Microsoft Office Live Small Business Gives Entrepreneurial Women Strategies for Building a Successful BusinessVision to Venture conference series to feature renowned small-business experts: author Susan Wilson Solovic, radio personality Rich Sloan, and Internet marketing expert John Jantsch.

REDMOND, Wash., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Women are starting businesses at twice the rate of all others, outpacing their male counterparts.(1) Recognizing this trend, Microsoft Office Live Small Business (http://www.smallbusiness.officelive.com/) is teaming up with small-business experts to give entrepreneurial women the do's and don'ts of starting and growing a business in a conference series called Vision to Venture. Vision to Venture will be featured in five cities across America beginning April 2, 2008.

The conference series will offer a forum for women to network and learn smart and simple strategies from experts Susan Wilson Solovic, author of the "Girls' Guide to Building a Million-Dollar Business" and co-founder of SBTV.com; Rich Sloan, author, radio host and co-founder of Startupnation.com; and John Jantsch, author and founder of Duct Tape Marketing. For those who cannot attend in person, there will be an on-demand webcast available in mid-May.

During the conference, Solovic, Sloan and Jantsch will discuss the essential aspects of entrepreneurship: the "life" plan, the business vision, and finding and keeping customers. The following is a sneak peek at what each recommends women entrepreneurs to think about:

Solovic advises that the most important part to starting a business "is outlining your vision for the business and your ability to communicate that vision to others so they too can see and believe." Solovic says some of the challenges women entrepreneurs have are not being able to articulate their vision in a big way. "Women as a rule do not flaunt their style or success. Don't be afraid to think big and bold," says Solovic. "If you were in an elevator and had only 30 seconds to pitch a potential customer or client or patient -- what would you say to intrigue them?"

Solovic recommends that one way to help develop a good vision, which is a basis for a good business plan, is to find an experienced mentor. "Particularly for women just starting out, mentors play a critical role in that they offer a level of expertise and comfort entrepreneurs may not find elsewhere in their daily lives," Solovic says.

Sloan advises that in addition to starting a business plan, entrepreneurs should make sure they get a "life plan": "Entrepreneurs are often so focused on the service or product they want to develop -- they forget that they also will need time to take care of other aspects of their lives. Everyone should plan how much time they are willing to invest in their small businesses. Planning could help avoid the situation where your business ends up owning you instead of you owning it, which is very common and unforeseen among startup entrepreneurs. This is critical for women entrepreneurs, who generally are balancing work, family and volunteering."

Jantsch advises entrepreneurs to know who their customers really are: "Make sure you narrow your target so you are more effective in the services you offer -- you can't be all things to all people. Not only should you focus on the 'who,' but on the 'what.' What do you want people to say about your business? Once you get your business up and running, you will also need to find out what your customers are actually saying about your product or services. It's important to capture your customer's thoughts and words so you can incorporate them into your core marketing messages."

One way to get conversation going with customers is to blog, Jantsch says. "Blogging is becoming one of the most powerful trust- and traffic-building tools that any small-business owner can tap, whether you want to attract customers from around the world or around the block."

For women who cannot attend in person, Office Live Small Business will provide an online resource center and on-demand webcast. More information and registration instructions are available at http://www.smallbusiness.officelive.com/v2v.

Mercury Computer Systems Demonstrates Leadership in Sensor Computing with Design Wins in Radar and Image Processing Applications

CHELMSFORD, Mass., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. , a leading provider of specialized, high- performance computing solutions for HPC and embedded computing markets, was recently awarded a number of design wins for defense and commercial applications. These engagements, two of which are described below, represent the growing need for high-speed computation, in both passive and hazardous environments, and demonstrate why leading primes and OEMs continue to turn to Mercury to solve their most complex computing challenges.

"Mercury is uniquely qualified to address the demands of today's computationally intensive applications, as our breadth and depth of expertise in designing and building sensor computing systems is unmatched in the industry," said Didier Thibaud, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Advanced Computing Solutions for Mercury Computer Systems. "As we continue to refine and accelerate our product development and professional services in this area, we're expanding our served market base with new business opportunities that tap into our new VXS and VPX platforms, as well as our mainstay RACE++(R) technology, robust SBC portfolio, RF and mixed-signal technologies, and commercial network-ready AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA offerings -- all of which provide an open platform for technology insertion and migration."

Next-Generation Radar on the Go

Mercury is working with a leading defense prime contractor to integrate a ruggedized Mercury multicomputer to operate as the radar processor for an airborne platform with significant environmental constraints. The onboard radar system is a next-generation design that provides a lighter-weight configuration with full performance and compatibility with existing aircraft interfaces.

The contract calls for a hybrid Mercury chassis that incorporates RACE++ and VPX-REDI (Ruggedized Enhanced Design Implementation) technology and is designed for airborne platforms. The conduction-cooled enclosure allows the circuit boards to be sealed within the system without requiring airflow -- a key requirement to enabling sensor computing on the move in harsh temperature, vibration, and corrosive conditions.

Precision Landings with GPS and Mercury

Mercury was selected to provide high-speed computation for a program designed to improve precision approach and landing capability for military aircraft. The Momentum(TM) Series VPA-200 single-board computer (SBC) will be integrated into a GPS (global positioning system) that will enable aircraft to land on any sufficient land- or sea-based surface during adverse weather or terrain conditions such as a low ceiling, cross winds, extreme precipitation, poor visibility, and widespread surface debris.

Optimum Lightpath and Westchester County Showcase Eight Years of Technological Innovation and Economic Growth with 'Westchester's Intelligent Network at Work' MovieNearly Sixty Percent of Municipalities in the County and Thousands of Leading Businesses are Leveraging the Capacity, Speed and Reliability of Optimum Lightpath's Intelligent Enterprise Network

JERICHO, N.Y., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Optimum Lightpath(SM), a division of Cablevision Systems Corporation , and an industry leader in providing advanced Ethernet-based data, Internet, voice, video transport solutions and managed services, today announced the premiere of "Westchester's Intelligent Network at Work" -- an original video production created by Optimum Lightpath in association with Westchester County. The film features commentary from government and business leaders in Westchester County regarding the impact the Westchester Telecom Network has had on their growth and success. Optimum Lightpath hosted the premiere event yesterday at the Central Plaza Cinema in Yonkers, NY. The movie can be viewed online at http://www.optimumlightpath.com/westchester .

"Our network puts us light years ahead of most other communities. When I came up with the idea of creating a broadband network in Westchester, my goal was to make the county into a world-class business destination," said County Executive Andy Spano. "Not only has it helped us get more business to locate here, but it has also exponentially improved the quality of life for Westchester residents, providing better and more accessible education, healthcare and government services."

Built in 2000, the Westchester Telecom Network is considered to be one of the most robust and sophisticated telecommunications networks in the world. The Network spans 56,982 fiber miles and delivers services to nearly 60 percent of the municipalities located within the County, including nearly 225 government buildings and more than 200 commercial buildings, as well as schools, libraries, healthcare institutions and public safety organizations. The Network has successfully maximized accessibility to government services, improved telecommunications reliability and transmission quality, reduced overall telecom costs by millions of dollars, and boosted overall economic development efforts in the County.

"We're pleased to join with Westchester County to showcase our successful relationship and demonstrate how the Westchester Telecom Network has contributed to the economic success, growth and vitality of the County," said Dave Pistacchio, Optimum Lightpath's Executive Vice President and General Manager. "We look forward to working with Westchester County to further expand upon its vision for a world-class, 21st century business environment."

Two of the Westchester County organizations leveraging the Westchester Telecom Network in innovative ways are Westchester Medical Center and the Rye Neck School District.

Westchester Medical Center, the region's advanced care and Level 1 Trauma Center, offers the latest advances in clinical care, serving more than 3.5 million people in the region. The Westchester Telecom Network enables enhanced communication and sharing of data that is helping Westchester Medical Center to save lives. One example of this is in the Westchester Medical Center's Trauma Center, which often receives trauma patients transferred from other hospitals.

"We've been able to communicate with hospitals that are an hour and a half away from here that send their patients to us by helicopter. We can reach across the network and actually go into their PACS systems and see their imagery that they have taken of trauma patients," said Ted Tully, Director of Trauma and Emergency Services, Westchester Medical Center. "This enables us to alert our surgeons, neurosurgeons and radiologists to let them know that a patient is coming in, so that the time between the patient arriving at the hospital and that patient being taken into the operating room is cut dramatically -- not by minutes but probably by hours. We are definitely saving lives with this type of communication."

The Network is also enabling real-time telemedicine consultations with inmates at the Westchester County Jail. This solution provides a way for emergency room doctors to examine inmates without having to transport them. Since its implementation in March 2007, the program has positively impacted public safety and cut inmate visits to the emergency room by more than 50 percent.

"It's better for patients because they are able to be treated sooner. With telemedicine, we can consult with emergency room doctors almost immediately," said John Moustakakis, CIO, Senior Vice President, Westchester Medical Center. "And it's better for the County because it eliminates the cost of unnecessary trips to the hospital."

The Westchester Telecom Network is also enabling schools in Westchester County -- such as the Rye Neck School District -- to utilize cutting-edge technologies to enable distance learning and various other interactive educational tools in its classrooms.

"Access to Optimum Lightpath technology has changed the complexion of how we deliver education. What is important is that students are engaged and the technology supports student achievement," said Valerie Feit, Enrichment Coordinator, Rye Neck Union Free School District. "With access to broadband, we are able to work with more complex software systems and expand our learning environment beyond the school walls. For example, we have been able to offer gifted students the opportunity to work with high quality content and instructors from Stanford University through the Educational Program for Gifted Youth (EPGY) -- this a very exciting application, and one that wouldn't have been possible without access to the Network."

Westchester County was recently recognized globally for its economic efforts by The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) as one of the "top seven" most intelligent communities in the world. Gaining a place among the top seven is a major achievement toward greater recognition for Westchester's efforts to use broadband and information technology to attract leading edge businesses, stimulate job creation and generate sustainable economic growth.

InforMedix's Med-eMonitor, Med-eXpert Systems Achieve 89.5% Medication Adherence in HIV Patients

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- InforMedix Holdings, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: IFMX) , announced that results presented by Dr. David Bangsberg, an internationally renowned expert on medical adherence, at the Third International Conference on HIV Adherence, showed that HIV+ patients using its Med-eMonitor(TM) "smart pillbox" that monitors medication and care plan adherence, achieved an average 89.5% medication adherence rate. The Med- eMonitor "smart pillbox" is linked to the Med-eXpert(TM) software system that analyzes patient information and provides Web-enabled reports and urgent outbound alerts to caregivers when patients miss medication or suffer declining health.

Approximately 1.2 million people in the US are living with HIV, with an additional 40,000 becoming infected each year, costing the US health care system approximately $50,000-$75,000 per year per patient, or $50 to $75 billion in total annual costs. Average adherence to HIV antiretroviral therapy is under 70%, and 20-33% of HIV-positive patients will miss at least one of their doses over any given 3-day period. Given that a 10% difference in adherence by individuals is associated with a doubling of viral load, and a 21% increase in the risk of progression to full-blown AIDS; based upon the statistics above Med-eMonitor/Med-eXpert offers the potential for a 40% decrease in the risk of an HIV patient developing full blown AIDS.

The challenging population of 76 patients that were enrolled in the program not only suffered from HIV infection, but frequently were also suffering from drug abuse and severe mental illness, and were near-homeless.

According to Dr. Bangsberg "Without near-perfect adherence, complex anti- retroviral cocktails simply do not work, yet trying to improve adherence to HIV therapy today is like trying to monitor thousands of patients with high blood pressure - but with no equipment."

Dr. Bangsberg went on to say, "We were pleased with how well the Med- eMonitor System functioned in this very challenging population. The InforMedix field support team was also exemplary in their assistance, with rapid response to our needs."

Dr. Bangsberg is an associate professor of medicine in residence in the Division of Infectious Diseases and the San Francisco General AIDS Division at UCSF. He directs the Epidemiology and Preventions Interventions Center. Dr. Bangsberg's research program focuses on treatment outcomes in impoverished populations domestically and internationally. The REACH cohort of HIV positive homeless and marginally housed individuals forms the basis of his domestic research program, and the Uganda Antiretroviral Treatment Outcomes (UARTO) cohort of individuals on generic therapy in Uganda forms the basis of his international research.

According to Bruce A. Kehr, M.D., chairman and Chief Executive Officer of InforMedix, "We are extremely pleased with the outcome in this highly challenging population, which continues to document medication adherence rates averaging 90% or greater through the use of our Med-eXpert System. This rate of adherence has also been clinically proven in patients with diabetes, congestive heart failure, schizophrenia and those needing stroke prevention therapies. Med-eXpert's proprietary algorithms for data analytics, trend analysis, reporting, and automated caregiver alerts; combined with its Web- enabled programming of our Med-eMonitor and Med-ePhone(TM) portable patient appliances, have once again proven their effectiveness."

About InforMedix

InforMedix, Inc., based in Rockville, Maryland, has developed the Med- eMonitor(TM) System as The Medication Adherence Solution for consumer product and disease management markets, to deliver peace-of-mind, improved independent living, and better health outcomes to patients and their loved ones. The Med- eMonitor System ("Medication, Safe and Easy"(TM)) integrates a portable patient-interactive "smart pillbox", hardware, software, and 24/7 monitoring. This is designed to enable chronically ill patients and their loved ones, professionals in disease management programs, and medical researchers to efficiently monitor and manage Med-eMonitor users' medication and care plan adherence, clinical response, and drug safety.

ROO and Viewdle Create Partnership to Provide Optimal Video Search FunctionalityCutting Edge Facial Recognition Search Tool to Power Online Video Syndicate

NEW YORK, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ROO Group Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: RGRP) announced that it has entered into an agreement with Viewdle, Inc. to integrate the Viewdle facial recognition search technologies into the ROO media player environment.

Through this alliance, ROO will offer the Viewdle product as a white-label solution to its global network of corporate customers as a value-added service. The agreement provides for ROO's exclusive use of this technology vis-a-vis its direct competitors in the business-to-business IPTV platform marketplace. Viewdle will integrate its video search capability into the ROO player to offer a seamless user experience as either a stand-alone product or integrated with a broader ROO solution.

"To understand the magnitude of this type of technology, I think the reference point is the late '90s emergence of reliable data search as the primary traffic driver on the Internet," said Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, chairman and chief executive officer of ROO. "The reliability and usability of Viewdle's video search capabilities have the capacity to do for dynamic video content what Google's algorithms did for static data search."

Gavin Campion, president of ROO, commented, "Until now, video search has been powered by key words, meta tags, speech-to-text, optical character recognition and other relatively commoditized search techniques. Being able to look for faces -- identify Mel Gibson by look and not get Mel Brooks -- is a revolutionary step in search. We believe that this functionality -- when matched with speech-to-text and standard meta-tagging -- has the potential to be a major revenue driver for advertisers looking to leverage content and increase engagement across the hundreds of websites that utilize the ROO player."

Laurent Gil, president of Viewdle, added, "This partnership makes eminent sense: the ROO and Viewdle suite of products complement each other perfectly and working with ROO will enable us to reach large video content owners around the world who are looking for additional ways to catalogue and monetize their content."

The companies have immediately entered the integration phase with live customer deployment planned for 3Q 2008. The commercial model will be a combination of set-up fees and variable fees charged to corporate clients, based on time volume indexed and discrete consumer video searches performed through the system.

Viewdle announced on March 26, 2008 that it has received a strategic investment from KIT Capital, Ltd., the Dubai-based investment company controlled by ROO chairman & CEO Kaleil Isaza Tuzman.

ROO Group Inc. (OTCBB: RGRP), through its 100% subsidiary ROO Media Corporation, is a global service provider enabling businesses to leverage their digital media assets and provide an enhanced user experience.

The actual future results of ROO Group, Inc. could differ significantly from those statements.

BEA Systems Announces International Winners of Most Innovative Customer AwardsTelecom Leader EMBARQ is Most Innovative in the Americas

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BEA Systems, Inc. , a world leader in enterprise infrastructure software, today announced the winners of the company's international Most Innovative Customer awards, choosing three winners out of more than 50 nominees from across five continents.

In the Americas region, the winner was Embarq Corporation , a provider of a complete suite of integrated communications services including voice, data, high-speed Internet and wireless in 18 states and a member of the S&P 500. In the region covering Africa, Europe and the Middle East, the winner was Screwfix, one of the largest retailers of home-improvement products in the United Kingdom. The winner in the Asia Pacific region was China Construction Bank, a major commercial bank headquartered in China with offices in Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, London, New York, Singapore, Seoul and Tokyo.

"It was extremely difficult to choose just three winners from a number of great nominees that are doing creative, game-changing work with our technology," said Rob Levy, executive vice president and Chief Technology Officer at BEA. "We selected EMBARQ as the winner in the Americas region because their work best embodied the criteria of these awards -- they are using BEA products to transform their organization and the customer experience. Since its launch as a new company, EMBARQ has always looked for innovative ways to delight its customers in the face of growing competition."

When EMBARQ began working with BEA in 2006, it had just become an independent company. It was in the unique position of being a startup with an existing infrastructure.

"We were faced with challenges in developing an external website that used our existing investment while at the same time made it easy for our customers to conduct e-commerce such as ordering new products and services online," said Vallerie Parrish-Porter, chief information officer at EMBARQ. "At the same time, we needed an internal website that improved our business processes and allowed our employees across 18 states to work collaboratively to improve our customers' experiences. We not only met the challenge, but because the BEA software is easily upgradable, we laid the foundation for future improvements to meet the growing needs of our customers."

Screwfix is a multi-channel retailer that has sold products through its call center, website and catalogs for years. It recently extended its brand into nearly 100 brick-and-mortar stores. BEA technology has been a key enabler of this strategic expansion. Screwfix has modeled and built essential business processes on its BEA platform, and is utilizing BEA to address fundamental issues associated with entering a new sales channel, such as inventory and supply chain management, order processing, and much more.

China Construction Bank was named the "most profitable bank in Asia" by Asiaweek magazine in 2006. Much of its success can be traced to the state-of-the-art financial infrastructure it has built on a BEA foundation. The bank is frequently cited as operating one of the most innovative banking systems in the industry. BEA technology also provided the underpinning for one of the largest business integration projects anywhere in the world, spanning hundreds of applications and supporting 13,629 branch offices.

About EMBARQ

Embarq Corporation , headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, offers a complete suite of communications services. The company has approximately 18,000 employees and operates in 18 states. EMBARQ is included in the S&P 500.

For consumers, EMBARQ offers an innovative portfolio of services that includes reliable local and long distance home phone service, high-speed Internet, wireless, and satellite TV from DISH Network(R) -- all on one monthly bill.

Autonomy Announces New Advanced Features for Pan-Enterprise Search PlatformFirst Unified Platform to Transcend All File Types, Operating Systems, and Language Barriers for Business and Legal Search

BALTIMORE, Maryland - Gartner Portals, Content & Collaboration Summit, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc ( or ), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced the immediate availability of new advanced features for its Pan-Enterprise Search platform, IDOL (Intelligent Data Operating Layer), at the Gartner Portals, Content & Collaboration Summit taking place in Baltimore, MD from March 26 to 28, 2008.

"Despite standardization efforts, information is scattered across the enterprise among different vendors' software, in different formats, and among numerous servers and laptops," said Mike Lynch, Autonomy's CEO. "Autonomy's Pan-Enterprise Search platform is the only FRCP-compliant enterprise search platform available in the market, delivering a single unified and vendor-neutral platform for searching all file formats and media-types for legal and business purposes."

New advanced features include:

Drag and Drop Personalization is a next-generation functionality enabling users to personalize their information delivery by dragging content of interest into a custom box.

IDOL Deep Video Indexing (DVI) Advanced Features - Autonomy has further enriched its market-leading rich media support by providing powerful technologies for DVI and analytics. DVI differs from other technologies and uniquely tackles the challenge of asset identification and management through its use of groundbreaking methods and technology.

Geo-Cluster Maps - IDOL has enhanced its support for geo-efficiency by providing visualization tools to represent document density per location, thus allowing the administrator to quickly assess usage patterns and make informed decisions about load balancing.

Intent-Based Ranking uses ground-breaking algorithms to determine a user's intent when querying, thereby delivering highly targeted results based on the individual's profile and contextual factors. This new feature ranks results not simply based on popularity, keyword matches or other legacy algorithms, but automatically tailors the results to the user's purpose and the specific query, making search more effective and efficient.

Interlinking - By automatically identifying sub-areas of the document for which there are relevant links, IDOL creates a seamless delivery of related information to the user.

Multi-Dimensional Index & Query Throttling - By using a multi-dimensional index to provide valuable information to the distribution components, IDOL precludes bottlenecks and unbalanced peak loads during the indexing and query process.

Quantum Clustering - Using quantum mathematics to calculate states/concepts within data, conceptual information is more easily and accurately identified. Quantum wave functions are generated around the data, leading to global, stable results without relying on sampling.

Autonomy's presentations will include: Pan-Enterprise Search Platforms: Moving Beyond Single-Application Search When: Thursday, March 27, 2008 from 3:15 to 3:45pm Who: Gary Szukalski, Vice President, Customer Relations, Autonomy

CCID Consulting: China's Onboard Mobile TV Market Enters Fast Growth Period

BEIJING, March 26 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- CCID Consulting (Stock code: HK8235), an authoritative ICT research and management consulting firm and leading IT outsourcing service provider in China, and the first Chinese consulting firm listed in Hong Kong (Hong Kong Stock Exchange: HK08235), released on March 4, 2008, the 2007-2008 Annual Report on China's Onboard Mobile TV Market at the Consumer Electronics Market China 2008. The report shows that the year 2007 was an extremely important year for China's onboard mobile TV market. A series of events in the areas of policy environment, development of standards and market applications all produced a profound influence in the future development of onboard mobile TV in China.

Through several years of development, onboard mobile TV has seen the establishment of a relatively effective operation system for cooperation in the industry chain, laying the foundation for further development. Meanwhile, the ground transmission standards for onboard mobile TV are also being developed. Currently, 3 digital TV ground transmission standards in China have entered the stage of industrialization. These are Tsinghua University's DMB-T, Shanghai Jiaotong University's ADTB-T and The Academy of Broadcasting Science's TiMi and Europe's DVB-T. Industrialization for all these 3 major standards has gathered pace. Each of them has formed their own top-down industry chain. Urban onboard mobile TV has brought more revenue and financing demand to operators. This growth trend was particularly obvious in 2007. Meanwhile, mainstream urban onboard mobile TV operators in China have increased their inputs into their sales teams, strengthening their media sales abilities. By 2007Q4, sales teams already accounted for over 65% of all personnel in such mainstream enterprises as TOWONA, VisionChina Media, BUS- Online and Pearl Mobile TV. These enterprises' also actively expanded their cooperation with mainstream advertising agencies. On December 6, 2007, the State Administration of Radio, Film and TV issued a Circular on the Strengthening of Administration of Onboard and Building Public Audio and Video Carriers to the departments of radio, film and TV of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. The Circular has further stepped up the administration of the audio and video contents played on public audio and video carriers.

CCID Consulting's statistics show that onboard public transport audio and video systems in China has been developing rapidly. Currently, almost 30 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and cities under direct State planning have installed 136,000 onboard audio and video system terminals on their public transport. The main technologies adopted include ground (wireless) digital TV technology (digital mobile TV), hard disk (CF card and DVD) pre- recording technology and technology for making wireless downloads from fixed Internet points. Shanghai is the first city in China to apply ground (wireless) digital TV technology to offer onboard digital mobile TV services. Subsequently, Beijing, Changsha, Nanjing, Zhengzhou, Wuhan and Chengdu have successively provided digital mobile TV services on their public transport.

Currently, China's onboard underground railway audio and video system market mainly includes the 7 cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Chongqing and Tianjin. There are mainly 2 operators that run underground railway audio and video system advertisements nationwide in the country, namely VisionChina Media and DMG. The main technologies adopted include ground (wireless) digital TV, WIFI and pre-recording technologies. CCID Consulting's monitoring data show that in 2007, 9,607 mobile TV playing terminals were installed on onboard underground railway mobile TV in China. Among them, VisionChina Media owns 2,383 sets, while DMG 7,224 sets.

The growth of China's onboard mobile TV market in 2007 was exciting. CCID Consulting believes that onboard mobile TV in China has the 4 major advantages of compulsory viewing, wide audience, long contact time and stable viewing groups. However, it still has 2 most notable features at present.

Onboard mobile TV is characterized by highly monopolistic growth

Onboard mobile TV is a product between TV media and outdoor media. But for the time being, onboard mobile TV is basically monopolized by radio and TV operators. A channel license is required to play mobile TV on buses and underground railways. Currently, only radio and TV operators can enter this field. Mobile TV companies have been set up in over 40 cities across China. All of them are basically dominated by local radio and TV departments. This determines that such a business model is relatively stable.

Meanwhile, onboard mobile TV advertising revenue has huge growth potentials. As a new kind of mobile media, mobile TV now has advertising revenue as the main cash flow to support the market. Though specific statistics are lacking, it is judged from the overall development trend of advertisements on outdoor media that in 2007, outdoor advertising revenue in China reached 26.82 billion Yuan, accounting for 14.7% of the revenue from all the media advertisements placed, while the percentage is still under 5% in Western developed countries. Among outdoor advertisement carriers, the transport carrier accounted for some 45% or even more of the total outdoor advertising revenue, standing at 12.07 billion Yuan. Its market share is still expanding. From 2003 to 2007, advertising spending in China had a CAGR of 13.7%. Of this, outdoor media saw a growth rate of 19.9%. The development of mobile TV precisely matches with the period of great development of outdoor media. CCID Consulting's statistics show that in 2005, the onboard mobile TV advertisement market was of a size of 100-200 million Yuan, less than 1% of the advertisements on outdoor media. In 2007, the figure reached 780 million Yuan, accounting for 2.9% of the total outdoor media advertising revenue.

The industry chain gradually becomes clear, but profit models are still monolithic

Over the 5 years since onboard mobile TV was first launched in Shanghai, various localities in China have set up their mobile TV companies. A new nationwide mobile TV industry has gradually taken shape. The growth of the onboard mobile TV market has also attracted attention from various vendors, including the involvement of the radio and TV sector and local governments. From equipment makers (emission, receiving and display equipment) to content providers and channel operators, a relatively sound industry chain has developed. This chain includes such industry giants as Samsung, LG, Haier, Skyworth and Konka. As the management of the onboard mobile market involves several government departments and utility units, the problems of equipment inputs, property right and returns still need to be solved. Equipment makes, platform operators and content providers have yet to find clear cooperation models in the various links of the industry chain.

However, onboard mobile TV still belongs to TV media at present. This cannot change the profit model that advertising revenue is the main revenue for TV media. Though operators and related enterprises in some big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have made profits from it, the problem of profitability still remains in the short term for operators in most small and medium-sized cities and in some big cities. On one hand, it is due to actual conditions in the local place, such as public transport infrastructure, level of urban economy, and city size. On the other hand, it is due to the currently relatively monolithic profit models. The situation in which advertising revenue form the main part also forces mobile TV companies in various localities to seek better development models, further expand the extent of communication, improve effective viewing rate and better attract attention from advertisers.

5 major forces drive forward fast market growth, with the Olympic Games is the main impetus

CCID Consulting forecasts that in the next 5 years, the expanding and improving urban infrastructure, urban information systems and public transport systems will all provide a good market application environment for the healthy development of onboard mobile TV in China. It can be predicted that onboard mobile TV in the country will maintain rather fast growth in the next 5 years. This is due to 5 driving forces, namely push by the Olympic Games, industry upgrading, consumption upgrading, system reforms, policy driving and injection of advantageous resources.

Firstly, the Olympic Games will be the main driving force. Onboard mobile TV will become the main channel for people to watch the Olympic Games real time in a portable state. Thanks to the Olympics rush, enterprises will demand more advertisements. Overall advertising spending growth is expected to be up by 3%. ''Hi-tech Olympics'' is one of the 3 main themes of the 2008 Olympic Games. Beijing has undertaken to promise that all events of the Games will be broadcasted to the world by digital HD network technology. To achieve this goal, the Chinese government has apparently sped up its digital upgrading of cable TV in the country. For the game organizers, revenue from TV replays will be considerable. Meanwhile, there will be a big increase in the advertisements placed by multinational companies, well-known enterprises and major sponsors. Internationally well-known enterprises and China's top enterprises will surely not miss the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games as the best opportunity to publicize their products. Outdoor advertising as one of the most attractive advertising outlets will become the focus of competitions between major and well-known enterprises. Onboard mobile TV on public transport that can broadcast sports events real time will surely see a big increase in its advertising revenue.

Secondly, on the policy side, China has introduced its corresponding national standards for mobile TV. This laid the foundation of the development of onboard mobile TV across the country.

Thirdly, since 2005, leading mobile TV operators including VisionChina Media, TOWONA and BUS-Online have cooperated with local radio and TV departments to enter the mobile TV field and plan overall listing, These have provided new development opportunities for mobile TV. These 3 enterprises have all received funds from venture investment companies. VisionChina Media was listed in NASDAQ at the end of 2007. TOWONA is also actively making efforts to get listed.

Fourthly, digital TV is also bound to push forward the upgrading of China's onboard mobile TV industry. As the Digital Migration Project progresses smoothly, improving ground digital TV technologies and equipment suppliers' maturing terminal equipment technologies and applications are bound to push forward profit models changes for onboard mobile TV, which currently still takes advertising as its main source of revenue. New service contents such as interactive value-added services and personalized services are bound to effectively improve current profit models. New profit models with ''advertisement + viewing'' taking equal importance will become more colorful.

Fifthly, residents' rising income will also drive up entertainment and cultural consumption and further push forward the upgrading of onboard mobile TV at the consumer end in China. International experiences show that when a country's per capita GDP exceeds $3,000, residents' cultural and entertainment level in the country will start to grow fast. In 2006, China's per capita GDP reached $2,042. In Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the figure topped $3,500. In Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, it was over $6,000, $7,000 and $10,000, respectively. This shows that some fast-growing cities and regions in China have entered a period of fast growth in cultural and entertainment consumption.

CCID Consulting therefore forecasts that thanks to the business opportunities brought by the Olympic Games and the acceleration of ground digital TV, the accumulated number of onboard audio and video system terminals in China will top 211,700 sets in 2008. By 2012, the figure will reach 424,700 sets. Between 2008 and 2012, onboard mobile TV in China will achieve a CAGR of 23.7%.

Motorola Demonstrates Industry's First CDMA/EV-DO Rev-A to LTE Network HandoffsLab innovation accelerates next-generation network selection for CDMA carriers

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. today announced the first successful packet-switched network handoff between CDMA EV-DO Rev-A and Long Term Evolution (LTE) technologies in a demonstration with VoIP calls and streaming video. Motorola's handoff technique illustrates how service providers using CDMA-based networks today can smoothly integrate broadband OFDMA and IP packet-based wireless broadband technologies like LTE into their network, enabling the roll-out of more interactive services like HD mobile blogging and broadcasting, HD video-on-demand and online gaming.

Designed to encourage discussions and trials of high-performance, mobile broadband networks, Motorola's demonstration highlights LTE's potential for delivering multiple voice, video, data and wireless services with transparent mobility between LTE and legacy networks using multi-mode LTE/CDMA/EV-DO Rev-A enabled devices. The handoff also shows carriers interested in upgrading their networks the viability of deploying LTE while using their existing 3G network coverage and assets, without sacrificing service quality as consumers move between LTE and 3G network coverage zones.

"Technological enhancements such as the CDMA/EV-DO Rev-A to LTE handoff demonstration done by Motorola gives Alltel confidence that LTE is progressing in the right direction," said Chris Smith, executive vice president, Network Services, Alltel. "It is going to be incredibly important for LTE to inter-operate with our existing technology as this is one of many key functionalities that will play a critical role in our final decision making."

In this Motorola demonstration, laptops and mobile devices are equipped with dual radio transceivers that support both CDMA/EV-DO Rev-A and LTE and are active during the packet handoffs. As a device loses LTE connectivity, it automatically switches to EV-DO to ensure consistent streaming without dropping IP packets. The process is then reversed, and devices switch back to LTE when LTE connectivity is restored.

While the LTE standards are still under development, the handover mechanisms employed in this demonstration leverage concepts which are part of the non-optimized handover procedures in LTE core network SAE standard 3GPP TS 23.402.

The Motorola mobile devices and networks product and advanced technology teams collaborated to develop the necessary application software for the base station trial equipment and the mobile device used in the demonstration.

Dthree Uses Oracle(R) WebCenter to Deliver Enterprise 2.0 Marketing Management PlatformEnterprise Marketing Platform Company Uses Oracle Database and Oracle Fusion Middleware to Create Next-Generation Marketing Intelligence Software

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oracle today announced that dthree, a leader in customer interaction management, is using Oracle(R) Database and several components of Oracle Fusion Middleware to power its soon-to-be-released IntelliMaxx 5.0 platform.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020718/ORCLLOGO)

To help companies build stronger, more sustainable relationships between their customers and their brands, dthree, a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, created IntelliMaxx 5.0, an online marketing management platform that provides marketers with context-driven business intelligence and collaboration tools to improve campaign and business results. To build the platform, dthree required an infrastructure that could easily scale to accommodate management and analysis of rapidly growing data sets generated through customer interactions across multiple channels. The company also needed to maintain the flexibility and security necessary to help its clients and their customers take advantage of the range of rich Internet applications and functionality enabled by Web 2.0 technology. By deploying a software infrastructure from Oracle, dthree met both of these goals.

"For most marketers the complexity of their jobs is accelerating at an unprecedented pace," said Keyvan Cohanim, chief executive officer, dthree. "An increasing volume of data is coming at them from fragmented sources and being presented in multiple formats that often have little or nothing to do with the context in which the marketers will actually use the information. Using Oracle infrastructure software, we developed a platform that manages, analyzes and consolidates this wide array of data into a format from which marketers can easily take action to improve campaign performance on the fly."

Leveraging the Oracle Database and components of Oracle Fusion Middleware including Oracle Application Server, Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer, Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Universal Content Management, and Oracle WebCenter, dthree's IntelliMaxx interface consolidates multiple data sources into a secure, role-based, context-sensitive, real-time view of critical business information. The platform enables marketers to gain insight into customer behaviors and campaign success rates, collaborate more easily, and improve marketing effectiveness mid-stream, instead of waiting until a campaign has run its course to discover if it achieved the desired results. For example, using IntelliMaxx, the manager of a global email campaign can access a personalized workspace that may include charts highlighting key performance indicators, a blog containing the latest version of the campaign, external news feeds regarding industry or demographic trends, all emails and instant messages related to the campaign's development, and presence-aware contact information for key members of the marketing team. If the manager notices response rates are down for a specific customer segment, he can use this same workspace to collaborate with a business analyst regarding the reason for the low response rates, read the reply from the analyst, securely correspond with team members regarding potential changes, modify the campaign, and monitor the effects of the change in real-time -- all within the same screen.

"One of the key elements of Oracle WebCenter is that it allows us to deliver information in context," said Cohanim.

"The CEO, CFO and CMO might all have a need to access the same data set, but information needs to be presented in a manner specific to each person's role and level of security clearance. Oracle WebCenter makes that level of personalization possible within IntelliMaxx," said Igor Nesmyanovich, chief technology officer, dthree. "And, because it is so easy to configure, a user can quickly create individual workspaces that consolidate relevant information for each of their projects or campaigns."
