(NYSE: MOT) today announced it has been selected by Lithuania's Ministry of Interior to deliver a nationwide Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) communications network. Lithuania's nationwide TETRA network will serve the border guard, customs, emergency services (police, fire and ambulance) and the state secret service.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Secure cross-functional and cross-border voice and data communication systems will help ensure faster and easier collaboration amongst Lithuania's public safety organizations across the country. An IP-based TETRA solution, the network will support data transmission, enabling public safety organizations to send data -- such as fingerprints, passport information, license plates and pictures -- to and from handheld TETRA devices and central computer systems.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Based on TETRA, the open standard for digital private mobile radio (PMR), the network also ensures Lithuania fulfils Schengen cross-border communication requirements.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Motorola, working together with JSC INTA, Motorola's local distributor, is responsible for the design and implementation of the TETRA network. Roll-out of the new network is expected to begin in Q2 2007, with completion due by Q4 2007. Motorola plans to hand the network over to Lithuania's Ministry of Interior at the end of 2007. The contract also includes 6,200 TETRA radio devices, with built-in global position system (GPS) to pinpoint the users' location.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "With the need to manage secure cross-functional and cross-border communications, Lithuania will benefit greatly from its investment in one of the most up-to-date TETRA networks in the world," says John Gherghetta, corporate vice president and general manager, EMEA Networks &amp; Enterprise, Motorola. "This network will enable the emergency services operating across the country to achieve new levels of integration and collaboration, which will only improve the quality and effectiveness of the services they deliver."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Lithuania's shared digital radio communication network will be based on Motorola Dimetra IP, a highly scalable TETRA Over IP switch solution that offers a more resilient, robust and reliable network for seamless communication amongst users -- across borders, networks and devices. It supports voice, telephony, messaging and data services that enable mobile applications such as database enquiries and image transmission, on a single network virtually anytime, anywhere, quickly and securely.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The contract builds on Motorola's public safety heritage and its leading position within the TETRA market. Motorola is committed to innovation on the TETRA platform, including the creation of applications and the development of TETRA II technology.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    TETRA is the open standard for PMR as defined by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute).  Motorola has been instrumental, together with other TETRA industry players, in supporting the standard since its inception in the late 1980s. TETRA has evolved to become a mission- critical tool in public safety and has been rolled out across 77 countries worldwide. Motorola continues to work with industry partners, the TETRA Association and ETSI to drive the standard forward.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    About Motorola&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Motorola is known around the world for innovation and leadership in wireless and broadband communications.

(NYSE: MOT) announced today that the company will supply core network infrastructure, software, implementation services and maintenance to deliver, together with Siemens, a TETRA radio communications network for the Norwegian national public safety network, Nodnett, the new multi agency digital radio communication system owned by a new separate administration body, under the Ministry of Justice and the Police. &lt;p&gt;The network will be based on Motorola's TETRA Over IP switch solution and Motorola Dimetra IP, which offers a resilient, robust and reliable network for seamless communication. Motorola's technology and services also support the future development of the nationwide system, including the provision of higher data speeds to support the deployment of advanced mobile data solutions. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"The tender is technology neutral. The Siemens-led team, which includes Motorola, provided the most compelling national public safety network. It scored highly in evaluation from a technical and cost perspective, and met the requirements we set out in the brief," says Tor Helge Lyngstol, director and general manager of Nodnett. "The IP TETRA solution proved the most robust, modern and seamless solution available." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The total implementation of Nodnett, a NOK 3.6 billion (~ euro 450m) investment(1) that includes a shared digital radio communication network for Norway's public safety organisations, will begin in 2007 and be available nationwide by the end of 2011. The initial implementation phase covers the southern, most populated, part of Norway and is due for completion by the end of 2008. This nationwide modern secure and robust digital radio network will improve frontline activity and coordination which will improve the safety and security of the Norwegian public. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The new network will provide the Norwegian public safety services with secure cross-functional and cross-border voice communication, talk groups, direct mode access and data transmission. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Motorola Dimetra IP is an enhanced IP-based TETRA solution that is highly flexible and scalable to integrate voice, messaging and mobile applications (such as remote access to information databases and image transmission) on a single network. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Serving a population of 4.6 million dispersed over a complex topography of 324,000 square kilometres, this is a significant TETRA network," says Manuel Torres, vice president, Motorola Networks &amp; Enterprise. "It represents one of the most up-to-date TETRA networks in the world and will deliver significant benefits to Norway's mission-critical public safety workers, who routinely risk their own lives to protect the public." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The contract builds on Motorola's public safety heritage and its leading position within the TETRA market. Motorola delivered the world's first commercial TETRA network to another Norwegian customer, Oslo Gardemoen Airport, together with Siemens 10 years ago. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Motorola is committed to innovation on the TETRA platform including the creation of applications and the development of TETRAII, the next-generation TETRA network specification designed to facilitate higher data transfer speeds. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;About Motorola &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Motorola is known around the world for innovation and leadership in wireless and broadband communications.

(NYSE: MOT) announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Symbol Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: SBL). The transaction has a total equity value of approximately $3.9 billion on a fully-diluted basis. Symbol will be the core of Motorola's enterprise mobility business, uniquely positioning the company to take enterprise mobility to a new level. Motorola now will offer the broadest array of innovative products and technologies available that enable enterprise customers to have access to business-critical information anytime, anywhere. &lt;p&gt;As previously announced on September 19, 2006, the two companies signed a definitive merger agreement under which Motorola has now acquired all of the outstanding shares of Symbol common stock. The transaction was completed today following approval of the merger by Symbol shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders. With the closing of the transaction, trading in Symbol common stock was halted at the close of business today. Symbol now becomes a part of Motorola Networks &amp; Enterprise, a business with a combined revenue of $13 billion for 2005. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As companies look for strategies to address the growing need for a workforce that is mobile, yet connected to the information they need, Motorola's new enterprise mobility business will lead the marketplace by providing cutting-edge, end-to-end products and services, coupled with application-specific solutions from a vast channel partner network. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"By combining our complementary technology portfolios, deep industry- specific domain knowledge, sales channels and customer bases, the new Motorola enterprise mobility business establishes itself as a global leader in providing real-time technology solutions for customers, both inside and outside the four walls of their enterprise," said Greg Brown, president of Motorola Networks &amp;amp; Enterprise. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Motorola's enterprise mobility business will address the entire spectrum of enterprise mobility needs from the shop floor to the corner office, providing workers with access to information out in the field, in the factory, at cash registers, at a patient's bedside and throughout the supply chain. The end result is seamless information exchange across functions, geographies and devices that allows employees to make more informed decisions, be more productive and gain a competitive edge. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The enterprise mobility business will offer a device portfolio ranging from mobile office devices like the Motorola Q to rugged mobile and wearable computers from Symbol. The new business will be a leader in enterprise wireless infrastructure (WLAN), field network solutions, bar code scanning, radio frequency identification (RFID) solutions and network design and management software, including security applications. A comprehensive mobility management platform will enable CIOs and IT leaders to secure and manage mobile devices across the enterprise, delivering a platform to rapidly deploy applications and collaboration tools to increase worker productivity and efficiency. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In addition, Motorola enterprise mobility devices will integrate and utilize capabilities gained through Motorola's recently completed acquisition of Good Technology. Good Technology's wireless messaging, data access and handheld security offerings provide intuitive and advanced productivity solutions for mobile professionals with enterprise-level device security and management. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sal Iannuzzi, former president and CEO of Symbol, will serve as president of the new Motorola enterprise mobility business. The business will be based at the former Symbol headquarters building in Holtsville, N.Y., and will utilize resources throughout Motorola. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Through our merger with Motorola, we have delivered value to our shareholders and have created a business that is uniquely positioned to provide enterprise customers with an unrivaled product portfolio," said Iannuzzi. "We are blending Symbol's 30 years of enterprise expertise with Motorola's leadership in mobility to achieve an elevated position as a global enterprise mobility leader." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For information on the new Motorola enterprise mobility business, please visit http://www.motorola.com/symbol . &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Forward-Looking Statements &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This press release contains "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Any statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements and are based on Motorola's and Symbol's current expectations, which are subject to numerous risks and involve numerous uncertainties.

Motorola cautions the reader that the factors below, as well as those on pages 19 through 27 in Item 1A of Motorola's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in its other SEC filings and those in Symbol Technologies' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and in its other SEC filings, could cause Motorola's actual results to differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, include: (i) the possibility that the parties may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies within the expected time-frames or at all; (ii) Motorola's ability to successfully integrate Symbol Technologies' operations into those of Motorola and the possibility that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (iii) revenues following the transaction may be lower than expected; (iv) operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients or suppliers) may be greater than expected following the transaction; (v) the retention of certain key employees at Symbol Technologies; (vi) the inability to protect either party's intellectual property rights may weaken its competitive position; (vii) certain software is licensed from third parties who require, among other things, the payment of royalties, which could affect the development and enhancement of either party's products; (viii) third parties may claim that either party's products infringe their intellectual property rights. Motorola undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement or risk factor, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;About Motorola &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Motorola is known around the world for innovation and leadership in wireless and broadband communications.

Mobile today&lt;br /&gt;unveiled a significantly upgraded version of Concierge, the&lt;br /&gt;company's industry-leading mobile campaign management&lt;br /&gt;software. The software, which is currently in use by&lt;br /&gt;hundreds of small businesses, brands, and other&lt;br /&gt;organizations in the US, provides powerful, web-based tools&lt;br /&gt;for the management of mobile marketing and premium SMS&lt;br /&gt;campaigns. The new version of Concierge can be viewed at&lt;br /&gt;http://www.golivemobile.com.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;"As a wholesale provider of off-deck mobile content&lt;br /&gt;infrastructure, we have a very clear view into what features&lt;br /&gt;the market needs," remarked Steven Austine, VP of Customer&lt;br /&gt;Relations, GoLive! Mobile. "For example, the recent&lt;br /&gt;popularity of SMS real estate applications and other&lt;br /&gt;location-sensitive mobile apps have driven us to enhance our&lt;br /&gt;subscriber reports with fairly granular geographical&lt;br /&gt;statistics and grouping tools. Similarly, after the&lt;br /&gt;explosion of 41414.com's reverse auction application (dubbed&lt;br /&gt;'Limbo'), many of our customers asked us to incorporate a&lt;br /&gt;reverse auction module and so we responded."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Other upgrades to Concierge include enhanced multimedia&lt;br /&gt;content management capabilities, a fully automated pre-paid&lt;br /&gt;credits system, and upgraded campaign templates including&lt;br /&gt;text alerts, text-to-win, voting, database queries,&lt;br /&gt;ring-tones, wallpapers and more. Slated for release in&lt;br /&gt;February is Live Chat support for all Concierge users,&lt;br /&gt;Outlook Contacts integration for enterprise customers, and&lt;br /&gt;several other new features.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;"With Verizon's recent announcement on mobile marketing and&lt;br /&gt;rapidly growing consumer awareness of premium SMS, this is&lt;br /&gt;an exciting time for us and the industry as a whole," said&lt;br /&gt;Joel Givens, VP of Product Development at GoLive! Mobile.&lt;br /&gt;"We believe that by maintaining Concierge's status as the&lt;br /&gt;industry's premiere mobile marketing and billing suite, we&lt;br /&gt;will continue to capitalize on the industry's remarkable&lt;br /&gt;growth trend."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;About GoLive!

HomeRemote is an affordable, easy-to-use system that&lt;br /&gt;lets users control their household appliances and lighting&lt;br /&gt;both from within their homes and from anywhere in the world&lt;br /&gt;via a standard Internet web browser or mobile phone.  For&lt;br /&gt;added security, HomeRemote allows users to monitor their&lt;br /&gt;homes with live video from HomeRemote Wireless Video Cameras&lt;br /&gt;(HRNC1).  HomeRemote lets even novice users tailor their&lt;br /&gt;homes for personal comfort and control within minutes.  The&lt;br /&gt;HomeRemote System (HRGZ1) consists of an Internet Gateway&lt;br /&gt;plus handheld remote control for convenient, in-home control&lt;br /&gt;of lighting and appliances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Real-World Applications&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;The HomeRemote system utilizes Z-wave technology, an&lt;br /&gt;award-winning, reliable wireless standard that enables&lt;br /&gt;compatibility with a full selection of accessory devices,&lt;br /&gt;including lighting and climate controls, video cameras,&lt;br /&gt;garage door openers, and more.  With HomeRemote, users can&lt;br /&gt;monitor and control their devices, and help keep their homes&lt;br /&gt;secure as well.  By adding motion detectors and sensors to&lt;br /&gt;their home automation systems, users can receive emails or&lt;br /&gt;text messages on their cell phones when these devices are&lt;br /&gt;triggered.  While away, users can also set their indoor and&lt;br /&gt;outdoor lights to turn on at scheduled times, thereby&lt;br /&gt;warding off intruders by giving the appearance of a busy&lt;br /&gt;home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Giving Customers the Home Control Solution They Need&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;HomeRemote seamlessly integrates WiFi, IP-based technology,&lt;br /&gt;and Z-Wave home control technology to deliver a&lt;br /&gt;full-featured home automation solution that anyone can use.&lt;br /&gt;"In the past, home automation systems were too expensive and&lt;br /&gt;difficult to install. Hawking's HomeRemote System solves&lt;br /&gt;this issue by providing an affordable yet powerful solution&lt;br /&gt;that anybody can install," said Jason Owen, Hawking's Chief&lt;br /&gt;Manager.  "Hawking understands that customers want their&lt;br /&gt;hardware to work easily and intuitively, and always strives&lt;br /&gt;to provide the most convenient and powerful solution with&lt;br /&gt;all of its products."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Ease-of-Use&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;The HomeRemote System can be accessed through any Internet&lt;br /&gt;web browser by entering a custom user-selectable domain&lt;br /&gt;name, such as http://www.myhome.homeremote.net.  The web&lt;br /&gt;interface is organized by the rooms in a home and the&lt;br /&gt;devices within those rooms.  HomeRemote is also accessible&lt;br /&gt;through a mobile phone using the HomeRemote Cell-Link&lt;br /&gt;service.  Cell-Link allows users to install software on&lt;br /&gt;their cell phones that is customized to their home control&lt;br /&gt;configuration.  The HomeRemote Cell-Link service also&lt;br /&gt;provides users with live video on their cellular phones when&lt;br /&gt;used with a HomeRemote Wireless Video Camera (HRNC1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Pricing and Availability&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Hawking's HomeRemote line will begin shipping on March 1st,&lt;br /&gt;2007 through select retailers, direct marketers, e-commerce&lt;br /&gt;sites and distribution channels.

Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) today launched a beta version of Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2007 in Las Vegas. Yahoo! Go 2.0 is an innovative new application that redefines the mobile Internet experience for consumers through a unique product design, ability to personalize with content from the entire Internet and a reinvention of mobile search.  With this launch Yahoo! expands its mobile Internet leadership.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The Yahoo! Go 2.0 beta ( http://go.yahoo.com ) is available for consumers to download today on Motorola's new MOTORAZR maxx V6 and MOTORAZR V3xx devices as part of the two companies' ongoing alliance to deliver an optimized Yahoo! experience on the world's coolest devices. Beginning in the first half of 2007, Yahoo! Go 2.0 will be pre-loaded on select new mobile devices from Motorola. Consumers can also download Yahoo! Go 2.0 on more than 70 other mobile devices from major manufacturers worldwide and use it on most wireless networks.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Additionally, Yahoo! expects to distribute Yahoo! Go 2.0 through mobile operators worldwide including Bharti Airtel, DiGi Telecommunications (Malaysia), Globe Telecom, Hutchison India, Idea Cellular, Rogers Wireless, Smart Communications, Taiwan Mobile and 3 Group in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Ireland and Sweden.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "Yahoo! intends to be the number one mobile Internet player globally," said Marco Boerries, senior vice president of Connected Life, Yahoo!.  "Today we are changing the game by putting the full power of the open Internet into consumers' pockets. Yahoo! Go 2.0 creates an entirely new and beautiful experience that fits great phones, like the new MOTORAZR maxx V6 or V3xx devices."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "Consumers crave cool experiences on the coolest devices and the desire for seamless connectivity has never been stronger," said Scott Durchslag, corporate vice-president of Product and Xperience Invention, Motorola Mobile Devices.  "Integrating services like Yahoo! Go 2.0 with Motorola devices enables consumers to stay connected with the people, places and information they want, whenever they want it."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Yahoo! has created this new version of Yahoo! Go from the ground up to bring the Internet to the mobile phone with a suite of services that are fast, easy to use and highly personalizable. The unique carousel design of Yahoo! Go 2.0 makes it simple for consumers to navigate the selection of Yahoo! Go widgets for e-mail, local information and maps, news, sports, finance, entertainment, weather, photo sharing and search.  The new service also includes Yahoo! oneSearch(TM) a completely new mobile search service designed to give consumers what they want on their mobile phone - instant answers. Yahoo! Go 2.0 is the next generation of the service that launched for Symbian and Windows Mobile phones in 2006.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;pre&gt;     Key features of the service include:     -- Search reinvented for mobile consumers - oneSearch recognizes the        intent of a search term and presents relevant content - not just a list        of Web links to PC sites - on the results page.  Results are grouped by        subject making it easy to read through and drill down to get more        details.  (See press release titled "Yahoo! Reinvents Internet Search        for the Mobile Phone")     -- Be local, no matter where you are - The Local &amp; Maps widget gives        consumers quick access to comprehensive local directory information for        businesses across the U.S., enhanced with ratings and reviews from the        millions-strong Yahoo! community.  Interactive maps, driving directions        and real time traffic updates help consumers find their way.  Local        guides provide at-a-glance detail on what's happening in a specific        city that day as well as the most popular places to eat, shop and        visit.  Consumers can set their location and the experience will be        tailored appropriately.     -- Rich, highly personalizable content from millions of sources to keep        consumers connected - Current headlines and a breaking news ticker in        the News, Sports, Entertainment, Weather and Finance widgets keep        consumers connected to the information that matters to them.  Each        widget also includes a "command center" where consumers can access more        articles, use watchlists to track topics of interest - from sports        teams to stocks to celebrities - or add new content from the millions        of sources on the Web that publish in RSS.     -- Photo sharing keeps consumers connected to their community - The Flickr        widget integrates the Web's most innovative and prolific photo-sharing        community, making it easy for consumers to upload* and manage images        from their camera phone.  Consumers can also easily share photos, view        their friends' pictures and browse or search the millions of images        posted by the Flickr community.     -- Streamlined e-mail keeps consumers in sync - The E-mail widget allows        consumers to quickly respond to, delete or compose new messages or view        attachments with a single click.  Advanced search capabilities allow        consumers to locate important e-mail easily by searching in the subject        line, the message body or an attachment.  Automatic synchronization        allows consumers to access messages and contacts in their Yahoo! Mail        account in real time.  Any changes made on the phone are instantly        reflected on the PC and vice versa.      About Yahoo!&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Yahoo!

(NYSE: MOT) announced it is delivering on an existing relationship with Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) to integrate Microsoft Windows Media technologies, into Motorola's MOTOMUSIC mobile devices.  Motorola and Microsoft have been working to build new music mobile devices that bring choice to consumers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Built on Motorola's new Linux(TM)-Java(TM) software platform, the MOTOMUSIC devices give consumers an easy music sync experience with Windows Media Player on Windows XP and Vista-based PCs and access to content from a wide range of online music stores from around the world.  Now consumers can not only take their personal CD collections with them, but also can transfer music acquired from hundreds of download or subscription stores and playback on their Motorola handsets(1).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The MOTORIZR Z6 will be the first Motorola handset to include Microsoft Windows Media technologies including Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM), Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Media Transfer Protocol (MTP).  This eye-catching new slider offers simple connectivity to Windows-based PCs via the USB 2.0 high-speed protocol.  By supporting MTP, Windows Media Player will automatically recognize the MOTORIZR Z6, letting users quickly and easily sync music from the PC to the phone from over 200 music stores worldwide.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "The MOTORIZR Z6 is the world's first Linux-Java music phone integrating the full suite of Windows Media technologies," says Scott Durchslag, corporate vice-president of Product and Xperience Invention, Motorola Mobile Devices. "This will enable consumers to access whatever music content they want, from the music store they love wherever they are as simply and seamlessly as possible."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "Motorola's use of the range of Windows Media technologies provides new choices for consumers and mobile operators alike in the rapidly growing area of mobile digital music," said Amir Majidimehr, corporate vice president of the Consumer Media Technology group at Microsoft.  "Through its support of both subscription and purchased content, and easy syncing with Windows PCs, the MOTORIZR Z6 will enable millions of consumers around the world to enjoy high quality music experiences wherever they are."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    In addition to making the new MOTOMUSIC handsets interoperable with PCs, Motorola and Microsoft plan to provide MOTOMUSIC handset offerings that are tailored for discovering and acquiring music over an operator's 3G network. This rich music offering will help provide operators with handsets optimized for efficient music downloads over a 3G network.  Consumers will benefit from quick and easy access to high quality music on the go.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Pricing and Availability&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The new MOTORIZR Z6 is expected to be available in the first half of 2007. Specific details will be provided upon consumer availability.  Accredited members of the media community can learn more at http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo .

There are 12 online tutorials on&lt;br /&gt;subjects such as Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org, and&lt;br /&gt;Dreamweaver 8. The tutorials can be used by anyone, free of&lt;br /&gt;charge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;In Pictures tutorials are based on pictures, not text. They&lt;br /&gt;contain one-tenth as many words as a typical computer how-to&lt;br /&gt;book. How-to books typically contain 50,000-100,000 words of&lt;br /&gt;text, but these online tutorials contain only around five&lt;br /&gt;thousand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;The tutorials were developed as part of a U.S. Department of&lt;br /&gt;Education study, to make it easier for people with learning&lt;br /&gt;disabilities to learn computer subjects. When the study was&lt;br /&gt;completed in 2006, it showed that the illustration-based&lt;br /&gt;tutorials worked well for everyone, not just those with&lt;br /&gt;special needs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;All of the tutorials are free to use by anyone. Revenue is&lt;br /&gt;generated for In Pictures by banner advertisements on each&lt;br /&gt;page. In Pictures' founder, Chris Charuhas, says, "Our&lt;br /&gt;ad-based revenue model wouldn't have worked two years ago.&lt;br /&gt;But now, with the growth of online advertising and the&lt;br /&gt;advent of content-indexed ad systems such as Google AdSense,&lt;br /&gt;we think it's very promising."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Later this year, In Pictures will release new free tutorials&lt;br /&gt;on Microsoft Office 2007 programs, as well as Photoshop,&lt;br /&gt;Photoshop Elements, and Fireworks. There will also be new&lt;br /&gt;Web programming tutorials for non-programmers, on MySQL,&lt;br /&gt;PHP, and Perl.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;About In Pictures&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;In Pictures tutorials are published by Visibooks, LLC, based&lt;br /&gt;in Frederick, Maryland. The company provides two brands of&lt;br /&gt;illustration-based computer learning materials: In Pictures&lt;br /&gt;tutorials for individuals, and Visibooks textbooks for&lt;br /&gt;classroom use. In Pictures tutorials are available at&lt;br /&gt;http://www.inpics.net. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Media Contact: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Ellie Whims&lt;br /&gt;301.696.0318&lt;br /&gt;ewhims@robinjonesmarketing.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;                       # # #&lt;br /&gt;                       &lt;br /&gt;Distributed by eReleases - http://www.ereleases.com&lt;br /&gt;10640 Jones Road, Kingsville, Maryland 21087&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Announces SBIR Phase I Award from U.S. Army;&lt;br /&gt;Project to Develop a Wall Interrogator for Advanced&lt;br /&gt;High-Resolution Mapping of Material Topography&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 5, 2007 -- TiaLinx, Inc., a&lt;br /&gt;developer of Wafer Scale Antenna Module, today announced&lt;br /&gt;that it has been awarded a Phase I from the Army. The&lt;br /&gt;objective of this program with the Army is to address&lt;br /&gt;implementation of TiaLinx's propriety integrated Wafer Scale&lt;br /&gt;Antenna Module (WSAM(TM)) technology, focusing on real-time&lt;br /&gt;topography imaging of an object, high-resolution texture&lt;br /&gt;information and synthetic aperture radar imaging. WSAM&lt;br /&gt;modules offer low power, substantially reduced mass and&lt;br /&gt;volume. Compared to conventional phased array technology,&lt;br /&gt;the WSAM offers orders of magnitude enhancement in cost,&lt;br /&gt;weight, volume and manufacturing precision.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;"The Army's award was based on a thorough evaluation of the&lt;br /&gt;feasibility study proposed for Phase I, indicating TiaLinx's&lt;br /&gt;massively patented technological breakthrough," commented&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Fred Mohamadi, Founder and CEO of TiaLinx. "TiaLinx's&lt;br /&gt;highly integrated distributed mm-wave RF sensor technology&lt;br /&gt;is revolutionizing multi-discipline DoD projects and&lt;br /&gt;positioning TiaLinx to be a leader in addressing&lt;br /&gt;applications related to imaging of topography and depth&lt;br /&gt;analysis of objects."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;The Wall Interrogator device can benefit police, first&lt;br /&gt;responders, fire and rescue missions. The second generation&lt;br /&gt;of the devices will provide detection of buried bodies under&lt;br /&gt;earthquake debris, buried mines and IEDs. High-resolution RF&lt;br /&gt;beamforming technology of TiaLinx also addresses&lt;br /&gt;applications such as early warning radar, see-through wall,&lt;br /&gt;point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless&lt;br /&gt;connectivity, radiometry and passive-medical imaging,&lt;br /&gt;mobility aids for the visually impaired, homeland security&lt;br /&gt;and surveillance, and collision avoidance systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;About TiaLinx, Inc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;TiaLinx, Inc. is a privately held fabless company that&lt;br /&gt;develops electronic sub-modules with very small form factor,&lt;br /&gt;highly integrated functionality and advanced performance for&lt;br /&gt;a wide range of DoD, industrial and consumer products.&lt;br /&gt;Utilizing its proprietary and protected technologies, the&lt;br /&gt;Company is uniquely positioned to address robust&lt;br /&gt;point-to-point communication systems at extreme data rates&lt;br /&gt;economically by enabling revolutionary advancements in&lt;br /&gt;semiconductor and sub-system designs.

(NYSE: MOT) today announced preliminary estimates of fourth quarter 2006 financial results. Although the company has not finalized its financial results for the fourth quarter, sales are now estimated to be in the range of $11.6 to $11.8 billion, versus the guidance given on October 17, 2006, of $11.8 to $12.1 billion. Fourth-quarter GAAP earnings per share are now estimated to be in the range of $0.13 to $0.16, which is below the company's internal forecast at the start of the fourth quarter. The estimated earnings per share range includes estimated net charges, primarily non-cash, of approximately $0.10 per share relating to items that are typically highlighted in the company's earnings press releases, including investment-related losses, stock compensation expenses, business reorganization charges and unusual tax expenses. The fourth quarter will represent Motorola's 24th consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The shortfall in both sales and earnings occurred in the Mobile Devices segment and is attributed to an unfavorable geographical and product-tier mix of sales as compared to the company's internal forecast. In the fourth quarter, Mobile Devices unit sales were approximately 66 million units, up 23 percent from the third quarter of 2006 and up 48 percent from the fourth quarter of 2005.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The fourth-quarter results for both the Networks &amp; Enterprise and Connected Home segments are expected to meet or exceed the internal expectations of the company at the start of the fourth quarter.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "We are very disappointed with our fourth-quarter financial performance," said Ed Zander, chairman and CEO, "but we remain committed to the strategic direction and long-term financial targets we discussed at our annual analysts meeting in July 2006. We will discuss plans to improve operating profitability on January 19 when we announce fourth-quarter earnings."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Motorola's fourth-quarter results are scheduled to be announced at approximately 6:30 a.m., Eastern Time (USA) on Friday, January 19. Motorola will host its quarterly conference call from 7:30 - 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time (USA) on Friday, January 19. The conference call will be web-cast live with audio and slides at www.motorola.com/investor. In addition, Motorola will hold an analysts meeting from 10 a.m. - noon, Eastern Time (USA) on Friday, January 19. Motorola's senior management will provide updates on its business strategy and outlook for 2007. This meeting will be web-cast live with audio and slides at: www.motorola.com/investor.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Business Risks&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    This press release contains "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, Motorola's estimated: (1) range for sales in the fourth quarter of 2006, (2) range for GAAP earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2006, (3) charges relating to highlighted items in the fourth quarter of 2006, and (4) results for the Company's operating segments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Each of these estimates are based on very preliminary information about the fourth quarter of 2006. Although the quarter is now completed, the Company is still in the early stages of its standard financial reporting closing procedures. Accordingly, as the Company completes its normal quarter and year-end closing and auditing processes, actual results could differ from these preliminary estimates.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    In general, the Company's financial and operating results are impacted by the risk factors below, as well as those on pages 19 through 27 in Item 1A of Motorola's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in its other SEC filings, which could cause Motorola's actual results to differ materially from those estimated or predicted in the forward-looking statements. Motorola undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement or risk factor, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Factors that may impact forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (1) the company's ability to increase profitability and market share in its wireless handset business; (2) the level of demand for the company's products, including products related to new technologies; (3) the company's ability to introduce new products and technologies in a timely manner; (4) the company's ability to continue generating meaningful savings from supply-chain improvements, manufacturing consolidation and other cost-reduction initiatives; (5) the uncertainty of current economic and political conditions, as well as the economic outlook for the telecommunications and broadband industries; (6) the company's ability to purchase sufficient materials, parts and components to meet customer demand; (7) unexpected negative consequences from the realignment of the company's Networks and Enterprise business; (8) risks related to dependence on certain key suppliers; (9) the impact on the company's performance and financial results from strategic acquisitions or divestitures, including those that may occur in the future; (10) risks related to the company's high volume of manufacturing and sales in Asia; (11) the creditworthiness of the company's customers, particularly purchasers of large infrastructure systems; (12) variability in income generated from licensing the company's intellectual property; (13) unexpected liabilities or expenses, including unfavorable outcomes to any pending or future litigation, including without limitation any relating to the Iridium project; (14) the timing and levels at which design wins become actual orders and sales; (15) the impact of foreign currency fluctuations; (16) the impact on the company from continuing hostilities in Iraq and conflict in other countries; (17) the impact on the company from ongoing consolidation in the telecommunications and broadband industries; (18) the impact of changes in governmental policies, laws or regulations; (19) the outcome of currently ongoing and future tax matters; and (20) unforeseen negative consequences from the company's outsourcing of various activities, including certain manufacturing, information technology and administrative functions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    About Motorola&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Motorola is known around the world for innovation and leadership in wireless and broadband communications.

While most Web hosting companies offer&lt;br /&gt;only up to 100 gigabytes of hosting space, Globat.com's new&lt;br /&gt;TeraByte Xtreme(TM) and TeraByte XS(TM) packages come with&lt;br /&gt;1,000 and 5,000 gigabytes of hosting space, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;To meet the demand for traffic-heavy sites, especially video&lt;br /&gt;and media-driven Web sites, both packages also include an&lt;br /&gt;unprecedented amount of monthly bandwidth for data&lt;br /&gt;transfers, with the TeraByte Xtreme offering 1 full terabyte&lt;br /&gt;of bandwidth (1,000 GB) and the TeraByte XS allowing for 2&lt;br /&gt;terabytes (2,000 GB) of monthly bandwidth. These packages,&lt;br /&gt;which replace Globat.com's previous Web hosting offerings,&lt;br /&gt;not only solidifies the company's status as the industry's&lt;br /&gt;value leader, it also signifies the first time ever that a&lt;br /&gt;Web hosting company has offered such an enormous amount of&lt;br /&gt;hosting space and bandwidth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;"The Web hosting industry is changing, and we see more and&lt;br /&gt;more people wanting to host video and media on their Web&lt;br /&gt;sites," said Ben R. Neumann, President and CEO of&lt;br /&gt;Globat.com. "Media files, especially videos, are quite large&lt;br /&gt;- they can take up a lot of disk space very quickly. Also,&lt;br /&gt;showing them on a Web site requires a great amount of&lt;br /&gt;bandwidth. At Globat.com, we're always aware of the changing&lt;br /&gt;needs of our customers, and of course, we're one step ahead&lt;br /&gt;to make sure their needs are met."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;In addition to the enormous allotment of hosting space and&lt;br /&gt;bandwidth, each Web hosting package comes with support for&lt;br /&gt;QuickTime(TM), RealVideo(TM), and RealAudio(TM) streaming&lt;br /&gt;along with easy self-publishing of almost any other video&lt;br /&gt;format. Another value-added perk for customers of these new&lt;br /&gt;packages is the ability to host multiple domains on just one&lt;br /&gt;account, thereby taking full advantage of their hefty Web&lt;br /&gt;hosting packages. Despite these tremendous increases, the&lt;br /&gt;TeraByte Xtreme remains one of the most affordable Web&lt;br /&gt;hosting packages available at only $6.95/month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;About Globat, LLC&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Founded in 2001, Globat, LLC (http://www.globat.com) is one&lt;br /&gt;of the most established Web hosting companies in the United&lt;br /&gt;States, offering affordable, quality Web hosting solutions&lt;br /&gt;to nearly 100,000 customers worldwide.

Ilient's&lt;br /&gt;marketing is entirely web-based, which allows a wide extent&lt;br /&gt;of potential users to learn about SysAid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;The free version of SysAid is helpful to any small- to&lt;br /&gt;medium-size organization that provides IT services.

The&lt;br /&gt;suite of IT management tools includes helpdesk management,&lt;br /&gt;inventory management, remote control, reports and analysis,&lt;br /&gt;tasks and projects planning, and many other features.&lt;br /&gt;Downloading is a simple procedure that does not require&lt;br /&gt;signing any form.

Our idea is&lt;br /&gt;that by using the free version, not only large and&lt;br /&gt;well-established companies, but also small to medium&lt;br /&gt;organizations can enjoy the benefits of a professional IT&lt;br /&gt;management tool. Our experience shows that these&lt;br /&gt;organizations will develop and grow, and then they will want&lt;br /&gt;to upgrade to the SysAid full version, which has extra&lt;br /&gt;advantages."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;One of the free version users testifies, "llient's SysAid&lt;br /&gt;has radically improved our ability to provide consistent&lt;br /&gt;support to our workers. It is simple to use and to install,&lt;br /&gt;and is a great tool for any business that has an internal IT&lt;br /&gt;support.

The released .travel domain names include&lt;br /&gt;cities; towns; heritage, iconic and sacred sites; national&lt;br /&gt;parks and other landmarks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;"Until now, the registration of millions of .travel domain&lt;br /&gt;names representing tourist destinations were restricted to&lt;br /&gt;governments and tourism boards", says Tom Barrett, President&lt;br /&gt;of EnCirca.

But governments will need to&lt;br /&gt;hurry since these names are now available on a first-come,&lt;br /&gt;first-served basis.  Registration of country-specific names&lt;br /&gt;in .travel remains the exclusive right of the national&lt;br /&gt;governments to claim and use for tourism-related activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Eligibility for .travel Domain Names&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Eligibility for these released travel place names are&lt;br /&gt;restricted to bona fide travel and tourism organizations who&lt;br /&gt;can demonstrate actual use of the desired .travel domain&lt;br /&gt;names.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Travel and tourism organizations are advised to quickly&lt;br /&gt;become authenticated and register using EnCirca's real-time&lt;br /&gt;registration interface at http://www.encirca.com/travel .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Iconic Place Names Reservation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;About 10 percent of the newly released 3 million .travel&lt;br /&gt;domain names have been identified as "Iconic Place Names"&lt;br /&gt;and will be subject to a conditional release process,&lt;br /&gt;pending a 30-day public comment period being conducted by&lt;br /&gt;The Travel Partnership Corporation (TTPC.org), the advisory&lt;br /&gt;council for the .travel domain&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Upon receiving an application by a commercial entity to&lt;br /&gt;register an Iconic Place Name, Tralliance will inform the&lt;br /&gt;government whose Place Name is being requested and provide&lt;br /&gt;such government the first right to register such name within&lt;br /&gt;thirty (30) days.  If the governmental administration for&lt;br /&gt;such Place Name declines or does not take action to register&lt;br /&gt;the name within such thirty (30) day period, then Tralliance&lt;br /&gt;shall allow the commercial entity (applicant) to register&lt;br /&gt;the name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Premium Names Auction&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Certain generic .travel domain names, such as fun.travel,&lt;br /&gt;convention.travel, and cruises.travel have been reserved by&lt;br /&gt;Tralliance and may be sold at a premium price through an&lt;br /&gt;auction methodology. Prior to the sale of any premium name,&lt;br /&gt;Tralliance will obtain TTPC's approval of the names to be&lt;br /&gt;sold.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;About EnCirca&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;As the world's leading .travel Registrar, thousands of&lt;br /&gt;government, non-profit tourism boards and commercial&lt;br /&gt;organizations already trust EnCirca as their official travel&lt;br /&gt;Registrar.

DomoDomain&lt;br /&gt;provides an innovative solution that enables B2B companies&lt;br /&gt;to not only see which businesses are visiting their website,&lt;br /&gt;but also provides an in depth analysis of the prospect,&lt;br /&gt;intelligently profiling their interests, and providing&lt;br /&gt;insight for effective follow-up. Only two months after&lt;br /&gt;launching the service, the first wave of DomoDomain&lt;br /&gt;customers spans the globe and to date, DomoDomain has&lt;br /&gt;identified and profiled over 100,000 prospects on their&lt;br /&gt;behalf.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Maurizio Attisani, Co-founder of DomoDomain, stated, "We are&lt;br /&gt;very encouraged by the enthusiastic global response we have&lt;br /&gt;had to our service at such an early stage of our company. We&lt;br /&gt;plan to continue the positive momentum and capitalize on the&lt;br /&gt;traction gained so far by adding a number of product&lt;br /&gt;enhancements in the coming months, followed by an aggressive&lt;br /&gt;marketing push. This will enable us to maintain our&lt;br /&gt;pioneering role in this new market and to realize our goal&lt;br /&gt;of becoming the de facto service for converting previously&lt;br /&gt;anonymous web visitors into qualified, actionable leads."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;New features and enhancements planned for the coming months&lt;br /&gt;will include much more detailed background information on&lt;br /&gt;web leads reported by DomoDomain, improved profiling&lt;br /&gt;capabilities to determine what exactly the prospects are&lt;br /&gt;interested in, and full contact information for key&lt;br /&gt;personnel within the prospect's organization for more&lt;br /&gt;effective follow up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;DomoDomain also today announced the forging of a much closer&lt;br /&gt;relationship with salesforce.com.

(NYSE: MOT) in Tokyo today to formally kick off sales of Motorola's trend-setting MOTORAZR (M702iS) handset with DoCoMo in Japan. Sporting the hot new device, the football icon popped up at ersatz appearances around Tokyo, with Japan's most stylish mobile device, MOTORAZR.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;pre&gt;     Appearing with leading Japanese sportscaster Tomoaki Ogura on Best Moments in Sports 2006, Fuji-TV's highly rated year end sports program, Beckham showed the MOTORAZR in each of its three colors. In an exclusive announcement, the soccer icon also unveiled a one-of-a-kind customized "MOTORAZR tattoo keitei by David Beckham" that will be auctioned online (http://sa.item.rakuten.co.jp/rakuoku/a/061229_moto_a/ or via MOTORAZR or other mobile phones at http://sa.item.m.rakuten.co.jp/rakuoku/a/061229_moto_a/) to raise money for UNICEF, in honor of Beckham's role as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. &lt;/pre&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Beckham then hosted a MOTORAZR fashion show at the popular Roppongi Hills Arena, cutting through the backdrop with his MOTORAZR, introducing the device to the several thousand people assembled at the event with the help of J-Wave personality Sean K, and demonstrating why the MOTORAZR is the "must-have" DoCoMo handset. The program, which began with traditional Taiko drums, continued with Beckham treating the crowd to a free-kick demonstration onstage and climaxed with Beckham drawing the name of a random MOTORAZR owner in the crowd, calling the winner on her MOTORAZR, and bringing her onstage for a photo and gifts. Beckham concluded the event by kicking specially-branded black and silver MOTORAZR balls into a mosh-pit at center-stage filled with MOTORAZR owners.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    MOTORAZR, available in Japan for only two weeks, is already the hottest selling mobile device in Japan, with the Hot pink, Neo black, and Cool silver handsets all topping the sales of DoCoMo's popular 7 series. Beckham finished the day with a spontaneous stop at a Motorola "touch-and-try" event in Shibuya, one of the world's busiest and hippest shopping areas to thank all of the people who had already made MOTORAZR the mobile device champion in Japan.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "One of the great things about my job is that I get to travel all around the world, and wherever I go, you can be sure of one thing -- the people who are really stylish carry a MOTORAZR," Beckham told the crowd. "The Japanese people are some of the most stylish in the world, and you've proven it by making MOTORAZR the number-one seller."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Catch MOTORAZR (if you can) in Hot pink, Neo black, and Cool silver at DoCoMo stores and authorized retailers nationwide.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    About Motorola&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Motorola is known around the world for innovation and leadership in wireless and broadband communications.

For a limited&lt;br /&gt;time, ServerPronto is offering free server set-up to all new&lt;br /&gt;customers to make it even easier for website owners to&lt;br /&gt;experience the firm's world-class service and support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;ServerPronto's starter package is only $29.95 a month with&lt;br /&gt;256MB DDR RAM, 40GB hard drive space, 200GB transfer, and&lt;br /&gt;100Mbps connection. At the top end, Xtreme Power offers 2GB&lt;br /&gt;DDR RAM, Dual 120 GB of hard disk drive space, 1400GB of&lt;br /&gt;transfer, and 100Mbps connection. ServerPronto offers&lt;br /&gt;attractive options for any small- to mid-sized business with&lt;br /&gt;no long-term contracts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;"People are always asking, 'What's the catch?'" said Octavio&lt;br /&gt;Diaz, Vice President of Operations for ServerPronto. "There&lt;br /&gt;is no catch. We understand that people are reluctant to&lt;br /&gt;change server providers. We also understand that some&lt;br /&gt;consumers don't yet fully understand the benefits of&lt;br /&gt;low-cost dedicated servers. We're lowering the barrier of&lt;br /&gt;entry so that more can discover the benefits for&lt;br /&gt;themselves."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Unlike shared hosting, where multiple sites are hosted on a&lt;br /&gt;single server, dedicated hosting allows companies to rent&lt;br /&gt;the entire server. Better still, ServerPronto's discount&lt;br /&gt;dedicated servers rent entire servers at unbeatable prices.&lt;br /&gt;That's one reason why ServerPronto's client roster spans&lt;br /&gt;vertical markets in 50 countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Beginning today, ServerPronto is offering free server set-up&lt;br /&gt;when customers pre-pay for three months. Just log onto&lt;br /&gt;ServerPronto.com and choose the high-speed, discounted&lt;br /&gt;dedicated server solution that's right for your business.&lt;br /&gt;ServerPronto makes it simple to compare each of its plans&lt;br /&gt;with an easy-to-read chart that takes you through all the&lt;br /&gt;options, from the affordable Starter Plan for data backup&lt;br /&gt;and website hosting to the 64-bit Pro Power and Xtreme Power&lt;br /&gt;plans fit to handle high-speed demands of mission-critical&lt;br /&gt;hosting and gaming.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Here's the fun part: server customization. Customers can&lt;br /&gt;select the hard drive and RAM configuration, operating&lt;br /&gt;system, control panel, firewall, monitoring, FTP backup&lt;br /&gt;space, additional IP addresses, port and bandwidth that&lt;br /&gt;meets their individual needs. Finally, customers just enter&lt;br /&gt;in their billing information on ServerPronto's secure&lt;br /&gt;platform. While set-up charges for some customized hardware&lt;br /&gt;and software options may apply, when customers pre-pay for&lt;br /&gt;three months of service ServerPronto will waive the standard&lt;br /&gt;set-up charges, which range from $69 to $299. That means&lt;br /&gt;customers could save hundreds of dollars on server set-up&lt;br /&gt;fees.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Visit http://www.serverpronto.com for more information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;About ServerPronto &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;ServerPronto is a dedicated hosting subsidiary of Infolink,&lt;br /&gt;which built a profitable Data Center Corporation by serving&lt;br /&gt;the "value-oriented" segment of the Internet market with a&lt;br /&gt;top-quality, feature-rich product at an incredible price.&lt;br /&gt;Following in those footsteps, ServerPronto is breaking the&lt;br /&gt;price barrier for dedicated hosting in secured and&lt;br /&gt;reinforced Data Centers with redundant power, lighting-fast&lt;br /&gt;fiber connections, and 24X7X365 support from a staff with&lt;br /&gt;more than 10 years experience building and maintaining&lt;br /&gt;servers and computer networks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Contact:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Peter Taylor, Public Relations&lt;br /&gt;ServerPronto&lt;br /&gt;877-24-PRONTO&lt;br /&gt;http://www.serverpronto.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;                       # # #&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Distributed by eReleases - http://www.ereleases.com&lt;br /&gt;10640 Jones Road, Kingsville, Maryland 21087&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

(NYSE: MOT), a global leader in wireless communications, today announced that MOTORAZR (M702iS) with iMode(R) is flying off the shelves in stores all around Japan a week after the device began reaching retailers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    MOTORAZR, which unites the power of DoCoMo's powerful FOMA(R) 3G network and its wildly successful iMode bouquet of services and content with the iconic MOTORAZR design, began selling in Japan on December 14. Motorola and DoCoMo spent many months preparing to bring the top selling MOTORAZR to Japan, ensuring that the device would deliver a superior iMode experience.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "We knew people were waiting for MOTORAZR, and we knew the Christmas season would be big. This proves it will be as big a hit in Japan as it is everywhere else," said Motorola's Michael Tatelman, corporate vice-president and general manager, Mobile Devices Business, North Asia. "This is the best possible endorsement of the strategy DoCoMo and Motorola have pursued in creating a device that is powerful yet elegant and sophisticated, and is a clear demonstration of how much people in Japan want a device like this."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    MOTORAZR is the thinnest(1) FOMA handset ever, measuring a mere 14.9mm. The outer shell is made from anodised aluminium; the keypad is a thin, laser- etched metal sheet, and MOTORAZR's employment of innovative materials ensures that the phone has the look and feel of a premium mobile device.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    MOTORAZR is the first DoCoMo handset in the M70x series to combine Bluetooth(R) capability, DoCoMo's "World Wing(R)" 3G global roaming, and the full suite of iMode content and services, and marks the first time MOTORAZR - which has sold over 50 million units worldwide - has been made available in Japan.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Catch MOTORAZR (if you can) in Hot pink, Neo black, and Cool silver at DoCoMo stores and authorized retailers nationwide.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    About Motorola&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Motorola is known around the world for innovation and leadership in wireless and broadband communications.

(NYSE: MOT), the global leader in mobile phone fashion, launch the record-setting MOTORAZR handset with DoCoMo in Japan. In an evening overflowing with entertainment, fun, and more than a few surprises, Motorola's guests partied the night away in a massive transparent pink tent, perched in the heart of Tokyo with a backdrop of historic Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple, designed to capture the essence of MOTORAZR in its now-trademark Hot Pink color. &lt;p&gt;As the festivities began, guests sipped pink MOTORAZR cocktails created especially for the occasion, while enjoying buskers, stilt walkers, and other interactive artists that set the whimsical tone for the evening. Partygoers were then treated to a dance performance that preceded "Kagamiwari" (the traditional breaking of ceremonial sake barrels, speeches and toasts offered by Motorola and DoCoMo executives. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As MOTORAZR, available for barely a week in Japan, flew off the shelves in DoCoMo and retail stores around the country, celebrants enjoyed a procession of specially created savories from the award-winning chef, Stephane Foucher. The piece de resistance among the delicacies were thin strips of fresh pink sashimi sliced from a whole six-foot-long tuna at a specially designed ice table, with Paris Hilton joining Motorola executives to take the ceremonial first slice. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The highlight of the evening's entertainment was an exclusive recital by the accomplished British soprano and stage chanteuse Joanne Pullen, principal soprano in over a dozen London musicals. The evening was rounded out with a modern edge delivered by renowned mixmaster DJ Kulu. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"More than anything else, MOTORAZR is about memorable experiences all delivered with style, elegance, and a deep sense of fun," said Michael Tatelman, Motorola corporate vice president and general manager, North Asia. "Tonight is a taste of what we mean by that, and of what it is like to own and enjoy MOTORAZR in Japan." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;About Motorola &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Motorola is known around the world for innovation and leadership in wireless and broadband communications.

What follows is a&lt;br /&gt;transcript of that interview.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;What does it take to be great? Are people born with&lt;br /&gt;specialized natural gifts that lead them to mega-success?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Unfortunately, the answer to the second question is no.&lt;br /&gt;People are not born with these natural gifts. It is proven&lt;br /&gt;that success is due to a relentless amount of hard work and&lt;br /&gt;practice. Studies show that to be great at any one thing&lt;br /&gt;requires the equivalent of a minimum of 10 years of practice&lt;br /&gt;in that field. Take Tiger Woods, for example. He was&lt;br /&gt;practicing his golf swing at the tender age of three. He&lt;br /&gt;even re-invented his swing twice because that's what it took&lt;br /&gt;to win. By the same token Warren Buffett was not born an&lt;br /&gt;investor. Gary Kasparov did not know how to play chess when&lt;br /&gt;he was six months old. All, however, practiced what they&lt;br /&gt;loved year after year and eventually became superstars in&lt;br /&gt;their respective fields.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Now the first question "What does it take to be great?" is a&lt;br /&gt;bit more complicated. To help answer that question business&lt;br /&gt;magnate and entrepreneur Mouli Cohen was consulted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;The interview took place on a private island just north of&lt;br /&gt;San Francisco, which houses some of the most exclusive&lt;br /&gt;estates in the world. The views of the Golden Gate&lt;br /&gt;reflecting onto the Pacific Ocean are breath-taking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Q: Mouli, you've talked a lot about achieving greatness in&lt;br /&gt;business as well as other pursuits. Are there certain&lt;br /&gt;characteristics that tend to lead to greatness? Are there&lt;br /&gt;any secrets you've discovered over the years for achieving&lt;br /&gt;that special mega-level of success?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Mouli: Unfortunately there is no secret formula for being&lt;br /&gt;great. It doesn't even come down to talent. Achieving mega&lt;br /&gt;success and greatness come as a result of years of hard&lt;br /&gt;work. Look at all the superstars in sports. Larry Bird,&lt;br /&gt;Magic Johnson, and Lance Armstrong are all sports legends.&lt;br /&gt;Their success came as a result of being talented and through&lt;br /&gt;years of relentless practice and hard work. That being said,&lt;br /&gt;I do believe there are things a leader does to encourage&lt;br /&gt;greatness in people. A leader works hard to ensure his&lt;br /&gt;people do not become ensnarled in unnecessary company&lt;br /&gt;bureaucracy and politics. He rewards those who are&lt;br /&gt;courageous, embrace change and take necessary risks. I've&lt;br /&gt;always said that a primary goal for a CEO and business&lt;br /&gt;leader is to assemble the best talent and give them the&lt;br /&gt;support they need to get the job done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Q: Have a lot of people in your organizations gone on to&lt;br /&gt;achieve greatness?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Mouli: Yes, a few have but you cannot expect everyone&lt;br /&gt;working for you to be a super star. You give them the tools&lt;br /&gt;and support to be great and every year they improve. This&lt;br /&gt;makes your business successful and at the end of the day&lt;br /&gt;that's a good thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Q: What types of people in today's society would you say&lt;br /&gt;have achieved greatness? You also said a few did go on to be&lt;br /&gt;super stars in your own organizations. Can you talk a little&lt;br /&gt;about those individuals and what factors contributed to them&lt;br /&gt;reaching that level of success?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Mouli: There are many interesting examples that come to&lt;br /&gt;mind. Many of these individuals in their early careers&lt;br /&gt;seemed unlikely ever to achieve mega-success. Take Jerry&lt;br /&gt;Rice for example. 15 teams passed him up because everyone&lt;br /&gt;thought he was too slow. But he practiced harder than anyone&lt;br /&gt;else and in the end he was a winner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;I also have many PhD scientists in my biochemical and drug&lt;br /&gt;development companies that have proven themselves to be very&lt;br /&gt;non-linear and creative thinkers. These individuals have&lt;br /&gt;made amazing progress and even discoveries due to their&lt;br /&gt;unique approach and philosophy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Mike Moritz of Sequoia Capital is another example of a&lt;br /&gt;businessman who changed careers mid-way and yet managed to&lt;br /&gt;rise to success. He was a rising star at Time Magazine and&lt;br /&gt;suddenly resigned and got into the venture capital business.&lt;br /&gt;He's made billions for his clients by having the knack to&lt;br /&gt;pick blockbusters. In fact, he picked a winner for my friend&lt;br /&gt;Serge Brin of Google.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Non-linear, creative thinking is definitely a success&lt;br /&gt;enabler. Take Yra Harris of Praxis Trading. Here's a guy who&lt;br /&gt;focuses first on how much money he stands to lose in a given&lt;br /&gt;investment. His number one rule is using stop-losses. He&lt;br /&gt;pulls his money down when a security reaches predetermined&lt;br /&gt;downside prices. That type of creative thinking is&lt;br /&gt;definitely an advantage for people on the road to super&lt;br /&gt;success. It still does not eliminate the need for&lt;br /&gt;super-persistence and practice but I think it's a&lt;br /&gt;differentiator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Q: That's very interesting. What about all the people in&lt;br /&gt;your company who may perform their duties but never achieve&lt;br /&gt;greatness? Are these people just not cut out for being&lt;br /&gt;great? Are they missing certain abilities?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Mouli: That's a really good question and something I think&lt;br /&gt;about a lot. The key is to give these people the&lt;br /&gt;fundamentals they need to do good work. And then to inspire&lt;br /&gt;them whenever possible. However, there's no magic formula&lt;br /&gt;for instilling in them the drive to be mega successful.&lt;br /&gt;Doing good work is hard enough and only a few have what it&lt;br /&gt;takes to go the extra steps. These steps can be very painful&lt;br /&gt;which might help explain why only a minority achieves&lt;br /&gt;greatness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Q: Many people compare businesses to sports teams. Do you&lt;br /&gt;agree with this analogy?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Mouli: Absolutely. The team dynamic in sports is very&lt;br /&gt;similar to running a business. You need a winning team and&lt;br /&gt;as a business leader or sports captain you must earn the&lt;br /&gt;respect of those working with you. To be great you need to&lt;br /&gt;inspire everyone on the team to also be great. Leadership is&lt;br /&gt;always earned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Q: Mouli, how have you personally pushed yourself over the&lt;br /&gt;years to be great? What is it in you that drives this force,&lt;br /&gt;something you have referred to as being very difficult and&lt;br /&gt;even painful?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Mouli: You are giving me a little too much credit. It's&lt;br /&gt;challenging to give you a direct answer, as I'm not sure&lt;br /&gt;there is one specific reason. I would say that I have inside&lt;br /&gt;of me a restlessness that is never satiated.  But where that&lt;br /&gt;restlessness comes from I do not know. My father always told&lt;br /&gt;me that if I do something I should do it great. This could&lt;br /&gt;be part of the reason. I think it's different for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;Success is a very personal goal. Maybe this idea of&lt;br /&gt;restlessness is part of the secret sauce for becoming&lt;br /&gt;successful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Q: Mouli, you always talk about how important it is for a&lt;br /&gt;leader to know and understand his weaknesses and strengths.&lt;br /&gt;How does a leader use this insight to inspire confidence and&lt;br /&gt;loyalty from his employees?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Mouli: A good leader should possess a very clear-eyed view&lt;br /&gt;of the marketplace and the competition. He should know what&lt;br /&gt;the company is good at and where it should be focusing its&lt;br /&gt;strengths. He must also know and understand its weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;This is a very big-ticket item in my opinion. It's also&lt;br /&gt;about good leadership attributes - a leader expects a lot&lt;br /&gt;and encourages his people to take the values most important&lt;br /&gt;to them at home and bring them to work. No one is born&lt;br /&gt;successful. We all have the opportunity-through hard work&lt;br /&gt;and focus and unrelenting super-persistence to achieve&lt;br /&gt;mega-success. It's within all of us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;About Mouli Cohen&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;In his career as an entrepreneur, Mouli has been one of the&lt;br /&gt;few to have success in biotechnology and high technology.&lt;br /&gt;His start-ups have generated well over $1B in shareholder&lt;br /&gt;value. In recognition of his ability to generate mega&lt;br /&gt;investment in the U.S. economy and the creation of thousands&lt;br /&gt;of U.S. jobs, Mouli was awarded the first-ever "Millionaire&lt;br /&gt;Residency" with full citizenship status by President George&lt;br /&gt;H. Bush.

(NYSE: MOT) and MTC Touch, in collaboration with the Lebanese Ministry of Telecommunications, announced today the upgrading of the MIC2 network, operated by MTC, to offer new services to its growing customer base.  The announcement came during a press conference held at the Movenpick Hotel in Beirut under the auspices of His Excellency Mr. Marwan Hamadeh, Minister of Telecommunications of Lebanon.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Commenting on the announcement, Roula Abou Daher, chief technical officer, MTC Touch, said: "We have already launched prepaid SMS roaming services for Lebanon-based customers while they are visiting Saudi Arabia, and we're about to make the service available in other countries in the very near future."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    MTC Touch will provide its customers with a service package to access their SMS, MMS, and data services via their mobile phones with a Motorola Global Applications Management Architecture (GAMA) solution which seamlessly integrates end-user data applications and MTC Touch billing and messaging platforms.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Abu Daher continued, "I would like to thank the Ministry of Telecommunications for its collaboration and its recognition of the urgent need to upgrade the network, thus providing us with the relevant investment to realize this enhancement.  I would also like to confirm that the development plans related to this expansion have been carried out as per our original timetable."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "MTC Touch will be able to better serve its existing customers through the deployment of the Motorola solution and services.  This will also enable us to attract new users who may want to send and receive messages, images and video, and access email and the Internet while abroad.  In addition, visitors to Lebanon will now be able to use wireless and mobile email solutions, web browsing or other data services they have subscribed to in their home country and thereby to stay connected when roaming on the MTC Touch network," she added.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "Deployment of services that customers really want -- such as MTC Touch's new roaming SMS, MMS, email and Web connectivity for pre-paid and post-paid subscribers -- is one of the key ways that operators including the MTC Group enhance end-user experiences in the increasingly competitive Middle East telecoms sector.  The Motorola GAMA solution highlights our ability to enable the region's operators to satisfy customers and meet their business objectives," said Ali Amer, senior director of sales for Motorola Networks &amp; Enterprise in the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    A portion of the revenue on this contract was recognized by Motorola in the third quarter of 2006.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    About MTC&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    MTC is the pioneer of mobile telecommunications in the Middle East and now a major player on the African continent.

The USCG now uses the Motorola PTP 400 Series to provide secure, reliable connections for Project Hawkeye in the Port of Miami, one of the country's busiest seaports.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The USCG's Project Hawkeye sensors and long-range cameras with infrared capabilities act as eyes on the coast to prevent threats by sea in support of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.  The USCG deployed the Motorola Point-to-Point Wireless Ethernet 400 Series Bridges over 23 miles of the south Florida coastline to interconnect Hawkeye's entire network of sensors, cameras, RADAR and vessel identification equipment to the USCG central command center as well as to other ancillary port watch locations.  General Dynamics is the Motorola Point-to-Point reseller responsible for the installation and maintenance of the USCG Project Hawkeye deployment at the Port of Miami.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The Motorola-enabled wireless network provides dependable real-time data access for the USCG, including links over water, helping to maintain security for the Port of Miami.  Due to the success in Miami, the USCG will standardize on Motorola MOTOwi4 solutions.  There are now plans to implement wireless networks at five other Project Hawkeye locations throughout the U.S.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "We needed a solution that could provide us with high bandwidth without compromising reliability," said Lt. Rhett Rothberg of the USCG.  "For Hawkeye to be successful, our system must maintain Maritime Domain Awareness at all times using real-time data.  Because of the performance and security that Motorola's PTP 400 gives us, we can keep a sharper, more watchful eye over the Port of Miami, even in highly congested paths," added Lt. Rothberg.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "The Port of Miami has unusually high levels of interference," said Phil Bolt, general manager of Motorola's Point-to-Point Wireless Solutions Group at Motorola's Networks &amp; Enterprise.  "The inherent spatial diversity, ability to manage in high interference environments and overall spectrum management of the Motorola PTP 400 Series sets us apart.  Motorola is committed to helping maintain homeland security by offering the high-performance, fixed wireless solutions required to solve these complex issues."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Motorola's Point-to-Point wireless group delivers secure, reliable connections in some of the nation's most challenging environments and helps to build enhanced wireless broadband networks that are both cost-effective and scalable.  Motorola PTP Ethernet bridges are part of Motorola's MOTOwi4 portfolio of innovative wireless broadband solutions and services that create, complement and complete IP networks.  Delivering IP coverage to virtually all spaces, the MOTOwi4 portfolio includes Fixed, Mesh, Broadband over Powerline, and WiMAX solutions for private and public networks.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    For more information on Motorola's wi4 Fixed PTP wireless solutions, please visit: http://www.motorola.com/ptp .&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    About Motorola&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Motorola is known around the world for innovation and leadership in wireless and broadband communications.

Work, in today's world, can&lt;br /&gt;take on many different forms," Kim said. "This site is my&lt;br /&gt;response to the most common forms of work. I know there are&lt;br /&gt;others who sympathize with my response, and I believe that&lt;br /&gt;companies will support me now with the prospect of legions&lt;br /&gt;of fellow bums slumming at my site. People will come to&lt;br /&gt;TheOnlineBum.com to check out the richest beggar and become&lt;br /&gt;online bums, and they will linger there, clicking through to&lt;br /&gt;sponsors' websites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;"There's really no catch," Kim continued. "Sponsors give in&lt;br /&gt;to my begging and donate an item - and in return receive&lt;br /&gt;visibility and visits from TheOnlineBum.com visitors.&lt;br /&gt;Visitors keep enjoying the site and contributing to traffic&lt;br /&gt;because nothing hard is expected of them; they simply need&lt;br /&gt;to excel at being bums."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;TheOnlineBum.com currently lists donations that Kim has&lt;br /&gt;begged from sponsors - or advertisers - in exchange for Kim&lt;br /&gt;linking their sites to donations and driving online traffic&lt;br /&gt;to them. Each donation should be worth at least $100, and&lt;br /&gt;Kim won't stop until he lands 1,000 sponsors and can declare&lt;br /&gt;himself the world's richest online beggar. A counter in the&lt;br /&gt;upper right-hand corner of the site keeps a tally of Kim's&lt;br /&gt;begging exploits so visitors may check back to see how close&lt;br /&gt;Kim is to his goal of ultimate beggardom. As Kim gets closer&lt;br /&gt;and closer to becoming the richest online beggar, the&lt;br /&gt;traffic on TheOnlineBum.com increases, which should make&lt;br /&gt;site sponsors happy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;"Sponsors will see that the more unusual or opulent their&lt;br /&gt;donation, the more traffic is generated. They will also feel&lt;br /&gt;the sense of mystery building. Reaching the 1,000-donation&lt;br /&gt;mark is an important milestone, but much more will be in&lt;br /&gt;store for sponsors and visitors at TheOnlineBum.com,"&lt;br /&gt;commented Kim.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;This is not to say that TheOnlineBum.com will ever abandon&lt;br /&gt;its humble origins, Kim assured. Even after he becomes&lt;br /&gt;beggar royalty, Kim will maintain TheOnlineBum.com, where&lt;br /&gt;the original sponsors will continue to generate traffic,&lt;br /&gt;continuously serving as testament to the power of the&lt;br /&gt;Internet and a lone beggar's idea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Kim is well on his way to creating the world's first-ever&lt;br /&gt;online community of beggars. He said fellow bums are welcome&lt;br /&gt;to register on his site and join him in being an online bum&lt;br /&gt;and apply to win - or bum - products from advertisers for&lt;br /&gt;free. Advertisers will randomly award products to applicants&lt;br /&gt;or online bums in exchange, again, for Kim linking their&lt;br /&gt;sites to products and driving online traffic to them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;For more information on TheOnlineBum.com, call 310-719-5998&lt;br /&gt;or visit http://www.theonlinebum.com/ .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Contact:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Anthony Kim&lt;br /&gt;310-719-5998&lt;br /&gt;theonlinebum@yahoo.com&lt;br /&gt;http://www.theonlinebum.com/&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;                       # # #&lt;br /&gt;                      &lt;br /&gt;Distributed by eReleases - http://www.ereleases.com&lt;br /&gt;10640 Jones Road, Kingsville, Maryland 21087&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

This will allow us to bring an even more competitive offer to our customers and we are confident that this will help to further strengthen our leading position in WCDMA." &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;Ericsson Mobile Platforms is the leading platform suppliers in the world.

In a recent international survey conducted by Nokia, there is a distinct relationship between people and the music they hear.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;The survey results, which formed the foundation for Nokia's "Music Gets You Talking" advertising campaign, also underscores the theme of the biggest New Year party of 2006 - Nokia New Year's Eve. Uniting people around the world with events in five cities and a vast TV and internet audience expected to be 150 million, Nokia New Year's Eve will bring people together through music at one of the happiest times of the year.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;"Throughout history, it has been believed that music evokes emotions, feelings and memories," said Jo Harlow, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "This survey, conducted in seven countries around the world, proved that to be true - and people today want to share those feelings with others."&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;The survey showed that globally, people were most likely to call a friend if they heard a song that brought back memories. Forty-five percent of respondents in India were most likely to, compared with about one-quarter of the respondents in France. More than 30 percent of respondents globally indicated they would call their partner. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;Would you call an "ex" when a song stirs up memories?  Globally, 10.7 percent of respondents indicated their former partners would be on their call list.  In six of the seven countries surveyed, more men than women would do just that, with 21% of Great Britain's males indicating they would call this group.  In the United States, 19% of women surveyed said they would contact an ex-partner. Globally, calling Mom or Dad ranked fourth with 24 percent of respondents, while on average globally daughters are more likely to call their parents after hearing a memorable song than are sons. Of all the countries surveyed, the respondents in France were least likely to call their parents with only 8 percent of males indicating they would.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;On average, out of the seven countries surveyed, more men than women would call a friend.  The highest mentions of calling a friend were in the United States and India.  Women in Egypt, France and Mexico indicated they would call their partner before their friends while across the countries surveyed worldwide, men would feel more like calling friends than partners.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;In the United States and Great Britain, women respondents were more likely to call someone they haven't spoken to for a long while than their partner.  Forty-five percent of women in those two countries made this statement. According to the survey, in the U.S., calling someone they hadn't spoken to for a while rated higher with respondents than calling their partner.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;Men in most countries surveyed were likely to call someone who they wanted to be their partner.  Twenty percent of men in China and 19 percent of males in the United States would make contact with a potential partner. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;Calling a boss when hearing a memorable song rated low on the scale; however, in China and India, 7 percent of responding men indicated they would call their boss, three times the amount of other countries surveyed.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;The survey was conducted in August and September 2006 by Nokia in China, Egypt, France, Great Britain, India, Mexico and the United States with 1,000 people or more surveyed in each country. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;Nokia New Year's Eve is a global music event that on the night will travel from east to west, starting in Hong Kong, then Mumbai, then Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate, followed by Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema Beach and rounding off the night in New York.  This unique event will feature some of the most exciting international music stars including The Black Eyed Peas, Scissor Sisters and Nelly Furtado as well a host of local artists at each venue.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;&lt;b class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;&lt;b class="hugin"&gt;About Nokia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;Nokia is a world leader in mobile communications, driving the growth and sustainability of the broader mobility industry.

Napster Mobile gives customers access to Napster's expert programming on the handset, including featured artists and top tracks of the day.

Ericsson will host, integrate and manage the round-the-clock-operations of the service for O2 Ireland under a managed service agreement.

(NYSE: MOT) today announced orders worth $1 million for its MicroTCA(TM) system products that will enable off-the-shelf access to this open, standards-based technology.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The companies will integrate Motorola's MicroTCA core communications server technology into development systems to serve markets such as telecom access, military communications and diagnostic equipment for the healthcare industry. Early access to development systems such as this can help original equipment manufacturers gain rapid technology discovery and vital time-to- market advantage.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Simon Stanley, analyst at large at Heavy Reading and principal consultant for Earlswood Marketing said, "Motorola's numbers are by far the largest amount of revenue that I've seen for MicroTCA development systems and show that after only a few months since its ratification, MicroTCA adoption is well underway. The interest in MicroTCA across a range of markets encompassing telecom, military, medical and industrial computing applications indicates that MicroTCA has the potential to achieve significant economies of scale. With development budgets cut to the bone, standardized platforms such as MicroTCA will be crucial to the future success of many OEMs."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "The availability of communications servers based on open standards such as MicroTCA is accelerating the shift from the old supply chain model -- where OEMs supplied everything from boards to fully integrated applications -- to a model with systems integrators taking on much of the development previously kept in-house," said Paul Virgo, director of MicroTCA marketing, Embedded Communications Computing, Motorola. "In fact, for the first time since Motorola introduced the VMEbus 25 years ago, we believe that another standard has emerged that could change the landscape of embedded computing across all industry segments."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "We haven't seen this kind of broad-based interest in a standard since VMEbus," said Bob Behn, vice president marketing, Embedded Computing and Memory, Arrow Electronics.  "This clearly validates MicroTCA's potential impact on the market."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "Bringing together the COTS economies of Motorola's MicroTCA communications servers and our integration and customization capabilities will enable equipment manufacturers to begin realizing the benefits of MicroTCA technology now," said Pat Cathey, senior vice president and general manager, Avnet Technology Solutions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Companies interested in the Motorola MicroTCA system products may contact Arrow Electronics and Avnet Technology Solutions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    About Motorola's Communications Servers&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Motorola's communications servers are open, fully integrated systems that act as a common, carrier-grade platform for a wide range of applications. This common platform concept integrates hardware and software elements to enable equipment manufacturers to focus on adding their application-specific value, thereby reducing the time, cost and risk involved in deploying new revenue- generating applications or migrating existing applications to standards-based technology.

At the end of September 2005, ONE had about 900 employees and approximately 1.7 million network customers. ONE focuses on innovative products and services. ONE is the only mobile telephony operator in Austria to offer a free voicemail box, and with ABS it offers the first real cost-control service for private post-paid customers as well as in the business sector with the private mobile branch exchange, which forms a more flexible and inexpensive alternative to the fixed line. Since 2004, ONE has focused on music and is the pioneer when it comes to downloading musical pieces in full length at &lt;a href="http://www.ladezone.at/" class="hugin"&gt;www.ladezone.at&lt;/a&gt;. With LoungeFM, ONE presents the first mobile digital radio worldwide exclusively for UMTS-enabled handsets. ONE has a population coverage of 98 percent, as well as a banking licence for its 100 percent subsidiary ONE Bank GmbH, forming the basis of mobile payment applications. ONE is owned by the German E.ON (50.10 percent), the Norwegian Telenor (17.45 percent), the French Orange (17.45 percent) and the Danish TDC (15 percent).&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;&lt;b class="hugin"&gt;About Ericsson - HSPA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin" align="justify"&gt;HSPA (High-Speed Packet Access), the first step in the evolution path of WCDMA, enables operators to introduce attractive new services such as mobile broadband with mobile TV, mobile music, high-speed internet connectivity and fixed wireless services. Ericsson's HSPA solution offers ADSL-like peak data speeds for the downlink up to 3.6Mbps now, and up to 14.4Mbps by the end of 2006. Ericsson is the primary supplier to more than 50 percent of all commercially launched WCDMA networks and is the primary supplier to the world's first commercial HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) launch. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="footer"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table width="500"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span class="signatur"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr noshade="noshade" size="1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This content was distributed through&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.hugingroup.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.huginonline.com/img/hugin/online/hug_m.gif" alt="Hugin Group" heigh="34px" border="0" hspace="18" width="80" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- connecting communication professionals with their target audience. &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.hugincorporate.com"&gt;Visit us here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.huginonline.com/plsql/try/unsubscribe.unsub"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

The virtual community has replaced the physical&lt;br /&gt;neighborhood, adding new layers of complexity to the task of&lt;br /&gt;ensuring safety and security. Automatic user profiling and&lt;br /&gt;real-time content compliance enforcement are the&lt;br /&gt;intelligence tools required to keep the peace in the virtual&lt;br /&gt;community." says Maurizio Attisani, CEO of&lt;br /&gt;IntelligenceFocus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Community Watchdog(TM) dynamically profiles community users&lt;br /&gt;and their behaviors, and intelligently monitors live&lt;br /&gt;contents being published in every type of inbound and&lt;br /&gt;outbound communication. If a certain profile, behavior or&lt;br /&gt;content is closely matched against a known risk or is&lt;br /&gt;dangerously anomalous, it is reported in real time to the&lt;br /&gt;relevant authorities using a powerful and fully configurable&lt;br /&gt;security dashboard. The self-learning and self-updating&lt;br /&gt;technology gets "smarter" the longer it is employed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;For example, Community Watchdog(TM) can automatically detect&lt;br /&gt;sexually predatorial behaviors and contents contained in&lt;br /&gt;user pages and live communications. It can profile authors&lt;br /&gt;and readers, performing the behavioral analyses required for&lt;br /&gt;effective prevention. Only in this way is it possible to&lt;br /&gt;safeguard a virtual community from deviant content, stop&lt;br /&gt;criminal activity in its tracks and collect evidence for law&lt;br /&gt;enforcement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;"Families are simply not aware about how their children use&lt;br /&gt;the Web. Not only are they sharing opinions on their&lt;br /&gt;favorite bands, but also phone numbers, class schedules, and&lt;br /&gt;other personal information that could make them vulnerable&lt;br /&gt;to anyone who wants to track them down. This dark side of&lt;br /&gt;social networking is a parents' worst nightmare" continues&lt;br /&gt;Attisani.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;This first release of Community Watchdog(TM) comprehensively&lt;br /&gt;mines unstructured and structured data flowing over a&lt;br /&gt;virtual community network without compromising quality of&lt;br /&gt;service or imposing complex network integration. Live&lt;br /&gt;network flow analysis and user profiling avoids the need to&lt;br /&gt;store mass amounts of information and perform time and&lt;br /&gt;effort intensive post mortem analyses. By delivering&lt;br /&gt;Community Watchdog(TM) via DigiProbe(TM), a network&lt;br /&gt;appliance integrating the DIMS(TM), the solution is fully&lt;br /&gt;scalable and can be configured to provide real time&lt;br /&gt;compliance management for online communities ranging from a&lt;br /&gt;few thousand members to tens of millions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;About IntelligenceFocus&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;IntelligenceFocus, launched in 2004, was built on the&lt;br /&gt;conviction that intelligence is a key factor for businesses&lt;br /&gt;and individuals to compete, collaborate, survive and thrive.&lt;br /&gt;IntelligenceFocus' Dynamic Intelligence Management System&lt;br /&gt;takes live, structured and unstructured network flows and&lt;br /&gt;puts them to work in real time, adding a layer of&lt;br /&gt;immediately usable intelligence to virtually real-life&lt;br /&gt;operation. Corporations and governments worldwide are using&lt;br /&gt;this innovative technology to address today's most pressing&lt;br /&gt;problems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;For more information, visit http://www.intelligencefocus.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;MEDIA CONTACTS: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;USA:&lt;br /&gt;Todd Greenbaum&lt;br /&gt;todd.greenbaum@intelligencefocus.com&lt;br /&gt;(415) 244-5463&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Europe:&lt;br /&gt;Enrico Salsi&lt;br /&gt;enrico@pragmatika.it&lt;br /&gt;+39 0516242214&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;http://www.intelligencefocus.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;                       # # #&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Distributed by eReleases - http://www.ereleases.com&lt;br /&gt;10640 Jones Road, Kingsville, Maryland 21087&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

(NASDAQ: GOOG)&lt;br /&gt;announced today a program that will enable employees to sell vested&lt;br /&gt;stock options in an online auction. Under the Transferable Stock Option&lt;br /&gt;(TSO) program, employees will still be able to exercise their options,&lt;br /&gt;but will also be able to sell their options to financial institutions&lt;br /&gt;as an alternative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;This program represents an innovative way to compensate employees and&lt;br /&gt;will increase the efficiency of Google's equity compensation by&lt;br /&gt;increasing the per-option value of employee stock options. Google will&lt;br /&gt;amend the terms of eligible employee stock options to make vested&lt;br /&gt;options transferable.  The auction will be managed by Morgan Stanley.&lt;br /&gt;Smith Barney will serve as the employee stock option administrator.&lt;br /&gt;Google is working with multiple financial institutions to participate&lt;br /&gt;as bidders in the auction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;The ability to sell options is not a novel concept - today people can&lt;br /&gt;buy and sell options to purchase Google stock and the stock of many&lt;br /&gt;other companies on the public markets.  What is novel is that Google is&lt;br /&gt;extending this ability to trade options to employee stock options. If&lt;br /&gt;an employee chooses to sell options in the TSO program, he or she will&lt;br /&gt;use an internal online tool built by Morgan Stanley to sell them to the&lt;br /&gt;highest-bidding financial institution. The financial institutions&lt;br /&gt;buying the options will then likely hold them until maturity and then&lt;br /&gt;settle with Google.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Google's employee stock options typically have a ten-year term from&lt;br /&gt;the grant date. Under the TSO program, Google's employee stock options,&lt;br /&gt;upon transfer, will have a lifespan of the lesser of two years or up to&lt;br /&gt;the remaining term under the original grant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Google expects this program will go into effect in the second quarter&lt;br /&gt;of 2007.  Only stock options issued since Google's initial public&lt;br /&gt;offering will be eligible for this program, and Google's Executive&lt;br /&gt;Management Group may not participate in the program.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;This program will not result in a change to the accounting method used&lt;br /&gt;for employee stock options. However, in the near term Google expects&lt;br /&gt;that the amount it recognizes as stock-based compensation will be&lt;br /&gt;greater than it would otherwise have been after the program goes into&lt;br /&gt;effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Google has discussed the TSO program with the Securities and Exchange&lt;br /&gt;Commission, and Google will ensure the program complies with applicable&lt;br /&gt;securities laws.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;For more information about this new program, please visit the Google&lt;br /&gt;Blog at http://googleblog.blogspot.com/.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;About Google:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Google's innovative search technologies connect millions of people&lt;br /&gt;around the world with information every day.

Featuring the widest selection of Nokia devices available, Nokia Flagship Stores feature an interactive, high-energy retail environment dedicated to educating customers and pairing them with the perfect wireless device. The Mexico location is Nokia's sixth global Flagship Store, following successful launches in New York, Moscow, Chicago, Hong Kong and Helsinki.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;The Mexico Nokia Flagship Store invites guests to explore a number of dedicated consumer experiences. Immediately upon entering to the store, shoppers will find a wide range of Nokia products. Each product is prominently displayed on a backdrop of multimedia displays and color-shifting walls, with the myriad of printed point-of-purchase materials so commonly found in most wireless retail stores noticeably absent. Instead, when a customer picks up a device, the multimedia screen behind that product changes from being part of a continuous band of full-motion graphics to interactive information with a listing of the features and benefits of that device.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;When guests enter the Nokia Nseries Lounge, they can experience first-hand the power of Nokia's most advanced wireless devices. In this area, photo printers, stereo speakers, laptop computers and more are paired with Nokia's advanced Nseries devices, allowing visitors to print high-quality images from devices like the 3.2 megapixel Nokia N93, or use high-fidelity speakers to listen to digital music tracks on devices such as the 4GB hard-drive equipped Nokia N91, or even learn how to synchronize music, contacts and more with the high-performance Nokia N90.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;The Nokia Flagship Store houses Nokia's luxurious line of handsets created by Vertu. Individually hand-crafted using precious materials and luxury processes often found in watchmaking, only the finest and most precious materials go into a Vertu handset, including diamonds, sapphire crystal, fine leather, polished ceramic, ruby bearings and luxurious housings of gold, stainless steel, and other fine metals. Each Vertu device also features a unique concierge key, allowing owners to be connected with one touch to a personal service professional. Vertu also ensures exclusivity with its regular, limited editions and numbered handsets.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;"Antara is not only the premier shopping area in Mexico, it is the premier shopping address in all of Mexico. Antara is synonymous with the best brands, superior service and an elegant shopping experience which is exactly what we are delivering in our Mexico Nokia Flagship Store location," says Cliff Crosbie, Director, Global Retail and Trade Marketing for Nokia. "Our highly trained and dedicated staff navigates visitors through the wide variety of Nokia wireless devices, learns about their wants and needs, and delivers to them a product that has been tailored specifically for them. It is this kind of customized service that makes the Nokia Flagship Store more of a boutique than a conventional electronics store - delivering the kind of retail experience expected from upscale stores found on Antara in Mexico City."&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;&lt;b class="hugin"&gt;About Nokia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="hugin"&gt;Nokia is a world leader in mobile communications, driving the growth and sustainability of the broader mobility industry.

"Cheap TV&lt;br /&gt;Spots has no immediate plans to acquire TiVo," said company&lt;br /&gt;president, Ann Clark. "TiVo is actually a better M&amp;amp;A target&lt;br /&gt;for Yahoo, Google or ASK.com. We are not ruling out&lt;br /&gt;partnering with TiVo or another DVR provider."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;At a time when the Cheap-TV-Spots star is rising (the media&lt;br /&gt;mavens recently received the MarCom Creative Awards 2006&lt;br /&gt;Gold Award), buzz on the internet is increasing about future&lt;br /&gt;moves by the company to broaden its market footprint. "We&lt;br /&gt;are currently focusing on our new mobile ad delivery system,&lt;br /&gt;as well as a hyper-discount, 24-hour turnaround, national TV&lt;br /&gt;advertising program for small businesses," Clark said. Cheap&lt;br /&gt;TV Spots provides domestic and international clients instant&lt;br /&gt;access to the entire North American TV market, and gives&lt;br /&gt;start-up technology companies and franchise businesses an&lt;br /&gt;inexpensive platform to launch campaigns locally or&lt;br /&gt;nationally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Also among the many companies rumored to be good candidates&lt;br /&gt;for an acquisition of TiVo are Apple Computer, Microsoft,&lt;br /&gt;Time Warner/AOL, and Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;In the TV advertising industry, Cheap-TV-Spots.com is&lt;br /&gt;renowned for its national caliber TV commercials produced on&lt;br /&gt;a shoestring budget. In 2006 alone, Cheap TV Spots has won&lt;br /&gt;the Crystal Vision Silver Award, Pegasus Award of&lt;br /&gt;Excellence, Summit Creative Awards Silver, Telly Bronze,&lt;br /&gt;Videographer Award of Distinction, and Worldfest Houston&lt;br /&gt;Bronze Remi, among others. Since its founding in 2001,&lt;br /&gt;CheapTVSpots.com has won 42 national and international&lt;br /&gt;awards for its original commercial productions, including 5&lt;br /&gt;Telly Awards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;"Cheap TV Spots" and the three-dogs logo are a registered&lt;br /&gt;trademark of Academy Leader, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;(http://www.academyleaderinc.com), a multi-faceted media&lt;br /&gt;company spanning TV, radio, film and new media venues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Contact: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Dan Kaus&lt;br /&gt;(727) 849-8823&lt;br /&gt;Email: info@cheap-tv-spots.com&lt;br /&gt;http://www.cheap-tv-spots.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;                       # # #&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;Distributed by eReleases - http://www.ereleases.com&lt;br /&gt;10640 Jones Road, Kingsville, Maryland 21087&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-post"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

(NYSE: MOT) today announced it has signed a US$75 million GSM network expansion contract with M-tel, one of the leading mobile communications operators in Nigeria.  This expansion will enable M-tel to extend its coverage across Nigeria.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "M-tel is currently re-grouping its business to prepare to lead the business drive for greater growth and penetration in the Nigerian market.  We want to increase the availability of our network and to expand our network coverage as quickly as possible to support greater subscriber growth. Motorola implemented M-tel's original radio network in 2003 and because of the quality of their equipment and their credibility in maintaining that original radio network, we've been very happy to turn to them again to expand our network further," said John Weir, M-tel CEO.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The scope of the expansion project covers installation, commissioning and the upgrading of sites in the cities of Benin, Ikorodu and Yola.  With this full turnkey project, Motorola is offering M-tel a solution of Motorola's network integration services to enable rapid and seamless deployment of all network elements.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Raphael Udeogu, Motorola Nigeria country manager said, "We're particularly pleased to have been awarded this contract through a competitive tender process.  This contract is a testament of the work Motorola is doing in Nigeria and it demonstrates M-tel's support of Motorola's corporate governance policy."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    "Motorola foresees substantial growth potential within the Nigeria market. In 1999 there were 500,000 fixed customers and today there are more than 20 million mobile customers and still, there are many regions that are without coverage.  The bulk of the network traffic in Nigeria is voice-centric and the expansion will provide much needed data services such as e-mail and Internet. The agreement with M-tel reinforces Motorola's continuing commitment not only to Nigeria but to the whole of sub-Saharan Africa.  Motorola is strongly positioned to provide quality wireless networking solutions in Africa, with local presence, expertise and capability," Udeogu concludes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    The expansion project is in line with the Motorola Reach GSM portfolio's aim to enable telecom operators to connect the next billion mobile subscribers by 2010 -- through the rapid and cost-effective deployment of mobile services. Motorola Reach underlines the company's commitment to address the diverse needs and desires of service providers, enterprises and consumers in emerging markets and around the world.  Motorola is driving forward with its vision to connect the unconnected and expects the implementation of the expansion to be completed by the end of first half of 2007.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    A portion of revenue on this contract was recognized by Motorola in the second and third quarters of 2006.  A portion of purchase price will be financed by Motorola.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    About M-tel&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;    Nigerian Mobile Telecommunications Limited (M-tel), established in 1996, provides affordable and reliable mobile cellular services throughout Nigeria. M-tel currently has an authorized share capital of N250 million, though the actual equity funding it has enjoyed is in excess of N40 billion.  The excess equity funding over the authorized share capital has been recognized as a deposit for shares.  M-tel's corporate vision is "to be the most preferred and well respected communications service provider in Africa".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;pre&gt;     Some milestones achieved by M-tel include:     Execution of Transmission Links in Yola - Maiduguri (720KM) by Motorola,     M-tel is the first GSM operator to in
