Lowell, Massachusetts Residents to Benefit from Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Voice, Multimedia and Internet Access

LOWELL, Mass., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Middlesex County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases wireless voice and data coverage and capacity along Route 3a, I-495, and Lawrence Street in southern Lowell, Massachusetts, as well as the surrounding area.

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services like BroadbandAccess and V CAST. Regionally the company has invested nearly $2.2 billion into its New England network, including over $292 million in 2007 alone. As a result of these investments, every Verizon Wireless cell site in New England offers wireless broadband connectivity.

BroadbandAccess offers computer users the nation's most reliable high-speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4 mbps over Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess with EV-DO Revision A network. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers and, for the fourteenth consecutive quarter, reported the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the wireless industry.

The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. Nationally, these test men and women drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in high-population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

About Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 67.2 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 69,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

Ground-Breaking Projects Emerging From SAP Co-Innovation Lab Address Today's Pressing Business ChallengesProjects Include Enterprise Collaboration, SOA Management, Disaster Recovery for SAP Environments, Real-Time Reporting and Business Performance Improvement

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAP AG today announced multiple ground-breaking projects coming out of the SAP Co-Innovation Lab, located at the SAP campus in Palo Alto, California. Among the projects that are being created and developed in the lab are a private online collaboration workspace, support for enterprise service-oriented architecture (SOA) management, a disaster recovery solution, a real-time reporting solution for manufacturers, and solutions that help companies improve business performance. Established in June 2007 with support from founding sponsors HP, Intel Corporation, NetApp and Cisco, the SAP Co-Innovation Lab is a hands-on working environment for SAP, its customers and partners to build and execute joint projects, enabling them to co-innovate new business applications and technology solutions to address specific customer needs.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050310/SFTH009LOGO-a) SAP Fosters Co-Innovation Through Private Enterprise Collaboration

Today's social collaboration tools provide readily available and easily accessible platforms for shared communications, but do not provide the governance and layered access required for business communications. In an effort to address this need, one of the leading projects developed in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab is the collaboration workspace from SAP. The workspace provides Web 2.0 infrastructure -- such as blogs, wikis and online forums -- with built-in governance for all companies to participate and collaborate in real time within a secure business network community. The collaboration workspace from SAP provides customers, system integrators, technology partners and independent software partners within the SAP ecosystem a secure online environment to collaborate and foster virtual interaction, while protecting intellectual property assets and tightly managing access levels and authorized information sharing.

The collaboration workspace is enabling 13 different programs at SAP to be more effective and efficient, bringing together more than 3,700 expert users from more than 275 companies, participating in more than 200 unique workspaces. Users include partners and customers participating in SAP's communities of innovation, including the Enterprise Services Community, the Business Process Expert community and the SAP Co-Innovation Lab itself.

"The collaboration workspace from SAP is a powerful, new tool -- and has brought an important additional dimension to Procter & Gamble's engagement in SAP's ecosystem," said Dietmar Giljohann, initiative manager, Order Acquisition, Procter & Gamble. "We're happy to see SAP's leadership around projects like this in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab, producing tangible results that benefit the whole ecosystem."

SAP Ecosystem Tackles Opportunities in Enterprise SOA Management

Enterprise service-oriented architecture provides opportunities for customers to better align IT and business to achieve higher levels of business agility. SAP customers benefit from the visibility and control they achieve by managing the runtime aspects of their composite SOA applications. With an effective management infrastructure, these customers can enforce policies, manage service-level agreements and secure loosely coupled systems that span departments and extend to partners. Members of the SAP Co-Innovation Lab are working together to optimize these SOA runtime management capabilities for SAP enterprise services. To achieve this goal, customers and partners are working with SAP to define key real-world scenarios that are tested and evaluated in the lab. The results will enable the publishing of best practices for customers and partners around SOA-based policy management and enforcement, including in high-volume scenarios. Among the first technology firms supporting SOA management projects in the lab are AmberPoint and Sonoa Systems, both backed by SAP Ventures, and SOA Software.

"The SAP ecosystem, and the SAP Co-Innovation Lab in particular, have been a great asset as we shape our SOA adoption strategy," said Barney Sene, CTO, Ingram Micro. "Since SAP works directly with other companies whose products we've invested in, like SOA Software, we can get clearer, more aligned direction from both parties on topics like SOA management and operational governance. We also have access to implementation insights that have been thought through for the long haul in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab."

SAP Teams With VMware and NetApp to Simplify Disaster Recovery

Since SAP solutions are considered mission-critical to the daily operation of many businesses, these companies are constantly on the lookout for disaster recovery plans to ensure that their SAP solutions are back online quickly and reliably in the event of a system failure. However, many companies find that the formalized disaster recovery plans available today are expensive, time-intensive and difficult to implement. With a goal of addressing this business need, SAP teamed with VMware and NetApp in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab to work together on an automated and cost-effective disaster recovery offering for SAP implementations.

The goal of this project was to help companies lower the cost of maintaining a disaster recovery program, and to simplify the disaster recovery process and increase its reliability. Using VMware Site Recovery Manager and NetApp storage solutions, this project explored solutions for simplifying the previously complex disaster recovery steps by providing automated disaster recovery testing procedures and offering the option of automated daily disaster recovery tests. The results demonstrated the ability to improve recovery time from days to hours or minutes, and improve recovery point objectives from 24 hours to one hour or less.

Cisco and SAP Collaborate to Address "Borderless Manufacturing"

Today's manufacturers frequently operate across several different geographies, often in far-flung locations, and require instant and accurate visibility across their supply chains. SAP has teamed with Cisco in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab to explore solutions that help enable manufacturers to share and deliver with industry-leading security key performance indicators (KPIs) and production data across plants. Taking advantage of the SAP(R) Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) application and the Service-Oriented Network Architecture (SONA) from Cisco, the project simulated near-real-time reporting from a vendor or customer manufacturing facility.

The project included several different demonstration scenarios that support the vision of "borderless manufacturing" for inventory and KPI metric collaboration across a manufacturer's worldwide locations. The results of the project provided manufacturers with the ability to interact with vendors' inventory systems in a controlled environment, access to real-time messaging and collaboration with vendors -- all supported by Web-based entry that is accessible from anywhere within a manufacturer's network.

SAP, Business Objects and Deloitte Consulting LLP Help Businesses Improve Corporate Performance

Many companies today lack a comprehensive solution to manage corporate performance across the enterprise. They are often faced with information silos that prevent them from making informed business and execution decisions that can impact financial performance. To address this business need, SAP and Business Objects, an SAP company, are collaborating with Deloitte Consulting LLP (Deloitte Consulting) through the SAP Co-Innovation Lab to create industry and market-specific service offerings that help companies in their efforts to close the loop between strategy and execution. The collaboration will showcase service offerings that combine SAP solutions for governance, risk and compliance (GRC), enterprise performance management (EPM) and the Business Objects business intelligence (BI) platform with Deloitte Consulting's thought leadership in performance improvement applications and industry consulting experience, knowledge and skills. The companies are working together to demonstrate that customers can benefit from integrated GRC, EPM and BI solutions to enable more effective decision-making and to improve business performance across the enterprise.

The demonstrations hosted in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab will show how companies can adaptively change corporate strategy and launch campaigns dynamically in response to market and competitive risks. The advantage to customers is to be able to embed risk management into operational processes and to continually monitor and adjust a company's performance against strategy.

"Software vendors are relying more on their partner networks to expand into new markets and provide competitive advantage to their customers and partners," said Joshua Greenbaum, principal, Enterprise Applications Consulting. "SAP has clearly taken a leadership position in this regard by leveraging its ecosystem to collaborate and develop new solutions with its customers and partners. The interactions between customers and partners enabled by the SAP Co-Innovation Lab are proof that SAP understands the value of placing its customers at the center of innovation."

SAP Co-Innovation Lab Showcases the Power of the SAP Ecosystem

Along with the development of ground-breaking projects, the SAP Co-Innovation Lab also supports other collaboration-rich activities. The lab hosts a series of seminars and Webinars, thought leadership forums, and onsite and online collaborations with SAP and other industry leaders. The lab offers high-impact demonstrations and solution showcases with onsite and online access, providing a rich customer experience. The lab also helps to lower the cost of innovation by enabling close cooperation with partners and customers, and by providing a simulated heterogeneous and full-featured data center. (For comments from partners, see addendum quote sheet at http://www.sap.com/company/press/press.aspx?pressID=9668.)

"These examples show how the SAP Co-Innovation Lab is providing a completely new type of collaboration platform for the industry's top minds to work together on the most pressing business challenges our customers face today," said Zia Yusuf, executive vice president, Global Ecosystem and Partner Group, SAP. "Our mutual customers stand to gain substantial benefits, as the work done at the lab pulls together the SAP ecosystem to address the right problem at the right time with a real, tangible solution. The combined efforts of SAP and its customer-focused ecosystem are continuing to deliver on the promises of co-innovation, collaboration, and thought leadership."

Current Technology's Celevoke Clarifies Patent Position

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Current Technology Corporation (the "Company") (BULLETIN BOARD: CRTCF) has become aware that certain information relating to its subsidiary's intellectual property and that the Company believes is inaccurate has been released to the market by a third party. The purpose of this news release is to respond to and correct the inaccurate information released by the third party.

The Company's 51% owned Texas-based subsidiary Celevoke, Inc. ("Celevoke") has a non-exclusive worldwide license to manufacture, market and sell Wireless Triggerable Location and Remote Control products (i.e., its proprietary Telematics Systems) developed by LunarEYE, Inc. ("LunarEYE"), a Texas corporation. LunarEYE owns a number of issued and pending patents (including US Patent number 6,484,035, referred to herein as the "035 Patent") in the United States and other countries around the world. On May 11, 2007 LunarEYE filed a lawsuit against Webtech Wireless Inc. of Burnaby, British Columbia ("WEW") alleging patent infringement. Subsequent to May 2007, WEW submitted a Request for Re-Examination of the "035" Patent to the US Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO"). In its Management Discussion and Analysis for the quarter ended April 30, 2008 which is dated June 13, 2008, WEW on page 11 made the following statement: on June 10, 2008 WEW received notice from the USPTO that "the patent in question (ie, the 035 Patent) had been rejected by the USPTO." Current Technology believes this statement is misleading, at best.

"The correspondence WEW referenced from the USPTO is in fact a non-final office action concerning claim 3. There are three claims in the 035 Patent," stated Celevoke and LunarEYE CEO, Chuck Allen. "Based solely on prior art information provided by WEW, and absent of even our first response, the USPTO issued notice it is re examining only one of the three claims. The other two claims are unaffected by the action. Basically the USPTO has only heard one side of the story, and characterizing the office action as 'final' is simply inaccurate. The 035 Patent is still validly issued and in full force and effect. Further, LunarEYE has 60 days in which to make its arguments to the examiner at the USPTO in support of its questioned claim, validity contentions and patentability position over the prior art which the examiner will consider next. LunarEYE plans to respond aggressively and as quickly as possible to the patent office, and is hopeful the questioned claim ultimately will be upheld and unaffected."

Chuck Allen continued, "We consider this matter to be of the highest priority and will devote an appropriate level of time and attention to defending it before the USPTO. To that end, we may agree to delay the start of the WEW trial which is scheduled to commence November 2008 in the Eastern District of Texas until this USPTO matter is resolved."

Current Technology CEO Robert Kramer concluded, "We believe this matter will have no impact on Celevoke's business going forward, and we stand behind our previous statements concerning market opportunities for Celevoke."

About Celevoke

Celevoke is poised to become a market leader in the projected $38.3 billion (by 2011) global market for Telematics (according to ABI Research), which is the integrated use of telecommunications and informatics. More specifically, it is the science of sending, receiving and storing information wirelessly via telecommunication devices. Celevoke has integrated Telematics and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) with sensing technology. This proprietary suite of hardware and software products enables users to remotely monitor, track, control and protect a wide variety of asset classes. Examples include people, automobiles and trucks, shipping containers and covert vehicles used for law enforcement and intelligence gathering in a global marketplace.

Vectra Bank Launches SafePoint Solution For Same-Day Cash Flow- Vectra's services combine with Loomis safe for ultimate retail cash solution -

DENVER, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Vectra Bank Colorado has partnered with Loomis Fargo & Co. to offer SafePoint currency security, an innovative solution for its business customers handling large quantities of cash and desiring improved security.

SafePoint comprises an electronic safe and complementary cash management tools managed by Loomis. Vectra Bank provides a seamless suite of financial services so customers receive same-day credit -- and immediate cash availability -- for deposited funds.

"We are pleased to provide our customers with this useful combination of offerings," said Jim Vogt, Senior Vice President/Manager, Treasury Management & Merchant Services for Vectra Bank Colorado. "When our clients receive cash payments from our customers, we believe those funds should be available to them immediately -- without giving up the security and convenience of a safe."

Here's how Vectra Bank's SafePoint services work:

1. Following each business day, daily deposit totals are extracted for all SafePoint transactions conducted during the day.

2. Vectra Bank Cash Vault Services give the client's account a provisional credit for the previous day's safe deposits. The money is available to the customer immediately, because Loomis guarantees the accuracy and safety of its cash services. Vectra Bank requires no underwriting process or credit approval for business customers.

3. The business schedules armored pickups as needed, without worrying about cash availability. If the business needs change, Loomis delivers the change, and Vectra debits its bank account.

"SafePoint customers choose their service level and pay fees for some services, such as cash counting, as usual," noted Vogt. "But business owners who try SafePoint find the minimal fees are well worth the convenience and security they gain, plus fees can also be partially or fully offset by balances."

The Screen to Green (S2G) TV Recycling Rally will be centrally held on the Auraria campus across from the Pepsi Center in downtown Denver from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. In addition to televisions, residents can also recycle other electronics including computer monitors, DVD players or other e-waste that shouldn't be placed in the general trash. There is a $5 recycling fee for each screen recycled which includes TVs and computer monitors. TV and computer monitor recycling is more expensive and complex than other e-waste processing, so Comcast and the other rally sponsors are helping to offset recycling costs. Other small electronics including computers, cell phones, stereo components, DVD players and PDAs are free.

In addition, residents who participate in the Recycling Rally by recycling a TV or other electronic item will be eligible to enter a drawing for a 40-inch LCD TV and a free Comcast Triple Play service package for one year. The package includes Comcast Digital Cable featuring superior HDTV and Video on Demand, High-Speed Internet boasting download speeds of 6 Mbps and PowerBoost, and feature-rich Comcast Digital Voice(R).

Comcast Colorado is leading the TV recycling effort in Denver as part of its participation in Screen to Green, a cable industry initiative to educate consumers and engage them in the recycling of unused televisions to better the environment. In the past six weeks, Comcast has used its various technology platforms and wide reach to educate consumers about the dangers of TVs in landfills. In addition to sending bill messages and alerts via its cable set-top boxes to its customers about the Recycling Rally, the company teamed with Planet Green to air commercials about the event.

"As consumers continue to adopt new technologies and embrace advanced services such as VOD and HDTV, we want to ensure that we're helping consumers understand how they can responsibly recycle their old technology to improve our environment," said Scott Binder, senior vice president of Comcast Colorado. "Our participation in the first Screen to Green TV Recycling Rally is just one way that Comcast is working within our communities to make a positive and measurable difference."

Many consumers are unaware that electronic waste, including TVs, if improperly disposed could become toxic waste. Electronics are full of toxic materials such as lead, mercury and beryllium and other elements that if improperly managed, could be harmful to people and the environment. Each TV or computer monitor may contain up to eight pounds of lead. When televisions and other e-waste are discarded and crushed in landfills, they may leach chemicals into groundwater or pollute the air.

"The City and County of Denver is committed to providing our residents with easy ways to protect our environment and promote sustainability," said Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. "From the recent recycling initiative we announced with the Downtown Business Improvement District for the 16th Street Mall to our partnership with Comcast for this Screen to Green TV recycling event, we continuously seek ways to better our community."

Through the recycling of TVs, valuable resources such as precious metals, plastics and glass can be extracted and reused. According to the U.S. EPA, reusing and recycling these materials from end-of-life electronics conserves natural resources and avoids air and water pollution as well as greenhouse gas emissions that are emitted by the manufacturing of new products.

"Every TV that is kept out of a landfill is triumph for the environment," said Lori McFarling, divisional marketing officer, Domestic Distribution and Enterprises, Discovery Communications -- the parent company of Planet Green. "One of the goals of Discovery's new Planet Green initiative is to encourage people to make more environmentally conscious decisions, and Screen to Green provides a great opportunity for consumers to contribute their part to protecting the planet."

Launched as the first and only 24-hour eco-lifestyle television network in early June, Planet Green can be found in Comcast's Digital Preferred package line-up on channel 201.

Waste Management Recycle America and GRX (Guaranteed Recycling Xperts) will work together to provide e-waste recycling services at the June 28th Denver S2G Recycling Rally. Both e-cycling partners uphold the highest standards for responsible electronics recycling and ensure that all waste will be handled domestically.

Endeavors and NTT Europe Online Join Forces

IRVINE, California and LONDON, June 18 /PRNewswire/ --

- Companies Utilize Proof of Concept as Trial SaaS Platform for ISVs

Endeavors Technologies, the pioneer in application streaming and virtualization technology, and its parent company, Tadpole Technology plc, today announced a strategic partnership with NTT Europe Online. The companies are building a proof-of-concept (POC) based on Application Jukebox that will be used to help ISVs transition their applications to a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. The POC offers ISVs a 30 day trial, allowing them to experience the benefits of a hosted, SaaS model, without having to re-architect their existing windows-based application.

Damian Skendrovic, Regional Director at NTT Europe Online, said: "We have seen a real growth in demand for SaaS products from end-users; however, the upfront investment required to develop a multi-tenanted application has always acted as a barrier to entry for ISVs. This trial service allows ISVs to evaluate initial market response without re-architecting the application: minimizing business risk, reducing costs and helping the ISV build a viable business proposition for SaaS. Once proven, the technology and infrastructure underpinning the POC easily scales to support the ISV as customer usage grows."

"We are excited to enter into this strategic partnership with NTT Europe Online," said Peter Bondar, CEO of Endeavors Technologies. "NTT Europe Online has extensive experience supporting and hosting SaaS applications and, alongside its position as a Microsoft SaaS Incubation Partner, was the obvious hosting partner of choice. We believe that a SaaS offering based on Application Jukebox will only strengthen this position."

Gartner has predicted that the global market for SaaS will more than triple over the next three years, growing from US$6.3 billion in 2006 and is on track to reach US$19.3 billion by the end of 2011.

Telecom Industry Divided on Whether the Internet Will 'Break'New industry survey predicts traffic jams on the information superhighway

LAS VEGAS, June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NXTcomm08 -- Telecommunications professionals are split down the middle on whether increasing bandwidth demands are likely to break the Internet, according to a new survey released today. The survey showed half of respondents saying bandwidth demands will eventually break the Internet, with the other half saying they won't. Of the 51% who see trouble ahead, one out of four think it could happen within two years.

The industry is also increasingly green about energy costs. 69% think energy efficiency is more important than circuit costs when constructing a network.

Straight from the builders themselves

Tellabs and research firm IDC conducted the survey of 372 telecom industry professionals, which tracked respondents' views on Internet use, the challenges providers face, and how those challenges will affect tomorrow's networks. Broadband is integral to the way users work and play and is a vital part of everyday life.

"The findings of this survey make it very plain that bandwidth is not infinite," said Lee Doyle, Group Vice President and General Manager, Network Infrastructure and Security Products and Services, IDC. "Unless there is sufficient investment into new infrastructure, the increased bandwidth demands of new advanced services could well outstrip capacity."

2008 - Keeping the traffic flowing smoothly The survey reveals that telecommunications professionals: Are concerned the Internet will "break"

-- 51% are concerned that increasing bandwidth demands will "break" the Internet ;

Think power efficiency "laps" circuit costs

-- 69% say that in a network environment, energy consumption is more important than circuit costs;

Think providers will do what's necessary to clear lanes

-- Of the 80% who identified a way to deal with Internet congestion, 32% think providers address spikes in traffic by prioritizing via packet inspection, while 24% believe that spikes are better handled by charging more for excess bandwidth;

See video as a road hog

-- 43% believe that up to 30% of overall Internet traffic is video today, and 40% expect that to increase to up to 75% in five years;

Believe Europe drives demand for mobile broadband

-- 80% expect that over the next two years, operators will face greater demand for mobile broadband services in Europe than North America;

Predict mobile TV use is in the fast lane

-- 50% say that video puts the biggest bandwidth demand on mobile networks today and 81% say that will still be true in five years.

"Internet access has become essential for millions of Americans and the appetite for bandwidth is putting pressure on service provider networks," said Dan Kelly, executive vice president of global products for Tellabs. "Tellabs solutions enable providers to offer multiple levels of broadband offerings, based on the quality of service and the price that is right for their customers."

Tellabs polled industry professionals at NXTcomm08, the premier industry venue co-owned by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and the United States Telecom Association (US Telecom). Tellabs conducted the survey on June 17.

Content categories showing gains in May included flowers/gifts/greetings, jewelry/luxury goods/accessories, coupon, and travel sites.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080115/COMSCORELOGO)

"Mother's Day was a key driver of Web activity in May, as the convenience of online shopping for flowers and gifts drew many to retail sites," commented Jack Flanagan, executive vice president of comScore Media Metrix. "Summer travel was also on Americans' minds this month as warmer weather and the end of the school year spurred vacation planning. With Americans feeling the pocket pinch of soaring gas prices, rising food costs and an unsteady market, scouring the Internet for hot travel deals was essential for many to ensure an affordable summer vacation."

Honoring Mom Drives Traffic to Gift and Retail Sites

The category reached 42.4 million visitors, up 15 percent from April, making it the top-gaining category for the month.

Verizon's Strigl Says Communications Industry Is Key Force Driving Progress, Commerce and Lifestyles'More' Is What America Demands of its Broadband, Wireless, Video and Global Networks; Verizon's All-Fiber Network Leading the Way

LAS VEGAS, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The communications industry is a vital force in the nation's progress, and is positioned to deliver even more innovation, more services, and more safety and security, said Denny Strigl, Verizon's president and chief operating officer, in a keynote address Wednesday (June 18) at the NXTcomm trade show here.

With growth occurring everywhere in network technology, "We think that giving customers the tools to manage their digital lives -- anytime, anywhere, on any device -- may be the most powerful growth opportunity of all," Strigl said.

Reviewing technologies that support video and data, wired and wireless transport, Strigl cited Verizon's FiOS Internet and FiOS TV services, along with the company's advanced wireless services, as examples of the industry's progress.

After announcing that Verizon next week will offer all of its FiOS Internet customers download speeds of 50 megabits per second (Mbps) with 20 Mbps upstream, Strigl looked forward: "We've already had trials of the 100-megabit home, which will be a reality faster than anybody thinks," he said. "We're also pushing the envelope on the speed of the Internet backbone -- with 40-gigabit-per-second speeds a reality today and 100 gigabits in sight.

"These speeds are transforming global businesses the same way fiber is transforming broadband to the home," he said. "New services like virtual reality videoconferencing and on-demand software are helping multinational companies save energy, improve efficiency and manage their global workforce -- and there is much more on the way."

Reinforcing the global nature of modern networking, Verizon Business announced Wednesday that it is expanding and strengthening its unified communications and collaboration services to help multinational companies, faced with dramatically rising travel costs, collaborate better and improve their business processes. Unified communications uses Internet protocol networks to integrate voice, data and video communications and devices, allowing for more effective and efficient communications.

(Note: For more details on the 50Mbps and unified communications announcements, see separate news releases at http://newscenter.verizon.com/press-releases/verizon/2008/verizon-extends.html and http://newscenter.verizon.com/press-releases/verizon/2008/verizon- business-makes.html, respectively. Due to the length of the URL, please copy and paste into your browser.)

Strigl also noted that America leads the world in the number of broadband connections and in choice and competition for broadband services. Furthermore, Verizon's fiber-optic deployment is progressing faster, passing twice as many homes with more fiber customers than exist in all of Europe.

In wireless, too, the U.S. is leading other countries, with more minutes, lower prices and more choice of providers.

"What the U.S. communications industry has achieved in deploying broadband and mobile networks is tremendous," Strigl said. "Unlike most other nations, we've done this not through industrial policy but through private investment. Our industry has grown, delivering innovation that makes a difference in the lives of our customers. The benefits have rippled through the entire economy and up and down the whole supply chain -- creating millions of high-tech jobs and billions of dollars in value.

"'More' is what our industry is delivering to customers and America," Strigl said. 'More' is what Verizon is going to bring to the marketplace this year, next year and every year after that. And 'more' is what broadband and mobile technologies will mean to society as we enter the next phase of the digital revolution."
