Next Inning Technology Updates Outlooks for EMC, Citrix Systems, Arris Group, and Harmonic

PRINCETON, N.J., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for EMC , Citrix Systems , Arris Group and Harmonic .

In a series of reports released in March, Editor Paul McWilliams advised readers it was time to buy specific tech stocks. His selections went up considerably with one very near doubling. However, in May and early June, he warned readers it was time to take some profits and prepare for the summer swoon he saw coming. Now that tech stocks have taken a significant hit, is it time to start buying again? Click to read his updated thoughts and enjoy a 21-day free trial of Next Inning:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn685

In response to member inquiries, McWilliams wrote: "The primary problem Arris has faced in recent quarters has been the emergence of competition in the E-MTA market, particularly at Comcast where Arris was the sole source provider prior to calendar Q4 2007. In its last quarterly conference call, Arris advised listeners that it expected the business to rebound in calendar Q2 and, consistent with my expectations, it evidently didn't..."

McWilliams also looks at these topics:

-- In the aftermath of VMWare's big plunge, how should investors look at EMC, which owns the majority of VMWare? Should investors now be wary of Citrix, another stock in the virtualization sector?

-- Is the situation at Arris as bad as the price now suggests? Might a buying opportunity have opened up?

-- Should Harmonic investors be concerned about the Arris revenue shortfall? Does McWilliams prefer Harmonic in the sector?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 224% since its inception versus 73% for the Nasdaq.

AT&T Offers Nation's Fastest 3G NetworkNation's Fastest 3G Network Complements Best Global Coverage and Industry-Leading Portfolio of 3G Devices

DALLAS, July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For customers who want access to blazing-fast wireless broadband service, there's one clear choice among all U.S. carriers. AT&T Inc. today announced it offers the nation's fastest third-generation (3G) network, according to data compiled by leading independent wireless research firms. AT&T's superfast 3G mobile broadband network is currently available in nearly 300 major U.S. metropolitan areas, with plans to expand to nearly 350 by the end of the year. In addition, AT&T has the best global coverage of any provider with roaming available in more than 200 countries, including more 3G roaming than any other carrier.

The fastest 3G network claim is based on a variety of tests conducted by leading third-party researchers, who downloaded a variety of applications and files to test throughput and overall performance. AT&T was the winner by a significant margin.

AT&T also announced it has started doubling the data capacity of its 3G markets, and nearly half of all cell sites will receive additional 3G capacity by the end of the year. The additional capacity will help accommodate the anticipated growth of 3G subscribers over the next several years. According to the Yankee Group, the number of 3G subscribers in the U.S. is expected to increase by 160 percent by 2012.

"We've invested billions of dollars in our 3G network, and now we can proudly claim it as the nation's fastest 3G network," said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO of AT&T's wireless unit. "We will continue to expand our 3G network coverage into new areas, grow our lineup of industry-leading devices, such as iPhone 3G, and deliver compelling new 3G services to market like Video Share(SM). And to top it off, only AT&T offers the best global coverage. AT&T's ability to serve its wireless customers is unparalleled in our industry."

Between 2005 and 2008, AT&T will have invested more than $20 billion in network improvements and upgrades -- an average of $5 billion a year. Much of this network investment has gone to build out the 3G broadband data network, which today is available in 296 major metropolitan markets. In addition, the company is deploying additional 3G coverage using 850 megahertz (MHz) spectrum that is now available from the recent sunset of its older TDMA network. This spectrum extends farther and better covers the interior of buildings.

In addition to the company's constant 3G expansion in the U.S., only AT&T can offer 3G data roaming in 60 countries, including Japan and South Korea, as well as voice calling in more than 200 countries. Nearly all devices in AT&T's current portfolio are "world phones" that can be used around the world.

Another advantage of AT&T's 3G network is the ability for customers to simultaneously use voice and data features. For example, customers can make a call while checking for a local address on YELLOWPAGES.COM.

Global Loyalty Marketing Company Unveils as LoyaltyOneNew Corporate Identity Reflects Evolution to Worldwide Provider of Loyalty ServicesLoyaltyOne to Target International Marketplace Opportunities

TORONTO, July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Canada's premier loyalty marketing company, operator of the renowned AIR MILES(R) Reward Program and other loyalty-based marketing services, today outlined its international growth strategy and unveiled a corporate name change to LoyaltyOne.

The newly branded company, formerly known as Alliance Data Loyalty Services, remains a wholly owned subsidiary of Alliance Data Systems Corporation . The new name underscores LoyaltyOne's expansion into the United States and other international markets in response to demand from corporate clients who want new marketing strategies that differentiate themselves from competitors, and who see a different approach, as well as a model for success in the AIR MILES coalition loyalty program.

The evolution of the name to LoyaltyOne culminates five years of internal growth and strategic acquisitions. It reflects the company's commitment to providing a full range of expert loyalty marketing services, including loyalty program design, partnership and coalition development, and other consulting services.

U.S. consumers are familiar with proprietary loyalty marketing programs from individual companies that offer reward points and miles. Fifty-seven percent of Americans participate in such programs. AIR MILES is the world's most successful coalition loyalty program, meaning it offers Canadians the opportunity to earn and redeem rewards from multiple businesses. A remarkable 86% of Canadians participate in loyalty programs.

"We are hearing more talk of coalition loyalty marketing in the U.S. than ever before, and that follows a global trend," said LoyaltyOne President Bryan Pearson. "Wherever the coalition model is dominant, as in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia or New Zealand, you see much higher customer participation and engagement. So, it's not just points, promotions and programs in the short term, our strategies drive long-term behavior change."

Spearheading LoyaltyOne's efforts into the United States will be Bruce Kerr, formerly Senior Vice President and Chief Client Officer, Alliance Data Loyalty Services and the AIR MILES Reward Program. Bruce brings over 20 years of executive-level customer management, data analytics and coalition loyalty marketing experience to his new role, with a specific focus on building successful corporate and brand partnerships for bottom-line growth.

Building on the success of 16-year-old AIR MILES, LoyaltyOne has acquired or launched five businesses in the past five years. They include COLLOQUY(R), a leading provider of loyalty marketing publishing, education and research; ICOM Information & Communications, operator of North America's largest consumer response database; Direct Antidote, a loyalty agency specializing in data-driven creative campaigns, and Precima, a recently launched advanced analytics firm that translates retail customer data into critical insights to better align marketing, merchandising and operations strategies with shopper needs.

The latest addition is newly launched LoyaltyOne Consulting, which applies the skills of experts from across the business to help companies assess, design and implement loyalty programs and successful customer strategies.

"Our acquisition and expansion strategy in recent years has aligned a group of top loyalty-related brands that are proving to be stronger and more successful as one than they ever could have been individually," Pearson said. "There is increasing U.S. and international market demand for leading companies that can integrate loyalty solutions and deliver measurable results from a customer management standpoint. Together with our sister company, Epsilon, a recognized leader in marketing services, LoyaltyOne's expansion in this space will further solidify Alliance Data's foothold in this arena. Each company's unique and distinct capabilities and experience complements and supports Alliance Data's mission to drive enterprise level customer management."

To celebrate its new corporate identity, LoyaltyOne is unveiling http://www.loyalty.com/ , a web site dedicated to providing original loyalty marketing content, including articles, essays, breaking news, research and information about industry conferences and events.

About LoyaltyOne, Inc.

LoyaltyOne is a global leader in the development and management of loyalty marketing strategies that profitably change customer behavior. Through a team of businesses, each specializing in a distinct loyalty discipline, LoyaltyOne designs, delivers and manages a complete suite of loyalty marketing capabilities. The companies include: LoyaltyOne Consulting, a group of practitioners with more than 25 years of experience designing and implementing customer strategies for Fortune 1000 clients; The AIR MILES(R) Reward Program, North America's premier coalition loyalty program; COLLOQUY(R) and colloquy.com, global provider of loyalty marketing publishing, education and research since 1990; ICOM Information & Communications L.P.; North America's leading supplier of targeted list, data communication solutions; Direct Antidote, a loyalty agency specializing in data-driven creative campaigns designed to deliver measurable results that inspire customer loyalty and return on investment; and Precima, an advanced analytics firm that translates retail customer data into critical insights to better align marketing, merchandising and operations with shopper needs.

Telestone Announces Strong Business Prospects for 2008 and 2009

BEIJING, July 10 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Telestone Technologies Corporation Ltd. ("Telestone" or "the company") , a leading developer and provider of wireless communication coverage solutions based in People's Republic of China, today announced its business expectations for 2008 and 2009.

Despite the anticipation of Telestone's domestic business being impacted by the Beijing Olympic Games to be held in August, in light of the Chinese telecom restructuring currently under way and the promotion plan for Telestone's new products, the Company believes that its 2008 full year revenues and net income will grow by at least 20% compared with that of 2007. With the telecom restructuring expected to be complete in 2009, Chinese telecom operators are expected to increase their capital expenditures in indoor coverage network and the Company therefore anticipates 2009 revenue increasing around 100% from that of 2008.

Mr. Han Daqing, Chairman and CEO of Telestone, commented,"The Chinese telecom restructuring and the future issuance of 3G licenses in China presents an excellent opportunity for Telestone's business development. With our advanced technologies, close relationships with the telecom operators in China and a strong management team, I believe Telestone will continue to demonstrate increasingly impressive progress in the future."

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

DEDHAM, Mass., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Norfolk County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases high-speed wireless data coverage and capacity along Sprague and Milton Streets in the Oakdale section of Dedham and the Readville section of Hyde Park, 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).

ClickSoftware's Mid-Market Move Gathers Momentum With Global VARs, CustomersClickSoftware's Comprehensive Field Service Management and Optimization Software for Mid-Sized Companies Delivers Affordability, Fast Deployment

HOUSTON, July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A bigger global sales channel, more customers and a growing need for comprehensive field service optimization software for mid-size service organizations are driving momentum for ClickSoftware for Installation, Maintenance and Repair Services (ClickIMRS), announced ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. today at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. This momentum underscores ClickSoftware's commitment to delivering automated decision support and optimization technology that helps service organizations with anywhere from 20 to 500 mobile resources boost productivity, increase revenues and cut costs.

ClickIMRS is the industry's first affordable, comprehensive field service management and optimization software that can be deployed in less than 70 days. Previously, mid-sized companies with up to 500 field resources were forced to choose between rudimentary manual/paper-based systems that often led to scheduling problems and enterprise software they couldn't afford. ClickIMRS bridges the gap, enabling these companies to increase jobs per day, ensure on-time arrival, reduce time per job, minimize travel, respond to emergencies more efficiently and strengthen customer relationships.

A growing list of authorized ClickSoftware channel partners, including Diabsolut Inc., Aspective, Green Beacon and TSI have recognized the gap in the market that ClickIMRS addresses and are selling and implementing this solution. "The market is ripe for ClickIMRS as mid-sized companies have struggled to increase their customers' satisfaction and loyalty while sustaining growth and profitability," said Joe Diab, president and CEO of Diabsolut. "ClickSoftware has broken new ground with software that deploys quickly and easily, and fits within these companies' budgets."

Pre-configured for mid-sized companies

Because of the size of their service operations, large companies often customize the integration of ClickSoftware's ServiceOptimization Suite with their complex infrastructures, which can extend deployment time. ClickIMRS deploys in 70 days because it comes pre-configured to help mid-sized companies improve key performance indicators (KPIs) such as on-time arrivals and reduced customer complaints. Essentially, ClickIMRS enables mid-size service organizations to use best-in-class service optimization tools.

"The big advantage ClickIMRS has over other solutions is that it delivers out-of-the-box automated scheduling that mid-sized companies have long needed," said Steven Carr, president of TSI, ClickSoftware's newest reseller. "Providing dispatchers with real-time information to make smart scheduling decisions will help these companies deliver on their service promises to customers."

Some of the key features of ClickIMRS include: - pre-configured scheduling application with online and optimization capabilities; - online appointment booking optimization; - street-level routing geographic information system (GIS) solution; - re-configured reporting based on most critical KPIs; - business-oriented configuration so companies can tune the system to their needs; - expedited data import utilities to speed deployment; - order management module that creates work orders from customer calls and works with scheduling application to match a technician and time to each customer call; and, - standard integration plug-ins for leading CRM and enterprise resource planning solutions.

"For more than 10 years, we've developed an expertise in selling and deploying complex workforce optimization solutions for the enterprise. We recognized, however, that to be successful in the huge mid-market sector we needed a product and a go-to-market approach that could address the typical attributes and acquisition/deployment habits of these companies: limited budgets, small windows for deployment and a need for robust workforce management software," said ClickSoftware COO Hannan Carmeli. "ClickIMRS fits the need, and our channel go-to-market strategy proves attractive to Customers and candidate partners alike. We are extremely encouraged by the market response to this latest initiative."

About ClickSoftware

ClickSoftware is the leading provider of mobile workforce management and service optimization solutions that create business value for service operations through higher levels of productivity, customer satisfaction and cost effectiveness. Combining educational, implementation and support services with best practices and its industry-leading solutions, ClickSoftware drives service decision making across all levels of the organization.

Canada Leads World in Online Banking UsageBank of Montreal Sites Achieves Fastest Visitor Growth during Past Year

TORONTO, July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- comScore, Inc. , a leader in measuring the digital world, today released a report on the Canadian online banking sector showing that Canada is one of the world's most developed markets for online banking. "Canadians are typically very savvy Internet users, a fact that is underscored by their heavy usage of online banking," said Brent Bernie, president of comScore Media Metrix, comScore Canada. "But because the Canadian online banking sector is so developed and competition already so fierce, banks need to closely examine how they are meeting the needs of their consumers online if they are to achieve customer growth and retention through this increasingly important channel."

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080115/COMSCORELOGO) Some key facts that highlight Canadians' heavy usage of online banking:

-- Of the 37 global markets individually-reported by comScore, Canada ranked number one in adoption of online banking, with 67.1 of Canadian Internet users banking online in April 2008. Other English-speaking countries had significantly lower penetration, including the U.K. (49.5 percent), U.S. (44.4 percent), and Australia (41.7 percent).

-- Canadians also led the world in online banking frequency, with an average of 8 usage days and 10.5 online banking visits per visitor in April.

-- Canadians spent an average of 46 minutes on banking sites in April, viewing approximately 121 pages per visitor.

Bank of Montreal Sites Sees Strong Gains

Of the nearly 24 million Canadian Internet users, 15.5 million visited a banking site in April. RBC Financial group led the category with 4.6 million visitors, followed by TD Bank Financial Group with 4.5 million visitors and Bank of Montreal Sites with 3 million visitors. Among those banks in the top 10, Bank of Montreal Sites experienced the greatest increase in visitation during the past year, growing 22 percent.

* Excludes traffic from public computers such as Internet cafes or access from mobile phones or PDAs.

45-54 Year Olds are Heaviest Online Bankers

A demographic profile of the visitors to the online banking category reveals that while the percent of consumers using online banking services is generally higher among younger age segments, the frequency of usage is slightly higher among older age segments. Highlighting the generational gap that exists among users of online baking, approximately 74 percent of those between the ages of 25-44 use online banking services compared to 63 percent among those age 55 and older.

As an age group that often confronts financial challenges, including retirement planning and paying for their kids' university education, 45-54 year olds represent a particularly important age segment for online banking. The segment shows both high penetration (73 percent) and the heaviest frequency in usage (12 visits and 157 pages per visitor per month).

* Excludes traffic from public computers such as Internet cafes or access from mobile phones or PDAs

Reaching Light Users of Online Banking Services

Light users of online banking accounted for 32.3 percent of Canada's online population in April, according to the comScore Segment Metrix H/M/L service, which provides analysis of online activity by heavy, medium and light users of the Internet and specific site categories. Light online bankers represent an opportune target for banks seeking new customers since they may be more easily enticed to switch brands through incentive offers than heavier users who are more highly engaged in their banks' sites and theoretically, more brand loyal.

For a marketer to efficiently reach their desired target audience when allocating online advertising dollars, comScore Segment Metrix helps identify sites on the Internet where the marketer can find higher than normal concentrations of their desired target. Categories of sites that attract a higher than normal concentration of light online bankers include car rental sites which have a composition of 37.4 percent of light online banking users versus the overall Internet composition of 32.3 percent, followed by personal finance sites (36.6 percent), and gay/lesbian sites (36.1 percent).
