FBI Program, InfraGard, Facilitates Dialog With 25,000 Through Streaming EncoderViewCast Portable Streaming Video Encoder Enables National Security Organization to Optimize Communications Nationally

PLANO, Texas, July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A Niagara(R) GoStream(R) Plus portable streaming video encoder is helping to build a vital communications channel to the 25,000 members of InfraGard(R), an FBI program that facilitates dialog between the public and private sectors regarding critical infrastructure protection issues. Donated by ViewCast Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: VCST) , a leading global provider of audio and video encoding communication products, the encoder enables InfraGard to extend its information and education programs to members across the United States by streaming live events to the organization's Web site.

Established in 1996, InfraGard brings together security and risk management professionals from a variety of industries to encourage a robust exchange of information about how to protect the nation's critical infrastructures from terrorist and other threats. "Because our membership is so geographically dispersed, our biggest challenge has been finding a way to bring everyone together and deliver consistent information via a neutral platform that is easy to access and use," said Joe Concannon, president and CEO of InfraGard. "The GoStream Plus unit has given us the ideal solution by enabling members to view live and archived events from anywhere, using standard tools such as Windows Media(R), Adobe Flash(R), QuickTime(R), and Real Player(R)."

InfraGard's inaugural use of the Niagara GoStream Plus encoder was for the recent 2008 GovSec U.S. Law and Ready Conference, followed by the InfraGard national conference and business meeting held in Orlando, Fla. In recognition of National Police Week, InfraGard is currently using the encoder to stream a virtual tour of the new National Police Memorial Foundation Museum to members. "With the GoStream Plus unit, there are no limits to the type of content we can make available to our members -- everything from interviews with CEOs and public officials to professional development courses in topics such as project management or the impact of federal legislation and policies," said Concannon. "Our last national business meeting in Orlando represented a significant milestone: the first time we were able to make meeting content available to all 25,000 members at the same time."

"InfraGard should be commended for its efforts to coordinate and educate such a massive group of volunteers in their mission to keep our country safe," said Dave Stoner, president and chief operating officer of ViewCast. "We're pleased that the GoStream Plus is playing such an important role in bringing together this dedicated group of patriots."

Hughes to Provide Broadband Satellite System for Spanish LotteryFive-Year Contract with Spain's Leading Gaming Technology Company Includes Redundant HN System and over 2800 Broadband Routers

GERMANTOWN, Md., July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, LLC (HUGHES), the global leader in broadband satellite network solutions and services, today announced that Sistemas Tecnicos de Loterias del Estado (STL) has awarded its wholly owned subsidiary, HNS Ltd., a contract to provide a geographically redundant HN System Network Operations Center (NOC), 2800 HN7700S broadband satellite routers, and support/maintenance services for five years. STL provides information technology and telecommunications services to the Entidad Publico Empresarial Loterias y Apuestas del Estado Espanol (LAE), the Spanish state lottery authority. Handling over two million lottery transactions per year, STL is Spain's leading gaming technology and telecommunications company.

"We issued an RFP in order to find the most suitable communications solution for our lower volume, more remote point-of-sales sites," said Alfonso Pedro Fernandez Garcia, STL's Director of Communications and New Sales Channels. "We evaluated mobile communications, DSL, and satellite IP technologies, and from 15 proposals concluded that the best balance among Quality of Service (QoS) assurance, cost per transaction, and coverage would be provided by a satellite IP solution. We chose the HN System from Hughes because of the capabilities of the HN7700S platform and our long-standing relationship with Hughes. As we are migrating from X.25 to pure IP, we needed the latest, state-of-the-art equipment which will enable us to provide better service quality and enable future broadband applications."

"This agreement builds upon our successful 10 year relationship with STL and is evidence of the strategic importance of the lottery sector to Hughes and our leadership in serving it, following major contracts with GTECH in the US and Camelot in the UK," said Luigi Pagni, vice president, Sales and Marketing of Hughes Europe. "STL will now enjoy the benefits of our latest HN System platform which is based on the world's most widely deployed standard, IPoS/DVBS2 with ACM (adaptive coding modulation), yielding higher throughputs and more efficient bandwidth utilization."

Installation of the HN System NOCs began in May and of the remote satellite terminals shortly thereafter, with rollout scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2009.

About Sistemas Tecnicos de Loterias del Estado Sistemas Tecnicos de Loterias del Estado S.A. (STL), headquartered in Madrid, was formed in 1988 to provide information technology and telecommunciations services to the Entidad Publico Empresarial Loterias y Apuestas del Estado Espanol, the Spanish state lottery authority. Over the years, STL has maintained and updated its infrastructure and applications, concentrating on updating equipment and on the design and development of new solutions. Among STL's strategies is to design and develop management systems certified by entities of recognized prestige. Thus, STL has created a Quality Management System certified by AENOR, in accordance with the corresponding ISO standard and has been awarded the World Lottery Association security qualification.

AVT Executive Details Significant Revenue Growth; Higher Earning Potential; In Star Capital Interview- Great Technological Impact in $42 Billion Vending Industry -

CORONA, Calif., July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AVT, Inc. (formerly Automated Vending Technologies), (Pink Sheets: AVTC), is pleased to announce that James Winsor, the Company's Director of Engineering and Manufacturing, was recently interviewed in-depth by Star Capital IR about AVT's progress, goals and objectives. Star Capital IR recently issued a Buy Recommendation on the stock.

In the exclusive interview, available in full at the AVT web site (http://www.avtinconline.com/), Mr. Winsor said that AVT income in the first quarter of 2008 was $1.36 million compared to $2.34 million for the entire year 2007. He said further sales increases are expected now that the Company's RAM 5000, its state-of-the-art high capacity snack and product dispensing system, which was in design and testing in 2007, now is available for purchase. Also, Mr. Winsor said accretive earnings from the acquisition of Jalapenos Mexican Restaurant are helping increase revenue and net income.

The AVT executive said the Company expects explosive growth from the combined sales of technology based AVT products and revenue generated through the AVTi Media Network, which utilize LCD displays that are remotely controlled, via the Internet, and which allow for advertisements and media content on any AVT based products. Likewise, AVTi offers a lucrative revenue sharing program for vending operators who are part of the AVTi Media Network.

In the interview, Mr. Winsor stresses how technology sets AVT apart from its competition in the $42 billion annual vending industry. AVT has "the primary objective of driving the vending industry to the next level through the design, development and integration of technology systems and compatible options," he says. "We have spent the last 3-4 years designing, developing and testing technology that will seamlessly integrate into our vending systems to meet our primary Company goal of becoming the principal leader and driving force when it comes to modernizing the vending and product dispensing industry."

In conclusion, in the Star Capital interview, Mr. Winsor emphasizes that AVT's entrance into the trillion dollar advertising market, with significant interest now being shown by national advertising programs, should give it a higher valuation.

"Many smaller focused technology companies have performed extremely well as public companies in the technology sector. Look at where HP and Dell started or even Microsoft, these were all smart start-up technology-based companies which are now the best of the best. We are confident that AVT will become the best of the best!" AVT's executive says.

ABOUT AVT:

AVT, Inc. (Pink Sheets: AVTC) is a vending solutions provider based in Corona, California that has developed several significant vending machine technologies that yield a more efficient and reliable yet technically advanced system.

HERZLIYA, Israel, July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FTS , a global provider of Billing, CRM and Business Control solutions for communication and content service providers, today announced the launch of Leap(TM) Billing & CRM - the next generation of its converged billing & CRM solutions.

The product suite has been designed to inherently unify billing and CRM information, providing a holistic view of all customer events and billing events, and enabling in-depth service personalization. Based upon a process-driven design, the solution offers unparalleled flexibility, empowering service providers to quickly launch and easily manage multi-service offerings in-house, in real time, without vendor intervention.

Leap Billing & CRM is an end-to-end converged solution based on telecom-specific business processes that reflect the industry's best practices. The solution allows new business practices to be instantly implemented, and new services, bundles and promotions to be rolled out immediately, without involving costly billing and CRM integration projects. In this way, Leap Billing & CRM offers a long-term, viable solution to the ever-evolving needs of telecom providers.

"With knowledge-driven personalization becoming a critical differentiator in the multi-service environment, service providers need to quickly implement ever more specific business processes and business rules," said Teresa Cottam, Associate Principal Analyst, Analysys Mason, and author of The Next-Generation Bill: Commercial and Technical Strategies. "Being able to do this in-house in real time, without the vendor's intervention, is compelling because it eliminates a time-consuming and often costly stage in the delivery chain."

"While many solutions try to offer integration between billing and CRM systems, Leap Billing & CRM is a truly unified solution that improves customer experience and gives the control back to the service provider," said Amos Sivan, CEO, FTS. "Service providers can now offer their customers a much more personalized service, while maintaining full control of their business processes, as new products, bundles and promotions no longer require lengthy integration projects or external resources."

FTS' Leap Billing & CRM enables service providers to respond quickly and flexibly to each billing or customer event, taking full advantage of all existing CRM and billing information to increase revenues and improve customer satisfaction:

- Leap Billing & CRM has been designed from the ground up as a converged solution. - Using a unified product catalog that centralizes product offerings across billing, CRM and order management, Leap Billing & CRM enables service providers to easily define new bundles in-house. This means they can respond immediately to market trends and differentiate themselves from their competitors. - The platform utilizes SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and Oracle's BEA market leading Aqualogic(R) BPM (Business Process Management) engine to provide an open and highly flexible solution. - Leap Billing & CRM offers a holistic view of all customer and billing events, ensuring efficient, effective, and seamless customer and account management. - A unified desktop tool for Customer Service Representatives (CSRs), with a single view of all customer information, removes the need to navigate between multiple interfaces. Aside from enhancing efficiency, this also maximizes the value of each customer, boosting cross-sales and up-sales processes while improving customer satisfaction with service personalization. - FTS' Leap Billing & CRM takes personalization one step further with multi-service billing capabilities, flexible convergent charging, and real-time customer self provisioning. - Leap Billing & CRM also comes complete with FTS' patented Do Tree(TM). The Do Tree offers business control by combining in-depth business analysis with the ability to define business rules that are automatically executed when triggered by specific network, customer or balance events.

Motorola Introduces Next Generation of MING DynastyA1600, A1800 and A810 continue Motorola's leadership in PDA handsets

BEIJING, July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola Inc. , a global leader in mobile communications, today launched in China the latest members of its popular PDA series -- MING A1600, MING A1800 and MOTO A810. The highly-anticipated next generation MING A1600 and A1800, both of which feature stand-alone GPS and a full-package of productivity and multimedia functions, along with the chic entry-level MOTO A810 further expand Motorola's line of PDA handsets and will continue the company's leadership in China's PDA handset market.

"As the next generation of our MING range, the A1600 and A1800 combine Motorola's long heritage in the PDA market with stylish design and innovative technology, delivering a personal productivity experience that has been tailored to the needs of the busy Chinese executive," said Ray Yam, Vice President and General Manager, Motorola Mobile Devices, China. "The A810, meanwhile, adds new energy and style to Motorola's PDA series -- it is ideal for those young professionals who are looking to work hard and play hard, thanks to the multi-functional and fully-featured set of tools we have included."

From the world's first pen-based PDA, the Motorola A6188, to the breakthrough MING, and now today's A1600, A1800 and A810, Motorola's PDA devices were conceived, designed, developed, and manufactured here in China. So far, more than eight million Motorola pen-based PDA handsets have been sold in China.

Adopting the unique MING design language, MING A1600 and A1800 feature MING's distinctive signature transparent flip cover, while inside their sleek and compact bodies lie a powerful package that includes stand-alone GPS, Motorola's industry-leading smart handwriting technology and a wide range of productivity tools. The A1600 is also equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus and panorama capability and a camera scan talking dictionary, while the A1800 supports CDMA/GSM dual-mode dual standby, integrated incoming call/SMS firewall and a 3.0 megapixel auto-focus camera.

Meanwhile, with its stylish candy bar design, smart handwriting technology, and a full suite of productivity tools and entertainment features -- all at an affordable price -- MOTO A810 is the ideal choice for young professionals.

"Designed specifically to reflect the Chinese preference for writing characters by hand, our pen-based PDA series has met with incredible success in China," added Yam. "As one of the first multi-national companies to invest in China, Motorola has always been committed to providing Chinese consumers with pioneering technologies and innovative products."

Next Generation MING

The original MING A1200 was an immediate hit after its launch in China in early 2006. Achieving unprecedented success and breaking all PDA market records, MING is still one of the best selling handsets in China with more than three million units sold in the country.

The latest in the MING series, the A1600 and A1800 both naturally have the "MING" look, but designers also added new and enhanced GPS, smart handwriting technology, business and multimedia functions to meet the exacting needs of Chinese executives, helping them stay in touch -- and in charge.

In a country where cities are growing and changing by the day, knowing where you are and where you are going is becoming a greater challenge. With advanced stand-alone touch-screen GPS, both MING A1600 and A1800 can help you find your next destination with ease, supporting both independent satellite positioning and GPS positioning. The two devices also can position and navigate independently like a specialized GPS device without mobile network support.

Even when you don't know the exact address, the A1600 can help you find the destination by sending an MMS of landmark buildings. For convenience, both the A1600 and A1800 come with a 1GB MicroSD card pre-loaded with the latest electronic maps of the Chinese mainland (not including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). Motorola will even offer a free one-time upgrade of the electronic maps on the A1800, to ensure you are kept up-to-date, while owners of the A1600 can also take advantage of this upgrade for a small fee.

Equipped with Motorola's industry-leading Chinese handwriting recognition and input technology, MING A1600 and A1800 support rapid cursive Chinese handwriting input. With smart learning (A1600 only), prediction and memory capabilities, they can learn and remember your writing habits and increase your input speed. The large 2.4" touch screens also provides a clear and comfortable writing experience.

Placing a powerful business assistant right in the palm of your hand, MING A1600 and A1800 also offer a suite of mobile business applications, including email, Internet access (A1600 only), a business card reader, Kingsoft translation software, and a Office document reader.

MING A1600: -- Stand-alone, touch-screen GPS for real time turn-by-turn navigation;

-- 3.2 megapixel auto focus camera with panorama and scanning capabilities;

-- Industry-leading smart pen-based Chinese handwriting on a 2.4" touch screen;

-- Talking dictionary scans characters, recognizes the words and even pronounces the translation for you;

-- Smart Linux platform supports multi-tasking operations with expandable to 4GB with a MicroSD card.

With a 3.2 megapixel camera, the A1600 makes it easy to snap, save and share pictures. The panorama capability can piece together multiple shots taken across a horizon and make a 300 degree panoramic photo. You can also make GIF animations and share them with your friends by MMS.

When you are reading English documents, the A1600 can scan and translate the words you don't know. The integrated talking dictionary can scan characters, recognize the words and then pronounce them for you.

The smart Linux platform supports multi-tasking and rich applications and provides fast, stable and more efficient experience. The expandable memory of up to 4GB with a MicroSD card offers enough space to save your important documents for work and fun.

MING A1800:

-- CDMA/GSM dual-mode dual standby, so you will never miss every important call and message;

-- Stand-alone, touch-screen GPS for precise satellite navigation;

-- Industry-leading smart pen-based Chinese handwriting on a 2.4" touch screen;

-- Powerful productivity tools: email, Office document reader, business card reader, and Kingsoft translation software.

Global executives need a device that works wherever they go. With its CDMA/GSM dual mode, MING A1800 supports both SIM and UIM cards and is a dual standby phone, which searches both the CDMA and GSM networks for the strongest signal. Users can easily answer calls from either network without needing to manually switching networks. Supporting both CDMA1X and GPRS data services, the A1800 provides a truly dual mode experience.

With an integrated firewall, MING A1800 can be your 24-hour secretary. Pre-set black and white name-lists screen for, and block, unwanted calls. You can also use key words to filter out junk SMS automatically.

The 3.0 megapixel auto focus camera will clearly capture those memorable moments of your life. At the same time, MING A1800's 150MB of on-board memory, expandable to 4GB with MicroSD card, offers enough storage space to save your favorite photographs.

It represented 17.2% and 17.1% sequential decrease, and 5.7% and 6.4% year-over-year decrease. This weaker than expected June sales was owing to the cautious inventory control for semi-annual results by customers as well as the anticipation of uncertain seasonal demand under current macro environment.

In the second quarter of 2008, AUO's unaudited consolidated and unconsolidated revenues totaled NT$123,464 million and NT$122,373 million. It represented year-over-year growth of 16.5% and 15.5%, but quarter-over-quarter decrease of 9.6% and 10.2%. The decline was due to the lower-than-expected shipment and ASP in both IT and TV panels.

Large-sized panel shipments for the second quarter of 2008 were 21.8 million, a mild 0.9% Q-o-Q decrease but 12% Y-o-Y increase. Small- and medium-sized panel shipments for the second quarter of 2008 totaled 41.9 million units, representing 11.1% Q-o-Q increase and 29.9% Y-o-Y increase.

Global Consumer Survey Reveals That Majority of Old Mobile Phones are Lying in Drawers at Home and not Being Recycled

ESPOO, Finland, July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Only 3% of people recycle their mobile phones despite the fact that most have old devices lying around at home that they no longer want, according to a global consumer survey released by Nokia today. Three out of every four people added that they don't even think about recycling their devices and nearly half were unaware that it is even possible to do so.

The survey is based on interviews with 6,500 people in 13 countries including Finland, Germany, Italy, Russia, Sweden, UK, United Arab Emirates, USA, Nigeria, India, China, Indonesia and Brazil. It was conducted to help Nokia find out more about consumers' attitudes and behaviors towards recycling, and inform the company's take-back programs and efforts to increase recycling rates of unused mobile devices.

Markus Terho, Director of Environmental Affairs, Markets, at Nokia said, "It is clear from this survey that when mobile devices finally reach the end of their lives that very few of them are recycled. Many people are simply unaware that these old and unused mobiles lying around in drawers can be recycled or how to do this. Nokia is working hard to make it easier, providing more information and expanding our global take-back programs." He added, "If each of the three billion people globally owning mobiles brought back just one unused device we could save 240,000 tonnes of raw materials and reduce greenhouse gases to the same effect as taking 4 million cars off the road. By working together, small individual actions could add up to make a big difference."

The findings highlight that despite the fact that people on average have each owned around five phones, very few of these are being recycled once they are no longer used. Only 3% said they had recycled their old phone. Yet very few old devices, 4%, are being thrown into landfill. Instead the majority, 44%, are simply being kept at homes never used. Others are giving their mobiles another life in different ways, one quarter are passing on their old phones to friends or family, and 16% of people are selling their used devices particularly in emerging markets.

Globally, 74% of consumers said they don't think about recycling their phones, despite the fact that around the same number, 72%, think recycling makes a difference to the environment. This was consistent across many different countries with 88% of people in Indonesia not considering recycling unwanted devices, 84% in India, and 78% of people in Brazil, Sweden, Germany and Finland.

The survey revealed that one of the main reasons why so few people recycle their mobile phones is because they simply don't know that it is possible to do so. In fact, up to 80% of any Nokia device is recyclable and precious materials within it can be reused to help make new products such as kitchen kettles, park benches, dental fillings or even saxophones and other metal musical instruments. Globally, half of those surveyed didn't know phones could be recycled like this, with awareness lowest in India at 17% and Indonesia at 29%, and highest in the UK at 80% and 66% in Finland and Sweden.

Mr Terho said, "Using the best recycling technology nothing is wasted. Between 65 - 80 per cent of a Nokia device can be recycled. Plastics that can't be recycled are burnt to provide energy for the recycling process, and other materials are ground up into chips and used as construction materials or for building roads. In this way nothing has to go to landfill."

Many people interviewed for the survey, even if they were aware that a device could be recycled, did not know how to go about doing this. Two thirds said they did not know how to recycle an unwanted device and 71% were unaware of where to do this.

Nokia has collection points for unwanted mobile devices in 85 countries around the world, the largest voluntary scheme in the mobile industry. People can drop off their old devices at Nokia stores and almost 5,000 Nokia Care Centers. To find their nearest take back point people can visit http://www.nokia.com/werecyle.

Responding to the survey findings Nokia is developing a series of campaigns and activities to give people more information on why, how and where to recycle their old and unwanted devices, chargers and mobile accessories. The company is also expanding its global take-back program by adding many more collection bins and promoting these in store to raise greater awareness.

Déclaration de Microsoft au sujet de la lettre de Carl Icahn

REDMOND, Washington, July 8 /PRNewswire/ --

Microsoft Corp. a émis aujourd'hui la déclaration suivante :

(Logo : http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

Au cours de la dernière semaine, nous avons eu l'occasion de discuter avec Carl Icahn de l'éventualité d'un accord entre Microsoft et Yahoo!.

Malgré tout le travail accompli depuis le 31 janvier dernier ainsi qu'au début de l'année précédente, nous n'avons jamais été en mesure de parvenir à un accord de façon opportune et selon des termes acceptables avec la direction et le conseil d'administration actuellement aux commandes de Yahoo!. Nous avons donc conclu qu'il nous était impossible de parvenir à un accord avec eux. Cependant, nous confirmons qu'au terme de l'élection par les actionnaires, Microsoft serait intéressée à entamer d'autres négociations avec un nouveau conseil au sujet d'une importante transaction avec Yahoo!, qu'il s'agisse d'une transaction visant à l'achat de la fonction << recherche >>, lequel achat serait accompagné d'importantes garanties financières ou, à titre subsidiaire, d'une transaction visant l'achat de l'ensemble de la société.

Comme M. Icahn le souligne dans sa déclaration, il serait actuellement prématuré de discuter de détails tels que le prix ou d'autres modalités d'une éventuelle transaction. Nous respectons le droit des actionnaires de Yahoo! pour ce qui est de déterminer l'avenir de leur société et nous n'avons aucunement l'intention de prendre part aux discussions actuelles à ce propos avant que n'ait eu lieu la réunion des actionnaires de Yahoo!.

Comme nous l'avons expliqué le 12 juin dernier, lors de l'annonce par Yahoo! de la conclusion d'un accord avec Google, nous pensons que l'acquisition et le partenariat de recherche que nous proposons auraient permis aux actionnaires de Yahoo! et à l'ensemble du marché de bénéficier d'une plus grande valeur. Notre position n'a pas changé, bien que nous poursuivions le développement de nos propres offres de recherche et de publicité en ligne. Par conséquent, nous sommes très heureux de l'intérÃªt exprimé par M. Icahn pour ce qui est de poursuivre ce processus et d'autres négociations.

Bien entendu, mÃªme si nous ne disposons d'aucune garantie quant à une transaction future, nous serons prÃªts à entreprendre les négociations dès la conclusion de la réunion des actionnaires de Yahoo! s'il y a élection d'un nouveau conseil.
