The Web site will serve as an easy-accessible national  real estate classified that is going to be free to all visitors, providing &lt;A  href="http://www.buystructuredsettlements.cn/"&gt;sellers, buyers and investors&lt;/A&gt;  with a whole new concept of marketing and &lt;A  href="http://www.verticalsearchengines.biz/"&gt;finding homes&lt;/A&gt; on the  Web.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;According to Geisen, the acquisition of Property.com will allow him  to focus his efforts on a different and potentially much larger segment of the  &lt;A href="http://www.zerodownrealestate.us/"&gt;real estate market&lt;/A&gt;. In fact, in  Geisen's opinion, the niche foreclosure market, which is Foreclosure.com's  market, represents just 2 percent of all available real estate &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Retl"&gt;inventory&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"I'm  going after the 98 percent of the real estate market outside of the foreclosure  business." said Geisen. "For the past several years, I've built and run one of,  if not 'the,' most successful Internet foreclosure businesses, but the business  was always exclusively &lt;A  href="http://www.wisconsin-real-estate.info/"&gt;distressed real estate&lt;/A&gt;. I've  achieved in Foreclosure.com what I set out to accomplish and I am ready for a  new challenge in a different market. I intend to shift my focus on developing my  new ideas that will &lt;A  href="http://www.internet-marketing.org.cn/"&gt;revolutionize how homes should be  listed&lt;/A&gt;, viewed and purchased. I've developed the critical skills which I  intend to apply to this new market," said Geisen.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Property.com will  include all listing types, including those indexed the Multiple Listing Service  (MLS), creating a database that could surpass more than 15 million homes, but  not including distressed properties, which will remain the business of  Foreclosure.com. The best part is that it will be totally &lt;A  href="http://www.verticalsearchengines.us/"&gt;free to search&lt;/A&gt; for &lt;A  href="http://www.nebraskaloans.info/"&gt;potential buyers&lt;/A&gt; and visitors, and  sellers will be able to upload and edit their own &lt;A  href="http://www.onlineadvertising.org.cn/"&gt;personal listings at no charge&lt;/A&gt;.  It's a wide-open model that Geisen knows will create an invaluable resource for  just about anyone interested in real estate.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"I'm raising the stakes and  pushing all my chips to the center of the table," said Geisen. "Foreclosure.com  and my related companies have been leaders in their spaces for nearly a decade.  I've seen what's been wrong with the way things were done and I've developed the  methods to fix them. I have the &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Sale"&gt;knowledge  and resources&lt;/A&gt; to take this to a whole new level . and that's what I plan to  do."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Geisen revealed the new Property.com will be unveiled sometime in  2009. The specific &lt;A href="http://www.cashequivalent.info/"&gt;terms of the  deal&lt;/A&gt; to acquire Property.com were not disclosed. However, Geisen indicated  that the &lt;A href="http://www.cashequivalents.info/"&gt;value of the deal&lt;/A&gt; is one  of the &lt;A href="http://www.minnesotaloans.info/"&gt;largest URL purchases&lt;/A&gt; to  date.&lt;BR&gt;That's a deal that has the seller Rick Schwartz - who is known as the  "Domain King" -- smiling from ear-to-ear. He &lt;A  href="http://www.mississippiloans.info/"&gt;purchased&lt;/A&gt; Property.com for $750,000  in 2005 and was recently introduced to Geisen through Kevin Leto of  BigTicketDomains.com about a possible re-sale.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"My job is to &lt;A  href="http://www.nameauction.ws/"&gt;acquire prime, industry specific domain  names&lt;/A&gt; with large volumes of natural type in traffic and eventually &lt;A  href="http://www.developdomains.info/"&gt;develop them&lt;/A&gt; to their fullest  potential by &lt;A href="http://www.findinvestors.info/"&gt;partnering with leading  companies&lt;/A&gt; in their respective fields which I have been doing for more than a  decade," said Schwartz," "Early on I saw the value in Property.com; however, I  never had the resources to develop it so it could reach its maximum potential.  Brad Geisen has the vision to truly get the most of Property.com for the benefit  of so many people in every corner of the United States. I'm thrilled to be a  part of this exciting new project with Brad."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Stay tuned for frequent  updates and milestones for the new Property.com. Feel free to visit the &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Inet"&gt;Web  site&lt;/A&gt; in its current form. However, as mentioned earlier, the complete  re-launch will not be official until sometime in 2009.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;About Brad  Geisen and Foreclosure.com&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Ten years ago, Brad Geisen founded  Foreclosure.com and built it over time to a company with more than 1.8 million  foreclosure, preforeclosure, &lt;A href="http://www.bankruptcy.jp/"&gt;bankruptcy&lt;/A&gt;,  FSBO and tax lien listings in one place, Foreclosure.com delivers America's  largest and most accurate searchable database of foreclosed homes and distressed  property information to its customers and business partners.

To &lt;A  href="http://www.searchengine-optimization.org.cn/"&gt;simplify searching&lt;/A&gt; for  foreclosed and lender-owned properties, Edina Realty now offers consumers a new  search option on its &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Inet"&gt;Web  site&lt;/A&gt;, www.edinarealty.com.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Consumers simply click on the home page  link, "Search Foreclosures" to pull up information and a link to all "In  Foreclosure/Lender-Owned Properties." Like all properties on the Edina Realty  Web site, &lt;A href="http://www.collegegrammar.com/"&gt;searches can be conducted&lt;/A&gt;  using an interactive map, or by area, city or school district. All properties  that are in foreclosure or lender-owned - Edina Realty's listings and those of  &lt;A href="http://www.brokeronline.info/"&gt;other brokers&lt;/A&gt; - will  appear.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Currently, over 3,000 foreclosed or lender-owned properties are  listed in Minnesota and W. Wisconsin, ranging in price from $8,000 to over $5  million. The Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®, which tracks closed &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Sale"&gt;sales&lt;/A&gt;  of lender-mediated homes, reports that these sales made up 27.6 percent of the  total market in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 9.3 percent of the market  in the first quarter of last year.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"The increase in foreclosures is  another opportunity for consumers to take advantage of the &lt;A  href="http://www.onebuckwiki.com/Mortgage_Rate"&gt;current real estate market&lt;/A&gt;,"  said Barb Jandric, Edina Realty general manager. "But when entering into this  type of &lt;A href="http://www.onebuckwiki.com/Home_Loan"&gt;real estate  transaction&lt;/A&gt;, it's critical to work with an agent with experience in these  types of listings who can help navigate a complex process and protect the  buyer's interests."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Jandric said that buying a foreclosed or lender-owned  property can be more complicated because the lender is &lt;A  href="http://www.cash-equivalent.info/"&gt;involved in the transaction&lt;/A&gt;, either  acting with approval powers or as the owner/seller.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;A property in  foreclosure means that the owner has been served a legal foreclosure notice.  Once the foreclosure process is complete, the property becomes lender-owned.  "Each situation is unique and &lt;A  href="http://www.settlementfactoringcompany.biz/"&gt;understanding the process&lt;/A&gt;  and the market is important," Jandric said. "For example, because these  properties may be previously owned by &lt;A  href="http://www.idied.info/"&gt;people&lt;/A&gt; experiencing &lt;A  href="http://www.secondmortgagevermont.com/"&gt;financial difficulties&lt;/A&gt;, they  may need updating and repairs. There may be liens or back taxes due on the  property.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"Knowledge is power in this market," Jandric said. "&lt;A  href="http://www.currency-e.com/"&gt;Researching market conditions&lt;/A&gt; and  thoroughly understanding the 'ins and outs' of the foreclosure process are  crucial."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Edina Realty, a subsidiary of HomeServices of America, is one  of the nation's largest real estate companies with 80 real estate offices  throughout &lt;A href="http://www.isanti.info/"&gt;Minnesota&lt;/A&gt;, North Dakota and  Western Wisconsin and more than 2,800 REALTORS®. Edina Realty's family of  companies includes Edina Realty, Edina Realty Title, Edina Realty &lt;A  href="http://www.newarkmortgage.info/"&gt;Mortgage&lt;/A&gt; and Edina Realty Relocation.  Edina Realty handled more than 26,300 transactions and $7.0 billion in &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Fi"&gt;sales  volume&lt;/A&gt; in 2007.

AT&amp;amp;T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced it offers the nation's fastest  third-generation (3G) network, according to data compiled by leading independent  wireless research firms. AT&amp;amp;T's superfast 3G mobile broadband network is  currently available in nearly 300 major U.S. metropolitan areas, with plans to  expand to nearly 350 by the end of the year. In addition, AT&amp;amp;T has the best  global coverage of any provider with roaming available in more than 200  countries, including more 3G roaming than any other carrier.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The fastest  3G network claim is based on a variety of tests conducted by leading third-party  researchers, who downloaded a variety of applications and files to test  throughput and overall performance. AT&amp;amp;T was the winner by a significant  margin.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;AT&amp;amp;T also announced it has started doubling the data capacity  of its 3G markets, and nearly half of all cell sites will receive additional 3G  capacity by the end of the year. The additional capacity will help accommodate  the anticipated growth of 3G subscribers over the next several years. According  to the Yankee Group, the number of 3G subscribers in the U.S. is expected to  increase by 160 percent by 2012.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"We've invested billions of dollars in  our 3G network, and now we can proudly claim it as the nation's fastest 3G  network," said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO of AT&amp;amp;T's &lt;A  href="http://www.w-i-f-i.info/"&gt;wireless&lt;/A&gt; unit. "We will continue to expand  our &lt;A href="http://www.3gphone.tv/"&gt;3G network coverage&lt;/A&gt; into new areas,  grow our lineup of industry-leading devices, such as iPhone 3G, and deliver  compelling new 3G services to market &lt;A href="http://www.tvphone.ws/"&gt;like  Video&lt;/A&gt; ShareSM. And to top it off, only AT&amp;amp;T offers the best global  coverage. AT&amp;amp;T's ability to serve its wireless customers is unparalleled in  our industry."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Between 2005 and 2008, AT&amp;amp;T will have invested more  than $20 billion in network improvements and upgrades - an average of $5 billion  a year. Much of this network investment has gone to build out the 3G broadband  data network, which today is available in 296 major metropolitan markets. In  addition, the company is deploying additional 3G coverage using 850 megahertz  (MHz) spectrum that is now available from the recent sunset of its older TDMA  network. This spectrum extends farther and better covers the interior of  buildings.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In addition to the company's constant 3G expansion in the  U.S., only AT&amp;amp;T can offer 3G data roaming in 60 countries, including Japan  and South Korea, as well as voice calling in more than 200 countries. Nearly all  devices in AT&amp;amp;T's current portfolio are "world phones" that can be used  around the world.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Another advantage of AT&amp;amp;T's 3G network is the  ability for customers to simultaneously use voice and data features. For  example, customers can make a call while checking for a local address on  YELLOWPAGES.COM. &lt;HR&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;Sprint's "iphone clone" the Samsung Instinct priced at  $129.99&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Daytona Beach, FL (PRunderground) June 20, 2008 -  Sprint's highly anticipated phone, the Samsung Instinct, goes on sale Friday.

THIS IS AWESOME, since it gives  us hard data on how many people are using any specific keyword phrase. This  information is critical for web site optimization or &lt;A  href="http://www.blog-optimization.com/"&gt;blog  optimization&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Rank Checking and Overture (Not Yahoo) Keyword  Tool&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Still tainted by people looking for rankings, this information  may be as good or better than anything out there for keyword research. I loved  Overture's keyword suggestion option and Yahoo was stupid to let it decline, in  my opinion. &lt;A href="http://www.info-products.us/"&gt;WordTracker&lt;/A&gt; may be pretty  good, but I never liked it and thought their fees were excessive. I think it's  also over-kill for &lt;A href="http://www.owningabusiness.info/"&gt;small business  owners&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Global Search Query Data&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;What we really  need is something that would take search query data from as many sources as  possible, weight the results based on the probability that people are doing &lt;A  href="http://www.web-rank.info/"&gt;rank checking&lt;/A&gt;, and aggregate the data into  something that would really represent global search query numbers.

The search giant has finally  placed a link to its privacy policy on the home page. Previously, users had to  click on multiple links, or search on the terms "Google privacy policy," to  reach the information.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This purely cosmetic change might placate some  watchdogs, who argued that Google was violating California law by not including  the link on its home page, but does nothing to solve the &lt;A  href="http://www.windowsecurity.info/"&gt;larger problem&lt;/A&gt;: Google stores too  much information about its users.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Among other data, the company retains  logs showing users' &lt;A href="http://www.proxyfind.net/"&gt;IP addresses&lt;/A&gt; and  their &lt;A href="http://www.verticalsearchengine.org/"&gt;search queries&lt;/A&gt;. Google  contends that IP addresses don't usually &lt;A  href="http://www.concealment.us/"&gt;reveal people's identities&lt;/A&gt;. But that  assertion ignores the reality that examining all of a person's searches can in  itself reveal identity. In other words, users' identities can be deduced whether  the IP address is real or a made-up sequence of numbers -- as long as it's  paired with all of the &lt;A href="http://www.burf.com/"&gt;searches&lt;/A&gt; originating  from a &lt;A href="http://www.laptopcredit.com/"&gt;single computer&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Last  week, &lt;A href="http://www.youknowwho.us/"&gt;a federal judge&lt;/A&gt; ordered Google to  disclose to Viacom complete user logs for YouTube, including all users' IP  addresses, screen names and which videos they watched. Google and Viacom have  since tried to quell privacy concerns, with Google saying it will ask to  "anonymize" IP addresses, even though that &lt;A  href="http://www.unprepared.us/"&gt;won't necessarily preserve&lt;/A&gt; users' privacy  as long as all of their information is still paired with the same identifier.  Viacom has also said it will handle all information confidentially.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As  privacy advocates point out, Google &lt;A  href="http://www.indemnification.us/"&gt;wouldn't be facing this problem&lt;/A&gt; now if  it hadn't compiled and stored these records in the first place.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Louis  Stanton, the federal judge who issued the order in the YouTube &lt;A  href="http://www.arizonacriminallawyers.info/"&gt;lawsuit&lt;/A&gt;, wrote in his opinion  that Google argues in its public policy blog that IP addresses aren't  necessarily personally identifiable. "We have proposed broad global privacy  standards, and are strong supporters of the idea that &lt;A  href="http://www.unguarded.us/"&gt;data protection laws&lt;/A&gt; should apply to any  data that could identify you. The reality is though that in most cases, an IP  address without additional information cannot," the blog states.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;But, &lt;A  href="http://www.mouthfullofspiders.com/"&gt;on other sections&lt;/A&gt; of its site,  Google equates IP addresses with personally identifiable information. "Due to  user privacy concerns, Google Analytics doesn't report on personally  identifiable information, including a visitor's IP address," the company states  on a site about Google's analytics tool.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In other words, even Google  realizes that, for all practical purposes, IP addresses should be treated as  personally identifiable information. Given the events of last week, the company  should rethink the wisdom of &lt;A href="http://www.file-cabinet.info/"&gt;retaining  such data&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Post your response to the public Online Examiner  blog.&lt;BR&gt;See what others are saying on the Online Examiner blog.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If this  issue was forwarded to you and you would like to begin receiving a &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Inet"&gt;copy of  your own&lt;/A&gt;, please visit our site - www.mediapost.com - and click on [&lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/"&gt;subscribe&lt;/A&gt;] in the  e-newsletter box.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;For advertising opportunities see our &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Media"&gt;online  media&lt;/A&gt; kit.&amp;nbsp; If you'd rather not receive this newsletter in the future  &lt;A href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Media"&gt;click  here&lt;/A&gt;.&amp;nbsp; We welcome and appreciate forwarding of our newsletters in their  entirety or in part with proper attribution.&lt;BR&gt;(c) 2008 MediaPost  Communications, 1140 Broadway, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10001&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt; &lt;HR&gt; &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;From what I've seen the IP address can provide very specific  information that can &lt;A href="http://www.trackphonecards.com/"&gt;track people&lt;/A&gt;.  This is especially true if&amp;nbsp;a time and date stamp is included with the log  informaiton, which it generally is. you may need a court order to get the  information from the &lt;A href="http://www.freeisp.cc/"&gt;person's ISP&lt;/A&gt;, but  that's not all that hard if you have a reason to request it. I&amp;nbsp;think we  need this. While tracking people can be as benign but annoying as showing you  ads based on past activity, it can also be abused on a more serious level. On  the other hand if&amp;nbsp;everyone&amp;nbsp;can mess around on the web with&amp;nbsp;little  or no chance of being identified or tracked..., well, we already have enough  spammers, hackers, crackers, and Turkish script kiddies to keep us  busy.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Perhaps Google&amp;nbsp;should encrypt the IP address and some of the  other information to keep it from being abused, well abused by anyone except  them. Of course if we saw signs of abuse then we would know it was them,  wouldn't we...?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><link>http://www.zoomspider.net/2008/07/can-i-get-little-privacy-please.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com ((hris)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17156434.post-7013594244943996101</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-07T11:08:28.172-07:00</atom:updated><title>Executive Says Sun Company Not Suffering from Open Source or open sores</title><description>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;Sun Executive Says Company Not Suffering from &lt;A  href="http://www.open-source.us/"&gt;Open Source&lt;/A&gt; Malaise Stifling  Novell&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;Sun's Chief Open Source Officer disputes Novell CEO's  claim that Solaris and OpenSolaris operating systems are &lt;A  href="http://www.usedcarsearch.biz/"&gt;going nowhere&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;Louisville, KY&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN  class=453572917-07072008&gt;&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;April 15, 2008 -- Novell is the  company stuck in an open source malaise, not Sun Microsystems, at least  according to Simon Phipps, chief open source officer for Sun. While talking with  IT Business Edge, Phipps responded to comments Novell CEO Ron Hovsepian made  regarding the future of Sun and OpenSolaris during a recent Linux Foundation  podcast. Phipps said that Hovsepian quoted inaccurate &lt;A  href="http://www.hit-counter.biz/"&gt;download numbers&lt;/A&gt; for OpenSolaris while  criticizing Sun's open source strategy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;BR&gt;"I  think that what Mr. Hovsepian is doing here is 'whistling in the dark,' as they  say." stated Phipps. "I think he's worried about the resurgence of a new, fast,  innovative OpenSolaris." &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Phipps noted that many open source vendors  offer commercial and free versions, with support available only for the  commercial offering. In response to Hovsepian's suggestion that Sun's strategy  for balancing open source and commercial interests isn't right, Phipps said,  "Novell's &lt;A href="http://www.strungout.info/"&gt;got a big problem&lt;/A&gt;. What  they're doing is trying to &lt;A href="http://wwwzupload.com/"&gt;sell open source  software&lt;/A&gt; as if it was &lt;A  href="http://www.coverlettersoftware.com/"&gt;proprietary software&lt;/A&gt;. The comment  that Mr. Hovsepian made seems to be projecting Novell's malaise onto Sun, but we  don't have that malaise. We ship a &lt;A  href="http://www.freeonlinemoney.us/"&gt;completely free&lt;/A&gt; piece of software that  &lt;A href="http://www.mp3downloads.cc/"&gt;anyone can download and use&lt;/A&gt; without  any restrictions."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The full interview with Phipps can be viewed at IT  Business Edge: http://www.itbusinessedge.com/item/?ci=40871&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Find the  latest news impacting the open source market at the Open for Business &lt;A  href="http://www.bizprolink-internet.com/blog/"&gt;Blog&lt;/A&gt;:  http://www.itbusinessedge.com/blogs/osb/&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;About IT Business  Edge and NarrowCast Group LLC&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;IT Business Edge delivers the  information, analysis and context that business technology decision makers need  to devise strategies, &lt;A href="http://www.oodb.org/"&gt;optimize resources&lt;/A&gt; and  capitalize on IT investments.

The &lt;A  href="http://www.legal-search-engine.com/"&gt;lawsuit&lt;/A&gt; was filed in the Eastern  District of Texas.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Last year Protus defeated j2 Global Communications in  another &lt;A href="http://www.patentattorney.cn/"&gt;patent lawsuit&lt;/A&gt; filed in the  United States District Court for the Central District of California. Judge Dean  Pregerson issued an order on November 13, 2007 &lt;A  href="http://www.case-law.us/"&gt;dismissing the case&lt;/A&gt; against Protus, with  prejudice (meaning the patents cannot be reasserted against Protus). The case  was closely followed by technology and communications companies because j2  Global &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Media"&gt;Communications&lt;/A&gt;,  prior to targeting Protus, licensed the patents to more than 30 companies.  Protus was the first company to challenge these patents in the courts and was  awarded a decisive victory.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"This is &lt;A  href="http://www.legaldocumentsguide.info/"&gt;another meritless case&lt;/A&gt; by j2. In  the last case the court held that the patents did not apply to Protus'  services," said Andrea Girones, General Counsel at Protus. "We are confident  that this case will be dismissed as well."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"I'm not surprised that j2  feels compelled to continue to clog the courts with these &lt;A  href="http://www.mouthfullofspiders.com/"&gt;unfounded&lt;/A&gt; lawsuits," said Joseph  Nour, Protus' Chief Executive Officer. "Protus' MyFax is the &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Inet"&gt;fastest  growing Internet&lt;/A&gt; fax service in the market and is aggressively gaining &lt;A  href="http://www.market-stock.info/"&gt;market share&lt;/A&gt; against j2's eFax. We are  confident that we will win this case on its merits and MyFax will continue to  erode j2's market share."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;About Protus&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Protus®  provides the highest quality &lt;A  href="http://www.time-billing-software.info/"&gt;software as a service&lt;/A&gt; (SaaS)  communications tools for small-to-medium-businesses (SMB) and enterprise  organizations, including award-winning MyFax, the fastest growing Internet &lt;A  href="http://www.faxbroadcasting.cn/"&gt;fax service&lt;/A&gt;; my1voice, the  cost-effective, feature-rich virtual &lt;A href="http://www.nevadaphone.info/"&gt;PBX  phone service&lt;/A&gt; that travels with the user from &lt;A  href="http://www.talkfree7.blogspot.com"&gt;phone to web&lt;/A&gt;; and Campaigner and  CampaignerPro, software-as-a-service &lt;A  href="http://www.email--marketing.info/"&gt;email marketing solutions&lt;/A&gt; with  advanced automation features.

Frost &amp;amp; Sullivan's analysis  shows that the cost of an open source telephony 'line' can be up to 40 per cent  less than an averagely priced IP &lt;A  href="http://www.marylandphone.com/"&gt;PBX&lt;/A&gt;/Communication Manager. Total cost  of ownership (TCO) comparison indicates a similar picture, with the cost  benefits far greater in a &lt;A href="http://www.contactusdirectly.com/"&gt;call  centre&lt;/A&gt; environment and in settings where the proportion of 'professional  services fee' is higher.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;New analysis from Frost &amp;amp; Sullivan  (&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial&gt;http://www.enterprise.frost.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT  face=Arial&gt;), European Open Source Telephony Market, finds that the market  shipped more than 74,000 lines in 2007 and estimates this to reach 1.95 million  in 2013.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Frost &amp;amp; Sullivan studied a number of 500+ extension  deployments in the open source telephony markets. Some of them included &lt;A  href="http://www.arizonaphone.info/"&gt;complex integration&lt;/A&gt;, while others were  across numerous sites distributed across continents. These deployments are  testimony of the capabilities of the technology and the expertise of the &lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Infosoft"&gt;people  supporting it&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"Our research finds that many of the open source &lt;A  href="http://www.alabamaphone.info/"&gt;telephony vendors&lt;/A&gt; have been enjoying a  very high growth rate," notes Frost &amp;amp; Sullivan Research Analyst Dorota  Oviedo. "Several notable open source telephony vendors are investing in the  European market and 2008 will be dominated by channel activities, especially  channel recruitment and training. Established participants will be investing to  expand their footprint mainly through distribution."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Nevertheless,  mindshare and user acceptance of open source telephony is relatively low at  present. Open source telephony vendors face a huge challenge in competing  against participants that use &lt;A  href="http://www.atlantaphone.info/"&gt;proprietary technologies&lt;/A&gt;. These vendors  benefit from their well-established (legacy) market position, brand image,  strong distribution network and strong relationship with the customer  base.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"The biggest challenge that the open source market has been facing  and gradually overcoming is the issue of negative market perceptions," says  Oviedo. "Open source projects are relatively young and thus, struggle with  market concerns and perceptions of lack of support, scalability, functionality  or &lt;A href="http://www.esgbuilt.com/"&gt;reliability&lt;/A&gt;."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A  href="http://consultant-directory.tradepub.com/?pt=cat&amp;amp;page=Comp"&gt;Open  source&lt;/A&gt; telephony vendors should invest in building awareness through site  visits, publishing success stories, and so on. Research suggests that once  prospects overcome the initial reluctance and run a test system, success rate  for open source telephony deployment is relatively high.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If you are  interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users and  other industry participants with an overview of the European open source &lt;A  href="http://www.georgiaphone.info/"&gt;telephony market&lt;/A&gt;, then send an e-mail  to Joanna Lewandowska, Corporate Communications, at  joanna.lewandowska@frost.com, with your full name, company name, title,  telephone number, company e-mail address, company website, city, state and  country.

Open  Registration officially begins July 17.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The .ME Registry concluded its  Landrush Period June 26. The 20-day time span was the first opportunity for the  public to apply for .ME domain names. More than 80 different &lt;A  href="http://nice-domain-evil-domain.blogspot.com"&gt;accredited registrars&lt;/A&gt;  from 24 countries are offering the catchy domain extension.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"In the  Landrush already, applicants from around the world will be receiving some &lt;A  href="http://www.sedo.com/search/searchresult.php4?&amp;amp;showuser=nielsencl"&gt;excellent  domain names&lt;/A&gt; such as Click-On.ME, &lt;A  href="http://www.veus.org/"&gt;ChatWith.ME&lt;/A&gt; and Optimize.ME - illustrating just  a few of the catchy names being awarded," said Predrag Lesic, the registry's  executive director. "This extension really does lend itself to creative and  attractive names whether for business or personal use."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Right now, the  official Quiet Period is in effect. During this Quiet Period, the .ME Registry  will be making domain awards, and in cases where multiple applications for the  same name were received, &lt;A href="http://www.nameauction.ws/"&gt;auctions will be  held&lt;/A&gt;. To date, through Sunrise and Landrush, the .ME Registry has received  more than 30,000 .ME applications.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"This has been one of the quickest,  most efficient contract-to-market timelines for any domain name extension," said  Lesic. "Open &lt;A  href="http://www.web-domain-name-registration.info/"&gt;Registration&lt;/A&gt; is a prime  time to secure your dotME."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Two-year minimums are required on all .ME  domain names registered during the Landrush and initial &lt;A  href="http://www.bizprolink-internet.com/"&gt;Open Registration&lt;/A&gt;  periods.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;For more information, or to apply to be a .ME Registrar, visit:  www.Domain.ME.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;About the .ME Registry:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;.ME  Registry (the d.b.a. of doMEn, d.o.o.) was chosen by the government of  Montenegro to operate the new .ME domain name extension. The domain extension  will be available to the general public worldwide in mid-July. .ME Registry  partners include ME-net, &lt;A href="http://www.hathotic.com/"&gt;GoDaddy.com&lt;/A&gt; and  Afilias Limited.

The &lt;A href="http://www.thatsno.com/"&gt;new domain name&lt;/A&gt;  brings the Go Daddy portfolio to an industry record 30 million domain  names.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This Internet first reflects thriving conditions on the Web and at  GoDaddy.com.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;While reports of a wavering economy and &lt;A  href="http://www.hydrogenfuel.cc/"&gt;surging oil prices&lt;/A&gt; dominate the news, Go  Daddy's business is booming. Why? More and more &lt;A  href="http://www.kevinham.ws/"&gt;people&lt;/A&gt; and businesses are moving to establish  their own space on the Internet.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Right now, Go Daddy is registering,  renewing and &lt;A href="http://www.backorderdomain.info/"&gt;transferring names&lt;/A&gt;  used for Web site addresses to the tune of about one every second of every day.  This flies in the face of &lt;A  href="http://www.domainercomplainer.org/"&gt;critics&lt;/A&gt; who, years ago, suggested  the surge to &lt;A href="http://www.buying-a-domain.info/"&gt;register domain  names&lt;/A&gt; was all but over.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Go Daddy is also racking up substantial &lt;A  href="http://www.buydiamondringonline.com/"&gt;e-commerce&lt;/A&gt; numbers, which align  with industry analyst predictions. Forrester Research forecasts online spending  in 2008 will increase by 17 percent. Go Daddy expects even higher numbers. The  Web leader's Quick Shopping Cart is a key e-commerce tool because it makes  setting up an &lt;A href="http://www.myjewellery.biz/"&gt;online store&lt;/A&gt; easy and  affordable.
