We are now leading our industry to innovate new businesses that solve emerging and complex consumer problems," said Carol Carpenter, general manager and senior vice president at Trend Micro. "As a company, we have invested years into creating the infrastructure needed to protect people and their 'stuff' on any device they use. Given the strength of our cloud infrastructure, expertise in security and the strength of our consumer products, our expectation is that Trend Micro's consumer division will continue to grow at a healthy pace."

GSMA Latin America Launch Data Roaming Transparency Scheme

Mobile Operators to Help Consumers Better Understand and Manage Data Usage, Addressing Head-On the Issue of Bill Shock

SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the GSMA announced that more than 40 Latin American mobile network operators (MNOs) have launched a data roaming transparency scheme in the region that will provide consumers with greater visibility of their roaming charges and usage of mobile data services when travelling within the region and abroad. The initiative is supported by operator groups including America Movil, Antel, Entel Chile, Millicom, Oi, Orange, Telecom Italia and Telefonica, all of whom agreed to undertake a number of measures in the countries in which they operate to help mobile subscribers better understand their data roaming charges and more effectively manage their use of data services when visiting other countries. The MNOs participating in this initiative account for more than half a billion mobile subscribers across the region.

"The Latin America region is unique in that we are at different stages of economic development, so it is important that we help consumers to better understand any costs that they may face and provide a consistent experience for consumers, wherever they travel," said Javier Delgado, Chair of the GSMA Chief Regulatory Officers' Group of Latin America.

"This is an important initiative and the second recently undertaken by MNOs in the region, following on from a commitment to combat mobile phone theft earlier this year," said Sebastian Cabello, Director of GSMA Latin America. "MNOs are acting proactively in order to address customers' needs to both ensure increased transparency of services and maintain the security of consumers' information and data."

The GSMA is committed to working with MNOs in the Latin America region and around the world to adopt the following measures:

    --  Sending text messages to remind customers of their data roaming tariffs
        when they arrive in another country and turn on their mobile device;
    --  Implementing a monthly data roaming spending limit to help consumers
        manage their roaming bill and sending alerts when their data usage
        approaches the limit; and
    --  Temporarily suspending data service when usage exceeds the spending
        limit.
All national Latin American operations of the above listed MNO groups have agreed to implement these data roaming transparency measures starting now, with full completion by end of the first half of 2013. The GSMA has been promoting the adoption of roaming transparency measures across its membership of nearly 800 mobile operators worldwide following the launch of its global data roaming transparency initiative on 21 June 2012(1).

Roaming services in Latin America have been growing steadily following retail price reductions of up to 80 per cent since 2007 in some countries, through the provision of an increasing range of innovative pricing tariffs and the expansion of these additional services to prepaid customers. However, the availability of these roaming services is still constrained by several factors, including double taxation that can increase end-user prices by up to 40 per cent(2).

"Data usage is continually increasing in Latin America with the adoption of smartphones, tablets and new generation devices, and we look to continue working with regional operators to offer better, customised and more transparent services to customers," added Delgado.

Notes to Editors:

On 17 July 2012 GSMA Latin America announced the commitment of the main MNOs in Latin America to collaborate with the regional governments in initiatives designed to reduce mobile phone theft and related crime. This voluntary initiative of GSM MNOs will allow the sharing of stolen mobile device information in order to block stolen devices and make their trafficking and reuse across the region more difficult.

Confused.com Launches a New Mobile Phone App to Make Parking Easier

CARDIFF, Wales, September 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Confused.com has highlighted that 69% of motorists avoid areas due to the cost of
parking. However, it has come up with a solution: the 'Confused.com Parking' app.

    Confused.com Parking is the new easy-to-use parking app that gives drivers directions
to car parks, finds out how much they charge, and helps drivers choose the closest and
cheapest location via their current location using the GPS on their mobile phone or by
typing in an area or postcode.

    Car insurance [http://www.confused.com ] expert Confused.com tackles the tricky
problem of parking prices with the latest addition to their growing app portfolio. The
new, free and useful car parking app has been developed for Confused.com by Rant Media
with data obtained in an exclusive partnership between Confused.com and Parking Data &
Research International. The data is updated several times a month.

    The Confused.com Parking app provides transparency on car park prices to consumers and
is a solution to help save them money when shopping. The app means they no longer have to
just accept the first car park they stumble upon but allows users to make the best choice
for their pockets.

    The app is free to download from Apple's App Store and takes advantage of the iPhone's
innovative mobile phone technology. The operating systems for the app are iOS 5 and later
and are compatible with iPhone 4 or later versions. The Confused.com Parking app is also
being developed for both Android and Windows phones and will be available later this year.

    The parking app is the latest innovation from Confused.com this year with more to come
in the coming months.

    App users can get directions to car parks, find out the cost of parking and choose
both the closest and cheapest.

    Users can identify the cheapest car park before setting out on their journey by using
destination or postcode; whether disabled parking spaces are available; CCTV,
baby-changing facilities and even park-and-ride, and if they accept electronic payment -
we wouldn't want drivers to be caught short.

    Drivers worried about their time limit expiring can use the app to set up a parking
timer to remind themselves the cost that has been clocked up and when their parking space
expires, plus costs attracted by choosing to stay longer. Phone alerts will be sent to the
user to make them aware of their car parking time.

    The app is free and is so simple to use, even a child could use it. Drivers needn't
make parking any more difficult than it needs to be; they can just download the app and no
one's pocket money will be wasted on excessive parking prices.

    Gonzalo Bernstein, Head of Business Development at Confused.com, who worked closely on
the development of the app, said: "We anticipate this app will help reduce arguments
between couples and friends in cars, reducing the time spent driving around aimlessly
looking for space and also reducing costs.

    "The app is free so we anticipate iPhone users will snap up the chance to save time
and money with it, and we anticipate announcing both Android and Windows versions before
the end of this year.

    "It goes without saying that we recommend the app is either used when stationary or by
a passenger and never by a driver in motion."

    For more about the app, please visit: http://www.confused.com/parking-app

The Dallas Morning News And Slingshot Announce Formation Of Social Media Agency, Speakeasy

DALLAS, Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dallas Morning News and Slingshot LLC today announced the creation of Speakeasy (http://yourspeakeasy.com), a joint venture between the two companies that is majority-owned by The Dallas Morning News. Speakeasy is a social content marketing company that will conceive, develop, manage and execute turnkey social campaigns and promotions for both local and national brands.

Activities for the firm will include content creation, social media management and associated SEO activities, newsletter development and delivery, video creation and distribution and reputation management.

Jim Moroney, publisher and CEO of The Dallas Morning News, was named Chairman of the Board of the newly created company, and Owen Hannay, founder of Slingshot, was named CEO.

Moroney said, "Speakeasy will leverage the assets of both partners. Slingshot has a track record of innovation in the digital realm and has demonstrated an ability to manage a superior service operation for the past seventeen years."

Moroney added, "The Dallas Morning News has many advertisers who look to us for marketing solutions and have been asking us to help them with their social media needs. Speakeasy is committed to meeting that trust by delivering superior results with a strong team and efficient operations."

Hannay said, "We have felt for a long time that, executionally, social media needs a publishing partner, and we can think of no better partner in that activity than The Dallas Morning News."

Mike Orren, formerly the founder and president of Pegasus News, has been hired as the president of the organization. (The Dallas Morning News acquired Pegasus News in July 2012 in an unrelated transaction.) Orren has also served in senior leadership roles at American Lawyer Media and D Magazine and has served as a consultant on digital content and marketing to numerous media companies including Examiner.com and CBS Local. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences like BIA Kelsey, Online News Association and SXSW Interactive.

"Speakeasy uses great content to develop and maintain meaningful relationships between companies and their customers--relationships that benefit both sides and deliver real, measurable sales results that go beyond 'likes' and 'follows,'" said Orren. "We have built a launch team of experienced and award-winning editors, journalists and marketers who will focus more on communications and guerilla marketing than on the mere ability to use social platforms."

In addition to hiring additional strategists, account managers and fulfillment specialists in coming months, Speakeasy is building a network of freelance writers, photographers and videographers with deep local and niche expertise. Interested parties can apply at http://yourspeakeasy.com/join/.

iPhone Adds Real-Money Bets in Great Leap Forward for Mobile Gambling Industry, Announce Mobilecasinogame.co.uk

LONDON, September 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    UK becomes testing ground for burgeoning new real-money gambling app sector

    iPhone users in the UK will be able to gamble with real money via their smartphones
for the first time. The site, which specialises in news and reviews of mobile casino
games, confirms that Big Fish Games Inc. is to introduce a new Big Fish Casino app, which
will accept real-money wagers.

    The app is a rebranded version of the Seattle-based company's highly successful
mobile-social casino game, Card Ace: Casino, and will feature slots, video poker, roulette
and blackjack. In contrast to the free-to-play Card Ace: Casino, the newly revamped
version will allow users to gamble with real money via the app for the first time. The new
Big Fish Casino app will be available through iOS, Google's Android platform, and through
Facebook too.

    However, the real-money betting options will only be available to users within the UK,
where mobile and online gambling is legal, provided that they are over 18 years old. The
app has been specifically redesigned to make gameplay easier for smartphone and tablet
users, and Big Fish isn't the first gaming brand to overhaul its products for a more
mobile generation.

    Betfair's latest financial results, covering the six months to the end of October
2011, show strong year-on-year growth for the company's mobile division. Over this
six-month period, over GBP800 million was traded through its mobile service, resulting in
GBP9.1 million in revenue. Real-money mobile gambling accounted for 7.3% of its overall
exchange revenue, up 96% year-on-year.

    Facebook also introduced its first real-money gambling app last month. Bingo & Slots
Friendzy allows users in the UK to play a variety of bingo and slots games with real money
via Facebook for the first time, rather than using Facebook credits.

    According to http://www.mobilecasinogame.co.uk real-money apps developers are
finding a useful testing ground in the UK, known for its more relaxed gaming laws, where
online and mobile gambling are legal. With debt-ridden European governments searching for
new revenue streams, it might not be too long before we see real-money mobile gaming
extend outwith the UK.

    --  His brand relevance model, in which innovative offerings form categories
        and subcategories that provide dramatic opportunities for brand teams to
        lead the market.
    --  Successful brand relevance competition, which involves four vital tasks:
        concept generation, concept evaluation, creating barriers to the

        category or subcategory.
    --  Case studies to demonstrate how brands will prosper by creating and
        managing new brand categories or subcategories.

Casio Strikes A Chord With The Introduction Of Four Privia Digital Pianos

Privia Features New AiR Sound Engine

DOVER, N.J., Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio today announced the introduction of four new keyboards to its popular Privia digital piano line. Representing a significant step in the continuing evolution of the Privia line, the PX-150, PX-350, PX-750 and PX-850 offer an enhanced keyboard and a new powerful sound engine that provides a superior grand piano experience with exquisite detail in the lightweight and stylish design that Privia is known for.

"We are proud to launch the next generation of Privia digital pianos, which appeal to musicians for their portability, yet authentic piano type feel. This allows musicians to be highly productive when not in a studio," said Stephen Schmidt, Vice President of Casio's Electronic Musical Instruments Division. "The new Privia digital pianos deliver exceptional sound quality and are equipped with an abundance of new features, offering an enhanced performance."

All four new models feature a redesigned 88-note Tri-sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard. The simulated ebony and ivory textured keys on these digital pianos reproduce the touch feeling of an acoustic piano while the scaled weighted action keyboard provides the depth and integrity of an acoustic piano. Simultaneously, the tri-sensors capture a performance with more accuracy and speed than most traditional keyboards, resulting in an authentic piano touch that captures every detail and nuance. This is all intended to provide a natural sensatory feel for the musician while delivering the sounds and benefits of a digital piano.

Casio's new proprietary sound source, "AiR" (Acoustic and intelligent Resonator), delivers unmatched realism and detail. Utilizing over three times the waveform memory of the previous generation, the AiR engine provides sensational dynamics, damper resonance and even compensates for the speed at which hammers strike strings at different velocities and key ranges.

The new expanded Privia line not only has four different models which are available in a variety of colors and finishes but some models have expanded capabilities of the AiR sound source with up to 256 notes of polyphony, sympathetic resonance and cabinet simulation. The PX-350 and PX-850 also provide the ability to record a 44.1kHz .wav file directly to a USB thumb drive so that rehearsals, performances and moments of inspiration can be easily captured and shared.

Casio's new Privia models will be available at music dealers in either black or white. The PX-150 can be purchased for an MSRP of $899.99, the PX-350 for an MSRP of $1,099.99 , the PX-750 for an MSRP of $1,099.99 and the black PX-850 for an MSRP of $1,499.99.

Playcast Media Partners with Set-Top Box Leaders Cisco, Pace and AirTires

New Technology Partnerships Ensure That The World's Best Video Games Can Be Streamed To Over 100 Million Set-Top Boxes Worldwide

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBC 2012 -- Playcast Media, one of the world's leading active cloud gaming service providers, today announced four new technology partnerships with some of the largest companies in the set-top market: Cisco, Pace and AirTires which represent a total new install based of over 100 million households worldwide on top of the existing partnerships with Samsung and Sagem.

The partnerships include an integration of Playcast's streaming technology with the set-top boxes manufactured by these companies which ensure that the world's best games can be instantly streamed to cable and IPTV subscribers around the world.

Playcast video game partners include renowned publishers such as Atari, Capcom, Codemasters, Disney, Sega, THQ, Warner Bros and more.

But cloud gaming, and more specifically, our technology, changes that model," said Guy De Beer, Playcast Media chief executive officer. "These new technology partnerships are great news for cable providers. Now they too can get in on the game and deliver some of the world's most popular gaming content directly to subscribers around the globe."

Playcast's Cloud Gaming TV service brings the world's major video games brands as a managed streaming service to TV operators, and is integrated as a software application on existing set top boxes and other video-enabled connected device. The service is embedded into the TV lineup, just like another video channel on Pay-TV platforms.

THRIVE Intelligence(TM) Secures Channel Loyalty With Unique Revenue Sharing Program For Video Monitoring Services

THRIVE 360(TM) solution enables integrators to move from unstable, project-based revenue to long-term, sustainable business model

DALLAS, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- THRIVE Intelligence, a provider of video security as a service, has introduced a new partner program that provides integrators with dependable, predictable income streams, and as a result, reduces the need to pursue one-time, low-margin installation projects. Integrators who sell THRIVE 360, the Company's end-to-end video surveillance solution, will receive a monthly revenue split for the life of the contract.

"THRIVE Intelligence has successfully combined leading-edge video surveillance equipment with state-of-the-art software in one user-friendly platform," said Dean Wilson, CEO of THRIVE. "Together with a first-of-its-kind revenue sharing model for the video monitoring industry, we have created an unbeatable, turnkey offering that not only satisfies the exploding demand for intelligent video security, but which also provides integrators with a previously-unavailable source of recurring revenue."

Integrators who offer monitoring services to commercial customers at THRIVE's top service level can receive up to a $15 per month, per camera commission for the life of the customer relationship, with no cap on the number of cameras. Monthly monitoring for commercial end users costs approximately $60 per month, per camera. THRIVE has achieved such an attractive price point and revenue split by significantly streamlining and automating its technology and processes to create THRIVE 360, a turnkey, end-to-end solution that is easy for integrators to install and set up. To serve customers with legacy camera installations, whether analog or IP, THRIVE offers an intelligent appliance that plugs into the customer's network and sends the video signal back to THRIVE'S command center. 

THRIVE's 24,000 square foot, purpose-built command center in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex provides monitoring 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. This fully redundant facility, with full disaster recovery capabilities, is staffed by highly trained, licensed Security Intervention Specialists who are supervised by law enforcement professionals. This unprecedented combination of technologies, analytics, and real-time monitoring enables integrators to have the assurance that they are providing end customers with the most advanced, proactive, security surveillance solution available.

THRIVE plans a similar residential video security offering in late 2012.

Integrators interested in learning more about THRIVE 360 and THRIVE's partner program can call Rick Cook at 972-331-6903.
