WEST CALDWELL, N.J., May 11 -- Ricoh Americas Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions and services, today introduced @Remote(TM) Office Intelligent Remote Management System as the latest enhancement to the @Remote Product Suite. Based on a Linux thin server appliance, @Remote Office allows businesses to remotely manage Ricoh devices, optimize device usage and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). This includes collecting device data, receiving and reporting service and toner alerts and enabling remote firmware upgrades. In addition, @Remote's secure, Web-based reporting portal transforms captured data into valuable reports on population and usage as well as offers new Green reporting capabilities.

@Remote Office generates utilization reports that are available online, so businesses can access them anytime to identify ways to boost fleet efficiency and minimize operating costs. These reports show a variety of critical metrics using simple, intuitive graphics for Ricoh and third-party devices. With @Remote Office, administrators can easily examine print, copy, scan and/or fax volumes from managed Ricoh devices and identify under- or overused systems, reallocate resources and final optimal device placements. In addition, these usage reports enable administrators to track trends in energy and paper consumption on managed Ricoh devices over time and make better decisions about sustainability policies with @Remote Green Reports.

"Managing a fleet of networked printers and multi-function products without automated tools is expensive, time-consuming and is a constant challenge," said Shun Sato, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "@Remote Office gives network administrators, financial managers and procurement officers unprecedented power to improve service and enhance productivity - all while reducing total cost of ownership."

@Remote Office is also designed to maximize information and network security, utilizing both data encryption as well as the highly secure HTTPS standard protocol. @Remote Office has been submitted for Information Technology Security Certification, Common Criteria/ISO15408.

Lockheed Martin Awarded Contract to Deliver VINASAT-2 for Nation of Vietnam

NEWTOWN, Pa., May 11 -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) announced today the award of a contract by Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) of Vietnam to build the VINASAT-2 satellite.  In-orbit delivery is slated for the second quarter of 2012.  Financial terms were not disclosed.

Based on the highly reliable A2100 spacecraft platform manufactured by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems (LMCSS), Newtown, Pa., VINASAT-2 will be located at 131.8 degrees east longitude and provide a minimum service life of 15 years.

The VINASAT-2 contract marks the second satellite order VNPT has awarded to Lockheed Martin, which will manage the project in its entirety, including satellite design and manufacturing, launch procurement, and final in-orbit testing before customer acceptance. Lockheed Martin successfully delivered VINASAT-1, the first satellite ever for the nation of Vietnam, in 2008.

VINASAT-2 will feature 24 Ku-band fixed high power communication channels, providing uplink and downlink coverage over Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos.  Lockheed Martin's low-risk solution utilizes and leverages heritage Ku-band flight-proven equipment from numerous previous A2100 programs to meet the customer's schedule requirements.  LMCSS has delivered 38 A2100 commercial spacecraft, with an average cycle time of 24 months with satellites of similar complexity as VINASAT-2.

"Lockheed Martin is extremely proud that VNPT has again placed its faith in us to provide a low-risk technical solution that will fully satisfy mission needs," said LMCSS Vice-President Joe Rickers.  "With a focus on minimizing risk and providing schedule assurance, we look forward to achieving operational excellence and mission success in support of VNPT's business objectives."

"Lockheed Martin's in-depth experience was reflected in Lockheed Martin's feasible solutions to mitigate the risk of the project in the contract signed today," said VNPT Chairman of the Board Pham Long Tran. "From the shared success of the VINASAT-1 project, I do believe that Lockheed Martin will be able to again meet the schedule requirement and jointly cooperate with VNPT for the successful implementation of the VINASAT-2 Project."

In addition to VNPT, Lockheed Martin has delivered 19 spacecraft to Asian customers, including nine A2100 satellites. The Lockheed Martin A2100 geosynchronous spacecraft series is designed to meet a wide variety of telecommunications needs including Ka-band broadband and broadcast services, fixed satellite services in C-band and Ku-band, high-power direct broadcast services using the Ku-band frequency spectrum and mobile satellite services using UHF, L-band, and S-band payloads. The A2100's modular design features a reduction in parts, simplified construction, increased on-orbit reliability and reduced weight and cost.

The A2100 spacecraft's design accommodates a large range of communication payloads. This design modularity enables the A2100 spacecraft to be configured for missions other than communication. The A2100 design has been adapted for geostationary Earth orbit (GEO)-based earth observing missions and is the baselined platform for Lockheed Martin's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite Series-R program. In addition, the A2100 serves as the platform for critical government communications programs, including the Advanced Extremely High Frequency and Mobile User Objective System satellites. The A2100 also serves as the spacecraft platform for Lockheed Martin's GPS III program.

NEVERDIE Studios Launches ROCKtropia - First Virtual Music World

GROUNDBREAKING TECHNOLOGY CREATES NEW MUSIC INDUSTRY REVENUE STREAM; HITMAKER KEVIN RUDOLF, MOTORHEAD'S LEMMY INITIAL ARTISTS ON ROCKTROPIA

LOS ANGELES, May 11 -- NEVERDIE Studios has announced the launch of ROCKtropia, the first virtual music world and the first independently developed virtual planet in MindArk's Entropia Universe. Created by virtual world pioneer and entrepreneur Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs, the planet introduces a revolutionary, highly interactive venue for artists to connect with their fans while also creating a new revenue stream in the music space and a platform for artists to pursue fame and fortune.

ROCKtropia's landscape is a fully interactive 3D destination that allows artists and their fans to connect in an immersive and entertaining environment. ROCKtropia represents a viable, new revenue stream for the music industry. In addition to introducing groundbreaking communication and revenue capabilities to the music world, the planet offers artists unprecedented creative input into the design and development of their online presence in a highly stylized, customized virtual land.

Without depending on album sales, artists can generate real-world revenue from their fans' participation in their land through Entropia's virtual reality economic system, including the introduction of limited edition virtual merchandise tied to album launches. The symbiotic relationship also lets fans earn real-world income through activity in the virtual goods economy of their favorite artist's destination, creating additional incentive for fans to get involved in the community.

"The launch of ROCKtropia is a personal triumph," said NEVERDIE. "It has been a long time in the making and we're thrilled to be the first new virtual world on the amazing Entropia Universe platform.  With the help of Lemmy and Kevin, we have created an exciting new experience for both music fans and gamers.  We look forward to exploring new ideas and working with many more artists in the future."

The first continent to be inhabited on the planet will be the home to destinations created for rock icon Lemmy, lead singer of Motorhead, and hit singer/songwriter/producer Kevin Rudolf.  The continent will also feature the City of Dreams, where up-and-coming artists can pursue their aspirations and gain exposure, and the Vampire Freaks Cathedral, a gathering place for VampireFreaks.com members. ROCKtropia's lands currently include:

  --  Lemmy's Castle - Located high in the rugged terrain and mountains,
      Lemmy's Castle sits on the north side of ROCKtropia and is guarded by
      demon spawn, dragons and other creatures created by Lemmy himself.
  --  Motorhead Stadium - A massive arena inside a crater, Motorhead Stadium
      features three large stages that will be the location for live
      performances and battle events.
  --  ZOMhattan - Inspired by Manhattan and created in conjunction with
      Kevin Rudolph, ZOMhattan was originally intended to be the capital of
      ROCKtropia until beta testers' avatars were turned into zombies by a
      virus. A safe haven in the city, Rudolph's B.A.M.F Headquarters will
      also exist as a location for his fans to gather and check out new
      music and content from the singer. Fans of Rudolph will also be able
      to buy the singer's virtual merchandise, earn exclusive prizes and
      receive advance access to new material.
  --  City of Dreams - The center of pop culture in ROCKtropia, the City of
      Dreams is the location for aspiring artists to promote their music and
      pursue fame and fortune. Through quests, musicians can earn tokens to
      get their music played on Club NEVERDIE Live, ROCKtropia's main radio
      station, or score airplay on Jango internet radio. Artists that prove
      popular can earn the opportunity to get their own studio and
      potentially their own income-generating venue. The city will also be
      the home to a palace run by Audio-Freaks.com, one of the UK's biggest,
      most popular Dance Music Production companies, and NEVERDIE Studios'
      own machinima Film Studio, the location for new artists to create
      their own music videos.
  --  VampireFreaks Cathedral - Situated in ROCKtropia's deep forest and
      surrounded by vampire chicks, wolves and werewolves, the Cathedral is
      home to VampireFreaks.com members, the largest industrial Goth Vampire
      social network with more than 3 million members.

NEVERDIE Studios has also created exclusive, limited edition virtual goods that can be earned by early members of ROCKtropia. This includes the opportunity to win guitar axes by defeating the guardians of Lemmy's castle and diamond encrusted shotguns launched by B.A.M.F. HQ by conquering Zomhattan's zombies.

"It's a wonderful idea really," said Lemmy of ROCKtropia. "It's the best idea that has ever been visited upon in my suffering years. I get to invent monsters that go on to slaughter thousands of people and I get paid for it! What could possibly be better than that?"

ROCKtropia was developed by virtual entrepreneur and pop star Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs, who first became a virtual success with "Gamer Chick," his hit record on the Entropia Universe platform. With the success of "Gamer Chick," NEVERDIE realized the potential for music on the platform and created Club NEVERDIE. It was the financial success of Club NEVERDIE that laid the foundation for ROCKtropia.

Conceived by NEVERDIE in 2007 when Entropia Universe opened its platform to third party developers, ROCKtropia began production in early 2009 after Lemmy and Kevin Rudolph became involved with the new planet. The planet was created using the CRYengine2, one of the world's most advanced graphics engines. Activities include quests, adventures, first person shooter action, events, competitions, fashion, social networking, romance, live music performances and e-commerce. Additional artists will be involved and new lands will be created as ROCKtropia further develops.

About NEVERDIE Studios:

NEVERDIE Studios is headquartered in the historic El Capitan Theatre building in the heart of Hollywood. The Studio was founded by iconic celebrity gamer/avatar Jon "NEVERDIE" Jacobs in the summer of 2008 to create movies, music and virtual worlds. Since its inception, NEVERDIE Studios has scored chart-topping club hits with dance diva Cheri Moon and produced two revolutionary virtual worlds launching in 2010 - ROCKtropia, the industry's first virtual music world, and the upcoming time travelers tropical paradise Next Island.

'Rise of the Godslayer' not only introduces countless hours of new adventure through the addition of new lands and dungeons, it also adds all-new gameplay features such as the faction system.

"We are very excited about seeing 'Age of Conan' back on the shelves in retail as a renewed and revitalized experience comprised of both the original game and the expansion, exactly two years after the launch of the original game in May 2008," says Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas.

AT&T Web Hosting to Offer Small Businesses New Solutions to Maximize Potential for Their Websites

Two New Design Plans Save Small Businesses Time and Money in Making Sites Functional, Interactive and User-Friendly

DALLAS, May 11 -- With more and more consumers using the Internet to research, purchase and service products, it's vital for businesses - especially small businesses - to have a strong web presence. Many had cutting-edge websites a few years ago, but websites can get stale and outdated quickly. The good news for small business is that redesigning or creating a robust website just got quicker and simpler, thanks to two new web hosting and design plans announced today by AT&T*.

The new "Get Me Started" and "Build It For Me" plans are designed to help small businesses with what they need in their website building efforts. Many times, it's the initial steps of web development that are the largest obstacle for small business owners. Starting at $42.50 a month, the "Get Me Started" plan allows the customer to get a professionally designed website up and running quickly while still allowing them the ultimate control over their content through an easy to use Do-It-Yourself design tool. This solution offers customers both a three- and five-page option for their initial site. Once management of the site is turned over, small business owners will have access to online video tutorials on how they can implement more updates on their own.

The "Build It For Me" plan starts at $95 per month and allows customers to let AT&T design experts build, host and design their website with five-, 10- and 15-page options. With Enhanced Web Hosting, users can further explore maximizing search engine rankings and using the latest internet marketing tools.

Both the "Get Me Started" and "Build It For Me" plans include 30 minutes of our expert design assistance each month.

"A strong, well-designed and easy-to-find online presence for a small business is important because it builds customer trust and expands customer reach," said Ebrahim Keshavarz, vice president of Small Business Product Management for AT&T. "With the option to review their website's effectiveness each month, small business owners can make sure that their site is working as hard as possible for them while keeping their customers interested and engaged with fresh content."

"The competition is fierce in our industry and having a reliable, safe and compelling web presence allows us to stand out," said Tyron Jones, owner of Jackson, Miss.-based Lindsey Security Firm.

EMC Simplifies Storage Configuration Management as Customers Accelerate Journey to Private Cloud

EMC(R) Ionix(TM) Storage Configuration Advisor 2.0 Improves Efficiency of Storage Change Processes In Virtual Data Centers

BOSTON, May 11 -- EMC World -- EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today furthered its ability to help customers on their journey to the private cloud with EMC® Ionix(TM) Storage Configuration Advisor 2.0.  The new software automates the validation of storage configuration best-practices in physical and virtual environments, utilizes agentless discovery to simplify storage deployment and management, and provides detailed reports and trend analysis that improve storage change and configuration management processes.

Virtualization is the first step on the journey to a private cloud.  A virtualized data center increases flexibility by streamlining server and storage provisioning processes, but it also changes the way IT organizations manage storage in critical ways:  1) Virtualization accelerates the pace at which capacity can be allocated to new applications, and  2) Live migration capabilities like VMware VMotion(TM) and VMware Storage VMotion(TM) enable the dynamic movement of applications from one server to another or virtual disks from one array to another.  If not managed appropriately, this increases the difficulty of complying with configuration best practices, putting service levels at risk.

"Visibility into the Storage Area Network (SAN) has always been challenging, but this dynamic is accentuated in virtualized environments where applications, virtual machines, and server resources are engaged in a continuous game of hide-and-seek with the storage environment," said Bob Laliberte, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group.  "EMC Ionix Storage Configuration Advisor v2's ability to provide end-to-end visibility, change management, and policy control will help keep business-critical applications running, drive operational efficiencies, and minimize risk in today's increasingly dynamic data center."

As a core piece of the EMC Ionix Storage Resource Management (SRM) portfolio, Ionix Storage Configuration Advisor 2.0 performs near-real-time discovery, change tracking and best practice validation of the virtual SAN environment.  The solution significantly improves the efficiency of the change process, can raise service levels and accelerate/optimize planning and control as adoption of VMware-virtualized environments increases.

"As customers accelerate their adoption of VMware virtualization technologies, they can realize even more substantial efficiencies and achieve greater levels of agility," said Bogomil Balkansky, vice president, product marketing, Virtualization and Cloud platforms, VMware.  "Complementing the strengths of the VMware portfolio, EMC Ionix Storage Configuration Advisor enables customers to holistically manage their physical and virtual storage environments in an automated fashion.  Working together, EMC and VMware are helping customers realize the full power of virtualization."

Core to Ionix Storage Configuration Advisor 2.0 is the software's ability to:

  --  Offer complete coverage of the storage infrastructure from the virtual
      guest, to the VMware vSphere(TM) host, and down through the storage
      array;
  --  Use agentless discovery to simplify management and reduce deployment
      times by eliminating the need for host agents;
  --  Proactively detect infrastructure vulnerabilities to ensure customers
      are maintaining compliance with internal configuration policies,
      vendor guidelines, or industry best-practices;
  --  Provide an audit trail of SAN changes and rule violations, flagging
      potential service-affecting events as they occur;
  --  Offer extensive reporting capabilities that present customers with a
      detailed analysis of configurations, compliance breaches, and service
      levels.

"Enterprises today want to minimize operational costs within the data center by reducing the time spent planning and validating changes to the storage environment and resolving configuration issues," said Jay Mastaj, Senior Vice President and General Manager, EMC Ionix.  "The key is to eliminate downtime associated with human error and improve the maturity of the change and configuration management processes in virtualized environments.  EMC Ionix Storage Configuration Advisor meets these challenges head on, enabling our customers to more easily make their journey to the cloud."

Ionix Storage Configuration Advisor 2.0 is available now and is being demonstrated at EMC World 2010.  To learn more about the solution, please visit http://www.emc.com/collateral/analyst-reports/esg-ionixstorageconfigadvisorv2- ar.pdf for a detailed whitepaper by industry analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG).  Additionally, please see http://www.emc.com/collateral/demos/microsites/mediaplayer-video/gaining-contr ol-san-config-virtual-environments.htm to view a video on configuration management in virtual storage environments.  To keep up-to-date on all the news at EMC World, view the EMC World page online at http://www.emc.com/emcworldnewsroom.

Hobsons College Matching Technology Reinvents Online College Search

Hobsons' new feature uses innovative 'fuzzy matching' technology that aligns student interests with their ideal school

CINCINNATI, May 11 -- Hobsons, a leading provider of education products and services, is excited to announce the beta release of its innovative college matching  feature, designed to help students find the school most suited to their tastes. This patent-pending tool is the first and only college search available that uses "fuzzy matching" technology to understand what students want most out of their college choice and connect them with the schools that most closely resemble these priorities.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081111/CLTU018LOGO )

The new college search tool will initially be hosted on College Confidential, the leading Web community for college-bound students, and  will soon be released on Hobsons' other flagship sites at CollegeView.com, GradView.com, and USAEducationGuides.com.

The tool lets students find schools based on criteria that are most important to them--including location, school size, academic majors, great college towns, tuition and fees, campus setting, and many other items. Students rank these items based on how important they find each category. Finally, this produces an immediate list of ranked schools that are broader than traditional college searches, which simply display only the schools that meet rigid perimeters.

College search results are displayed based upon the percentage they match the student-determined qualifications. This gives students the opportunity to see institutions that best match their interests, including some that meet most of their preferences very well, but may not match on one or two criteria. This exposes students to great institutions that closely meet their interests that they may not have considered otherwise.

"Our new college search tool represents first-to-market technology that delivers the most comprehensive and immediate results to narrow down a student's college search," said Roger Dooley, vice president of digital marketing, Hobsons. "We're excited that students can now simply click, rank, and match their college criteria to create an immediate list of schools that are a good match. Our fuzzy matching approach will, we expect, create some interesting, 'outside-the-box' suggestions and highlight schools that students might not have otherwise considered."

Fifteen-thousand current College Confidential users were invited to participate in a closed beta test last month. The college matching feature was received very positively.  One user had this to say, "If I would have seen this earlier, I might have applied to a couple more schools. All of my top 3 choices were near the top of this list, and there were other colleges that I wish I had known about before."

Based on feedback from users, Hobsons will continue to add features and adjust the matching algorithm to improve the tool. To see the future of college search, visit College Confidential at http://www.collegeconfidential.com/.

AT&T Recovery Exercise to Simulate Metro Detroit Network Disaster

AT&T Business Continuity Study Indicates Local Companies Prepared and Investing in New Recovery Solutions

DEARBORN, Mich., May 11 -- Communications is always cited as priority number one in the drama that unfolds when natural or manmade disaster strikes and puts lives, property, and business assets at risk. With that in mind, AT&T*, working with local officials and business leaders, is conducting a full-scale disaster recovery simulation - a Network Disaster Recovery Exercise - in the Metro Detroit area from May 6 to May 14 near The Dearborn Inn.

"The city of Dearborn and the greater Detroit area business community are committed to continued sustainable economic growth - something that demands reliable and effective networks of communication," said Robert Ficano, chief executive officer of Wayne County. "Today's exercise gives our businesses and local government operations greater security in knowing the network and their connectivity are a top priority when dealing with major storms, terrorism or other disasters."

AT&T's 2010 Business Continuity Study found that many local Detroit businesses are prepared for disasters and several are investing in additional technology. Eighty-six percent of Detroit companies have business continuity plans and 77 percent are planning to invest in new technologies this year.

  Some additional local results from the study include:
  --  A majority of companies (55%) provide employees access to social
      networking tools, and 72 percent are concerned about the increasing
      use of this technology and its impact on security threats.
  --  Similarly, 73 percent are concerned about the increasing use of mobile
      networks and devices and their impact on security threats.
  --  A vast majority (80%) indicate they have special arrangements for
      communicating with key executives, while 81 percent have e-mail or
      text messaging capabilities to reach employees.
  --  Seven out of 10 (70%) Detroit businesses have systems in place that
      enable most employees to work from remote locations, and almost half
      (44%) have automated calling systems to reach employees by telephone
      or cell phone outside of work.

"In crises, communications are vital to help save lives by connecting emergency services and families to each other," said Jim Murray, President of AT&T Michigan. "While today's exercise shows the capability AT&T has get our network back online in case of a disaster, it pales in comparison to capabilities shown by our first responders. Not only do we owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude for the sacrifices they make on a daily basis, but we also owe them our best in repairing our network to allow them to do their jobs in case of an emergency."

The AT&T NDR exercise simulates the loss of network operations because of manmade or natural conditions. Last week, 22 semi-tractor trailers rolled into Dearborn, each with essential networking technology for creating a temporary central network office. A crew of more than 60 permanent and volunteer NDR team members will assemble and turn up the central network office, first using satellite communications and a satellite COLT (cell on light truck). The exercise tests and refines their speed and efficiency in restoring wired and wireline network operations in the event of an actual disaster. Essential to AT&T's own comprehensive business continuity plan, the Detroit NDR exercise will feature more than 25 disaster recovery trailers and vehicles, including emergency communications vehicles, and a variety of smaller utility and support trailers, as well as a search-and-rescue dog team demonstration.

"We live and work in a connected world, where a local manmade or natural disaster could have effects on productivity and progress at a global scale," said Mark Francis, Vice President - Global Network Operations Center, AT&T. "AT&T's NDR activities and team are vital to ensuring our wireline and wireless networks experience the minimal amount of downtime in the event of an emergency. It's our commitment to our customers' safety, their businesses' sustainability and continued innovation and possibility."

During the last 15 years, AT&T has invested more than $500 million in its NDR program, which includes specially trained managers, engineers and technicians from across the United States, as well as a fleet of more than 300 self-contained equipment trailers and support vehicles that house the same equipment and components as an AT&T data-routing or voice-switching center. In 2008, AT&T announced that its NDR organization had consolidated wireless, wired and backbone network recovery capabilities, enabling AT&T to bring an integrated approach to disaster recovery that helps ensure the flow of both wireless and wired communications during times of need.

Billeo Helps Financial Institutions Offer Customers More Flexibility and Choice in Online Bill Pay with PayDirect Assistant

For the First Time Ever, Bank Customers Can Pay Bills Instantly - And Now With Debit Cards and Credit Cards

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11 -- FinovateSpring 2010 -- Billeo (http://www.billeo.com) - a suite of Online Assistants that save people time and money in all types of online transactions, from shopping to bill pay - today announced PayDirect Assistant, a new patent-pending online service that adds first-of-its-kind features and functionality to banks' online bill pay services. Now 31 million bank bill pay customers can make immediate payments - even on the bill's due date - using their debit card or credit card.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091215/BILLEOLOGO)

"We developed PayDirect Assistant to address two common points of frustration for consumers who use their bank's online bill pay services. They can't pay bills instantly, and they can't pay with a card. In fact, of the 31 million bank pay customers, more than half still go to a biller's website to make a same-day payment or earn rewards by paying with a card," said Murali Subbarao, founder and CEO of Billeo. "PayDirect Assistant provides an easy way for our banking partners to enhance their online bill pay services with little effort on their part, attract new bill pay customers and improve their existing customers' bill pay experiences with added choice and speed."

There are more than 8,000 billers that accept credit and debit cards as forms of payments - and now banks can give the 47 million households who currently pay directly to biller websites a one-stop, organized place to pay all their bills: from their bank's website. Billeo's PayDirect Assistant improves customer experience with their banks, and creates new revenue streams for the financial institutions.

  For banks: To get started, there are two easy choices:
  1. If already offering an in-house bill pay solution, they simply can
     integrate with Billeo and the PayDirect Assistant will go live for
     customers.
  2. If using a third-party bill pay consolidator, they can ask their
     service provider to integrate with Billeo to extend the value of the
     agreement and better serve customers.

For bank customers: Upon sign-in at their bank's website, customers activate Billeo's PayDirect Assistant with a simple click. It only takes three steps for a consumer to pay a bill using Billeo's PayDirect Assistant:

  1. The customer selects a biller through their bank's billing directory,
     and Billeo's PayDirect Assistant brings them directly to the biller's
     website to log in, securely saving credentials to enable easy log-in
     for future payments.
  2. Billeo's PayDirect Assistant automatically fills the card details on
     the biller's payment page.
  3. After the customer pays a bill, Billeo's PayDirect Assistant saves a
     receipt on the bank's website, creating a centralized record of payment
     history.

Billeo's PayDirect Assistant is the ultimate online bill pay assistant, autofilling information throughout the process - from passwords to credit card numbers - and keeping all bill payments organized on the bank's website.

"The card-based online bill pay space is projected to be $1.4 trillion in volume, making the service very attractive to banks," continued Subbarao. "We are working with our various bank partners to enhance their bill pay offerings with features that their customers want, thereby improving customer satisfaction and retention. PayDirect Assistant is a win-win-win for banks, billers and their customers alike."

Billeo's PayDirect Assistant is the company's latest service geared toward helping people reap the rewards of transacting online. Billeo works with several large financial institutions to help improve their customers' online shopping and bill pay experiences, including Visa, American Express, Discover, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank and NetSpend. Interest on Billeo's PayDirect Assistant from the financial community is strong, with many players working with Billeo to implement the service.

About Billeo, Inc.

Billeo provides a suite of Online Assistants that save people time and money in all types of online transactions, from shopping to bill pay. Its latest tool, the Offer Assistant, delivers high-quality discounts and deals from the loyalty programs of major card programs such as American Express, Visa and others - with no work required. Billeo was founded by seasoned executives well-versed in the online shopping and bill payment spaces.

Obopay Announces New Offering: Mobile Money For Banks

Obopay's bank-branded mobile money solution enables banks to quickly and seamlessly join growing wave of mobile transactions

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 11 -- Obopay, the pioneer in mobile payments, today announced Mobile Money for Banks, which will allow banks to deploy their own branded mobile money service.  Designed to make bank accounts the anchor for all current and future mobile money transactions, the service combines complete brand control and a full range of mobile transactions and applications with simple low-cost integration and deployment.  Mobile Money for Banks includes the ability to send and transfer money, makes payment card acceptance available to everyone and can be implemented in 30 days or less.

One of the biggest advantages of Mobile Money for Banks is the opportunity to replace a substantial amount of cash and check transactions, which turns a cost center into a revenue opportunity for the bank.  Cash and checks remain the predominate payment method used by consumers and cash alone is still projected to make up over 27 percent of all consumer payment methods by 2012 according to The Nilson Report, this despite continued growth in debit card usage.  According to Payment News, less than 30% of all small businesses accept any form of electronic payment.  It's not surprising therefore that mobile payments are among the top areas in which banks plan to invest in 2010 according to Ovum, and that they will be "mainstream" and a top ten mobile application by 2012 according to Gartner.  Smartphones are at the center of this movement.  In the U.S., there was a 39% year-over-year increase in shipments of smartphones in the fourth quarter of 2009.  In that same period, Apple's iPhone shipments grew by 98%.  Smart phones are expected to continue to grow to make up nearly half of all phones in the market by 2011 according to Nielsen.

While banks hope consumers would prefer to use a mobile payment system from their trusted financial service provider, banks are going to face increasing competitive pressure from non-traditional players outside the industry as well as their traditional competitors.   The roughly five million people who donated by text message following the disaster in Haiti, for example, were facilitated by carriers rather than banks.  In Canada, carriers have come together to establish a competitive mobile payment service.

"Any bank that isn't looking at how to enter the mobile money market as quickly as possible is risking the loss of business to competitors, the carriers, or PayPal", said Bob Hedges, Managing Partner of Mercatus, "Given the considerable level of consumer interest, what banks need is a solution that is easy to implement, inexpensive and fast to deploy.  We should anticipate a wave of bank deployments over the next six months."

Mobile Money for Banks gives financial institutions the opportunity to bring to market quickly branded smart phone, Blackberry and iPhone applications, as well as Mobile Internet, SMS and IVR services and a full range of website capabilities.  It is quick and low cost for banks to deploy because it leverages established connections and payment processes to existing payment networks and it provides maximum mobile coverage through established distribution with mobile carriers.

"We have been at the forefront of mobile payments for five years," said Obopay CEO Carol Realini.  "Mobile Money for Banks incorporates our knowledge and expertise in the most successful use cases, applications and capabilities with technology that makes it extremely easy for banks to get into mobile payments with their own brand."

  Mobile Money for Banks includes the following products:

  --  Get Paid by Obopay

Enables payments to be received for products or services.  Anyone, including small businesses or individuals, can accept debit card or ACH payments from anyone.  Money is received directly into the recipient's bank account.  This includes the capability to accept payments directly from a mobile phone, website or email.  Obopay offers a number of tools that people can use to get paid including payment buttons for websites, payment links for emails or email invoices, and social networking widgets.

--  Mobile P2P by Obopay

Enables bank customers the ability to link and send money to anyone directly from their own bank account using a debit card.  Obopay takes care of validation and regulatory compliance.  Recipients don't have to be signed up for the service to receive the money and can direct the funds into their own bank account using their debit card number or bank account and routing number. They can also direct the funds to a pre-paid card, if they choose, and get instant access to the funds for online shopping.

--  Family Money by Obopay

Enables bank customers to send money instantly to family members for emergencies or regularly scheduled payments.  Family members receiving the money can direct it to their own bank account if they have one or, if the senders prefer, they can provide them with their own personalized prepaid card, which is great for teens.  Parents can "top-off" funds instantly from their accounts or on a regularly scheduled basis.  Use of the prepaid debit card allows parents to monitor spending in real time.

--  Transfer Money by Obopay

Enables account-to-account transfers, allowing customers to exchange funds from their bank accounts to accounts outside of their bank.  This is accomplished by simply linking the accounts they want to send money to by entering that account's debit card number or its bank account and routing number.

Obopay offers a variety of inexpensive and flexible integration options including fully branded standalone service offerings for web and mobile applications, as well as single sign on (SSO).  Payment system integration options enable the bank's accounts to be anchors for all mobile transactions through integration with existing debit card network connections, or through the ACH network.  Core banking integrations are also available.

About Obopay

Founded in 2005, Obopay, Inc., (banks.obopay.com) offers financial institutions an open, trusted, secure and interoperable mobile payments service by transforming any mobile phone into a convenient and easy way to send and receive money.  The company's Mobile Money for Banks offers bank-branded, account-centric mobile service quickly, painlessly and at low deployment cost.  Obopay's broad-based offering addresses the needs of consumers and businesses around the world by providing a ubiquitous service that delivers value, empowers lives and improves opportunity for merchants both in the physical and virtual worlds.  The company provides innovative mobile money services making it easy for mobile phone users to securely send and receive money, top-up their mobile, buy online, buy via mobile, pay bills and pay small businesses.  Obopay believes the power is in the network and has established global partnerships that include Nokia, MasterCard, Citibank, AT&T, Verizon, Essar, Yes Bank in India, Blackberry and Societe Generale.  Global headquarters are in Redwood City, CA with operations in India.

Backbase Showcases Next-Generation Customer Experience Portal Software at FinovateSpring 2010

iPad Demonstration To Show Innovative Solution that Transforms Financial Portal into Dynamic Online Sales Channel that Drives New Revenues

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11 -- Backbase will demonstrate its groundbreaking Customer Experience Portal software at the FinovateSpring 2010 Conference, May 11, in San Francisco. Show attendees will see how Backbase Portal software transforms the traditional customer facing portal into a dynamic online sales channel and a modern Web 2.0 customer self-service platform.

"As our conversations with banks illustrate, the online banking portal has changed little over the past ten years," said Jouk Pleiter, CEO of Backbase. "In stark contrast to the one-size-fits-all approach of a traditional portal, Backbase allows organizations to automatically emulate the face-to-face banking experience that recognizes each customer's unique financial needs and responds accordingly."

Backbase allows banks to optimize the online customer journey, engaging people through new dialog models, such as personal start page, live chat and co-browse, financial calculators, product finders, and other interactive applications that help customers meet their goals while creating cross-selling and up-selling opportunities.

Backbase provides financial services organizations with a highly personalized customer interaction platform that automatically identifies customers based on their profile, and routes each person through a unique journey. For example, high net worth professionals seeking investment opportunities receive the guidance they need, parents are directed to programs to save for tuition, and new graduates are directed to resources for paying off student loans.

By also offering a tailored mix of user experience design services and implementation services, Backbase enables business professionals at financial services organizations to take the lead in customer-centric online innovation, improving e-business results and optimizing online customer journeys faster, and more economically in comparison to traditional Web portals.

"In general, online financial services have changed little since online banking was first introduced, while customers have become far more sophisticated and Web-savvy," said David Singh, Backbase vice president of strategic accounts. "Backbase allows banks and other financial services providers to move to the next level of online customer interaction, by engaging customers with powerful Web 2.0 features and services that help them meet financial goals, while driving new revenues for the organization."

About Backbase

Backbase is the pioneer of Next-Generation Customer Experience Solution software that enables organizations to increase online conversion and sales and streamline online customer self-service capabilities. Backbase specializes in helping Global 2000 companies deliver B2C and B2B portals with its flagship Customer Experience Portal solution.

VSP Launches Diabetes Campaign for Consumers and Doctors in Five States

Emmy award winner Bill Nye the Science Guy featured in online educational video

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., May 11 -- VSP® Vision Care announced today the launch of VSP Eye on Diabetes, a campaign in five states focused on increasing awareness and understanding of the connection between eyecare and a person's general health. The campaign will also highlight the important role eye doctors play in the detection and treatment of diabetes.

The campaign launches May 21 in Little Rock, AR continuing to Topeka, KS; Austin, TX; Denver, CO and Indianapolis, IN.

The campaign includes an online video with Emmy award winner Bill Nye the Science Guy and certified diabetes educator, Roger Phelps, OD, exploring the link between comprehensive eye exams and serious diseases including diabetes to be released this summer at http://www.facebook.com/VSPVisionCare.

Additionally, VSP has partnered with the American Diabetes Association® (ADA) to create a wealth of diabetes information which is available on the VSP Diabetes Discovery Center (http://www.vsp.com/discovery) and the "Ask the Eye Doctor" section on the ADA web site, where consumers can post questions to Dr. Phelps related to eye health and diabetes.

A free continuing education course, approved by the Council on Optometric Practitioner Education (COPE), will be offered in each city for all licensed optometrists. Leading the courses are nationally-recognized speakers in the areas of diabetes, ocular disease and systemic disease, Jeffry Gerson, OD, and A. Paul Chous, OD.

"The first of its kind, the VSP Eye on Diabetes campaign is designed to increase consumer awareness around the importance of comprehensive eyecare in detecting and managing diabetes, as well as support our doctors with continuing education in providing this essential care," stated Cheryl Johnson, VSP's Vice President of Provider Services. "We know that through annual comprehensive eye exams, optometrists play a critical role for patients with diabetes, both through early detection opportunities and on-going management of the disease."

In addition to the COPE-approved course, the VSP Mobile Eyes® program, in partnership with the ADA, the respective state optometric associations and local VSP network doctors, will provide free comprehensive eye exams, eyewear and diabetes screenings to low income, uninsured and underinsured families during a scheduled day of outreach in each of the cities.

"The most important message to convey to patients and other healthcare providers is that we understand diabetes and are a key member of your diabetes-care team," noted Dr. Chous. "Diabetes doesn't cause health-related complications - poorly controlled diabetes causes those complications."

VSP Global(SM) includes VSP Vision Care, the largest not-for-profit vision benefits and services company in the United States with 55 million members; Marchon® Eyewear Inc., one of the world's largest manufacturers, designers and distributors of quality fashion and technologically-advanced eyewear and sunwear; Eyefinity®/Officemate® which offer innovative solutions and the premier management software and technology to improve overall practice management and patient experience; VSP Optics Group, industry leaders in new technologies, production processes, service and logistics.

ChannelService(TM) - A New Low Risk Option for IT Companies Seeking Growth in Global Channel Sales

LONDON, May 11, 2010--     Increasing demand for Export Creation and Channel Development services
has led Delta International, whose clients include IBM, SAP and HP, to launch
a new company aimed at organisations looking for a low risk option to grow
their channel sales. The new company is called Delta Channel Services Ltd.

    According to John Miller, MD of Delta International, "The recession in
the West has forced IT companies to look to growth markets to sell their
Products and Services. Countries like India, where they are expecting 12%
economic growth this year, offer great opportunities but SMEs generally do
not have the resources to tackle these markets and are concerned about the
risk involved."

    The new one stop shop service, ChannelService(TM), includes all aspects
of international business from Market Intelligence to the total Outsourced
Management of Sales and Marketing operations and is available on a
subscription model. Clients do not have to employ overseas staff, develop
local knowledge or manage remote Partners. This is all done by Delta
providing "Channels as a Service."

    Guy Armstrong, formally Group MD at ACAL Parts Services, has been brought
in to manage the new company.

    "We have Associates and Companies in every major economy, worldwide. When
a Client brings us their Product we can usually have them up and running in a
new market within weeks. Through our extensive local knowledge, we find
Partners, develop a business plan, train and then manage them on an ongoing
basis. In addition, we offer companies who already have international Sales
Channels, an option for a more flexible and lower cost coverage model," says
Guy.

    Graham Kingsmill, CEO of IT Managed Services supplier Maxima PLC,
agrees:"The Indian market is important to us and Delta's expertise have
proven of great value in the flexible expansion of our operations."

    Delta Channel Services Ltd is attracting interest from Venture Capital
Companies looking at ways to maximise their return in IT companies and
Software Firms who are currently finding growth difficult.

AFP Launches $1.4 Million Advertising Blitz to Expose FCC's Proposed Internet Takeover

New TV ads and website aim to highlight adverse effects of government regulation of broadband

WASHINGTON, May 11 -- Americans for Prosperity (AFP) announced today a $1.4 million advertising blitz to educate consumers on the harms of looming Internet regulations at the Federal Communications Commission. The effort, hosted on AFP's new website NoInternetTakeover.com, comes in the wake of FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski's proposal to circumvent the clear decision of the D.C. Court of Appeals in Comcast v. FCC by pursuing an even more extreme regulatory measure of Title II reclassification.

AFP's television spot -- available on NoInternetTakeover.com -- will initially run in Pennsylvania and Hawaii, as well as on national cable and in the Washington, D.C. market.

"The wave of new regulations proposed by the FCC amounts to nothing less than a Washington takeover of the Internet," says AFP Vice President for Policy Phil Kerpen. "In light of this looming threat, our organization is devoting significant resources -- over $1.4 million -- to ensure Americans are aware of what's at stake in this debate over the future of the Internet.

"Despite evidence to the contrary, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski and other advocates of sweeping regulations continue to claim that the Internet is a market failure and, therefore, requires massive government intervention. So-called 'reclassification' of broadband Internet as a 'Title II' telecommunications service -- a telephone system -- would halt innovation, deter new private investment, and limit future options for consumers.

"If recently attempted 'net neutrality' regulations -- struck down unanimously by the D.C. Circuit Court -- were akin to a declaration of war on real Internet freedom, then Chairman Genachowski's new call for reclassification qualifies as nuclear escalation. The FCC wants to reduce the Internet to an old-fashioned government-regulated utility.

"Simply put, the Internet has achieved remarkable success through private competition, with companies providing quality, high-speed broadband access for 95% of U.S. consumers. AFP warns that if Washington regulators succeed, future success of the Internet will be in jeopardy."

Kerpen concludes, "Americans are sick of bailouts and takeovers and they want the dominoes to stop falling. Our nationwide 'No Internet Takeover' campaign, with added focus on special election battlegrounds Hawaii and Pennsylvania, will rally Americans to fight back and stop a Washington takeover of the Internet."

AFP's new website -- http://www.NoInternetTakeover.com -- provides information and tools for Americans to engage their members of Congress on this critical issue.

Americans for Prosperity(TM) (AFP) is committed to educating citizens about economic policy and mobilizing those citizens as advocates in the public policy process. AFP is an organization of grassroots leaders who engage citizens in the name of limited government and free markets on the local, state and federal levels. AFP has more than 1 million members nationwide and has 30 state chapters and affiliates. The grassroots members of AFP advocate for public policies that champion the principles of entrepreneurship and fiscal and regulatory restraint. More than 60,000 Americans in all 50 states have made a financial investment in AFP and AFP Foundation.

Nokia Simplifies its Organizational Structure to Accelerate Execution and Innovation

ESPOO, Finland, May 11, 2010--     To increase competitiveness and deliver a stronger and more
differentiated consumer experience, Nokia will introduce a simplified company
structure for its devices and services business comprised of three units:
Mobile Solutions, Mobile Phones and Markets. Effective July 1, 2010, the move
aims to accelerate product innovation and software execution in line with the
company's goals of integrating content, applications and services into its
mobile computer, smartphone and mobile phone portfolio.

    The new Mobile Solutions unit will concentrate on the company's high-end
mobile computer and smartphone portfolio. Based on both the MeeGo and Symbian
software platforms respectively, these devices will be tightly integrated
with Nokia's Internet services to increase the combined value for consumers.

    The renewed Mobile Phones unit will focus on maintaining Nokia's
leadership in the feature-rich mobile phone market and driving the direction
of Series 40, the world's largest mobile operating system. Both the Mobile
Solutions and Mobile Phones units will have dedicated portfolio management,
including product planning, R&D and dedicated software assets.

    Markets will be responsible for Nokia's 'go-to-market' activities,
including sales and marketing, management of Nokia's global supply chains and
sourcing operations.

    "In addition to extending our leadership in mobile phones, we are
decisively moving to respond faster to growth opportunities we expect in
smartphones and mobile computers," says Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO of Nokia.
"Nokia's new organizational structure is designed to speed up execution and
accelerate innovation, both short-term and longer-term. We believe that this
will allow us to build stronger mobile solutions - a portfolio of products
and integrated services that connect people and enable new ways of
communicating, sharing and experiencing mobility."

    To strike the right balance between business continuity, professional
competencies and faster execution, this organizational realignment includes
changes among Nokia's senior executives.

    The Mobile Solutions unit will be headed by Anssi Vanjoki and be
comprised of MeeGo Computers, led by Alberto Torres, and Symbian Smartphones,
led by Jo Harlow. As part of the Mobile Solutions unit, Services - led by
Tero Ojanpera - will continue to develop Ovi as an integrated service into
smartphones and mobile computers, and lead the development and deployment of
new services into Nokia's mobile phones. Nokia has also appointed Rich Green
to the position of Chief Technology Officer, assuming responsibility for
driving common technology architecture across Nokia. Green brings a wealth of
experience from his time in Silicon Valley, including a number of years at
Sun Microsystems. He will report to Anssi Vanjoki.

    Headed by Mary McDowell, the Mobile Phones unit will work closely with
Services to add value to lower-end devices through offerings such as Ovi Life
Tools, Ovi Mail, Ovi Store and Nokia Money.

    The Markets unit will continue to focus on Nokia's overall sales and
marketing efforts, solution selling, transformation to digital marketing and
consolidation and globalization of Nokia's supply chain and sourcing. Markets
will be headed by Niklas Savander.

    Kai Oistamo assumes the role of Chief Development Officer and head of
Corporate Development.

    Rick Simonson, who currently heads Mobile Phones, has decided to retire
from full-time duties at Nokia. Simonson will leave the Nokia Group Executive
Board effective June 30, 2010. However, he will continue as a senior advisor
to Nokia, focusing on Nokia Siemens Networks, until the end of the year.
Simonson will continue to serve as a member of Nokia Siemens Networks' Board
of Directors after he leaves Nokia.

    "Rick has made a substantial contribution and leaves behind a legacy in
operational and financial leadership. I would like to thank him for his
invaluable contribution," says Kallasvuo. "We will certainly miss Rick, but
are pleased he will continue as a senior advisor to Nokia until the end of
year, and continue as an NSN board member beyond that."

    As of July 1, 2010 Nokia's Group Executive Board will consist of the
following members: Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Esko Aho, Juha Akras, Timo
Ihamuotila, Mary McDowell, Kai Oistamo, Tero Ojanpera, Niklas Savander,
Alberto Torres, and Anssi Vanjoki.

    A chart of the new organizational structure, valid from July 1, 2010, is
available at http://www.nokia.com/A4630650?category=company

Volkswagen of America Selects OEConnection's Online Technology for its Genuine Advantage Collision Parts Marketing Program

Internet-Based CollisionLink(R) and Automaker Parts Program Drive OEM Parts Sales and Help Dealers Compete With Alternative Crash Parts

RICHFIELD, Ohio, May 11 -- OEConnection LLC, the leading online parts and service exchange in the automotive industry, announced today that Volkswagen of America, Inc. has selected OEConnection's CollisionLink Internet-based parts ordering and fulfillment solution for Volkswagen dealerships and its collision repair facility customers nationwide.  Central to this agreement is CollisionLink's Parts Marketing Administration (PMA) technology, which automates and manages automaker parts programs.  An enhanced capability of CollisionLink, PMA was designed to help dealerships take advantage of automaker incentives and discounted promotions to sell more Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts to body shops as an alternative to lower-priced aftermarket and salvage collision parts.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030515/OECONNLOGO )

CollisionLink is an all-makes, all-models, online part ordering and fulfillment solution endorsed by multiple automakers and used by thousands of automobile dealerships and collision body shops nationwide.  Joining American Honda, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Chrysler, and Nissan, Volkswagen of America represents the sixth automaker - and the first European-based manufacturer - using OEConnection's PMA technology to manage its parts marketing programs through CollisionLink.  Volkswagen of America will manage its Genuine Advantage collision parts marketing program exclusively through CollisionLink.

"We welcome Volkswagen and its wholesale parts distributors to our online OEM marketplace," said OEConnection Sr. Vice president and Chief Commercial Officer, Mark Tomasetti.  "The implementation of CollisionLink, combined with Volkswagen's strategic parts pricing strategy, creates growth opportunities for Volkswagen of America, its dealerships and their collision repair facility customers.  Industry-wide, dealerships that use CollisionLink's PMA technology are converting originally-specified non-OEM parts to OEM parts sales at steadily rising rates - up to 70% of the time for some automaker programs."

OEConnection's CollisionLink streamlines the OEM collision parts ordering process between body shops and supplying dealers by reducing, if not eliminating, inefficient phone and fax ordering.  CollisionLink's PMA technology takes it a step further.  It seamlessly integrates OEM parts marketing programs into the users' order processing workflow.  Dealers "see" a body shop's intended non-OEM parts order, identify the parts that offer pricing incentives through an OEM's marketing program, and seize an upsell opportunity.  Based on a set of rules defined by an OEM, the technology automatically calculates parts discounts, alerts both body shops and dealers that a part qualifies for the discount, and handles the administrative work between the competitive sale and the automaker reimbursement.

Dan Ducharme, Parts Strategist for Volkswagen of America said, "As the largest European carmaker and the third largest automaker in the world, Volkswagen has a network of more than 580 U.S. dealerships that act as wholesale distributors of OEM collision parts.  This new arrangement emphasizes Volkswagen's goal of helping these dealerships sell more OEM parts and building relationships with their repair facility customers.  Everyone who uses CollisionLink has something to gain.  As the manufacturer, we can easily manage our Genuine Advantage collision parts program; our dealerships will have the opportunity to efficiently process parts orders and sell more Volkswagen OEM parts; and repair facility customers will be able to easily purchase OEM parts at completive prices. Ultimately, Volkswagen owners benefit because they receive better quality parts for collision repairs."  Volkswagen will launch this program to select dealerships in August, 2010. Additional Genuine Advantage program information will be available on http://www.vwparts.com.

About OEConnection LLC:  OEConnection is the leading Online Parts & Service Exchange (OPSX) in the automotive industry, serving over 15,000 auto and truck dealerships, collision repair shops, fleets, tire distributors and manufacturers.  OEConnection products are used over 5 million times each month to buy, sell and manage original equipment parts, facilitating an estimated $12 billion in annual replacement parts trade.  The company is headquartered in the greater Cleveland area at 4205 Highlander Parkway, Richfield, Ohio, 44286.  Additional information is available at http://www.oeconnection.com or by emailing Kyle.McChesney@OEConnection.com.

About CollisionLink's Parts Marketing Administration (PMA):  Parts Marketing Administration (PMA) is a CollisionLink capability that executes OEM discount parts programs based on OEM rules and guidelines.  It was designed to help dealers sell more OE parts and, at the same time, allow body shops to better manage their average repair costs.

Volkswagen of America, Inc.

Founded in 1955, Volkswagen of America, Inc. is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia.  It is a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany.  Volkswagen is one of the world's largest producers of passenger cars and Europe's largest automaker.  Volkswagen sells the New Beetle, New Beetle convertible, Golf, GTI, Jetta, Jetta SportWagen, Passat, Passat wagon, Eos, CC, Tiguan, Touareg and Routan through approximately 600 independent U.S. dealers.  All 2010 Volkswagen models come standard-equipped with Electronic Stabilization Program.  This is important because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has called ESC the most effective new vehicle safety technology since the safety belt.

Akamai Announces Expanded Support for the Adobe Flash Platform

Integration of Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming and Adobe Flash Access 2.0 into the Akamai HD Network Planned

NEW YORK, May 11 -- STREAMING MEDIA EAST CONFERENCE -- Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKAM), the leader in powering video, dynamic transactions and enterprise applications online, today announced plans to integrate support for Adobe®  HTTP Dynamic Streaming and Adobe Flash® Access(TM) 2.0 into the Akamai HD Network.  The Akamai HD Network will simplify the adoption of HTTP Dynamic Streaming for customers utilizing Flash technology by leveraging unique "in the network" packaging and encryption.  With the integration of Adobe's technology and the Akamai HD Network, the two companies will allow customers to enable high-quality, secure media experiences based on the Adobe Flash Platform.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100225/AKAMAILOGO )

Today's announcement is an evolution of a long standing alliance between the two companies, and showcases Akamai's continued commitment to working with the Adobe Flash technology.  This has been demonstrated over the years through Akamai's support for market-leading Adobe products including Adobe Flash Media Server, and more recently, the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF), of which Akamai was a founding partner.  Akamai and Adobe have worked together over the last two years to develop a common industry approach to simplified player development including the Open Video Player and OSMF.  Akamai is a key distribution channel for video delivered via the Flash Player, providing a strong technology foundation for the industry to grow and enabling industry milestones, such as President Barack Obama's inauguration where the Akamai network peaked at more than 1Tbps, as well as support for major live online sporting events around the globe.

Akamai's HD for the Adobe Flash Platform is uniquely designed to simplify the adoption of HTTP Dynamic Streaming for existing customers utilizing Flash technology.  In particular, the Akamai HD for the Adobe Flash Platform will allow a customer to leverage its existing workflow to provide content to the Akamai HD Network - much like it does today.  The Akamai HD Network, through unique Edge-based packaging technology, will then automatically convert the content to be delivered via HTTP Dynamic Streaming into the Adobe Flash run time, allowing customers to adopt the new HTTP Dynamic Streaming capabilities with minimal change or investment in how they manage their content.  In addition, Akamai plans to integrate Adobe Flash Access 2.0 - a studio-approved content protection solution accepted by the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) - into the Akamai HD for the Adobe Flash Platform.  This solution is designed to offer customers an added security option, in addition to the layers of Akamai security technology of token authorization, player verification, geo-blocking and secure media transport via SSL, and allows them to swiftly and easily package and secure their existing video content - whether in MP4, FLV or F4V - for delivery over the Akamai HD Network.

Akamai's HD Network was developed with the goal of delivering the highest quality experience at broadcast audience scale(1) across the industry's most popular devices, platforms and runtimes.  Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming is a new Adobe-defined, standards-based delivery method for enabling on-demand and live adaptive bitrate video streaming over HTTP connections.  Adobe Flash Access 2.0 is a robust content protection solution for both live and video on demand content.  Akamai's support for this new Adobe technology will be made available as part of Akamai HD Network for the Adobe Flash Platform.  Akamai plans to trial both technologies with customers this summer and to make a service more broadly available later in the year.

"Akamai and Adobe are dedicated to enabling the next generation of video experiences with Flash technology," said Doug Mack, Vice President and General Manager, Digital Imaging and Rich Media Solutions at Adobe.  "Both companies continue to build on their long history of collaboration to ensure the Flash Platform supports the huge scale of media that we can expect as more premium content and audiences come online.  Together, Adobe and Akamai will continue to innovate with a goal of empowering content owners to create the most engaging, high quality experiences for their viewers, across devices, and at global scale."

"Akamai and Adobe have a long history of working together to enable high-quality video experiences based on the Adobe Flash Platform.  The Akamai HD Network for the Adobe Flash Platform is just another example of that," said Chris Schoettle, Executive Vice President of Products at Akamai.  "Combining the new capabilities of Adobe's Flash technology with the scale and reach of the existing Akamai HD for Adobe Flash Platform is another great step toward enabling high quality video experiences for customers using Flash technology.  This is true collaborative innovation that we believe will give the industry the technology, scale and reach they require."
