental conservation by becoming the first corporate sponsor of the Pongos Helping Pongos program, a Houston Zoo initiative that supports the critically endangered orangutan species on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. ION is committed to environmental sustainability, with this sponsorship merely the latest expression of its intent to support the communities in which it operates.

Pongos Helping Pongos, featuring 'Paintings by Orangutans, for Orangutans,' is a program with numerous benefits. Orangutans at the Houston Zoo are given an opportunity to express their innate creativity and intelligence by producing works of art, while proceeds generated from artwork sales support field conservation efforts at Indonesia's Gunung Palung National Park and Malaysia's Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary. To date, the Houston Zoo has raised nearly $50,000 for these two conservation areas, which represent some of the last remaining natural habitats for wild orangutans.

"Several leading zoos have pioneered the concept of having their animals paint," stated Peter Riger, Assistant Director of Conservation at the Houston Zoo. "We expanded on this simple concept by incorporating the sale of the artwork once it is created by the animals. Now, our orangutans not only have an outlet for their creativity, but they also have a means of generating both interest in their well-being and funds that supports other orangutans in the wild. Our Houston Zoo orangutans are now playing an integral part in a cross-border conservation program and acting as ambassadors for their species. Our aspiration to make the Houston Zoo a leader in protecting threatened wildlife and helping all of us appreciate our natural world is being acknowledged by zoo visitors and, quite honestly, by others around the world who may never have had the opportunity to visit us in Houston. The Pongos Helping Pongos program is one of the many initiatives we are leading to support conservation around the world."

"We are excited to be collaborating with the Houston Zoo on the Pongos program," says Chris Friedemann, Senior Vice President, ION Corporate Marketing. "Not only does the initiative support a great cause like environmental conservation, it also demonstrates the innovative mindset that is core to ION. Our employees take great pride in protecting the environment and supporting the communities in which we operate. It's a privilege for us to help the Houston Zoo expand the awareness and potential impact of their Pongos program."

The Houston Zoo is gearing up for its 3rd annual Pongos Helping Pongos silent auction event to be held on the evening of March 29, 2008 at the G Gallery in the Houston Heights district. Animal art will be on display and silently auctioned for the purpose of raising awareness and funds for animal conservation, welfare and humanitarian aid around the world.

ATK to Seek Investment Canada Act Approval for MDA AcquisitionFiling Supports ATK's Vision to Grow its Global Space-Related Business in Canada

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alliant Techsystems announced today that it will file an Investment Canada Act (ICA) Registration relating to its planned acquisition of the Information Systems and Geospatial Businesses of MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates (TSX: MDA). The company expects the acquisition to close in the first quarter of its fiscal year, after ICA review, regulatory approval and MDA shareholder approval.

"ATK welcomes a thorough review of its acquisition plan by industry officials and will work closely with the Canadian government throughout the review process," said Chairman and CEO Dan Murphy. "We believe this acquisition will strengthen the Canadian aerospace industry, grow Canada's world-class aerospace expertise, and open new doors for MDA's proven high performance technology to U.S. and international markets."

Once the acquisition is closed, ATK will merge its existing satellite assets with the MDA space business to form ATK Space Systems. The Canadian-based facilities and workforce will remain in Canada, preserving the company's unique and complementary strengths, and drive much of the group's growth profile.

The Investment Canada Act review will run concurrently with a U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino review. The transaction is also subject to MDA shareholder approval. ATK now expects to complete all reviews and approvals by late May or early June.

Headquartered in Edina, Minnesota, ATK is a world leader providing small satellites and large satellite sub-systems, hypersonic engines, rocket motors for spacecraft launch and orbit transfer -- programs critical to reaching new space frontiers. With approximately 17,000 employees and annual revenue in excess of $4.1 billion (USD), ATK is the world's largest producer of solid rocket motors and the prime contractor for the first stage of Ares I, NASA's next-generation launch vehicle.

(1) Croissance << comparable >> c'est-à-dire pour les activités poursuivies (c'est-à-dire hors Silicomp America cédée au 1er avril 2007).

Dans un marché national en progression de 6% à 8%, la croissance du chiffre d'affaires est très soutenue en France (soit +18,6% sur un an et +27% sur le seul quatrième trimestre). La France représente 83% de l'activité du groupe. Les activités Systèmes & Réseaux (+15,9% de croissance sur l'année) ont, compte tenu d'une saisonnalité habituelle, tiré les résultats du quatrième trimestre (+27% sur cette période). Dans l'activité de Technologies de l'Information la croissance est très supérieure à celle du secteur (+22% sur l'année et +30,5% sur le seul quatrième trimestre). L'activité de Conseil & L@bs, quant à elle, profite de son développement dans le domaine des cartes à puces et du RFiD, dans un marché de plus en plus concurrentiel (+4,2% sur l'année et +5,4% sur le seul quatrième trimestre).

Sur les marchés extérieurs, la situation est contrastée.

L'Amérique du Nord est en baisse de 51% en termes réels compte tenu de la cession de Silicomp America au 1er avril 2007. Le développement au Canada est satisfaisant (+11% à change constant). L'Asie est en forte baisse, avec un volume d'affaires qui décroit de 45% au quatrième trimestre et 35% sur l'année. Le fort développement des activités à Taiwan n'ont pas compensé l'absence de renouvellement des projets d'intégration majeurs à Singapour. La croissance en Belgique et en Suisse est satisfaisante, compte tenu d'un marché relativement atone en 2007.

EVOLUTION DE L'EXPLOITATION(*)

Le résultat opérationnel courant estimé ressort à 6,7MEUR(*) contre 6,2MEUR un an plus tôt (soit une stabilité relative à 5% du chiffre d'affaires). Ce résultat comprend 1,5MEUR de charges liées à des services fournis par le groupe France Télécom et au rapprochement avec ce groupe, dont:

- 1,2MEUR de charges récurrentes en contrepartie de prestations de direction, de prestations d'assistance et d'un accord de licence de marque ;

- 567KEUR de charges non récurrentes, directement liées à la prise de contrôle de France Télécom et à la garantie de cours offerte subséquemment.

Si l'on exclut ces charges non récurrentes de 567KEUR, le résultat opérationnel courant ressort à 7,3 MEUR. La marge opérationnelle calculée sur ces bases serait ainsi de 5,3%(*). Toutes les zones géographiques sont rentables.

Effectifs : au cours de l'année, l'effectif a progressé de 18,5% pour atteindre 1 404 personnes au 31 décembre 2007. Le taux d'inter-contrats est resté très faible à 2,5% sur le quatrième trimestre et en moyenne à 3% sur l'année 2007 (contre 4,5% sur l'année 2006).

Myspace, MTV and The Associated Press Confirm Senator Barack Obama and Representative Ron Paul to Join Senator Hillary Clinton and Governor Mike Huckabee in 'Closing Arguments' February 2ndCandidates to Interact With Highly Engaged Youth Voting Bloc Just Prior to Super TuesdayChance to Connect with Up to 200 Million Voters on TV, Online, Radio and Mobile Phones

LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- MySpace, the world's most popular social network, and MTV, the leading global youth brand, along with The Associated Press, today announced Senator Barack Obama (http://www.myspace.com/barackobama / http://think.mtv.com/profile/BarackObama) and Representative Ron Paul (http://www.myspace.com/ronpaul2008 / http://think.mtv.com/profile/ronpaul) will join Senator Hillary Clinton (http://www.myspace.com/hillaryclinton / http://think.mtv.com/profile/HillaryClinton08) and Governor Mike Huckabee (http://www.myspace.com/mikehuckabeeforpresident / http://think.mtv.com/profile/MikeHuckabee) for "Closing Arguments: A Presidential Super Dialogue." The event will offer candidates a final opportunity to actively engage the highly-coveted youth voting bloc just before Super Tuesday, when more than 20 states will hold their primaries and caucuses. "Closing Arguments" is the next installment of MySpace and MTV's ground-breaking Presidential Dialogue Series (http://www.myspace.com/election2008) and will take place live Saturday, February 2, 2008 at 6 PM ET on-air, online, radio and mobile. The event will offer audiences an unprecedented number of options to tune-in and pose their candid, unfiltered questions to front running candidates. The Associated Press will distribute a live feed and on-demand highlights of the Dialogue to the 1,800 media sites in its Online Video Network, nearly 600 of which are local TV, newspaper or radio sites in states with Super Tuesday primaries. Senator John McCain and Governor Mitt Romney have also been invited to participate in the event.

With the presidential candidate field narrowing after the Florida primaries, "Super Dialogue" participants will vie to earn the support of young voters expected to turn out in record numbers on Super Tuesday. Each candidate will have the floor for roughly 15-20 minutes, individually addressing questions posed by online viewers via MySpaceIM, ChooseOrLose.com and from the live college-aged audience in MTV's Times Square Studio in New York. Young voters have shown an exceptionally high turnout at this year's primaries and caucuses to date, tripling their presence in Iowa and South Carolina, and doubling in New Hampshire vs. four years ago. WashingtonPost.com political reporter Chris Cillizza, MTV News Correspondents Gideon Yago and Sway Calloway, and the Associated Press political writer Philip Elliott will moderate the Dialogue.

"Closing Arguments" will be the most publicly accessible and interactive presidential candidate event in history, with a record number of ways for people to watch and participate:

-- Broadcast live on MTV, MTV2, and MTV Tr3s, with highlights on college network mtvU

-- Streamed live online via MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/election2008) and MTV's http://www.chooseorlose.com/

-- Distributed live to the Associated Press Online Video Network, encompassing more than 1,800 media sites with an aggregate reach of 61 million unique visitors - and nearly 600 local media outlets in Super Tuesday states

-- Streamed live on mobile devices via MTV Mobile -- Broadcast live on radio via XM Satellite Radio, MTV, and AP Radio

-- Translated into Spanish and broadcast on ImpreMedia's LaVibra (http://www.lavibra.com.candidatos/)

-- Shown on MTV 44 1/2, MTV's hi-definition screen in Times Square -- Live studio audience participating at MTV's Times Square studio

A revolutionary polling tool, powered by Flektor (http://www.flektor.com/), will enable viewers watching online to indicate their approval or disapproval of candidates' responses throughout the course of the event and help guide the direction of the forum. A "popular vote" function will allow viewers to compare their opinions against those of the entire viewing community.

Previous MySpace/MTV Presidential Dialogues have featured former Senator John Edwards at the University of New Hampshire, Senator Barack Obama at Coe College in Iowa, and Senator John McCain at Southern New Hampshire University, individually engaging with students at each event and addressing unfiltered questions posed by both online viewers and the live audience.

The Presidential Dialogue series is a key component of the MySpace Impact Channel (http://impact.myspace.com/) and MTV's "Choose or Lose" (http://www.chooseorlose.com/). "Choose or Lose" is MTV's Emmy-Award winning campaign to engage, inform and empower young voters on the political issues that matter to them most. First launched in 1992, the campaign has helped fuel several of the largest youth voter turnouts in US history, including in 2004, when it helped inspire nearly 22 million 18-30 year olds to register and vote. The Impact channel is MySpace's new hub for social and civic engagement, designed to empower MySpace users to make a difference in the world and to allow politicians, non-profits, and civic organizations to connect with MySpace's global audience. The Impact Channel houses the official MySpace pages for all of the major party Presidential candidates, as well as tools to enable voter registration, fundraising, and volunteering. On January 1 and 2, 2008 the Impact Channel hosted the first in nation presidential primary with more than 150,000 MySpace users voicing their choice for the nation's highest office.

Nstein Technologies launches its new Partner ProgramThe company recruits Douglas Liles, former Quark Senior Manager, to lead channel partner program

MONTREAL, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nstein Technologies Inc. http://www.nstein.com/ (TSX-V: EIN), a leader in online publishing solutions for newspapers, magazines and online content providers, announced today the creation of a formal partner program specifically designed for the system integrators and developers community. The program will initially be presented on the company's web site (http://www.nstein.com/partner) and formally introduced to clients at Nstein's 2008 User Conference in May.

The development community is particularly interested in Nstein's technology because it is ideal for publishers who need to integrate legacy content sources without sacrificing the ability to take advantage of the powerful XML enrichment and publishing technology that is core to Nstein's application suite.

To launch the program, Nstein Technologies has tapped the skills of Douglas Liles, formerly responsible for Strategic Business Development and Partner Relations at Quark. "Nstein's technology suite is built on industry SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) standards and provides rich API's to enable partners to adapt the platform for specific customer needs or even create turnkey content workflows for specific use cases," said Douglas, who has many years of experience in deploying channel partner programs to enterprise-class partners. "There's ample opportunity for partners to augment our solutions' core taxonomies, define XML processing handlers and create rich interfaces to meet the requirements of a content-driven enterprise."

"Having partners that are able to add unique value to our core media, entertainment and publishing markets is a key element in our strategy for migrating our clients' assets and workflows from a single channel for print to one that is completely unified for print, online, mobile and other syndicate media outlets," said Luc Filiatreault, President and CEO at Nstein Technologies. "We're very excited to extend our sales footprint beyond where we have already been successful selling directly to our end clients."

Liles added: "Nstein worked with interactive agencies that were able to deploy working interfaces for its solutions within a very aggressive timeline. It is this kind of power and speed that makes Nstein's Online Publishing Solutions so attractive to large scale Web development companies focused on the media and publishing space. Nstein's XML-based publishing platform provides a tremendous advantage for Web developers who do not have core XML expertise, but want to provide publishers multichannel delivery capabilities and compelling online properties with stickier user-experience."

Along with providing sales, technical and training support, Nstein also supplies its partners with the comprehensive documentation and APIs that are necessary for successful deployments. Nstein's Partner Program is built to ensure the partners will financially benefit from their partnership while offering their clients industry-proven content management solutions for media, entertainment and online publishing.

Verizon Wireless Completes Over $160 Million in Upstate New York Network Enhancements in 2007100 New Cell Sites Activated Region-Wide; Coverage Coming To Northway in Adirondack Park

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless today announced the completion of more than $160 million in network enhancements in Upstate New York in 2007, including the addition of 100 new cell sites throughout the region. The company also began work on a project to bring wireless coverage to a nearly 50-mile stretch of Interstate 87 between Albany and Plattsburgh. Verizon Wireless is the only company working to bring wireless service to that area.

The regional investment is part of more than $6 billion invested nationwide last year and more than $40 billion invested across the nation in the past seven years. Local network enhancements include adding and upgrading cell sites to improve call handling capacity and quality, increase coverage, and expand wireless broadband services for business and consumer use.

"Investment in our network is an investment in customer satisfaction," said Marquett Smith, president of the company's Upstate New York Region. "An outstanding customer experience begins with connecting and holding calls, and customers continue to choose Verizon Wireless because we have the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network."

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during 2007 as the company continued to attract new customers -- more than 7 million during the year -- and improved upon its customer retention rates which are the best in the industry.

Bringing coverage to the Northway

In 2007, Verizon Wireless unveiled its plan to bring wireless service to the Northway corridor within the Adirondack Park by building 11 new cell sites in six communities. Four applications were submitted to the Adirondack Park Agency for review before year end and one was approved, the remaining three are awaiting approval. Applications for the remaining cell sites will be submitted upon completion.

Expanding BroadbandAccess coverage

The company expanded BroadbandAccess, its high-speed wireless data service, into the Utica market in October and doubled the size of its existing BroadbandAccess coverage areas in the Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, and Poughkeepsie markets. These expansions make service available along the entire length of the New York State Thruway from south of Buffalo to the New York City area. The service is also available in Binghamton, Elmira/Corning and Ithaca. The entire BroadbandAccess network was also enhanced to EV-DO Revision A technology in 2007, providing customers across the region access to e-mail, corporate data and the Internet at faster speeds.

Mobile professionals throughout much of New York State can now enjoy an untethered mobile office experience, enabling them to wirelessly access their calendars, e-mail and critical business information residing behind corporate firewalls. V CAST entertainment services have transformed Verizon Wireless phones, allowing local consumers to carry a single multifunctional device providing access to downloadable music, high-quality videos, 3D games and turn-by-turn navigation services.

V CAST TV now playing in Syracuse

In December, Verizon Wireless launched its V CAST Mobile TV service in Syracuse -- the first deployment of the service in Upstate New York -- giving local residents the ability to watch real broadcast-quality television on select mobile TV-enabled handsets.

The company also continued to invest in redundancy capabilities designed to keep the network operating during power outages and in its rigorous quality assurance program - daily testing designed to analyze network reliability and assist the company in targeting improvements.

Verizon Wireless' investment in the Upstate New York region reflects its commitment to offer customers the most reliable wireless service available. The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "Can you hear me now" national advertising campaign.

These engineers drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles over 240,000 miles on average each quarter on Interstate, U.S. and state highways, as well as major roads and surface streets. Test vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than 750,000 voice call attempts and more than four million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

Verizon Wireless recently introduced its 30-day Test Drive, an industry first that lets customers experience its network virtually risk-free for 30 days. If customers are not satisfied with their experience and take their number to another carrier, Verizon Wireless will refund their money for calls, equipment, activation fee and taxes. For more information about Verizon Wireless products and services, visit a Verizon Wireless Communications Store, call 1-800-2-JOIN-IN or go to http://www.verizonwireless.com/.

The largest U.S. wireless company and largest wireless data provider, based on revenues, Verizon Wireless is headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 68,000 employees nationwide.

This network expansion is part of the company's aggressive multi-billion dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless voice and data services. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $40 billion in the last seven years -- on average, more than $5 billion every year since the company was formed -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services, including wireless data services such as picture messaging, text messaging, and wireless Internet access. NationalAccess, the company's national high-speed wireless data network, provides wireless Internet access at speeds between 60 and 80 kbps, with bursts up to 144 kbps.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the fourth quarter of 2007 as the company added 1.9 million net retail customers. Verizon Wireless is the leader in wireless customer loyalty, posting a retail customer turnover rate of 1.2%, below the rate reported by the other major wireless carriers.

The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "Can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. These engineers drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles over 240,000 miles on average each quarter on Interstate, US and state highways, as well as major roads and surface streets. Test vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than 750,000 voice call attempts and more than four million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

New York City Uses Mobile GPS From AT&T and TeleNav to Help Keep City CleanNew SCOUT Program Allows for Constant Mobile Monitoring of Graffiti, Litter, Potholes and Other Conditions

NEW YORK, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. and TeleNav, the first company to launch a GPS navigation service for mobile phones in the U.S., announced today that New York City is using a mobile GPS solution from TeleNav and AT&T to improve the quality of life for residents. Last summer, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg launched the New York City SCOUT (Street Conditions Observation Unit) program. In this program, inspectors report street conditions by using the TeleNav Track(TM) solution on their GPS-enabled BlackBerry(R) 8800 mobile handsets, which use the AT&T wireless network, as they drive through the city.

TeleNav Track provides the inspectors with customized wireless forms for easy data entry on their BlackBerry handsets, and the GPS technology helps management identify where SCOUT inspectors have been. This information is then wirelessly captured by AT&T's nationwide(1) wireless data network. Then it is sent to the 3-1-1 Customer Service Center, which sends the information to the appropriate agency for corrective action, including the city's Department of Sanitation, Department of Transportation, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Buildings and the Department of Parks and Recreation.

"This new team, equipped with GPS technology, will bring an extra set of eyes to our city streets," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Whenever I'm driving through the city and see a pothole or garbage on the street, I'll pick up the phone and report the problem to 3-1-1, just like thousands of citizens do every day. Now, we'll deploy a team of veteran city workers to do the same while armed with new technology and their knowledge of quality-of-life concerns in our city."

The SCOUT inspectors will observe and report conditions, including: illegal dumping, street potholes, graffiti on buildings, missing traffic signs, dangling or down traffic signs, open fire hydrants, down newspaper boxes, property damage in parks and damage to bus shelters and sidewalk shed ads.

The SCOUT team includes 15 inspectors, most of whom will drive three-wheeled scooters and travel every city street once a month.

"Thousands of organizations are now using TeleNav Track to leverage mobile GPS technology and create more efficient processes," said HP Jin, co-founder, president and CEO of TeleNav. "We are proud that, using AT&T's advanced wireless data network, we can provide New York City with a solution that will make a difference in the community."

TeleNav Track uses GPS and wireless technologies to provide business-management solutions via mobile devices. It includes a variety of mobile features, including GPS tracking/reporting and navigation, wireless job dispatching, wireless forms and wireless barcode scanning.

"New York City is an outstanding example of a technologically savvy municipality that is using an intuitive and easy-to-deploy wireless data solution to enhance the quality of life for millions of residents," said Chris Hill, vice president of Government Solutions for AT&T's wireless unit. "AT&T's wireless network and TeleNav-equipped BlackBerry handsets help improve the city's processes and leverage its 3-1-1 center investment by capturing valuable information from remote SCOUT crews."

AT&T has been working with New York City for several years and provides a broad range of voice and data communications solutions for the city's multiple agencies.

The flexibility of mobile data applications, such as TeleNav Track, and the broad choice of devices and network coverage available through AT&T have led to a significant increase in the adoption of wireless data across all industry segments. AT&T is the world's leading provider of BlackBerry services and operates the largest national wireless data network in the U.S., with availability in more than 13,000 cities and towns and along some 40,000 miles of major highways.
