    New AMRAAM Variant Destroys Target During Recent Test

    WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M., March 27, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- A Raytheon Company AIM-120D Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile successfully destroyed its target Feb. 13 in a test engagement of the newest variant of the combat-proven missile.

    The AIM-120D AMRAAM was fired by a U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter aircraft from the Navy's VX-31 squadron against a QF-4 target drone. The missile guided to a direct hit, destroying the drone and meeting all primary test objectives.

    "By putting the AIM-120 through these rigorous tests, the U.S. government and Raytheon are ensuring the warfighter receives a state-of-the art weapon system unparalleled in performance and reliability," said Brock McCaman, vice president of Raytheon Missile Systems' Air-to-Air product line.

    The AMRAAM missile has been developed through the combined efforts of the U.S. Air Force's Air Armament Center, the U.S. Navy, and Raytheon. The AIM- 120D is currently in the system design and development phase.

    "The AIM-120D builds on the combat proven AMRAAM by adding an enhanced electronic protection suite, two-way data link, and GPS-aided navigation," said Judy Stokley, U.S. Air Force deputy program executive officer for Weapons. "When the missile reaches initial operating capability, our warfighters will have a beyond visual range missile with unparalleled capability in our quest for air dominance."

    Raytheon Company, with 2007 sales of $21.3 billion, is a technology leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government markets throughout the world. With a history of innovation spanning more than 85 years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and command, control, communications and intelligence systems, as well as a broad range of mission support services.

    Alcatel-Lucent Introduces the New Services Edge, With Terabit Performance on Industry-Leading IP and Carrier Ethernet Router Portfolio

    PARIS, March 27 /PRNewswire/ --

    - Breakthrough Silicon Innovations Enable More Speed, More Services and More Availability

    To help operators around the world meet the demand for higher bandwidth and scale, a richer service mix, reduced cost and increased availability, Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) has today announced extensive enhancements to its industry-leading IP service routing portfolio. Leveraging breakthrough silicon innovations from one of the industry's most experienced R&D teams, the 7750 Service Router (SR) and 7450 Ethernet Service Switch (ESS) now deliver Terabit performance, providing the bandwidth, scale and service awareness required to support the growing market for more personalized, broadband offerings such as IPTV, WebTV, Virtual Private Networks, and 3G/4G mobile.

    The 7750 SR and 7450 ESS enhancements leverage Alcatel-Lucent's unique new FP2 chipset (for network processing and traffic management) - the result of a three-year development effort - which delivers sophisticated and optimized network processing and traffic management at speeds up to 100 Gb/s. The upgrades to the current products include more than double the density of Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports as well as supporting up to 10 times the number of services per router - reducing CAPEX and OPEX as well as being more efficient from a power/bandwidth perspective. The FP2 chipset also provides a clear path to 100 Gigabit Ethernet, vastly improving Return on Investment (ROI) versus other edge routers which currently use much lower performing and lower scale 10 Gb/s Network Processors.

    "Telstra's wireline transformation to implement a common IP core network is delivering multiple services at lower costs and faster speeds with improved network reliability. This enables us to provide our customers with access to more scaleable and advanced broadband services, offering 99.999 per cent reliability," said Greg Winn, Telstra Chief Operations Officer. "Alcatel-Lucent's technology is a part of our Telstra Next IP(TM) network and the latest upgrades will enable Telstra to continue to innovate and grow our broadband service offerings."

    The Terabit enhancements to the Alcatel-Lucent IP/MPLS service routing portfolio address three fundamental service provider requirements for IP network transformation:

    - More speed - delivering Terabit routing and Carrier Ethernet capacity to support new opportunities for mass-market video-based services and applications;

    - More services - including secure IPSec (IP Security) Virtual Private Networks (VPN) as well as Ethernet VPNs and IP VPNs, plus application assurance, leveraging Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology to help drive new service and revenue models;

    - More availability - best-in-class node, link and network high availability, leveraging existing support for non-stop routing, non-stop services and In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU)

    Alcatel-Lucent has shipped more than 20,000 IP/MPLS systems since 2004, resulting in an installed base of more than 200 service provider customers in 90+ countries. The new portfolio enhancements address a Service Provider Router and Metro Ethernet Switch market with a forecasted CAPEX of more than USD 50 billion between 2006 and 2010 (source: Infonetics, August 2007).

    "We've established a solid history of innovation and reliability in IP/MPLS platforms, software and services, which has resulted in new revenue opportunities for our customers," said Basil Alwan, President of Alcatel-Lucent's IP business. "This is a transformative period in our industry and, since 2003, we've led the way with a transformative service-aware and application-aware approach to IP/MPLS routing. With these seamless Terabit service routing upgrades, massive service scaling and integration as well as best-in-class high availability, we're continuing to deliver on this commitment to our customers."

    The following enhancements to the Alcatel-Lucent IP/MPLS service router portfolio will be available in 3Q 2008:

    Next Generation Silicon - Breakthrough 100 Gb/s FP2 chipset 7750 Service Router Platform - Up to 1 Tb/s capacity - 50Gb/s (full-duplex) Input/Output Module3-XP (IOM3-XP) - 20-port Gigabit Ethernet MDA-XP (SFP-Fiber) - 20-Port 10/100/1000 Ethernet MDA-XP (Copper) - 2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet MDA-XP (XFP) - 4-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet MDA-XP (XFP) - Application Assurance Integrated Services Adaptor (AA-ISA) with DPI technology - IPSec Integrated Services Adaptor (IPSec-ISA) 7450 Ethernet Service Switch Platform - Up to 1 Tb/s capacity - 50Gb/s (full-duplex) IOM3-XP - 20-port Gigabit Ethernet MDA-XP (SFP-Fiber) - 20-Port 10/100/1000 Ethernet MDA-XP (Copper) - 2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet MDA-XP (XFP) - 4-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet MDA-XP (XFP) - Application Assurance Integrated Services Adaptor (AA-ISA) with DPI technology

    Alcatel-Lucent IP/MPLS solutions have been selected by more than 200 service providers in more than 90 countries. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Alcatel-Lucent reinforced its #2 position in IP/MPLS edge garnering 18% of the market according to Ovum-RHK.

    PT Media Nusantara Citra Announces Preliminary Results of the Cash Partial Tender Offer for Linktone at $3.80 per American Depositary Share and $0.38 per Ordinary Share

    JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- PT Media Nusantara Citra Tbk ("MNC") and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, MNC International Ltd., today announced the preliminary results of the cash tender offer for up to 6,000,000 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs," each ADS represents 10 ordinary shares) and ordinary shares (treating each ordinary share as 1/10th of an ADS) of Linktone Ltd. ("Linktone") at a price of $3.80 per ADS and $0.38 per ordinary share in cash, subject to any withholding taxes required by law.

    The tender offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Wednesday, March 26, 2008.

    The depositary for the tender offer has advised MNC that, as of the expiration of the tender offer, approximately 15,484,603 ADSs and 11,780 ordinary shares (including 810,643 ADSs that were tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures) were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the tender offer.

    MNC expects MNC International Ltd. to purchase 6,000,000 ADSs of Linktone in the tender offer (treating each ordinary share as 1/10th of an ADS for such calculation). Because the number of ADSs and ordinary shares tendered exceeded the number of ADSs that MNC International Ltd. offered to purchase (treating each ordinary share as 1/10th of an ADS for such calculation), the resulting estimated proration factor is approximately 38.7% of the ADS and ordinary shares tendered.

    Both the number of ADSs and ordinary shares tendered and not withdrawn and the proration factor are preliminary and are subject to verification. The actual number of ADSs and ordinary shares validly tendered and not withdrawn and the final proration factor will be announced promptly following completion of the verification process, which is expected to be completed by April 3, 2008. Promptly after such announcement, the depositary will issue payment (based on the final proration factor and adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional ADSs or ordinary shares) for the ADSs and ordinary shares validly tendered and accepted for payment in the tender offer and will return to tendering holders all ADSs and ordinary shares tendered, but not accepted for payment in the tender offer.

    Pursuant to the acquisition agreement between MNC and Linktone, following the acceptance for payment of the ADSs and ordinary shares in the tender offer, MNC intends to subscribe for 180,000,000 newly issued ordinary shares of Linktone at a purchase price equivalent to the price paid for ADSs and ordinary shares accepted for purchase in the tender offer ($0.38 per ordinary share). MNC intends to complete the subscription for these ordinary shares on April 3, 2008, as soon as practicable following payment for ADSs and ordinary shares validly tendered and accepted for payment in the tender offer. After giving effect to the subscription and the acquisition of ADSs and ordinary shares in the tender offer, MNC will hold approximately 57.1% of Linktone's total outstanding ordinary shares, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. As the indirect holder of approximately 57.1% of Linktone's ordinary shares, MNC will be able to control Linktone.

    About PT Media Nusantara Citra Tbk.

The tender offer was made pursuant to a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (including the Offer to Purchase, as amended and restated, the related Letters of Transmittal and other tender offer materials) filed by MNC and MNC International Ltd. with the SEC on February 6, 2008 and amended on February 28, 2008 and March 5, 2008.

    TechWeb's Internet Evolution Unveils First of a Kind Research Into Peer-to-Peer FiltersLandmark Evaluation Points Up Shortfalls in P2P Market

    NEW YORK, March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TechWeb's Internet Evolution, a Web 2.0 site dedicated to investigating the future of the Internet, today unveiled a landmark research report on peer-to-peer filters (P2P), which outlines the essential functions to ensure the continued expansion of the Internet, and concludes that most of the current generation of filters are ineffective for meeting today's challenges. Produced by EANTC (European Advanced Networking Test Center), the report titled "Peer-to-Peer Filters: Ready for Internet Prime Time?" is available at http://www.internetevolution.com/document.asp?doc_id=148803. Although this was research targeted to the more than two dozen product vendors, including established players and market leaders, only two vendors -- U.S.-based Arbor/Ellacoya and German-based Ipoque -- agreed to release their results publicly.

    P2P filtering products provide two critical functions: They assist ISPs that primarily care about network capacity, and entertainment companies that would like to prevent the exchange of copyrighted content. Both the Arbor/Ellacoya E30 and Ipoque PRX-5G devices showed excellent performance and very good P2P detection and regulation capabilities. However, neither solution achieved perfect detection across the entire range of popular P2P protocols. According to the research, the effective solution will be a new generation of filters that control and reduce the amount of Internet P2P file-sharing traffic.

    "It's quite clear that most vendors are still in an early phase of product deployment and their products have limited scale and functions. Based on the response to the test, both ISPs and the music industry will have to wait awhile before the carrier-class P2P tools that can meet their needs are widely available," said Stephen Saunders, Internet Evolution creator and blogger. "Internet Evolution's objective is to bring awareness to key issues that are guiding the future of the Internet. We will tackle other critical issues through in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the Internet."

    "ISPs often use trial and error methods to determine the efficiency of P2P filters today; our goal was to eliminate uncertainty in this area," said Carsten Rossenhoevel, managing director of EANTC. "We discovered significant disparities between vendors' marketing collateral and what their products are actually capable of. None of the devices we tested were able to satisfy the media industry's demands to block individual copyright infringements. Three vendors vetoed publication because of problems with their results."

    J.D. Power and Associates Reports: Alltel, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon Wireless Each Make a Sound Connection with Wireless Users and Rank Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Call QualityIncidence of Call Quality Problems Varies Widely Due to Differences in Major Network Technologies

    WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Alltel ranks highest in wireless call quality in two regions and ties with T-Mobile to rank highest in a third, while Verizon Wireless leads in two regions and U.S. Cellular ranks highest in one region, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Wireless Call Quality Performance Study(SM)-Volume 1 released today.

    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050527/LAF028LOGO-a)

    The semi-annual study measures wireless call quality based on seven problem areas that impact overall carrier performance: dropped calls; static/interference; failed connection on the first try; voice distortion; echoes; no immediate voice mail notification; and no immediate text message notification. Call quality issues are measured as problems per 100 (PP100) calls, where a lower score reflects fewer problems and higher quality. Study results by region are:

    Northeast Region: Verizon Wireless ranks highest, with fewer customer-reported problems in dropped calls, initial connections and voice distortion compared with the regional average.

    Mid-Atlantic Region: Verizon Wireless ranks highest for a seventh consecutive time, with fewer customer-reported problems regarding interference/static and voice distortion compared with the regional average.

    Southeast Region: Alltel ranks highest in the region, with customers reporting fewer problems than the regional average in dropped calls, initial connections and voice distortion.

    North Central Region: U.S. Cellular ranks highest for a fifth consecutive time, with customers reporting fewer problems in initial connection, dropped calls, static/interference and voice distortion compared with the regional average.

    Southwest Region: Alltel and T-Mobile tie to rank highest in the region. Alltel customers report fewer problems regarding dropped calls, initial connections and voice distortion. T-Mobile customers experience fewer problems with initial disconnect issues compared with the regional average.

    West Region: Alltel ranks highest for the first time in this region, with customers reporting fewer problems in initial connections and static/interference than the regional average.

    The study finds that there is a lower rate of call quality problems with certain technologies used by wireless providers. In particular, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology can potentially lessen the number of call quality problems customers experience. The average number of call quality problems reported by customers using CDMA technology is 14 PP100, while the average is 17 PP100 for wireless customers using Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) networks. Additionally, customers using iDEN network technology report an average of 23 PP100.

    "CDMA technology is generally considered to be more efficient for processing wireless calls, as it requires fewer cell sites to handle call volume compared with other wireless platforms," said Kirk Parsons, senior director of wireless services at J.D. Power and Associates. "Additionally, major service providers that use the CDMA platform, such as Alltel and Verizon Wireless, typically perform better, with fewer initial disconnects, more on-time text messages, and less interference and static. However, while CDMA is certainly advantageous, this technology alone does not necessarily guarantee fewer call quality problems. Locating, operating and managing complex network systems all require expertise from both the service carriers and their supporting network vendors to optimize call quality performance."

    The study also finds that wireless customers who use third-generation (3G) enabled mobile devices that support higher data speeds experience fewer problems than customers who do not use 3G devices.

    "One key benefit to using 3G technology is that carriers can greatly increase the capacity of handling voice and data transmissions with existing network equipment," said Parsons. "For example, problems occur at a 12 percent lower rate when calls are placed or received using a 3G-enabled mobile device compared with calls made or received using earlier-generation devices."

    The 2008 Wireless Call Quality Performance Study-Volume 1 is based on responses from 24,570 wireless users. The results are from the two most recent reporting waves, conducted September through October 2007 and January 2008.

    "We have seen a tremendous amount of support from our staff and customers toward the colorful carriers, as it allows them to take part in a worthy cause," said Kim Lapinski, CEO, First Ohio Community Federal Credit Union, the first Diebold customer to employ the pink product and whose staff dons pink shirts on Fridays to further show support. "We have an excellent relationship with Diebold, and we are proud to be a part of this initiative."

    Additionally, DieboldDirect's "green" campaign will donate one percent of its quarterly, Internet product sales to the Arbor Day Foundation to plant trees in the U.S. and abroad. DieboldDirect is simultaneously reducing the number and size of its paper-based product catalog and uses recycled stock for catalog hardcopies. Furthermore, customers are encouraged to order products online to further reduce the number of trees and recycled paper needed to print catalogs.

    DieboldDirect's use of alcohol-free, soy-based ink in its direct-mail brochures diminishes volatile emissions in the environment. Merchandise is shipped in packaging constructed all or in part using recycled materials, and the print ribbon recycle program saves customers money and reduces the consumption of plastic by re-using the synthetic casings while all paper supplies are offered in recycled alternatives. Additionally, consistent with efforts to evaluate the environmental impact of every product, DieboldDirect is offering a new program to recycle ATM surrounds.

    "We are evaluating all of our products to ensure whenever possible we are offering a recycled alternative," said Pamela G. Barron, director, DieboldDirect. "We've even requested our primary suppliers consider reviewing and implementing environmentally sound business practices. We see these campaigns as a new and better way to conduct business and support relevant social causes."

    BOSTON and HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Iron Mountain Incorporated , the global leader in information protection and storage services, announced today that the Hollywood Arts Council will recognize the Company for its work over the last 50 years to preserve motion pictures, song recordings, TV shows and other priceless cultural artifacts. The Council will bestow its Charlie Award for "Preservation Arts" to members of Iron Mountain's Film & Sound Services at this Saturday night's 30th Anniversary Gala and Annual Awards Presentation to be held at the Jim Henson Company Studios (the historic Charlie Chaplin Studio) in Hollywood, Calif.

    For 22 years, the Hollywood Arts Council Awards have honored individuals and organizations for their significant contributions to Hollywood and its arts community. Dubbed the "Charlies," the awards recognize achievement across several artistic categories, including public art, cinema, entertainment, fashion and theater. This year's winners, which were chosen by the Council's board of trustees, include the likes of the Hollywood Wax Museum and American fashion icon Bob Mackie, who is best known for his imaginative costumes for Cher and The Carol Burnett Show.

    "Iron Mountain is honored to be recognized by the Hollywood Arts Council," said Jeff Anthony, vice president of Film & Sound Services, Iron Mountain. "For us, preserving irreplaceable film and sound masters means more than just providing secure storage; it's about preserving our culture and our history for future generations to appreciate. It's a responsibility our team works hard to uphold, and we love doing it."

    "Iron Mountain's track record of protecting priceless entertainment treasures and cultural artifacts is very much in keeping with our Council's mission to promote the arts and ensure their continued prominence," said Nyla Arslanian, president of the Hollywood Arts Council. "We're pleased to honor the Company with our Charlie Award for art preservation, and we thank Iron Mountain for its continued efforts to support the arts and protect our history."

    Iron Mountain manages more than 15 million film and sound elements for more than 1,500 customers, including major motion picture studios, television production companies, recording studios and advertising agencies. The Company protects these assets in storage facilities located in major entertainment markets, as well as in high-security, state-of-the-art underground facilities. Iron Mountain adheres to stringent archival standards and stays current with industry trends and emerging technologies through active participation in major associations.

    Even as the preservation and storage of entertainment assets evolves from analog to digital formats, Iron Mountain continues to lead the industry in preserving both types of entertainment elements. Iron Mountain recently acquired Xepa Digital, LLP, a leader in the conversion of analog and outmoded digital audio and video tapes to high-resolution digital file formats for archiving and distribution, which furthered its footprint in the film and sound industry.

Net income dropped by 429.8% to a loss of $1,593,000 or $0.28 per share (diluted) as compared to an income of $483,000 or $0.08 per share (diluted) during the same period last year.

    Mr. Anthony So, Bonso's Chairman, President and CEO stated: "Our sensor based product sales were 16.5% down from last year; however, the market demand for our telecommunication products and services remained strong and increased by about 33.6%.

    China Security & Surveillance Technology Announces RMB 800 Million Safe City Project Win

    -- Company's Safe City Project with Jining City is Largest to Date --

    SHENZHEN, China, March 27 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. ("Company") , a leading provider of security solutions in China, today announced that it has won a bid for a Safe City project directly with the government of Jining City. Located in the Shandong province, Jining has a population of approximately 8.1 million people. The Safe City project is expected to cover all of Jining City and includes the installation of security cameras and related equipment, a build out of the city-wide secured network infrastructure which will enable digital images and data to be transmitted over a wide area. It will also include the digitization of an existing information database that will allow for more efficient and effective analysis of data.

    The total project value of this contract is approximately RMB 800 million (approximately USD$114 million, based on a conversion price of USD: RMB 1.00:7.03). As part of this agreement, CSR will sub-contract the build out of the telecom infrastructure to a licensed telecom provider of its choosing. This is the biggest Safe City project ever won by CSR to date. The Company expects to begin realizing revenue from this agreement in 2008 with the majority of the revenues expected to be recognized in 2009. After the implementation of this contract, CSR will also have a right to provide security related services under a separate contract from the one announced today. In addition, as part of the project, CSR will have rights to place advertising banners on the surveillance camera poles deployed throughout the city. This will enable CSR to enjoy additional revenues.

    Mr. Guo Shen Tu, Chief Executive Officer of China Security, commented, "This is a great win for CSR. Our recent Safe City project wins, including this project with Jining City highlights the continued success of our consolidation strategy and serves as further proof that we have assembled a total solutions offering that is unmatched by our competition. Our Safe City projects are becoming more comprehensive and as one of the few total solution providers in China, we are becoming more successful negotiating a larger segment of the business than ever before. Scale is highly important in the China market. The consolidation strategy that we have adopted over the past few years is beginning to show results. For this project, we were successful getting the local city government to award CSR this project in one large phase instead of smaller phases -- the Jining City government has formally agreed to award us with subsequent services work such as data management and back-end operating services before we have commenced initial work on this project. We are also allowed the right to provide operating security related services under a separate contract at a later date. As the leading one-stop-shop security solutions provider in China, we continue to see strong momentum in our business and look forward to record growth for our business in 2008."

    OmniVision Offers True High-Definition Video With Unrivaled Low Light Performance for Security CamerasNew OV9710 High Sensitivity Image Sensor Enables True HD Security Cameras for All Lighting Conditions

    SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. , the world's largest supplier of CMOS image sensors, today announced details of its first, true high-definition (HD) image sensor optimized for use in indoor and outdoor applications for the security and surveillance markets. The OV9710, which will be showcased at the ISC West show in Las Vegas next week, is a high performance, low-power, 1-megapixel CMOS image sensor that offers high-quality HD (720p or 800p) video performance at 30 frames per second (fps).

    "What truly sets the OV9710 apart from competing solutions is that it incorporates OmniVision's proprietary OmniPixel3-HS(TM) technology in a 3x3 micron pixel to enable best-in-class low light performance," said Bruce Weyer, OmniVision's Vice President of Marketing, commenting on the position of the OV9710 in the security and surveillance market. "With a low light sensitivity of 3300mV per Lux-second, the OV9710 enables security cameras to operate in virtually every lighting condition-from bright daylight to nearly complete darkness. As a result, it is ideally suited for next generation HD security and surveillance video applications."

    "High definition video offers the security market exceptionally detailed evidence and opens the possibility of highly capable recognition algorithms," Weyer continued. "In moving to HD security solutions it is critical to perform under low-light conditions. Having an HD camera solution available that offers such exceptional low light sensitivity puts OmniVision in a strong position in the high performance security camera space."

    The OV9710 is a 1/4-inch HD CameraChip sensor providing full-frame, sub- sampled or windowed 8-bit/10-bit images in raw RGB format via the digital video port. The sensor delivers full-frame HD 720p (1280 x 720) at 30 fps or 800p (1280 x 800) at 30 fps with complete user control over image quality, formatting and output data transfer. The OV9710 incorporates image processing functions, including: exposure control, gain control, white balance, lens correction, and pixel correction. These functions are also programmable through the serial camera control bus (SCCB) interface.

    The OV9710 comes in a variety of lead-free packaging options, and is capable of operating within a temperature range of -30 to +70 degrees C. It is currently available in sample quantities, and the company expects to begin volume shipments in June 2008.

    AT&T Offers More Music Choices and Customization to Mobile Music LoversWireless Leader Becomes First Carrier to Offer Customized Ringtones From Major and Independent Labels on Your Phone; Customers Can Now Wirelessly Transfer and Listen to Music From Their PC to Their Mobile DeviceAT&T To Extend Napster Mobile to More Than 12 Million Customers Beginning This Summer

    SAN ANTONIO, March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The ever-growing world of mobile music just got bigger. AT&T Inc. announced today the immediate availability of two new music applications -- mSpot's Make-UR-Tones and Remix -- and plans to significantly expand offerings for Napster Mobile(TM) over-the-air downloads. Make-UR-Tones allows customers to customize ringtones by using their mobile phone, and the Remix application gives customers access to their PC-based music collections directly from their phone. The result for mobile music lovers is more freedom to listen to the songs they want, when they want, on their AT&T mobile phone.

    "Music is one of the most personal forms of self-expression," said Mark Collins, vice president of Consumer Data for AT&T's wireless unit. "We want to empower our customers to use music however they wish on their mobile phones. We're constantly looking for new opportunities to meet the wireless needs and wants of our customers. We are pleased to offer our customers more choices and flexibility in how they experience music on the go."

    mSpot Make-UR-Tones

    With today's launch of mSpot Make-UR-Tones, AT&T -- the exclusive provider of the application -- becomes the first national carrier to allow customers to easily use their wireless phone to create a ringtone from their favorite part of a song. The Make-UR-Tones application is designed to give users the flexibility to customize a one- to 30-second ringtone from a full song. AT&T's Make-UR-Tones subscribers can enjoy exclusive access to more than 250,000 titles from music labels EMI Music, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, INgrooves and IRIS.

    "We are thrilled to work with AT&T to harness the power of the mobile platform to further enrich the musical experience for consumers," said Amanda Marks, executive vice president and general manager of Digital, Universal Music Group Distribution. "Universal is committed to embracing technologies that are transforming the media landscape, and dynamic and compelling new personalization products, such as those from AT&T, allow us to creatively empower fans while respecting the rights of music creators."

    "mSpot's collaboration with AT&T and music labels enable us to offer AT&T mobile customers access to the largest ringtone catalog in North America," said Daren Tsui, CEO of mSpot. "Make-UR-Tones and other mSpot services bring personalized, seamless music experiences to the mobile phone."

    To use the application, AT&T customers simply download mSpot's Make-UR-Tones from the AT&T MEdia Mall on their mobile phone, use the advanced search engine to select a song and then cut the part of the song they want to customize as their ringtone, up to 30 seconds, by using the application's easy-to-use waveform editor. Make-UR-Tones lets users listen to the song while it's being edited and preview the ringtone before downloading a copy to their phones.

    The mSpot Make-UR-Tones is available for a monthly subscription of $6.99 for three ringtones. Additional customized ringtones can be purchased on an a la carte basis for $2.99. Make-UR-Tones is currently available for download on the Samsung SYNC, Samsung A737, Samsung A747 and the Motorola V3xx and will expand to additional phones in the near future.

    mSpot Remix

    AT&T is now offering a music-on-demand application for customers who want the ability to access and enjoy their PC-based music libraries from their mobile phone. Available today, mSpot Remix is the newest music application from AT&T Mobile Music and is available from AT&T MEdia Mall.

    The mSpot Remix mobile player connects with a PC over the AT&T network, providing access to stored songs and playlists. When a customer hits Play from the mSpot Remix mobile player, Remix immediately starts playing the song from the PC while downloading the entire track in the background. Remix then saves the song to the phone's memory card, so the customer has access to the song even when not connected to the network.

    The mSpot Remix service is available for a monthly subscription of $9.99, which allows users to download 75 songs a month. AT&T also will offer a Remix booster pack for $2.99, which provides an additional 10 songs. Remix is compatible with the Samsung SYNC, the Samsung A737 and the LG SHINE.

    For more information on mSpot Make-UR-Tones or Remix, visit http://www.att.com/mediamall. To see a demo of either application while at CTIA Wireless 2008, visit the AT&T booth -- number 3428.

    Napster Mobile Coming to More AT&T Phones

    Beginning this summer, more AT&T customers will be able to search a catalog of more than 5 million songs from their AT&T wireless phone, preview 30-second samples before they buy and download music directly to their phone while on the go, all with Napster Mobile. AT&T first announced Napster Mobile in November of last year with the launch of the SLM by Samsung. The company plans to expand the industry's leading mobile music platform by making the service available to more than 12 million customers, beginning this summer. In addition to browsing and downloading music to their phone, AT&T customers will receive a copy of each song downloaded online from Napster(R).

    "Napster and our mobile partner, Ericsson, are excited to expand the Napster Mobile customer base with AT&T," said Brad Duea, president of Napster. "We look forward to furthering our partnership with AT&T and to bringing the best mobile music experience on the market to millions of AT&T customers."

    AT&T offers more choices for mobile music than any other U.S. carrier and was the first carrier in the nation to provide the Napster To Go subscription music service, as well as DRM-free instant track deliveries to eMusic.

    Comcast and BitTorrent Form Collaboration to Address Network Management, Network Architecture and Content Distribution

    PHILADELPHIA and SAN FRANCISCO, March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast Corporation and BitTorrent, Inc. announced today that they will undertake a collaborative effort with one another and with the broader Internet and ISP community to more effectively address issues associated with rich media content and network capacity management. While BitTorrent and Comcast are talking directly, they are also in discussions with other parties to help facilitate a broader dialogue and cooperation across industries.

    The Comcast and BitTorrent discussions have already produced meaningful results. On the one hand, Comcast announced that it will migrate by year-end 2008 to a capacity management technique that is protocol agnostic. "This means that we will have to rapidly reconfigure our network management systems, but the outcome will be a traffic management technique that is more appropriate for today's emerging Internet trends. We have been discussing this migration and its effects with leaders in the Internet community for the last several months, and we will refine, adjust, and publish the technique based upon feedback and initial trial results," said Tony Werner, Comcast Cable's Chief Technology Officer.

    In turn, BitTorrent acknowledged the need of ISPs to manage their networks, especially during times of peak congestion. "While we think there were other management techniques that could have been deployed, we understand why Comcast and other ISPs adopted the approach that they did initially. Recognizing that the Web is richer and more bandwidth intensive than it has been historically, we are pleased that Comcast understands these changing traffic patterns and wants to collaborate with us to migrate to techniques that the Internet community will find to be more transparent," said Eric Klinker, BitTorrent's Chief Technology Officer.

    "Earlier this year, Comcast announced its plans for the aggressive deployment of wideband Internet services using the DOCSIS 3.0 standard, which we project will be available in up to 20% of Comcast's households by the end of this year," said John Schanz, Comcast Cable's Executive Vice President of National Engineering and Technical Operations. "Additionally, we plan to more than double the upstream capacity of our residential Internet service in several key markets by year end 2008. We plan to take advantage of multi- carrier technology to further increase upstream capacity for all of our broadband customers in advance of the full DOCSIS 3.0 roll out."

    BitTorrent and Comcast have also agreed to work with other ISPs, other technology companies, and the Internet Engineering Task Force, to explore and develop a new distribution architecture for the efficient delivery of rich media content. "In the spirit of openness and fostering innovative solutions, BitTorrent will take the first step in enhancing our client applications to optimize them for a new broadband network architecture. Furthermore, we will publish these optimizations in open forums and standard bodies for all application developers to benefit from," said Ashwin Navin, co-founder and president of BitTorrent, Inc.

    "This new architecture would enable many new and emerging applications and will be based upon an open, non-discriminatory framework that could interface with or support multiple technologies. We believe that P2P technology has matured as an enabler for legal content distribution, so we need to have an architecture that can support it with techniques that work over all networks," said Werner.

    Both BitTorrent and Comcast expressed the view that these technical issues can be worked out through private business discussions without the need for government intervention.

    "BitTorrent and Comcast can serve consumers best by working together along with the broader ISP and Internet community to jointly develop more efficient networks and applications. This should prove to be a productive partnership that will provide consumers with a better Internet experience," said Doug Walker, CEO of BitTorrent.

    "We appreciate the recent dialogue that we have had with BitTorrent and the progress that we have made in addressing our respective concerns. Working together, we can deliver a truly superior experience to all of our customers," said Steve Burke, President of Comcast Cable.

    MicroStrategy Rated #1 in Customer Loyalty, According to The BI Survey 7For Fourth Consecutive Year, MicroStrategy Customers Most Loyal

    MCLEAN, Va., March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MicroStrategy(R) Incorporated , a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence software, today announced that in a comprehensive survey of companies using business intelligence (BI) software products, those using MicroStrategy are the most loyal. MicroStrategy had the highest customer loyalty of any BI vendor in The BI Survey for the fourth year in a row and an increase over the previous year.

    Customer loyalty is an indication of how satisfied a customer is with a vendor's products and services and is a crucial factor in vendor success. According to The BI Survey 7, a loyal customer is one that continues to use existing applications, purchases additional software to deploy existing applications more widely, uses the product in preference to others when implementing new applications, and favors the product if there is ever a requirement to reduce the number of BI suppliers.

    The BI Survey is conducted annually by industry analyst Nigel Pendse and this year by BARC, The Business Application Research Center. The BI Survey is the most comprehensive independent survey of the BI market space and products. The BI Survey 7 compiled the real-world BI experiences of nearly 2,000 respondents across 60 countries.

    Comparing a peer group of BI products reviewed in The BI Survey 7, the customer loyalty scores were as follows:

    Overall Customer Loyalty Score MicroStrategy .846 Cognos Reporting .725 Cognos Analysis .653 BusinessObjects .641 SAP BW .641 Oracle Hyperion Essbase .565

    "It is a remarkable achievement that MicroStrategy was rated number one in customer loyalty for the fourth year in a row," said Nigel Pendse, author of The BI Survey 7. "As in the past, the Survey found that well-known vendors with growth strategies based on acquisitions covering the entire BI spectrum have low, and in some cases declining, customer loyalty. MicroStrategy, with its single product architecture and organic growth, was at the top once again. The fact that no other product has achieved such high levels of consistency suggests that MicroStrategy's customers are extremely loyal and see no alternative to the product."

    In the four years it has used its current methodology to calculate loyalty scores, The BI Survey has found that its customer loyalty score is a strong predictor of future product success or, in the case of some products, product failure. Specifically, long-established Oracle BI products, such as Oracle Discoverer, Oracle Express, and the Oracle OLAP Option, have had low and declining loyalty scores in the previous three years, to the point where they have so few active users remaining that the Survey could not find enough of them to analyze their success. "We were quite surprised at the low loyalty scores achieved by some well-known products when we first started calculating it in this way, but it is interesting that the sample sizes of such products subsequently fell sharply, so this score has turned out to be a good predictor of success and failure in the BI market," said Nigel Pendse.

    "We are delighted that MicroStrategy's customer loyalty rating continues to increase and that it remains at the top of all BI vendors in The BI Survey," said Sanju Bansal, MicroStrategy's COO. "The loyalty of our customers is a testament to the high quality of our software and the business value that it provides. Customers today are cautious about IT investments and become loyal only after they have successfully used the technology and received tangible benefits."

    MicroStrategy will host a one-hour Webcast, "Selecting BI Technology for Enterprise Success - Lessons Learned from over 1,800 Companies' Experiences," on April 24, 2008, featuring Nigel Pendse and findings from The BI Survey 7.

    All three new retail CNG filling stations have all of the government permits they need to operate, and are selling CNG for use in CNG powered vehicles. The retail CNG filling stations are located in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Two of the three retail CNG filling stations are located on Jiangdi Zhonglu Street, and the third is located on Yejin Dadao Street. The Company has now opened a total of six retail CNG filling stations in Central and East China.

    Sinoenergy's standard retail CNG filling station has four filling outlets, and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Targeted sales for a standard CNG filling station, set by the Company and used in its business planning, are 10,000 cubic meters per day (equal to 353,147 cu.ft.). The designed maximum physical capacity of a standard CNG filling station is about 18,000 cubic meters per day (equal to 635,665 cu.ft.).

The city has 6,300 buses and 20,000 taxis, and about 7,000 CNG-burning vehicles.

Sinoenergy plans to develop and open for business a number of retail CNG filling stations in Wuhan throughout 2008.

    "We are very pleased to have these stations open and operating in Wuhan," said Mr. Bo Huang, CEO of Sinoenergy Corporation.
