Verizon Business Helps Companies Better Manage Security NeedsEnhancements to Security Management Program Provide Rigorous Assessment, Help Facilitate Security Compliance Efforts

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Business customers now can get an even better handle on the effectiveness of their security programs.

At the Gartner IT Security Summit here Wednesday (June 4), Verizon Business announced significant enhancements to its already robust Security Management Program (SMP). These include incorporation of the ISO 27002 Code of Practice for Information Security Management as the basis for evaluating customer security programs and the launch of a new at-a-glance Web-based dashboard that enables organizations to immediately assess the status of their compliance efforts across an expanded set of standards.

The internationally recognized and publicly vetted ISO 27002 information security standard includes 133 security controls used to safeguard the integrity, confidentiality and availability of critical company data. The Security Management Program had previously evaluated customer security controls primarily against best practices determined by Verizon Business.

"Incorporating the ISO 27002 standard into our Security Management Program significantly raises the bar for an already prestigious and rigorous program," said Kerry Bailey, vice president of Verizon Business Security Solutions. "Embracing this key standard will enable our customers to even better manage risk and complement their compliance efforts - a critical concern for security executives around the globe."

With ISO 27002 as the basis of SMP assessment activities, businesses will be in a better position to demonstrate support to third-party auditors and other external parties such as partners and vendors. The highly advanced dashboard also can assist customers in providing auditors with measurable results using the program's detailed findings and trend-analysis features.

This version of SMP is available immediately to customers in the United States, as well as in many countries in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

New Dashboard Offers Convenience, At-A-Glance Scorecard

Verizon Business' newly enhanced dashboard uses a comprehensive scorecard to provide a holistic view of how a customer's security controls align with the requirements of multiple regulations such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), as well as security standards specific to a customer's industry.

As a result, customers can conveniently view all of the relevant security compliance initiatives from a single view versus searching through multiple views for information on other security standards or different locations. The dashboard also enables customers to leverage similar security compliance activities across multiple standards to reduce duplication of compliance efforts.

Verizon Business is also expanding its support for additional industry standards and regulations, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) 1.1, COBIT 4.1, BITS AUP 3.0, North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC).

SMP Offers Active Approach to Information Security

The Verizon Business Security Management Program takes an active approach to mitigating risk by reviewing customer information security measures across a broad range of security needs, from network and system analysis to security policy inspection. Customers can pursue the prestigious Cybertrust Perimeter and Enterprise Certifications, which demonstrate a strong commitment to information security by providing assurance that an organization's information security controls, policies and procedures have been examined, measured and validated against a stringent set of SMP control standards. The certification must be either maintained or renewed annually by customers. Of the more than 1,000 businesses and government agencies whose information security measures have been reviewed under the program, only about half earn the certification.

Verizon Business Security Solutions Powered by Cybertrust

Enterprises and government agencies rely on Verizon Business to help them manage security risk and protect critical company assets. Verizon Business Security Solutions, a leading global provider of managed security services, offers a comprehensive portfolio of security services that include governance risk and compliance solutions, data loss and prevention solutions, identity management solutions and managed security services.

UCN Exceeds First Quarter SaaS ContractsNumber of Mid-Quarter Closed Deals Represent Notable Wins with Enterprise Companies, Outsourcers and Multi-Site Organizations

SALT LAKE CITY, June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- UCN, Inc. , innovator of all-in-one, on-demand contact center software for intelligent contact routing and agent improvement, today announced it has exceeded the number of first quarter contracts with more than 16 new contracts signed between April 1 and May 16, 2008.

Of these new contracts, two are related to outsourcers. Outsourcers are firms providing contact handling, customer service, sales, and support on behalf of individual companies. One outsourcer employs more than 300 at-home agents. The second outsourcer is one of America's top 50 contact centers with customers that span a variety of industries supporting media, leading retailers and automotive manufacturers. This outsourcer created a self-service Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) program for their customer using inContact(R) Interactive Voice Response (IVR) with English and Spanish language support. This customer also separately signed a $15,000 monthly minimum contract with UCN related to the support of a globally distributed magazine.

UCN has won three contracts with noteworthy enterprise-level companies with its inContact Echo(R) product. The first contract is for a leading auto club with more than 3,000 employees. It has begun to use Echo to collect recorded customer feedback and survey data, which it sends to supervisors and the respective agents. Another new enterprise-level Echo contract is for a NASDAQ-listed, multi-channel outsourcing solution provider for online retail and global manufacturers. The third contract is for a worldwide manufacturer of innovative, high quality equipment for the healthcare industry.

UCN is also winning contracts with customers managing multi-site locations. One new enterprise-level customer is a multinational retailer with more than 56,000 employees and 300 stores. The organization has more than 150 stores with on-site pharmacies, and uses inContact to route prescription orders to pharmacy techs and licensed pharmacists in the call center. This new routing capability will reduce call volume to individual pharmacy locations and allow a return to more personalized, old fashioned service for walk-in customers.

"The two outsourcers are well regarded and influential players in their space. Each can represent dozens of end customers," said UCN CEO Paul Jarman. "The above reference of a multi-site customer plays to a key strength of inContact."

Three of the new contracts are for the inContact Hiring(TM) product that was launched at the beginning of the year. One existing inContact customer, a subsidiary of a Fortune 500, NYSE company, has added inContact Hiring to assist with its ongoing staffing requirements. This organization provides prescription benefits to more than eight million individuals through a retail network of more than 50,000 pharmacies and a state-of-the-art mail order pharmacy.

"These new contracts are now in the process of being implemented and the majority of the revenue will be realized in future quarters," added Jarman.

About UCN

UCN, Inc. is an innovator of software as a service (SaaS) applications for multi-site contact centers and distributed workforces. The UCN inContact(R) platform intelligently routes multi-media contacts to agents anywhere while improving management visibility, agent productivity and agent retention. UCN's patented software includes an enterprise-grade ACD with skills-based routing, IVR, speech recognition and CTI. Agent performance optimization features include customer experience surveys and agent scoring analysis, call monitoring, call recording, workforce scheduling and forecasting, hiring tools to reduce attrition, and targeted training delivered to the agent desktop.

VimpelCom Announces First Quarter 2008 Financial and Operating Results

MOSCOW and NEW YORK, June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Open Joint Stock Company "Vimpel-Communications" ("VimpelCom" or the "Company") , a leading provider of telecommunications services in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Financial and Operating Highlights -- Net operating revenues reached $2,108 million, an increase of 41.7% versus 1Q2007. -- OIBDA reached $1,126 million, an increase of 47.0% versus 1Q2007. -- OIBDA margin was 53.4%, including 55.2% in Russia and 50.4% in Kazakhstan. -- Net income totaled $601 million, an increase of 117.0% versus 1Q2007. -- Active mobile subscribers increased by 6.5 million versus 1Q2007, reaching 52.3 million. -- Acquisition of Golden Telecom was completed on February 28, 2008. -- The Board of Directors proposed a dividend of $0.58* per ADS, an increase of 81% compared to the previous year.

Commenting on today's announcement, Alexander Izosimov, Chief Executive Officer of VimpelCom, said, "The first quarter of 2008 should be viewed as the beginning of a new era for VimpelCom. Completion of the Golden Telecom acquisition has opened an entirely new set of growth opportunities which, when realized, should further strengthen our position in the Russian telecom sector.

"Meanwhile our mobile business continues to show strong financial results. We are growing revenues and OIBDA in virtually all of our markets, in spite of the negative impact of economic problems in Central Asia, particularly in Kazakhstan.

"With an OIBDA margin above 50% and a revenue growth rate above 40%, VimpelCom remains a rare example of a large, fast growing and highly profitable business. The underlying strength of our core business coupled with new opportunities of being an integrated player should provide a robust platform for our future growth ambitions."

* On April 16, 2008, VimpelCom's Board of Directors recommended a dividend of 270.01 rubles per ordinary share. Last year's dividends were approved at 166.88 rubles per ordinary share. Dividend per ADS was calculated only for information purposes given Russian Central Bank exchange rate and the ratio of ADS to ordinary shares on the date of the respective Board recommendations. The actual amount in US$ to be paid to the ADS- holders in case of the AGM approval will depend on the exchange rate around the payment date and any required withholding tax. Changes in Definitions and Reported Data

Beginning with this quarterly report, we have made significant changes in the reporting structure in order to reflect the integration with Golden Telecom, which we began to consolidate into VimpelCom's accounts starting from March 1, 2008.

Adjusting to the new complexity of the business we now consolidate our revenues along four segments: two geographic segments (Russia and the CIS) and two business segments (Mobile and Fixed). Fixed-line operations in Armenia (representing $36.2 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2008) are now reflected within the CIS fixed-line segment, while the results of Golden Telecom's mobile operations in Ukraine (representing $0.5 million of revenue in March 2008) are now part of the mobile business segment in the CIS.

Due to the increasing integration between different parts of our business, we include inter-company transactions in the reported revenues of geographic and business segments, and indicate the amount of inter-company eliminations within and between the segments.

We discontinued providing registered subscriber base numbers, completely shifting to active base. We have also aligned our churn rate reporting to the three month active subscriber base, which we believe is the most meaningful way of reporting. Consequently, this shift caused a step-change in our reported subscriber market share.

Within sales, general and administrative costs (SG&A) we now provide an explicit breakdown between general and administrative costs (G&A) and sales and marketing costs (S&M). As sales and marketing costs include all of the relevant costs of subscriber acquisition, retention and usage stimulation, we believe these measures provide more accurate information than subscriber acquisition costs. Previously part of our S&M costs was shown in G&A.

A country-by-country CAPEX breakdown can be found in Attachment D.

Our Russian operations continue to show year-on-year revenue growth over 40% with a record-high OIBDA margin. In the first quarter our OIBDA in the Russian mobile segment reached $959 million. This includes a $43 million reversal of our stock-price based compensation plans accruals, resulting mainly from the decline in VimpelCom's ADS price in the first quarter of 2008. However, even excluding this effect, the OIBDA margin of the Russian mobile segment stayed close to 55%.

With the acquisition of Golden Telecom, a cornerstone of our integrated operator strategy, we assumed substantial debt and absorbed a lower-margin business. The acquisition dictated a more conservative approach to the Russian mobile market aimed at preserving our margins and maximizing cash-flow by restricting marketing expenses and maintaining stable pricing.

Reduced marketing activities in a seasonally weak quarter resulted in a slight decline in ARPU, and, as a result, in mobile revenues compared to the previous quarter. Evidently, the decline in mobile revenue was more than offset by the addition of fixed-line revenue for March.

Golden Telecom's revenue in Russia for the entire first quarter was approximately 61% higher than a year ago, driven by very good development in all business lines.

Now that the Golden Telecom transaction and the initial part of the integration are behind us, we plan to step up marketing activities in order to protect our revenue market share on the Russian mobile market.

The growth in our net income was disproportionately higher than the growth in our OIBDA, primarily due to a foreign exchange gain of $185 million. This foreign exchange gain resulted mainly from the revaluation of our U.S. dollar- denominated loans.

Starting from January 1, 2008 VimpelCom's subscriber market share is being reported solely on the basis of active subscribers, while previously it was based on registered subscribers. The drop in the reported market share in the first quarter is mainly caused by the change of reporting methodology.

Our operations in the CIS countries continue to demonstrate strong financial performance, with revenue growth of more than 50% and OIBDA margin over 40%. The main growth contributors are Kazakhstan and Ukraine, which now includes the Ukrainian business of Golden Telecom. We are also pleased with the growth in Uzbekistan, signs of improvements in Armenia, and continued strong growth in our smaller markets.

However, our business dynamics were affected by economic problems in the Central Asian republics. In Kazakhstan, our largest market, the economy suffered from a liquidity crisis, while Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were seriously impacted by extremely cold weather and power outages.

In Armenia we started to see positive trends and an increase in the number of active subscribers. We introduced our Beeline brand on the local market and accelerated our marketing activities. Our focus will remain on building market share and expanding fixed-mobile convergence opportunities.

Net income losses in the first quarter were caused mainly by one-off factors, such as a $16 million write-off of equipment in Armenia in the course of modernizing the network.

Recent Developments

On May 27, 2008, VimpelCom received the preliminary conclusion of the Russian Tax Inspectorate's review of VimpelCom's tax filings for the 2005 and 2006 financial years. According to this document, VimpelCom owes approximately $54 million in additional taxes (excluding fines and penalties) for the respective years. Most of the claims are similar to the claims we received for previous financial years, and in the past we have been able to successfully reverse most of these claims in the Russian courts. On June 3, 2008, we submitted our preliminary objections to the Tax Inspectorate. We expect to receive a final tax claim in the near future and to appeal the final tax claim in the Russian courts to the extent that it is not reduced by our objections. We have not made any reserves for these tax claims, because we believe that the claims will ultimately be resolved in our favor.

The Company's management will discuss its first quarter results during a conference call and slide presentation on June 4, 2008 at 6:30 pm Moscow time (10:30 am ET in New York). The call and slide presentation may be accessed via webcast at the following URL address http://www.vimpelcom.com/. The conference call replay will be available through June 13, 2008. The slide presentation webcast will also be available for download on VimpelCom's website http://www.vimpelcom.com/.

This press release contains "forward-looking statements", as the phrase is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements relate to the Company's strategic and development plans, including network development plans, developments in the telecommunications markets in which the Company operates, and the resolution of the tax claim for the financial years 2005 and 2006. These and other forward-looking statements are based on management's best assessment of the Company's strategic and financial position and of future market conditions and trends. These discussions involve risks and uncertainties. The actual outcome may differ materially from these statements as a result of unforeseen developments from competition, governmental regulation of the telecommunications industries in Russia and the CIS, general political uncertainties in Russia and the CIS and general economic developments in Russia and the CIS, continued volatility in the world economy, challenges to 3G and Far East tenders and/or litigation with third parties. The actual outcome may also differ materially if the Company is unable to obtain all necessary corporate approvals relating to its business (including approval of funding and specific transactions), if the Company is unable to successfully integrate newly-acquired businesses, including Golden Telecom, and other factors. As a result of such risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the effects of competition or current or future changes in the political, economic and social environment or current or future regulation of the Russian and CIS telecommunications industries will not have a material adverse effect on the VimpelCom Group. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include the risks described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2007 and other public filings made by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference. VimpelCom disclaims any obligation to update developments of these risk factors or to announce publicly any revision to any of the forward- looking statements contained in this release, or to make corrections to reflect future events or developments.

-Definitions and tables are attached - Attachment A: Definitions

Active mobile subscribers are those subscribers in the registered subscriber base who were a party to a revenue generating activity in the past three months and remain in the base at the end of the reported period. Such activities include all incoming and outgoing calls, subscriber fee accruals, debits related to service, outgoing SMS, MMS, data transmission and receipt sessions, but do not include incoming SMS and MMS sent by our Company or abandoned calls.

Each ADS represents 0.05 of one share of common stock. This ratio was established effective August 21, 2007.

ARPU (Monthly Average Revenue per User), a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing the Company's service revenue during the relevant period, including roaming revenue and interconnect revenue, but excluding revenue from connection fees, sales of handsets and accessories and other non-service revenue, by the average number of the Company's active subscribers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period. Reconciliation of ARPU to service revenues and connection fees, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented below in the tables section. The Company believes that ARPU provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the performance of the Company's business operations and assists management in budgeting. The Company also believes that ARPU provides management with useful information concerning usage and acceptance of the Company's services. ARPU should not be viewed in isolation or an alternative to other figures reported under U.S. GAAP.

Broadband internet service subscribers are those subscribers in the registered subscriber base who were a party to a revenue generating activity in the past three months and remained in the base at the end of the reported period. Such activities include monthly internet access using FTTB, xDSL and WiFi technologies.

CIS Geographic Segment for the purpose of VimpelCom reporting includes our operations in the following countries: Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Georgia.

Fixed-line subscriber is an authorized user of fixed-line communications services.

General and administrative costs (G&A) include salaries and outsourcing costs, including related social contributions required by Russian law; stock price-based compensation expenses; repair and maintenance expenses; rent, including lease payments for base station sites; utilities; other miscellaneous expenses, such as insurance, operating taxes, license fees, and accounting, audit and legal fees.

Market share of subscribers for each relevant area is calculated by dividing the estimated number of our subscribers in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Armenia, respectively, by the total estimated number of subscribers in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Armenia, respectively and is provided by AC&M-Consulting.

Mobile services are wireless voice and data transmission services excluding WiFi.

MOU (Monthly Average Minutes of Use per User) is calculated by dividing the total number of minutes of usage for incoming and outgoing calls during the relevant period (excluding guest roamers) by the average number of active subscribers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period.

OIBDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. OIBDA, previously referred to as EBITDA by the Company, is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that OIBDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our business operations, including our ability to finance capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments and our ability to incur and service debt. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under U.S. GAAP, these expenses primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Our OIBDA calculations are commonly used as bases for some investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of companies within the wireless telecommunications industry. OIBDA should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other measure of performance under U.S. GAAP. OIBDA does not include our need to replace our capital equipment over time. Reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented below in the reconciliation tables section.

OIBDA margin is OIBDA expressed as a percentage of total net operating revenues. Reconciliation of OIBDA margin to operating income as a percentage of total net operating revenues, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented below in the reconciliation tables section.

Service Provider Survey: Improving Time to Market is Important - But Only If New Services Deliver Better Customer ExperienceSurvey demonstrates that improved operational practices are critical to support faster time to market

ST. LOUIS, June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A global survey of service providers in the wireless, wireline and cable markets found that service providers acknowledge that rapid time to market for new services is critical to delivering a more competitive customer experience. But the survey, which was sponsored by Amdocs , the leading provider of customer experience systems, also revealed that service providers place even more emphasis on safeguarding service fulfillment and controlling the cost of service delivery to end users. 90 percent of survey respondents indicated that getting the service right -- in other words, ensuring a positive customer experience - is as important as delivering it quickly.

While two-thirds of respondents expect to improve profit margins through faster time to market and 75 percent confirm that faster time to market will reduce customer churn -- more than 90 percent recognize that decreasing time to market requires investment in OSS (Operations Support Systems) to address the challenges of legacy-based systems and processes. In particular, respondents cited automation (85 percent), common tools and processes (81 percent) and data integrity (79 percent) as critical areas for future investment.

"Time to market is important -- but not at any cost -- and certainly not at any risk to the customer experience," said Charles Born, vice president of corporate communications at Amdocs. "To overcome the challenges, mitigate the risks and deliver the required customer experience, the survey demonstrates that service providers recognize the need to address operational challenges and constraints by investing in BSS/OSS integration, standardization and automation of key processes, and improved data integrity."

Other findings include: -- The most important differentiators are those that impact customer experience: 98 percent of respondents said quality of service is a critical factor in determining customer satisfaction and retention. Other critical factors include time to deliver service (91 percent), which is the time between when a customer places an order and when it is filled; customer experience (91 percent), and cost of service (83 percent). Whilst time to market is not the most critical differentiator, 93 percent of respondents recognize its importance in delivering a competitive customer experience. -- A gap exists between aspiration and reality: The target time to market for service providers is three to six months; however, less than one- third of respondents can introduce new products in less than three months; and only one-third of respondents have seen a decrease in time to market for introducing new services. While service providers aspire to introduce services quickly, they cited that challenges and constraints in achieving rapid time to market include the complexity of the technology environment, time to develop systems and processes, OSS/BSS integration and lack of standardization. -- Time to market impacts the bottom line: The survey shows that nearly one quarter of respondents launch new products late to market and more than half expect the number of new products to increase. Delays result in missed revenue opportunities and sub-standard customer experiences, which negatively affect customer retention. Cost to market has to be contained, even as time to market is reduced.

Conducted in February 2008, the survey featured more than 120 interviews with CIOs, COOs, directors of OSS, and product managers of leading wireline, wireless and cable providers from Europe, Asia Pacific, North and South America, the Far East and Middle East. Coleman Parkes Research, an independent firm based in London, conducted the survey. Complete survey findings can be found at: http://www.amdocs.com/.

Beginning with tonight's Eric Clapton concert, the outdoor amphitheater will be called the Comcast Center, with newly created signage that reflects the facility's unique wooded setting.

The Comcast Center, owned by Live Nation, can accommodate 19,900 people and hosts approximately 35-40 concerts per year. Some of the well-known acts on this summer's lineup include Tim McGraw, John Mayer, Jimmy Buffet, the Dave Matthews Band and The Police.

"We are very pleased to welcome Comcast to the Live Nation family and are looking forward to both an exciting summer and a successful, long-term partnership," said Don Law, President of Live Nation New England.

With more than 7,000 employees in New England, including over 4,600 in Massachusetts, Comcast has made significant investments in the state since arriving in 2003. The company has introduced the latest advanced broadband services over its fiber-optic network over the last five years, including High Definition Television, On Demand, Digital Video Recorders and Digital Voice services. Additionally, Comcast now operates five call centers in the Bay State, opening two new state-of-the-art facilities in Plymouth and Waltham just last year as part of its commitment to its local customers. The company is also proud of its partnership with the cities and towns it serves, contributing grants to non-profit organizations, in-kind services like high-speed Internet and cable television to schools, libraries and Boys & Girls Clubs and volunteer hours. In May, thousands of Comcast's Massachusetts employees participated in the company's annual Comcast Cares Day, volunteering for Comcast's company-wide day of service in 29 communities across the state.

ECI Telecom and Ceragon Partner to Deliver Integrated Solution for Wireless BackhaulJoint Solution Offers Integrated Transport, Microwave Radio and Management for Wireless Backhaul Requirements

PETAH TIKVA and TEL AVIV, Israel, June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ECI Telecom Ltd., a global provider of networking infrastructure solutions, and Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: CRNT), a leading provider of high-capacity wireless backhaul solutions, today announced a partnership to provide a joint multi-service transport radio solution for carriers. The partnership, which strengthens the long-term cooperation between the two market-leading companies, addresses the demand for an end-to-end integrated wireline and wireless backhaul solution, and offers reduced time-to-market, improved manageability and lower integration costs.

By expanding its offering with microwave radio, ECI meets customer requirements for high-capacity and cost-effective backhaul solutions and simplifies the deployment of future backhaul networks. Today's variety of mobile technologies and standards increase the complexity of these backhaul networks. The rising demand for wireless traffic, compounded by the lack of wireline infrastructure, the high cost of leased lines and time to market issues, requires a high-capacity backhaul solution that guarantees support for future needs.

"Modern microwave with both TDM and high speed packet capabilities is necessary for mobile backhaul and other applications, so this partnership makes clear sense to bring together two leading companies in their respective fields," said Michael Howard, Principal Analyst and Co-founder of Infonetics Research. "ECI expands its transport offering with microwave capabilities, Ceragon extends its sales outreach, and their customers will benefit."

To offer carriers an efficient solution with simplified administration, maintenance and provisioning for wireless transport networks, and therefore lower operating expenses, the joint offering is managed by ECI's LightSoft(R) management system. The joint multi-service transport radio combines ECI's XDM(R) and Broad-Gate(R) Multi-Service Provisioning Platforms (MSPP) with Ceragon's FibeAir(R) IP & SDH microwave technology.

With the highest capacity radio transport in the market today - up to 500 Mbps over a single radio carrier, and a leading multiservice transport platform, the integrated multi-service transport radio solution provides a complete wireless backhaul solution for today's 2G/3G networks, while allowing for a smooth migration to next-generation all-IP Radio Access Network (RAN) and wireless Ethernet. This migration is supported by Ceragon's Adaptive Modulation and native Ethernet capabilities, and by ECI's Integrated TDM, ATM and IP/MPLS capabilities, with virtual little cost to carriers. In addition, Ceragon's innovative radio link protection together with ECI's interface and network protection schemes provide carriers with a cost-effective and reliable option for wireless backhaul solution.

ITN Selects All-Digital Avid Workflow for ITV and Channel 4 News Services

LONDON, June 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- End-to-end Avid Solution Maximizes Newsroom Efficiency and Multi Platform Distribution With Collaborative Production Environment

Avid Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVID) today announced that ITN, the UK's leading independent broadcast news producer, has completed the installation of an end-to-end Avid(R) digital workflow to deliver its national news services for ITV, including News At Ten and Channel 4. The system is built around the Avid Interplay(TM) nonlinear workflow engine, the Avid iNEWS(R) newsroom control system and the Avid Unity(TM) ISIS(R) media network, and will enable ITN to effectively create and supply content for a broad range of platforms including television, Web and Mobile phones. ITN will deploy the new digital media solution to streamline the management of its various media assets across a shared network.

"The media asset management tools available with Interplay, together with a very high performance and scalable server in Avid Unity ISIS, embodied how we felt a modern news production system should work," said Keith Cass, Director of Technology at ITN. "Avid has a proven track record in nonlinear editing and many years of experience in media asset management and production servers. This experience, together with the proven success of Avid systems in other news organizations such as the ITV News Regions, made Avid an obvious choice."

Cass continues: "This is one of the most collaborative projects I have ever worked on and it really shows in the delivery. Both ITV News and Channel 4 News wanted to put more control in the hands of the production journalist, so key newsroom stakeholders were involved right from the beginning of our workflow definition and continued through to its delivery. As a result we have a much better understanding across the technical, production and editorial departments about how the system should be used and what the strengths and limitations are in the system. We are confident, thanks to the collaboration between Avid, our Newsroom teams and our technologists, that Avid's Interplay/ISIS system will take ITN's news production to another dimension, giving us some of the most sophisticated and modern newsrooms in the world."

The new fully digital workflow is powered by:

- an Avid Interplay solution for integrated asset management and workflow automation; - an Avid Unity ISIS media network with approximately 160TB storage capacity; - an Avid iNEWS system as the Newsroom Computer System (NRCS); - more than 40 Avid AirSpeed(R) systems to handle ingest-to-playout, controlled by Avid iNEWS Command; - more than 100 editing stations, including Avid NewsCutter(R) XP systems and Avid Interplay Assist seats which provide editing capabilities with desktop video tools for logging, shot selection and review.

Paul Glasgow, general manager of Avid UK & MEA, said, "Modern newsgathering is all about handling digital video files in the most efficient way and being agile enough to innovate and roll out new services at short notice. The Avid systems enable multiple concurrent workflows to coexist, utilizing a common Interplay and ISIS infrastructure. This has provided significant operational improvements and business efficiencies across the ITN-hosted ITV and Channel 4 News operations."

Channel 4 News went live on the new system at the end of January 2008, and the ITV News went on-air in April 2008.

Nokia Expands Advertising Network With Mobile Content Site "MOSH"Nokia Service Enables Advertisers to Target Mobile Content Users

ESPOO, Finland, June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MOSH (http://mosh.nokia.com/), a mobile and online content consumption, creation and sharing service, has joined the Nokia Media Network, and now offers advertisers the opportunity to reach customers around the globe who are downloading original mobile content. The Nokia Media Network provides reach to more than 100 million consumers around the globe through advertising on blue-chip mobile publishers, operator partners and Nokia properties.

"We are committed to expanding the Nokia Media Network, which is growing rapidly in both reach and quality, so we can drive greater results for our brand advertisers," said Mike Baker, vice president and head of Nokia Interactive Advertising. "The MOSH audience, comprised of the heaviest users of mobile content around the world, is particularly desirable to many of our top advertisers."

MOSH has launched its "Spotlight" program, a 'paid placement' advertising initiative, where advertisements are Spotlight-branded and placed above all organic browse, search and contextual placements. Spotlight gives brands and mobile content companies the opportunity for promotion with highlighted placements for their content. Spotlight content is always front and center for all MOSH users to see, and, as MOSH is seamlessly integrated between Web and mobile, so too are the Spotlight campaigns, including banner ads for both the mobile and traditional Internet.

The feature has already proven to be a great success for its initial customers. Vringo, a U.S.-based video sharing community that allows consumers to find, create and share video ringtones, was a launch partner in the Spotlight program. Since signing up as a Spotlight partner in early May, Vringo's downloads have increased by over 100 percent.

"Vringo is thrilled with the way the MOSH user community has embraced our application," said Andrew Perlman, Vringo general manager and SVP of content and community. "The additional visibility the Spotlight program provides has helped us gain additional exposure and users on a scale that has exceeded our expectations."

BLUE LION mobile, a Germany-based developer of interactive mobile applications, was both an early uploader to MOSH as well as partner in the Spotlight Program with BLUE LION's mobile software, "qeep." Qeep is a Java-based multilayered mobile social networking application that includes free messaging, photo blogging and multiplayer gaming. Since signing up as a Spotlight partner in early May, downloads of qeep have increased by over 95 percent.

"We are very happy that qeep has been a pioneer of the Spotlight Program," said Christian Schulte, co-founder and managing director of BLUE LION mobile. "Thanks to MOSH, downloads of Qeep have escalated significantly. We will therefore be expanding our participation in the Spotlight program."

Additionally, Universal Pictures will be launching a Spotlight campaign in promotion of the studio's new film, "Wanted."

A completely open platform, MOSH connects content creators ready to upload and showcase original content (applications, games, graphics and themes) with a global community of consumers who are looking for it. For more information: http://mosh.nokia.com/ or http://mosh.nokia.com/spotlight.

Nokia Interactive Advertising provides brands with all they need to connect with and engage the mobile consumer, including the following:

- The Nokia Media Network, which provides reach to millions of mobile Internet users through advertising on blue-chip mobile publishers, operator partners and Nokia services. - Nokia Interactive Solutions, which creates end-to-end, high-performance mobile experiences for brands and their customers. About Nokia

McAfee, Inc. Names Most Dangerous Domains to Surf and Search on the WebNew McAfee Research Names Hong Kong as Most Dangerous Country Domain; Finland is Safest

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hong Kong (.hk) domain has jumped 28 places as the most dangerous place to surf and search on the web according to a new McAfee, Inc. report called "Mapping the Mal Web Revisited" which is released today. Hong Kong takes the mantle from Tokelau, a tiny island of 1,500 inhabitants in the South Pacific.

"Just like the real world, the virtual threats and risks are constantly changing. As our research shows, Web sites that are safe today can be dangerous tomorrow. Surfing the Web based on conventional wisdom is not enough to avoid risk online," said Jeff Green, Senior Vice President of Product Development & Avert Labs.

The second annual McAfee "Mapping the Mal Web" report into the riskiest and safest places on the Web reveals that 19.2% of all Web sites ending in the ".hk" domain pose a security threat(1) to Web users. China (.cn) is second this year with over 11%. By contrast Finland (.fi) replaced Ireland (.is) as the safest online destination with 0.05%, followed by Japan (.jp).

The most risky generic domain from 2007's report became more dangerous with 11.8% of all sites ending in .info posing a security threat and is the third most dangerous domain overall while government websites (.gov) remained the safest generic domain. The most popular domain, .com, is the ninth riskiest overall. The full McAfee "Mapping the Mal Web Revisited" report is available for download at http://www.mcafee.com/advice.

Using the award-winning McAfee(R) SiteAdvisor(R) technology, McAfee analyzed 9.9 million heavily trafficked Web sites found in 265 different country (those ending in country letters e.g. Brazil .br) and generic (those ending in .net or .info for example) domains.

The study compared the ratings of sites found in each of the 265 country and generic domains and ranked them by the number of risky Web sites found in each domain that contained adware, spyware, viruses, spam, excessive pop-ups, browser exploits or links to other red-rated sites. (2)

The World's Most Overall Overall The World's Overall Overall Dangerous Country rank in rank in Safest Country rank in rank in Web Domains 2008 2007 Web Domain 2008 2007 (ranked in order) (ranked in order) Hong Kong (.hk) 1 28 Finland (.fi) 74 70 PR of China (.cn) 2 11 Japan (.jp) 72 57 Philippines (.ph) 4 19 Norway (.no) 71 68 Romania (.ro) 5 4 Slovenia (.si) 70 62 Russia (.ru) 8 7 Colombia (.co) 69 64

Among country domains Romania (.ro) and Russia (.ru) remained in the top five most dangerous places with 6.75% and 6% of their Web sites ranked as risky while country domains like Japan (.jp) and Australia (.au) remained safe surfing environments.

Other key findings from McAfee "Mapping the Mal Web Revisited" report 2008 include:

-- The chance of downloading spyware, adware, viruses or other unwanted software from surfing the Web increased 41.5% over 2007 -- Sites which offer downloads such as ringtones and screen savers that are also loaded with viruses, spyware and adware increased over the last year from 3.3% to 4.7% -- The Philippines (.ph) experienced a 270% increase in overall riskiness -- Tokelau (.tk) and Samoa (.ws) were notably safer in 2008 dropping to 28th and 12th -- In Europe, Spain (.es) experienced a 91% increase in overall risk

"For administrators of top-level domains this study should act as a wake- up call. Last year's report spurred Tokelau's domain manager to reexamine its policies," said Jeff Green, Senior Vice President of Product Development & Avert Labs. "Not all domain managers are as accommodating so our mission is to educate consumers of the dangers and protect them in every way they enjoy the Web whether through their PC, the Web itself, or mobile phone. With our new secure search and website safety certification, we're taking the guesswork out of searching and surfing online so that consumers enjoy a safer Web experience."

Note to editors: (1) The domain risk assessments come from the McAfee SiteAdvisor site rating database. SiteAdvisor tests sites for the presence of risky behaviors such as browser exploits, adware/spyware/Trojans/viruses, high likelihood of receiving spam, affiliation with other risky sites, and aggressive pop-up marketing. Red site ratings are given to Web sites that exhibit one or more of these behaviors. Yellow site ratings are given to sites that merit caution before using (2) Rankings are restricted to 74 heavily tested top level domains and based on percent of red and yellow sites McAfee SiteAdvisor

McAfee SiteAdvisor tests and rates, on an ongoing basis, nearly every trafficked site on the Internet. Site Advisor site ratings are created by using patented advanced technology to conduct automated Web site tests. In addition, as part of the user community forum function, users can provide direct feedback to other users and to McAfee analysts regarding their personal experience about the sites they visit on the Internet. McAfee SiteAdvisor can be downloaded quickly and for free at http://www.siteadvisor.com/. McAfee SiteAdvisor works with Internet Explorer and Firefox.

The Drive Xpert utility software, available exclusively from ASUS and based on ASUS-defined design flow and graphics, supports the following RAID modes:

-- Ez-Backup (RAID 1) Provides maximum data security by writing data to both drives so the system can continue to operate even in the face of total drive failure, keeping critical data and personal content accessible and protected. -- SuperSpeed (RAID 0) Stripes data to two drives for maximum performance (faster boot time and quicker application caching and loading). -- Normal Mode Allows direct access to both drives.

"This degree of commitment to Silicon Image's SteelVine storage processors by ASUS, the market leader in channel motherboards, shows the depth of our collaborative efforts as well as the value found in the continued innovative initiative in SATA RAID," said Alex Chervet, director of marketing at Silicon Image. "The implementation of our technology across the channel motherboard market segment confirms the robust capabilities of the SteelVine storage processor."

Silicon Image's SteelVine storage processors enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and system integrators to offer 3Gbps (Gigabit per second) storage expansion solutions for price-sensitive mass-market applications. The SiI5723 SATA storage processor can be configured for internal or external SATA (eSATA) applications where plug-and-play, reliable and high-performance data storage and backup are necessary. In addition to motherboards, the versatility of the SiI5723 SATA storage processor makes it suitable for use in standalone storage appliances, personal video recorders (PVRs), media center PCs, and network attached storage (NAS) expansion. Multiple features and 110MBps (Megabyte per second) streaming performance make it ideal for professional consumer drive expansion, small office/home office (SOHO), small and medium business (SMB), video editing and industrial data protection.
