Cognizant lance une plate-forme complète pour encourager l'innovation dans les essais

TEANECK, New Jersey et CHENNAI, Inde, July 9 /PRNewswire/ --

Cognizant (Nasdaq : CTSH), un fournisseur leader de solutions informatiques, de conseils et de services délocalisés de processus commerciaux, a annoncé aujourd'hui le lancement d'une plate-forme unique et complète qui encouragera l'innovation et permettra à la société de fournir plus de valeur dans le domaine des essais. La plate-forme a été inaugurée par Mohammad Zahoor, directeur informatique de PEMCO Insurance, une société cliente de Cognizant.

Mise au point par la division Essais de Cognizant, la plate-forme encouragera les idées, catalysera le partage des connaissances et fera la démonstration d'innovations en matière d'essais qui aideront à réduire les efforts, le temps et les coÃ»ts associés aux essais, tout en améliorant leur qualité. La plate-forme servira aussi à la validation statistique de l'importance et de l'adaptabilité des innovations pour les projets d'essai. Cognizant a aussi mis en place un conseil de l'innovation composé d'experts technologiques et commerciaux afin d'évaluer les idées produites par cette plate-forme et déterminer leur avenir.

<< Nous félicitons Cognizant pour le lancement de cette plate-forme d'innovation >>, a déclaré Mohammad Zahoor. << Nous sommes ravis de nous associer avec la division Essais de Cognizant à l'occasion de la création du centre de test de PEMCO qui a remporté le prix Laureate du magazine Computerworld pour 2009. Malgré un calendrier serré, Cognizant n'a eu de cesse de réduire les durées des cycles d'essai en appliquant la méthode Lean Six Sigma, en optimisant les efforts d'essai chez PEMCO et en nous aidant à terminer le cycle complet d'essais dans les délais impartis. >>

<< Dans un contexte d'évolutions structurelles profondes de l'économie, les activités commerciales, informatiques et d'assurance qualité se sont transformées en plates-formes de valeur synergiques permettant aux entreprises de devenir plus concurrentielles >>, a déclaré R Chandrasekaran, PDG de la division Prestation de services mondiaux chez Cognizant. << Que ce soit intégrer des plates-formes disparates, réduire la durée de commercialisation ou améliorer l'utilisation des applications par le client, les organisations se tournent de plus en plus vers les essais pour détecter les lacunes afin d'améliorer la productivité, optimiser les efforts et réduire les coÃ»ts. >>

<< Chez Cognizant, nous nous efforçons en permanence de fournir à nos clients plus de valeur et de donner aux entreprises les moyens d'Ãªtre prÃªtes grâce à des coÃ»ts optimisés, une qualité prévisible et une réactivité plus vive >>, a-t-il ajouté. << Grâce à la diversité de ses services, sa très grande expérience sectorielle, ses centres d'excellence et son dévouement pour l'innovation, Cognizant a pu s'imposer comme un précurseur dans le domaine des essais. Cette plate-forme d'innovation représente une étape clé dans le développement de nos activités d'essais. >>

Ã€ propos de la division Essais de Cognizant

La division Essais de Cognizant est une unité indépendante de Cognizant qui se consacre à la vérification et à la validation des applications. Cognizant a confirmé sa réputation de précurseur avec l'établissement de cette unité en 2001, en lançant le concept d'un service d'essais indépendant. Depuis, la division Essais de Cognizant s'est développée de façon organique pour employer plus de 9000 testeurs qui vérifient les codes développés par Cognizant ainsi que ceux de tierces parties, y compris les clients et les concurrents. Plus de 75 pour cent des codes testés par Cognizant sont développés par les clients ou des vendeurs tiers. La division Essais de Cognizant est organisée en fonction de domaines sectoriels tels que les services financiers, les assurances, la santé, la fabrication/la vente au détail, les télécommunications et les médias et divertissement. Ce mode d'organisation permet de tirer parti de l'expertise sectorielle de Cognizant et fournit des essais appropriés à chaque secteur, ce qui est un facteur de réussite critique pour les essais indépendants de logiciel.

Pewaukee, Wis., Residents to Benefit From Verizon Wireless Network EnhancementNew Cell Site Means Clearer Reception, Fewer Dropped Calls

PEWAUKEE, Wis., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site in Pewaukee that expands network coverage, enabling more customers in Waukesha County to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls; send and receive email and text, picture and video messages; access the Internet; view high-quality videos; and download music, games and ringtones, while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.

The new cell site, which is equipped with a permanent backup generator for times of emergency, expands Verizon Wireless' voice and data network in Pewaukee from Lisbon Road south to U.S. Interstate 94, west to State Highway 16 and east to County Route F.

"This network expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to meet the growing needs of our customers and to provide them with the reliable, high-quality service they expect from Verizon Wireless," said T.J. Fox, president-Wisconsin/Illinois Region, Verizon Wireless.

"The value we offer our customers is closely tied to our industry-leading customer retention," Fox said. "Wireless consumers today understand that value is not defined by price alone. A major reason our customers choose Verizon Wireless and stay with us is because we offer the nation's most reliable network."

The new cell site in Pewaukee is part of Verizon Wireless' continual effort to expand coverage, increase capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Wisconsin and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested more than $50 billion since it was formed--$5.5 billion on average every year--to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services.

EXFO Releases an In-Service OTDR for Metro/Access CWDM NetworksFast troubleshooting through CWDM mux/demux networks with EXFO's eight- wavelength compact solution

QUEBEC CITY, July 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering Inc. announced today the release of the FTB-7400E Metro/CWDM OTDR, an OTDR test solution that can offer as many as eight wavelengths in a single test platform designed for in-service troubleshooting of coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) networks.

By combining two one-slot FTB-7400E OTDR modules in the FTB-200 Compact Platform, service providers benefit from a truly effective eight-wavelength solution, which contributes to maintaining high quality of service (QoS) by enabling mux/demux testing and ultimately reducing time to locate faults in a network.

When service providers are looking to offer new commercial services or to increase bandwidth on existing networks, CWDM systems are a cost-effective solution that brings new challenges for test instruments. Featuring selected wavelengths from 1470 nm to 1610 nm (ITU G.694.2 CWDM), the FTB-7400E offers service providers a high dynamic range for complete end-to-end loss and mux/demux validation at the construction phase. It allows them to test from the head-end without interfering with other users - a must for fast and accurate troubleshooting. By launching the FTB-7400E, EXFO is once again strengthening its industry-leading OTDR portfolio, renowned for unmatched accuracy.

The FTB-200 Compact Platform also offers a CWDM-calibrated power meter for precise power readings at each wavelength of the network. Moreover, operators seeking an integrated CWDM turn-up solution can combine the FTB-7400E with EXFO's high-performance FTB-5420S Optical Spectrum Analyzer into the newly launched FTB-500 four-slot platform.

"Our customers are always looking for ways to increase their productivity and reduce their costs. Thanks to our new CWDM OTDR, they have access to eight wavelengths in a single compact platform, without swapping modules," said Etienne Gagnon, EXFO's Vice-President of Product Management and Marketing. "As the leader in the OTDR test instrument market, EXFO is once again offering a great solution that will allow our customers to test better and faster."

Thousands of Parrish, Fla. Residents Now Have Access to FiOS TVNew Competitive TV Option Added for 4,300 Households; Super-Fast Bundles, Netbook and Flip Camcorder Premiums Make This a Great Time for Consumers to Act

BRADENTON, Fla., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers in burgeoning Parrish have the opportunity to add FiOS TV to their FiOS Internet connection now that Verizon has completed work to bring its industry-leading TV service to 4,300 households in this northeastern Manatee County community.

Previously, these consumers only had FiOS Internet and voice services available to them. The FiOS TV expansion opens the full array of FiOS bundle opportunities to Parrish while also providing a leading competitive option to entrenched cable services.

"We've watched Parrish grow considerably since 2006 when Verizon received its franchise to provide FiOS TV in Manatee County," said Michelle Robinson, Verizon's Southeast region president. "It's been about three years, but good things really do come to those who wait. There has never been a better time than right now to enjoy the maximum benefits from FiOS services."

When FiOS TV was first made available in Florida in late 2005, the service offered about 330 total channels, 20 high-definition channels and about 1,600 on-demand options. FiOS TV in Florida now offers more than 600 total all-digital channels, 125 high-definition channels and more than 15,000 on-demand options -- 70 percent of which are free -- with more than 1,400 HD on-demand options and 1,100 free HD on-demand options.

In addition, FiOS services -- both TV and Internet -- are widely recognized by consumer organizations, industry groups, bloggers and customers alike as providing the leading home-entertainment experiences in the market.

New Florida FiOS customers will experience an enhanced service experience, including a simplified bill format and one centralized point of contact -- 1-800-VERIZON (800-837-4966) -- for all of their service needs. They also will receive the FiOS Service Commitment, featuring, among other things, premium FiOS installation with appointments to fit the customer's schedule; setup and in-home training on how to use the new FiOS services; and a 30-day post-installation pledge, including a contact number for the installing technician should the customer need any on-site repairs or have any follow-up questions about FiOS service.

Verizon service employees will also check in by phone with new customers within the first 30 to 45 days of installation to answer any questions, review the customers' first bill and ensure they know how to reach Verizon round-the-clock for any future needs.

On June 22, Verizon announced new FiOS Internet speeds and a promotion for new bundled customers, highlighting the advantages of FiOS service. The company has raised the connection speed of its entry-level FiOS Internet service from download speeds of 10 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of 2 Mbps to download speeds of 15 Mbps and upload speeds of 5 Mbps. The company has also raised the connection speed of its flagship, mid-tier offering from 20/5 Mbps to 25/15 Mbps.**

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 Freedom 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.

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 in Florida 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 (888.438-3467). For more information about FiOS, visit http://www.verizon.com/seefios.

** NOTE: Connection speed refers to the speed between a user's location and Verizon's central office. Actual surfing speeds will vary based on many factors and be lower than connection speed.

Promotion Terms and Conditions:

* Compaq Mini netbook available with $299.99 coupon (or $200 coupon for $99.99 discounted-price offer) redeemable online at HP Home & Home Office while supplies last. Valid credit card required. Customer pays taxes, shipping and handling. Must sign up by Aug. 15 and install by Oct. 15, 2009. Must have service for 60 days and no past due balance. Coupon sent within 90 days of install date and requires redemption within 60 days of receipt. For residential customers new to FiOS TV and Internet.

Flip Ultra (TM) Camcorder available while supplies last. Must have service for 60 days with no past due balance to qualify. Gift will be sent within 90 days of install date. Other terms and conditions apply.

Voipswitch Now Interoperable With Sangoma's NetBorder Expres GatewayVoiceserve's Voipswitch Functionality is Extended to PSTN Interface

LONDON, July 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Voiceserve Inc. (VSRV) and Sangoma Technologies (TSX VENTURE:STC) today announced the completion of successful interoperability tests between the companies' product lines. Voipswitch's award-winning softswitch, and Sangoma's NetBorder Express Gateway are both based on the SIP communication protocol for Voice-over-IP.

This successful validation of interoperability which included comprehensive functionality and stability tests ensures that users of the Voipswitch software can now select Sangoma's NetBorder Express Gateway as a gateway device to create cost-effective switching applications.

"The combination of Sangoma's NetBorder Express Gateway and Voipswitch Softswitch provides a robust and reliable PSTN switching platform," said Dr.Chris Oglaza CTO Voiceserve Inc. "The boards are available in different configurations with ISDN E1/T1 ports as well as analogue ports. NetBorder Express provides in addition a set of management tools which allow for seamless configuration with voipswitch."

"We are thrilled to bring our wide range of telephony connectivity options to users of the Voipswitch software. NetBorder Express TDM-to-SIP Gateway solution in combination with Voipswitch's software makes a great switching platform for networks of all types", said Frederic Dickey, Director of Product Management at Sangoma.

This additional facility now available for Voipswitch clientele, the use of Sangoma hardware cards, enables its customers to deploy PSTN trunks with extremely modest costs. The Sangoma board is simply inserted into the Voipswitch server. Clients will not need any expensive external gateways. The calling card, wholesale termination and IP PBX scenarios will be enhanced dramatically with the NetBorder Express Gateway installed. Also, having a Sangoma board will act as a secure backup in the event that the internet link is severed, thus permitting traffic to pass through PSTN trunks.

Timesys Announces LinuxLink Support for AppliedMicro's PowerPC 460EX ProcessorMinimize schedule risks while achieving all the benefits of a true open-source Linux solution

PITTSBURGH, July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Timesys Corporation (http://www.timesys.com/), provider of LinuxLink, the first commercial software development framework for building custom embedded Linux based products, today announced LinuxLink availability for the PowerPC 460EX processor from AppliedMicro .

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090515/NE17461LOGO )

With full support for the 460EX Canyonlands evaluation platform, Timesys' LinuxLink solution is based on the latest 2.6.30 kernel and includes drivers for on-chip peripherals such as the PCI and PCI-Express ports, USB 2.0 interface, DDR2 controller, SATA port and 10/100/1G Ethernet controllers.

The release of LinuxLink for the 460EX processor represents the latest stage in Timesys' support of AppliedMicro's Power Architecture-based SoCs, extending the support already available for other 4xx processors within the LinuxLink framework.

Users of the PowerPC 460EX benefit from the LinuxLink framework which features an award-winning build system (called Factory) that provides both an easy-to-use wizard for creating an initial Linux starting image and a build engine that enables customers to design and build a completely custom and highly optimized Linux platform from source code.

The Factory wizard allows customers to choose from the latest GNU-based optimized toolchains enabled with uClibc and glibc libraries. The framework allows for creation of a footprint-optimized root file system (RFS) with application-specific features selected from hundreds of available software packages. Package categories include multimedia, networking, storage, security, industrial and more.

For maximum flexibility, developers take advantage of both the online build system and the desktop-hosted version. With either interface, customers leverage the best Linux code from AppliedMicro as well as from the open source community. The desktop version offers more flexibility than any other Linux build platform by allowing users to integrate third-party packages and proprietary software. LinuxLink's update service automatically notifies customers of changes to any of the components used in their project.

LinuxLink customers have access to commonly used development tools, including, but not limited to GDB, OProfile and mpatrol. These tools help customers ensure the quality of their final product. Customers receive technical support from expert Timesys engineers and have access to a vast suite of documentation.

The subscription includes access to the recently updated Eclipse-based TimeStorm tools that provide an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for use in application development and debugging.

"We are delighted that Timesys has added PowerPC 460EX processor support to the LinuxLink framework," said Chris Bergen, Director of Systems Engineering at AppliedMicro. "A number of our existing customers already use LinuxLink with other 4xx processors, and the addition of the 460EX support allows AppliedMicro and Timesys to continue providing our mutual customers with the solutions that they prefer."

"We are excited about adding LinuxLink support for the 460EX processor," said Charlie Ashton, Vice President of Business Development at Timesys. "LinuxLink is well suited for AppliedMicro's target markets, offering an aggressively-priced development environment combined with easy access to a wealth of open-source software components. Our mutual customers leverage all the benefits of using open-source software through working within a framework that minimizes their schedule risk while accelerating their development cycle."

For a limited time, developers can obtain free LinuxLink access to quickly configure, build and evaluate embedded Linux on the AppliedMicro 460EX Canyonlands platform by registering at https://linuxlink.timesys.com/register/factory. Developers should enter promotion code AMCC460 when completing the online free trial registration form.

Additional information about LinuxLink subscriptions for AppliedMicro processors can be found at http://www.timesys.com/AMCC.

NI Technology Research Updates Outlooks for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, United Microelectronics, Integrated Device Technology and Diodes, Inc.

PRINCETON, N.J., July 9 /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 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing , United Microelectronics , Integrated Device Technology and Diodes, Inc. .

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 his quarterly State of Tech reports. In this exclusive series of reports, McWilliams offers data, charts, and analysis that illustrate important tech paradigms and highlight important trends that will move stocks during the upcoming quarter.

To read McWilliams' 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=prn846

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his most recent State of Tech report:

-- What leads McWilliams to believe there are upsides in store for both TSM and UMC? Which does he think is a better strategic buy today and why?

-- Does McWilliams think the return of TSM Chairman and founder, Dr. Morris Chang, as CEO is to fix a rumored yield problem at the company or is there a larger story that Wall Street is ignoring?

-- Does McWilliams think that IDT made a good trade by selling its T-CAM product line to NetLogic and then using the money to buy Canadian semiconductor company Tundra? What price target does McWilliams have in mind for IDT?

-- Diodes, Inc. has posted a 230% gain from where McWilliams advised readers the stock was a buy. What's more interesting though is that the reasons the stock has shot up so much were very much in line with the predictions McWilliams made months before Wall Street caught on. What did McWilliams see so early in the cycle? Does he think there is more gas in the Diodes tank or that it is now time to book some profits?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 159% since its inception versus -2% for the S&P 500.

About Next Inning:

Next Inning is a subscription-based investment newsletter that provides regular coverage on more than 150 technology and semiconductor stocks. Subscribers receive intra-day analysis, commentary and recommendations, as well as access to monthly semiconductor sales analysis, regular Special Reports, and the Next Inning model portfolio. Editor Paul McWilliams is a 30+ year semiconductor industry veteran.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Announces New Solution AcceleratorsCRM Accelerators have exceeded 50,000 downloads to drive customer and partner value.

REDMOND, Wash., July 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Microsoft Corp. today announced new CRM Accelerators for Microsoft Dynamics CRM that help organizations reduce costs and establish business insight across social networks, channel-centric organizations and Web interaction channels.

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

As with all CRM Accelerators, they are available at no additional cost to current Microsoft Dynamics CRM customers and partners. These solutions can be deployed as packaged extensions to Microsoft Dynamics CRM, or used to help develop new solutions -- allowing organizations to help improve the time to value in tailoring Microsoft Dynamics CRM to their business needs.

"We continue to drive rapid innovation and outstanding price-to-value for customers and partners globally," said Brad Wilson, general manager of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. "These new accelerators expand the capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics CRM to address emerging business trends in social networking and drive efficiencies in collaborative business processes."

Social Networking Accelerator

The Social Networking Accelerator allows business professionals to monitor and analyze customers' conversations on social networking sites, and as a result, provides real-time status updates about their products and services. This accelerator delivers integration with Twitter; other networks will be introduced in future releases. The Social Networking Accelerator can be viewed online at http://crm.dynamics.com/.

"In this market, insight into what customers are saying is extremely valuable," said Warren Wilson, senior analyst at Ovum Inc. "These new social networking features can provide greater visibility into customers' experiences and opinions, helping companies to make better decisions and, ultimately, to improve brand awareness and customer engagement. This is a smart enhancement to Microsoft Dynamics CRM."

Partner Relationship Management (PRM) Accelerator

The Partner Relationship Management (PRM) Accelerator allows businesses to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM to distribute sales leads and centrally manage sales opportunities across channel partners. It provides pre-built extensions to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM sales force automation functionality, including new data entities, workflow and reports. Using the PRM Accelerator, companies can jointly manage sales processes with their channel partners through a centralized Web portal, as well as extend this integration to automate additional business processes.

Portal Integration Accelerator

The Portal Integration Accelerator easily connects Microsoft Dynamics CRM to an organization's Web experience. With this added capability, a business analyst can use point-and-click configuration -- as opposed to Web development -- to rapidly extend to the Internet any business process and drive costs out of everyday business interactions.

The new CRM Accelerators will be made available in the next few weeks. Microsoft Dynamics CRM customers and partners can download each of these solutions from http://crm.dynamics.com/. To date, CRM Accelerators have exceeded 50,000 downloads to drive new customer value and partner innovation with Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Duracell Protects With New 'Trusted Everywhere' CampaignNew Commercials Feature the Heroic Efforts of Two Local Organizations

BETHEL, Conn., July 9, 2009 /PRNewswire/ -- Duracell unveiled the latest broadcast commercials this month in its highly successful "Trusted Everywhere" advertising campaign. The 30-second and 15-second television spots depict the life-saving work of Air Life Denver, an emergency rescue transport service that uses a variety of vehicles including helicopters as well as high-tech personal devices to rescue families affected by severe weather. This year's campaign will also feature a 60-second radio spot that highlights the efforts of the WX4NHC, an amateur radio station located at the National Hurricane Center. WX4NHC is operated by a group of volunteer amateur radio operators who communicate critical severe weather information to first responders in remote storm locations across South Florida.

The new spots in the "Trusted Everywhere" campaign, now in its eighth successful year, are designed to reinforce the power of Duracell batteries by demonstrating the critical use of electronic devices in weather-related emergencies. The latest TV spot, which is entitled "Tornado," depicts a real event in which the rescue was performed by Air Life Denver. The spot opens with Air Life Denver members equipped with battery-powered, night-vision goggles for a rescue operation after a tornado hits in the thick of the night. As the Air Life Denver crew flies above the tornado aftermath, they successfully locate victims next to their destructed home. The dramatic images bring to life the real situations that these rescuers face, and the importance of the battery-operated devices used to help navigate through the night to find people in need and bring them to safety.

The radio spot entitled "Hurricane" highlights the efforts of an all-volunteer army of ham radio operators for WX4NHC, physically located at the National Hurricane Center campus in Miami. The spot narrates the important role that these unique volunteers play during severe weather conditions - enabling communications with emergency medical teams, police and fire departments when the power goes out. The narration underscores the importance of a reliable battery to power the portable ham radios, which are crucial to the organization's work.

"With these new spots, we are helping to showcase the important contributions made by Air Life Denver crews and the Miami ham radio operators," said Bob Jacobs, Duracell marketing director, North America. "These heroic teams are working to save the lives of others. When storms strike, the radio operators are donating their time to make sure communications stay intact, and the helicopter teams are on the front lines, facing intense pressures and dangerous conditions to rescue those in need. We're proud that our batteries can help power these life-saving efforts."

The "Tornado" TV spot featuring Air Life Denver debuts in July and will air on network and cable programs nationwide. To view the new "Tornado" spot, please visit http://tiny.cc/xzmfj. The "Hurricane" radio spots will debut in August and will air on local AM/FM stations nationwide.

In its MLP special report, BullMarket.com wrote: "For income-oriented investors, MLPs make good investments, as they provide a steady source of income that also has tax benefits. Usually about 80-90% of the distributions from MLPs are tax deferred and are classified as return of capital, which instead reduces an investor's original cost basis. Thus, one wouldn't have to pay taxes on this part of the distribution until the stock is sold."

BullMarket.com looked at the following topics, among others:

-- Why are MLPs a good investment option for income-oriented investors? Are their dividends safe?

-- How can MLPs pay out dividends that are higher than their reported profits?

-- What characteristics does BullMarket.com look for when picking MLP investments?

-- What valuation metrics should investors look at when choosing an MLP investment?

Verizon Wireless Expands 3G Wireless Network in Hartford, ConnecticutInvestment in Hartford County, Connecticut to Stay Ahead of Rising Demand for 3G Multimedia and Internet Access

HARTFORD, Conn., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless has expanded its network with a new cell site in Hartford, Connecticut. The new cell site provides increased 3G high-speed wireless broadband coverage along I-84, as well as the surrounding areas.

Verizon Wireless, originally the first wireless provider to offer 3G speeds, today has the largest and most reliable 3G network coverage area in the United States, giving customers with notebook computers or smartphones the ability to:

-- Browse the web faster with quicker page loading times -- Quickly download and play music -- Watch streaming video -- Send emails with attachments -- Download and play 3D games -- Video conference with your contacts -- Rapidly share files

"Verizon Wireless' 3G network coverage across New England is unparalleled," said director for Network System Performance for Verizon Wireless, Richard Enright. "We've invested billions of dollars into New England believing that even the most sophisticated cell phone is only as good as the network it runs on. Our continued aggressive network investments provide customers with a 3G network advantage at home and on vacation."

The company has invested more than $50 billion since its inception to increase the wireless voice and data coverage of its national network and to add new 3G services like Mobile Broadband and V CAST. Regionally the company has invested more than $2.4 billion into its New England network over the past nine years, including $240 million in 2008 alone. As the carrier with America's largest and most reliable wireless network, Verizon Wireless cell sites in New England provide 3G wireless data connectivity.

Mobile Broadband Internet Access

Verizon Wireless' 3G high-speed wireless broadband network keeps customers connected. With Mobile Broadband from Verizon Wireless, notebook computer users can access email, download files and browse the Internet at broadband speed (average download speeds of 600 kilobits per second (kbps) to 1.4 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 500-800 kbps). A one megabyte email attachment -- the equivalent of a small PowerPoint(R) presentation or a large PDF file -- can be downloaded in about eight seconds and uploaded in less than 13 seconds.

V CAST: Video and Music

Powered by the company's 3G high-speed network, V CAST multimedia services offer customers the ability to download full song tracks, play cutting-edge 3D games and stream video clips straight to their phones. With content updated daily, customers can watch dozens of on-demand videos, including breaking news, weather, sports highlights and the hottest entertainment clips.

V CAST Music with Rhapsody

The company's wireless broadband network also powers its V CAST Music with Rhapsody service, which combines Verizon Wireless' world-class, over-the-air mobile music service with Rhapsody's leading desktop solution. V CAST Music with Rhapsody delivers unlimited access to music on up to three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players, and online on multiple PCs and Web browsers. With V CAST Music with Rhapsody, customers who purchase music over-the-air can download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of digital rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can be played.

Most Reliable Wireless Network

The company's 'America's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country. By traversing more than one million miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways, as well as major roads and surface streets in high-population areas -- the equivalent of two roundtrips to the moon or 40 trips around the world -- the test men and women 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.
