MicroTCA Is Ready to Follow ATCA, Survey FindsSince component and systems costs have dropped, MicroTCA can decrease costs for medium- and high-volume applications, says Light Reading's Components Insider

NEW YORK, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Micro Telecom Computing Architecture (MicroTCA) can reduce the development cost and time to market for medium- and high-volume applications, due to the cost of components and systems dropping with integrated solutions and cost-optimized designs, according to results of a new report published by Light Reading's Components Insider (http://www.lightreading.com/commchip), a paid research service of TechWeb's Light Reading (http://www.lightreading.com/).

"MicroTCA is set for significant growth over the next one to two years. Successful vendors will be those that deliver the right tradeoffs in terms of cost, performance, and availability."

System integrators report many new MicroTCA-based telecom systems in development, and the platform is drawing interest from industrial and military/aerospace equipment manufacturers, Stanley says.

Cellfire Adds Safeway to its National Digital Grocery Coupon ProgramDuring Tough Economy, Consumers Can Save On Groceries Using Their Mobile Phone or Computer

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Cellfire Inc. today announced the expansion of its nationwide digital grocery coupon program, adding Safeway , one of the largest grocery providers in the country. As the leading digital coupon publisher, Cellfire digital grocery coupons are now available via mobile phone or computer, and redeemable at more than 1,500 Safeway stores nationwide under the banners of Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Dominick's, Genuardi's and Safeway.

"Shoppers are spending more and more time online and we see electronic coupons loaded to their shopper card as a way to better serve our customers," said Michelle Marian, Vice President Interactive Marketing, Safeway Inc. "As Safeway launches the new couponLink program, we're excited to partner with Cellfire to offer our customers a unique way to save at our stores and online. Also, our customers who shop online at Safeway.com can now use the digital coupons, which are a new and exciting option for them."

With the addition of Safeway, Cellfire bolsters its current distribution channels throughout the supermarket sector. Cellfire's strong relationships with leading consumer product manufacturers such as Colgate Palmolive, General Mills, Kimberly-Clark, and Unilever allow consumers to save on dozens of their favorite brands and for Safeway, help increase basket size and frequency to the store. High-value discounts are offered on numerous top products each month with Cellfire issuing new grocery offers every two weeks.

To start saving money, consumers can register for Cellfire at http://www.cellfire.com/ browsed and selected on the phone, or from any PC at cellfire.com or at the coupon section of safeway.com and its banner Web sites. The coupons selected are immediately loaded to the grocery savings card, and applied automatically to the appropriate items in the shopping basket at checkout. The discounts are also shown directly on users' receipts.

"During this recession, there is no better time to offer coupons and do so in an effective and efficient way to help grocery stores drive traffic and build affinity," said Brent Dusing, CEO of Cellfire. "We expect more grocery chains to make the same decision that Safeway has -- to marry the most popular device of the 21st century, the mobile phone, with the most popular place coupons are used, the grocery store."

"With Cellfire experiencing redemption rates as high as 15 to 20 percent compared to less than one percent of paper coupons, mobile coupons have the power to reach consumers and drive them to interact and ultimately transact with brands," added Dusing.

Consumers access the Cellfire digital coupon service through an easy-to-use application that resides on their cell phone, through a mobile Web browser or from any computer. New offers are added frequently and users can access the Cellfire service at their convenience to discover and use discounts specific to their geographic area. Coupons are displayed in an organized manner, allowing consumers to navigate through coupons by category and select the offers they want to use.

Diebold's Latest Cash Acceptance Innovation Takes Deposit Automation to the Next Level Through Improved Efficiency and Ease of ServiceEnhanced Note Acceptor expands offerings, helps financial institutions reach broader customer base

NORTH CANTON, Ohio, June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Diebold, Incorporated is launching the latest innovation in its family of deposit automation solutions with the newly developed Enhanced Note Acceptor (ENA), a cash-accepting device for automated teller machines (ATMs). Designed in-house, Diebold's ENA technology continues a company tradition that began in the early 1990s of introducing to the industry deposit automation innovations that deliver a high-quality transaction experience and help reduce operating costs across the self-service channel. Representing the industry's leading self-service technologies, Diebold's deposit automation solutions include cash recycling, Intelligent Depository Module(TM), ImageWay(R) and the Bulk Note Acceptor.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080725/DIEBOLDLOGO )

According to a recent Retail Banking Research (RBR) study, deposit automation is one of the fastest growing new banking technologies because it offers the multiple conveniences and advanced functionality customers want. RBR reported that the number of deposit-automated ATMs across 26 countries has more than quadrupled since 2003 to more than 96,000 at the end of 2007. The study predicts market demand will continue to grow to as many as 670,000 deposit-automated units deployed by 2018.

Diebold leveraged its strong deposit automation experience and technology expertise to design the ENA to deliver such improvements as simplified servicing and ease of operation. The ENA enables the deposit of up to 50 mixed-denomination notes in an easy, envelope-free transaction that authenticates and validates deposits, quickly and accurately. Diebold designed the ENA with a user-friendly interface for a streamlined customer experience. The ENA module further enhances the flexibility of Diebold's full-function Opteva(R) terminals and is offered as a standard feature or as an onsite field upgrade.

"The ENA's proprietary design, which features superior reliability, is a direct result of input from our customers, Diebold's technicians in the field as well as our cash-in-transit service partners, to ensure this module meets financial institutions' most critical needs," said Charles E. Ducey, Jr., senior vice president, global development and services, Diebold. "As an important addition to our total deposit automation solution, Diebold's ENA design is grounded in years of deposit automation and technology expertise to offer financial institutions a higher return on investment by boosting operational efficiencies."

For financial institutions, Diebold's ENA delivers the multiple advantages of envelope-free deposit automation technology, including the efficiencies realized from migrating routine transactions to the ATM and away from the teller line. Moreover, adopting technology that accepts deposits without an envelope helps eliminate empty-envelope and closed-account fraud, while delivering a teller-like transaction experience to consumers. ENA helps fulfill an essential global market need for regions with moderate-volume cash-deposit activity and benefits both consumer and business customers.

Diebold, Incorporated is a global leader in providing integrated self-service delivery and security systems and services. Diebold employs more than 17,000 associates with representation in nearly 90 countries worldwide and is headquartered in Canton, Ohio, USA.

ET/PTwww.michaelandmichaelhaveissues.com Features Blogs, Tweets, Video Updates, Messages From The "Michaels," Original Drawings And Exclusive Videos, Reviews Of New Episodes, Video Highlights After Each Premier Episode

NEW YORK, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- BFF's or worst enemies? Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter banter and bicker in their new COMEDY CENTRAL series "Michael & Michael Have Issues" debuting Wednesday, July 15 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.

"Michael & Michael Have Issues" stars Black and Showalter in a new twist on narrative and sketch comedies that features the long-time comedic partners as the hosts of their own fictitious sketch show. In the seven episode series, sketches will be interspersed throughout the narrative thread of each episode. Behind-the-scenes of the show-within-a-show, viewers will get a first hand look at issues, both big (in an attempt to broaden their appeal, the guys turn their show into a frat house spectacle) and small (the two Michaels fight over the approval of a teenage intern writing an article about them for his high school newspaper) that the two misguided stars wrestle with as they confront their own issues of insecurity and jealousy as each attempts to undermine the other. Other issues in the series include roommate rivalry when the "Michaels" secure a college gig, playing Cupid for an unlucky-in-love co-worker and what birthday gift to give the boss who has everything.

Credits for "Michael & Michael Have Issues" include Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, Jim Biederman ("Whitest Kids U Know," "I'm With Busey") and Lou Wallach as executive producers and Jim Sharp and Christina Lee as executives in charge of production for COMEDY CENTRAL.

Viewers can log onto http://www.michaelandmichaelhaveissues.com/ and follow along with Michael and Michael online as they use their blog, tweets and videos to find new ways to do what they do best -- get on each other's nerves. Black and Showalter and members of the cast and crew provide updates from the set along with messages and thoughts from the "Michaels," as well as original drawings and videos. Each week, the site will feature video previews of new episodes, video highlights of some favorite moments immediately after each episode premieres and exclusive videos from the duo. Fans will also be able to test their smarts with a great new "Michael & Michael Have Issues" word game. For viewers on the go, "Michael & Michael Have Issues" will be available on their mobile phones with a Web site, streaming video and blogs.

Michael Ian Black's career began with "The State," a sketch comedy troupe he co-founded at NYU in 1988 and aired on MTV. He co-created and starred in "Viva Variety" and "Stella" for COMEDY CENTRAL, is a frequent contributor to VH1's "I Love the..." series and also tours regularly as a stand-up comic. Black wrote and directed the feature film, "Wedding Daze," as well as writing "Run Fat Boy Run." His first stand-up CD, "I Am a Wonderful Man," was released in 2007 and his first book of humorous essays, My Custom Van (and 50 Other Mind-Blowing Essays That Will Blow Your Mind All Over Your Face) came out in 2008. He is also the author of Chicken Cheeks, a children's book set to be released this year.

Michael Showalter was a founding member of the sketch comedy troupe, "The State," which ran for three seasons on MTV. He is a member of "Stella" and starred in the COMEDY CENTRAL series, along with Michael Ian Black and David Wain. He co-wrote, co-produced and starred in the cult comedy "Wet Hot American Summer." He directed, wrote and starred in the IFC FiILMS romantic comedy, "The Baxter," co-starring Michelle Williams and Elizabeth Banks.

This unique new product, "LodgeNet IPTV+", joins the power of a computer with the convenience of television, and delivers a rich new user experience that combines Apple's industry leading graphics capabilities and applications support with LodgeNet's proven content management and delivery solutions.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080115/AQTU120LOGO)

LodgeNet IPTV+ presents hoteliers with an entirely new set of capabilities to create compelling in-room interactive experiences, and provides an exceptional new opportunity to communicate brand messages to their guests, deliver entertainment, present hotel information, and even support the sale of hotel products and services through in-room technology. Leveraging the capabilities of both the Apple(R) Mac mini and LodgeNet's HDTV technology, this new solution provides access to a broad selection of on demand entertainment content and programming, offers an Interactive Programming Guide with new content search features, supports delivery of TV- and Web-based entertainment and provides a platform for the development of next-generation interactive applications.

In addition to the unique new capabilities that the solution will provide in its base configuration, LodgeNet IPTV+ offers hoteliers the option to create a variety of customized applications which can be developed upon request. LodgeNet will work with hoteliers to design specific features and services that meet their unique needs, and will work in partnership to develop these custom solutions and integrate them with property level systems. Specific opportunities for new development include branded graphics packages, custom content and programming, and integrated applications such as in-room dining, spa and golf booking, and integration to marketing programs.

To maximize the opportunities provided by the Mac mini platform, LodgeNet has designed the solution to leverage Apple's Core Animation Technology as well as the processing power of the new NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor. This design enables LodgeNet IPTV+ to provide compelling new user experiences including robust animated effects and extensive image and video layering features. Also, by choosing the new Mac mini as part of its solution, LodgeNet is offering its customers an environmentally friendly solution for in-room processing that meets the EPA's new Energy Start 5.0 specification, and which features a new energy-saving function that consumes less than 13 watts in idle mode.

"LodgeNet IPTV+ is designed specifically for hoteliers who want to create differentiated guest experiences that are as unique as their properties," said Scott E. Young, President of Hospitality for LodgeNet. "Also, LodgeNet IPTV+ provides a great solution for hotels that want to ensure that their in-room technology solutions are environmentally responsible," he added. "The power of the Mac mini in the guest room, coupled with LodgeNet's proven and reliable content delivery capabilities, creates a new solution that offers a distinctive look and feel, and provides new functionality and performance that we believe is superior to any other interactive TV platform available today."

The LodgeNet IPTV+ solution will be compatible with the new LodgeNet360TM product, which offers customers the option to contract with LodgeNet to provide a converged service for media and connectivity technology (Free-To-Guest, Interactive TV, Broadband, Telephony, Digital Signage and In-Room Integration) running on a single IP network.

DIA Annual Meeting Attendees Invited to Participate in Electronic Data Capture (EDC) Clinical Trial SurveyeClinical Forum partners with TechTeam Global to complete important new

SAN DIEGO, June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Attendees at the 45th Annual Meeting of the Drug Information Association (DIA), held June 21-25 in San Diego, Calif., will have a chance to respond to an in-depth, global survey of investigational site experience with eClinical trial technologies.

TechTeam Global, Inc. , a worldwide provider of information technology outsourcing and business process outsourcing services, is facilitating the survey in partnership with the eClinical Forum. Members of the eClinical Forum and numerous other collaborating associations have invited site staff involved in clinical trials to participate in this global and system-independent survey. DIA Annual Meeting attendees can participate by visiting Booth 2209 on the conference show floor.

This survey will provide valuable insight into trends regarding use of eClinical technologies. It is the first update in seven years to a report on EDC use in clinical trials published in July 2001. At that time, it was reported that:

-- 52 percent of survey respondents had experience with EDC. Within that group, 44 percent of clinical trials used EDC. -- The majority of patient data was still entered traditionally in paper patient records, with only 14 percent of data entered directly in electronic case report forms (eCRF). -- 69 percent of investigators said EDC would positively affect their decision to participate in trials.

Other organizations participating in the 2009 survey include Data Management Biomedical (DMB), Association for Clinical Data Management (ACDM), ARCS Australia Ltd and Der Fachverband fur Berufstatige in der Medizinischen Dokumentation (DVMD).

Professor Dr. Paul Gemmel from the University of Ghent, Department of Management, Innovation and Entrepreneurship is supervising the survey and will validate its methodology and statistical relevance. TechTeam is scheduled to announce the survey's findings in a webinar on October 12, 2009.

NI Technology Research Identifies Targets for Tech Sector Consolidation

PRINCETON, N.J., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for NetApp , EMC , Data Domain , 3PAR , Isilon Systems , Quantum , FalconStor Software , Symantec and SanDisk .

Editor Paul McWilliams has helped his subscribers generate huge returns on undervalued tech stocks in 2009. Out of the 80 stocks highlighted in his Undervalued Tech Stocks reports, 21 have produced returns in excess of 70% year to date. All of these were ranked as either good "strategic" or "speculative" buys. The average return for all stocks ranked as either "speculative" or "strategic" buys was 40.7%, better than twice the return of stocks he thought readers should avoid.

McWilliams now turns his attention to consolidation activity in the tech sector. With several deals announced in the last few weeks and other major tech companies actively seeking acquisitions, McWilliams identifies potential winners, including companies that could be acquired at significant premiums.

To read McWilliams' consolidation report, as well as his State of Tech series that is designed to prepare investors for the July earnings season, please accept our invitation to take a free 21-day, no risk test drive with Next Inning by visiting the following link:

https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn835 McWilliams covers these topics and more in his most recent report:

-- Why are both NetApp and EMC battling for Data Domain? What is particularly valuable about Data Domain's data deduplication technology?

-- What other companies have data deduplication technology similar to that of Data Domain and thus may be the target of larger companies looking to strengthen their positions in this sector?

-- Could Isilon and 3PAR fill a niche at a larger player in the storage space?

-- Why has Quantum not moved higher in sympathy with Data Domain? What factors will determine Quantum's appeal to a potential acquirer?

-- Why might FalconStor be an "easy fit" for any of the leading storage and deduplication players looking for an acquisition?

-- Is Symantec likely to be an acquirer or a target of a larger firm?

-- Is activity in the enterprise storage space set to create a more favorable balance of supply and demand for SanDisk?

Verizon High Speed Internet Experience Better Than Ever With Broadband Deals That Offer Cool Electronic DevicesCompaq Mini Netbook or Flip Ultra Camcorder Free to Qualifying Customers Who Choose Voice and High Speed Internet Bundles; Price Guarantee Extended for Non-Bundled High Speed Internet Service

NEW YORK, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers looking for the utmost reliability and value in broadband bundles can now choose Verizon's latest super-fast connections of up-to-3 Mbps (megabits per second) or up-to-7.1 Mbps High Speed Internet bundle offers and get gear to take full advantage of the service.

Under a new offer from Verizon, qualifying new voice and broadband customers get either a Compaq Mini netbook* (valued at $299) or a Flip Ultra(TM) camcorder (valued at $149.99) -- two of the most popular electronic devices on the market today.

"Consumers get our highly reliable High Speed Internet service, which is perfect for surfing the Web, e-mailing, and sending and receiving large amounts of data," said Susan Retta, Verizon vice president of consumer product management. "With Internet service, they also get a winning combination of all-digital-quality DIRECTV(R) service, and unlimited local and long-distance phone service delivered on our 99.9 percent reliable network. To make it irresistible, we're offering hot electronics that customers can use to get the most out of their new High Speed Internet service."

To encourage even more consumers to leave their cable provider and select Verizon, the company announced Monday (June 22) the launch of a compelling new promotional offer: New customers who select voice and High Speed Internet service and sign up for a one-year, double- or triple-play bundle that includes either the up-to-3 Mbps/768 kilobits per second (Kbps) or up-to-7.1 Mbps/768 Kbps** service will receive their choice of a free Compaq Mini netbook or Flip Ultra camcorder.

Existing Verizon voice customers who add either the up-to-3 or up-to-7.1 Mbps High Speed Internet service will receive their choice of a Compaq Mini netbook for $99.99 or a free Flip Ultra camcorder.

Verizon also announced on Monday higher FiOS Internet speeds and a similar camcorder and netbook incentive offer for new FiOS customers. See companion release.

"In addition, this new offer provides additional incentives for consumers, particularly cable company customers, to sign up with Verizon," Retta said. "The offer enables consumers to use their Compaq Mini netbook or Flip Ultra camcorder on the road, around town or anywhere on campus."

Triple-play bundles that qualify for Verizon's new promotion start at $99.99 per month for one year, while qualifying double-play bundles start at $69.99 per month. Features of the Compaq Mini netbook include:

-- 10.1-inch diagonal widescreen display. -- One-inch-thick, 2.35-pound design that fits in a backpack, briefcase or purse. -- Intel Atom(TM) processor. -- Windows XP Home operating system. Features of the Flip Ultra camcorder include: -- Pocket-size design with one-touch recording and digital zoom. -- Up to 120 minutes of high-quality video. -- 4GB of built-in memory. -- Two-inch anti-glare screen. -- Built-in USB arm for direct connection to PC or Mac. -- Pre-loaded FlipShare(TM) software that allows easy video organizing, editing and e-mailing, along with simple upload to social media sites such as YouTube(TM) and MySpace(TM).

More information about the Flip Ultra is available at http://www.theflip.com/. To obtain high-resolution images of the camcorder and netbook, visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/34800970@N05/sets/72157619967114676/ or http://verizon.mediaseed.tv/Story.aspx?story=36771.

Additionally, Verizon will continue to offer its price guarantee for non-bundled High Speed Internet service (up to 1, 3 or 7.1 Mbps speeds), ranging from $17.99 per month to $39.99 per month with a two-year agreement. Pricing will remain the same for customers as long as they continue on the same High Speed Internet service plan and retain local voice service.

Verizon High Speed Internet, which uses digital subscriber line technology, is the company's most widely available form of broadband data service. More than 25 million households in parts of 24 states and the District of Columbia can order the service. Verizon High Speed Internet subscribers are not subject to bandwidth caps that some Internet service providers assess, so there's no penalty for heavy usage.

According to PC Magazine's 2008 readers' survey, Verizon High Speed Internet beat the average cable provider's score in reliability, the likelihood of a customer choosing an Internet service provider, as well as the associated costs and fees for the service.

Verizon High Speed Internet customers also receive access to an extensive portfolio of value-added services, including 250 MB (megabytes) of free Verizon Online Backup and Sharing, which provides useful disaster-recovery support.

The company's popular Verizon Internet Security Suite provides comprehensive online protection from spyware and viruses for as little as $5.99 a month and includes a firewall, parental control, a pop-up-blocker and privacy manager software to help keep customers safe from hackers and phishing attacks.

Customers can also obtain a combination offer of Verizon Online Backup and Sharing and Verizon Internet Security Suite for $8.99 per month.

In addition, customers can protect their home-entertainment and communications investments by subscribing to a comprehensive suite of device protection plans such as Protection Pak Enhanced, which, in cases of a malfunction, covers the repair or replacement of all eligible computers, telephones and TVs in a customer's home, regardless of the device's place of purchase or age. Coverage is less than $1 a day.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Awards Lockheed Martin Biometric Card Scanning Service Contract

ROCKVILLE, Md., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has awarded Lockheed Martin a five-year, $47 million contract to continue managing the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division's Card Scanning Service (CSS) program. The contract covers the conversion of paper fingerprint, palm print and photo records into high-quality electronic records for the FBI.

Records processed through this program are submitted by state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies and used to populate the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) database, a national fingerprint and criminal history system maintained by the FBI CJIS Division. With this new contract, the FBI will also be able to automatically process paper fingerprint records submitted by foreign law enforcement agencies.

"We're proud to continue our decade-long partnership with the FBI on the Card Scanning Service program," said Barbara Humpton, vice president, Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Services. "Having secure, accessible records is a vital element in the Bureau's ability to take quick and decisive actions for citizen safety. This new system will significantly improve how the FBI accesses traditional fingerprints as well as palm print and photo records."

"This card scanning service contract will aid the FBI in establishing a more complete and up-to-date criminal history record in support of law enforcement and criminal justice efforts, while creating employment opportunities in West Virginia," added FBI CJIS Division Acting Assistant Director Jerome M. Pender.

Operations for the program will take place primarily in Fairmont, WV, with support from several small business partners across the country, including West Virginia-based IMTS; Communications Resource, Incorporated (CRI), a woman-owned small disadvantaged business located in McLean, Va.; Massachusetts-based Aware, Inc.; and BancTec, headquartered in Dallas, TX.

Eventually, the records processed through the CSS program will populate the FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) program. NGI will further advance the FBI's biometric identification services, providing an incremental replacement of current IAFIS technical capabilities while also introducing new functionality. Lockheed Martin is the lead industry partner on the NGI program.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 146,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2008 sales of $42.7 billion.

Verizon Amps Up FiOS Internet With Increased Two-Way Speeds and Launches Free Netbook/Camcorder PromotionVerizon Fast is 'Two-Way' Fast With Upstream Speeds That Optimize Today's Interactive, Multimedia Internet Experiences

NEW YORK, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon FiOS continues creating the ultimate broadband and home-entertainment experience by introducing on Monday (June 22) new, faster broadband speeds -- both downstream and upstream -- for the most popular FiOS Internet services. The company is also offering compelling incentives for consumers to subscribe to FiOS. New customers who order qualifying FiOS bundles are eligible for a free Compaq Mini netbook* or a Flip Ultra(TM) camcorder.

"From its inception just five years ago, Verizon FiOS has transformed the American broadband and home-entertainment experience by delivering innovative services that our competitors can't match," said Mike Ritter, chief marketing officer for Verizon Telecom. "Today FiOS leaps forward again with faster two-way broadband speed options that free customers to fully participate in today's interactive, multimedia Web."

Verizon is doubling to quadrupling the upstream connection speeds and increased the downstream connection speeds of its most popular FiOS Internet offerings. The company has raised the connection speed of its entry-level FiOS Internet service from 10/2 megabits per second (Mbps) to 15/5 Mbps, and has raised the connection speed of its flagship, mid-tier offering from 20/5 Mbps to 25/15 Mbps. In New York City, on Long Island and in other New York City suburbs, FiOS Internet is even faster with a new entry-level connection speed of 25/15 Mbps, and a new mid-tier offering of 35/20 Mbps, available only in bundles.

According to a survey of residential broadband users in the U.S. by the market intelligence firm In-Stat ("US Broadband Speeds on the Rise," In-Stat, Feb. 2009), the average upstream connection speed used by cable broadband customers is 2.68 Mbps. Verizon is offering speeds two-to-seven times faster than this typical cable upload speed.

"From grade-schoolers to grandparents, no one wants to wait for long uploads any more than they want to wait for long downloads," said Ritter. "Verizon has good news for people who want to enjoy interactive applications like video chat, quickly back up their hard drives, upload photos and videos to e-mail and social networking sites, or send large files to co-workers or clients: The ultra-fast downstream and upstream speed you need every day is here. It's widely available, affordably priced, and there are no artificial limits placed on how much you can use."

Using a 20 Mbps upstream broadband connection, a consumer could upload 200 photos in about 90 seconds, a 20-minute high-def video in less than 7 minutes and a one-hour HD movie in about 20 minutes. (Listen to photographer and educator Kathy Halamka on why fast FiOS connections are important to her.)

New Promotion Provides Powerful Incentives

To encourage even more customer defections from cable to FiOS TV and Internet services, Verizon has also launched a compelling new promotional offer.

New customers who sign up for a triple bundle that consists of FiOS Internet with a connection speed of 25/15 Mbps or higher, FiOS TV Extreme HD service and FiOS Essentials voice service will receive their choice of a free Compaq Mini netbook* valued at $299.99 (customer only pays shipping, handling and taxes) or a free Flip Ultra camcorder, valued at $149.99.

New customers who order a triple bundle that consists of FiOS Internet with a connection speed of 15/5 Mbps or higher, FiOS TV Essentials service and Freedom Essentials voice service will receive a free Flip Ultra camcorder, or they can opt to purchase a Compaq Mini netbook* for just $99.99.

Verizon also announced on Monday the continuation of its price guarantee for stand-alone, DSL-based High Speed Internet -- and a similar camcorder and netbook incentive offer for customers. See companion news release for more details.

"A free netbook or camcorder is the perfect companion to the amped-up speed of FiOS Internet," said Ritter. "With faster downstream and unparalleled upstream connections, plus the latest in cool electronics, FiOS Internet customers can explore the unlimited possibilities of a fully interactive online experience."

FiOS Internet also provides a gateway to other valuable Verizon services, including a suite of Internet security measures, premium technical support and backup and sharing.

Bundle pricing varies by market and starts at $99.99 for triple bundles and $79.99 for double bundles. Both double and triple bundles require a one-year service agreement; however, customers will receive a two-year price guarantee.

New and existing FiOS customers can opt to subscribe to the new services by calling Verizon at 888-GET-FiOS. For more information about FiOS, visit http://www.verizon.com/seefios.

Features of the Compaq Mini netbook include: -- 10.1-inch diagonal widescreen display. -- Lightweight, one-inch-thick design that conveniently fits in backpack, briefcase or purse. -- Intel Atom(TM) processor. -- Windows XP Home operating system. Features of the Flip Ultra(TM) camcorder include: -- Pocket-size design with one-touch recording and digital zoom. -- Up to 120 minutes of high-quality video. -- 4GB of built-in memory. -- Two-inch anti-glare screen. -- Built-in USB arm for direct connection to PC or Mac. -- Pre-loaded FlipShare(TM) software that allows easy video organizing, editing and emailing, along with simple upload to social media sites such as YouTube(TM) and MySpace(TM).

Verizon Launches FiOS1 Channels on Long Island and in Northern New JerseyVerizon FiOS Brings Consumers an Exciting, New Source for Hyper-Local Content With News, Sports, Traffic, Weather and So Much MoreNew Channels Arrive as Verizon Offers Great New Bundles and Promotions, Including Offers for Free Netbook Computers or Camcorders

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting Monday (June 22), Verizon FiOS TV subscribers on Long Island in New York and in nine counties in northern New Jersey have exciting new choices for local information, entertainment and sports on two new channels called FiOS1.

FiOS1 Long Island and FiOS1 New Jersey will bring viewers compelling new options for hyper-local content that includes news, regular traffic and weather reports, and other programming. And the channels won't be found on cable TV.

"FiOS1 Long Island and FiOS1 New Jersey are all about the communities. These FiOS1 channels will redefine the delivery of truly local information about people, news and what's going on in those areas," said Michael Ritter, chief marketing officer for Verizon Telecom. "With industry-leading partners and a cutting-edge and energized team of mobile journalists, or Mo-Jos, we plan to bring FiOS TV subscribers the type of programming that matters most -- targeted, timely and tailored for local communities."

(NOTE: Verizon will hold a conference call/webcast today about this announcement. See details later in this release.)

FiOS1 - Great Local Programming and More, From Verizon

With partners including the North Shore - LIJ Health System and other producers on Long Island, and The Star Ledger/NJ.com, NJN Public Television, Emmy Award-winning TV host and Star-Ledger columnist Steve Adubato and others in New Jersey, FiOS1 will bring viewers a vast array of programming tied directly to the communities where it is offered. The Regional News Network (RNN) is providing news and production functions.

FiOS1 on Long Island will offer "My Long Island," a program focused on people sharing their living and working experiences on the island. A magazine show called "Push-Pause" will feature fully produced, in-depth stories about local activities, events and people.

Sports will also play a major role. Both FiOS1 Long Island and FiOS1 New Jersey will feature high school games of the week. In addition to airing some of the best high school football, basketball and lacrosse games in the region, the channels plan to air other sports including fencing, bowling and wrestling. FiOS1 New Jersey will also carry several Rutgers University sports including at least three women's basketball games.

The Star-Ledger will co-produce televised high school sporting events with FiOS1 New Jersey. This combined programming will highlight some of the best high school athletic events in the state, including a game of the week and various conference and state championship games.

"The Star-Ledger and NJ.com have had a long-standing commitment to provide the most robust coverage of high school sports in New Jersey," said George Arwady, publisher of The Star-Ledger. "This arrangement with Verizon FiOS1 will dramatically increase the televised and Web presentation of New Jersey high school sports. This is good for students and their families, as well as the schools and the state interscholastic athletic association."

Terry Denson, vice president of content strategy and acquisition for Verizon, said: "We want to be the source for information, sports and innovative programming. Our goal is to be the channel of choice for Long Island and northern New Jersey FiOS TV subscribers. We're looking to bring them the news, events and issues that matter most in their city or town."

A video preview of Verizon's FiOS1 channels on Long Island and in North Jersey can be found at http://verizon.mediaseed.tv/Story.aspx?story=36772.

Viewers must subscribe to Verizon FiOS TV in order to see FiOS1. It's now available to FiOS customers in Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island and in parts of 240 communities in nine northern New Jersey counties: Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Morris, Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, Passaic and Union.

New Bundles, Internet Speeds and Special Offers

As Verizon launches FiOS1 channels on Long Island and in North Jersey, it's also bringing consumers nationally a new round of FiOS TV enhancements and incentives.

Verizon is doubling-to-quadrupling the upstream connection speeds of its most popular FiOS Internet offerings. The company has raised the speed of its entry-level FiOS Internet service from 10/2 Megabits per second (Mbps) to 15/5 Mbps and has raised the speed of its flagship, mid-tier offering from 20/5 Mbps to 25/15 Mbps. In New York City, on Long Island and in other New York City suburbs, FiOS Internet is even faster with a new entry-level speed of 25/15 Mbps, and a new mid-tier offering of 35/20 Mbps, available only in bundles.

Additionally, the company is offering consumers a new set of "good, better and best" bundles that include more choices, the faster Internet speeds and exciting new incentives, including Compaq Mini netbooks or Flip Ultra camcorders. More information can be found at http://www.verizon.com/fios.

Verizon's FiOS TV service was selected as the top-ranked residential television service provider in the Northeast region by J.D. Power for 2008. FiOS TV is currently available to more than 9.2 million homes in 14 states: California, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

Verizon's fiber network delivers amazingly sharp pictures and sound, and has the capacity to transmit a wide array of high-definition programming that is so clear and intense it seems to leap from the TV screen.

Microsoft Mobile Advertising s'associe à Hyatt Hotels & Resorts pour faire connaître le site Web mobile de Hyatt

CANNES, France et REDMOND, Washington, June 22 /PRNewswire/ --

- Les clients de Verizon Wireless pourront trouver des hôtels, réserver des chambres et obtenir des informations en déplacement de façon pratique.

Microsoft Corp. a annoncé aujourd'hui le lancement par l'opérateur hôtelier Global Hyatt Corp. d'une campagne de publicité mobile qui mettra à profit les relations publicitaires de Microsoft avec Verizon Wireless. La campagne d'affichage publicitaire mobile est conçue pour inciter les utilisateurs à s'inscrire dans le programme de fidélisation Hyatt Gold Passport pour hôtes fréquents, et de les encourager à visiter le nouveau site Web mobile d'Hyatt, entièrement fonctionnel, grâce à leur téléphone mobile.

L'équipe de Microsoft(R) Mobile Advertising, en vertu d'un accord annoncé par Microsoft et Verizon Wireless en janvier 2009, gère la recherche mobile et l'affichage publicitaire à travers le service Web mobile de Verizon Wireless. Les clients de Verizon Wireless compteront dorénavant sur une manière plus rapide et facile de trouver les hôtels Hyatt, de réserver des chambres, de voir et de modifier des réservations, de s'enregistrer à leur arrivée ou de régler leur note au départ, de recevoir des promotions spéciales et d'accéder à des informations générales en cours de route, en utilisant le service Web mobile de Verizon Wireless.

<< Microsoft Mobile Advertising nous apporte une solution convaincante et extensible, qui fait connaître notre site Web et encourage les utilisateurs à s'en servir comme un nouvel outil pour s'inscrire à notre programme de fidélisation et pour réserver une chambre >>, affirme Amy Curtis-McIntyre, vice-président directeur de la communication de marque chez Global Hyatt Corp. << La combinaison puissante entre les sites fortement fréquentés de Microsoft, comme MSN, et les services Web mobiles de Verizon Wireless, permet non seulement d'atteindre largement notre public cible, mais nous offre également la possibilité, très efficace, de travailler à la fois avec un éditeur important et avec un fournisseur de services à travers une plateforme simple et unique. >>

Ã€ la tÃªte des efforts publicitaires mobiles de Microsoft se trouve Charles Johnson, nommé directeur général en mars pour le développement et l'exécution de la stratégie de marketing produit et de partenariat pour la publicité mobile.

<< Le mobile constitue une composante essentielle de la stratégie globale de Microsoft Advertising. Nous avons réalisé des investissements importants pour développer une plateforme agnostique qui fonctionne avec tout type de téléphones, afin que les annonceurs et les éditeurs puissent atteindre et captiver leurs publics cibles de manière considérable >>, explique M. Johnson. << Travailler avec Verizon Wireless nous permet de mettre en application notre vision qui repose sur la fourniture efficace d'expériences mobiles améliorées, divertissantes et pouvant Ãªtre utiles à nos clients en déplacement. >>

<< Le mobile représente une opportunité émergente et croissante pour les annonceurs et les marques >>, déclare Richard Williams, directeur général de la publicité et des médias numériques chez Verizon. << Grâce à Microsoft, qui s'efforce d'atteindre les clients en déplacement, nous sommes en mesure d'offrir de la valeur. >>

En vue de démontrer l'intérÃªt de la publicité mobile, Microsoft a mené une étude pour Toyota en France, lors de la préparation du lancement de sa voiture IQ. Le but de l'étude était de déterminer la mesure dans laquelle l'utilisation d'une approche publicitaire << deux écrans contre un >> influençait l'impact sur les consommateurs. Les résultats indiquent que la combinaison de publicité mobile et d'affichage publicitaire en ligne a augmenté la présence en ligne de Toyota, entraînant une hausse progressive de 200 % dans le nombre de personnes se souvenant de l'annonce et de 40 % de celles se souvenant de la marque. De plus, les résultats ont été similaires concernant la synergie entre la recherche mobile et l'affichage mobile, qui a bénéficié d'une augmentation de 350 % du nombre de personnes se rappelant l'annonce et de 125 % de celles se rappelant la marque, grâce à l'inclusion d'annonces dans les pages de recherche mobile.

Microsoft Mobile Advertising est active dans 12 pays et constitue une composante importante de la stratégie et de la vision de Microsoft Advertising, visant à atteindre le public à travers des écrans, des plateformes et des dispositifs multiples. Contrairement aux plateformes publicitaires de la concurrence, Microsoft Advertising offre aux annonceurs un accès à des campagnes publicitaires sur mesure à travers des écrans multiples, y compris PC, jeux et TV.

EDISON, N.J., June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Majesco Entertainment Company , an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced Shorts for Nintendo DS. This entertaining puzzle platform game brings to life the highly-anticipated Warner Bros. theatrical release of the same name.

Macy, Jon Cryer and James Spader. Developed by Artificial Mind & Movement, the Shorts videogame is expected to release in advance of the movie this July.

In Shorts, a magical rainbow rock that grants wishes brings chaos to the peaceful suburbs. Players take on the role of four of their favorite characters from the movie -- Toe Thompson, Nose Noseworthy, Loogie Short and Helvetica Black--as they work to return the community of Black Falls to normalcy by fixing wishes-gone-wrong.

Shorts features 26 levels in three distinct episodes from the feature film. Players can use the stylus to draw temporary platforms to jump on or use as shields to avoid dangerous threats.
