Philippines’ Smart Communications Using Sandvine to Offer “Bite-Sized” Mobile Internet Plans

leave a comment »

SMART’S PowerApp offers short-term access to highly-valued applications – anywhere!

WATERLOO, Ontario, June 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Sandvine (TSX: SVC), a leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions for fixed and mobile operators today, announced that Smart Communications is using Sandvine’s Network Policy Control solutions to support PowerApp – the world’s first mobile Internet store – which allows users to purchase “bite-sized”, application-specific, mobile service plans to fit their particular preferences and needs.

PowerApp, developed by Smart Communications’ technology partner, Chikka Philippines, communicates with the data network to enable applications to dispense mobile data on demand, at precise speeds and bandwidths for highly valued services. Integrated with Sandvine’s Usage Management solution, PowerApp offers users service plans, such as Email, Chat, Photo and Social packages, in 15-minute, 3-hour or per-day unlimited access, depending on the particular application and plan, for an incredibly low fixed price. The packages provide “always-on” access to top apps anywhere, without the need for a Wi-Fi connection.

“In the Philippines, nearly 95% of subscribers are on pre-paid or pay-as-you-go plans. PowerApp represents an affordable model that makes sustainable economic sense for consumers and for telcos, which are able to distribute data more efficiently and profitably across all customer segments,” said Michele Curran, Data and International Services Head at Smart Communications. “With the perspective of emerging markets, Chikka together with Sandvine helped rationalize the mobile data business for Smart Communications, and together we are helping lead the worldwide race to connect the unconnected.”

PowerApp was launched in December 2013 and already millions of Smart subscribers have adopted plans.

“Sandvine’s Usage Management solution enabled us to create innovative service plans that are highly-valued by our customers, so they can keep posting, liking and tweeting everywhere they go, making the experience truly mobile,” added Curran.

“To meet the needs of this emerging market segment, Smart Communications needed to quickly create new, innovative, app-like mobile data plans that offered access to highly-valued applications in affordable, bite-sized increments,” said Tom Donnelly, co-founder and COO, Sales and Global Services. “Sandvine’s Usage Management product offers the flexibility, ease-of-deployment and time-to-market advantages that rigid incumbent solutions, which rely heavily on custom professional services, could never deliver.”

Fighting for Their Lives: Economist Intelligence Unit Report Finds Patient Groups Lead Global Efforts to Address Hepatitis C

leave a comment »

BEERSE, Belgium /PRNewswire/ — ‘Tackling hepatitis C: Moving towards an integrated policy approach‘, a report published by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) today reveals that many countries around the world have been slow to respond with national policies on hepatitis C despite recent government pledges to fight the disease. The hepatitis C virus remains the leading cause of liver cancer, liver disease and liver transplantation placing a huge burden on patients’ lives and healthcare systems.

To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:
http://www.multivu.com/mnr/71400562-janssen-new-reports-hepatitis-c

Even though incremental progress has been made the report states that, ‘concrete initiatives remain thin on the ground’ because of limited resources, data and information about the impact of hepatitis C. The report finds that despite growing awareness of the disease, epidemiological data remain scarce. This improved awareness underscores the need for a co-ordinated response. However, global variations in prevalence of and approaches to addressing hepatitis C still persist.

Non-government organisations (NGOs) and patient groups are leading the way in raising awareness of hepatitis C and calling for rapid responses from governments.

“People have got to stop asking, ‘should we have a hepatitis programme?’ and start saying ‘when are we going to have one?,'” said Charles Gore, President of the World Hepatitis Alliance, who, in the report, makes a case for integrating hepatitis initiatives into already existing programmes such as HIV and cancer. “The 194 countries of the World Health Organisation have provided tangible direction through the recent Resolution on Viral Hepatitis. Now it’s up to national agencies and programmes to work together to develop and implement their own strategies tackling viral hepatitis.”

Viral hepatitis can lead to years of chronic liver infection and kills 1.4 million people annually, a far higher number than previously thought.[1] With a peak in hepatitis C-related complications expected in 2020 – 2025, it is imperative to take action now in order to prevent a steep increase in the rate of liver cancer and mortalities associated with the disease. A number of conclusions can be drawn from the report to help achieve this:

  • Surveillance of hepatitis C needs to improve and be integrated into local strategies.
  • Screening and diagnosis must reach vulnerable populations to allow effective prevention and care.
  • Outreach is key to improve awareness of hepatitis C, mobilise stakeholders and ensure coordinated initiatives.

“Countries need to invest in data. They need to be able to identify the problem to be able to tackle it effectively,” said Jack Wallace, Executive Member of the Coalition to Eradicate Viral Hepatitis in Asia Pacific. “Governments can then develop co-ordinated responses so that everyone is clear about what they need to do, who is responsible and what outcomes they need to measure.”

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne virus which affects as many as 170 million people, or 2.4% of the world’s population.[2],[3] Despite this, less than half of all countries monitor the chronic form of the disease which can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer and accounts for 1% of deaths worldwide.[1],[4]

“Whilst it is a positive step forward that hepatitis C is being recognised at a governmental level, the report shows that there is still much to be done to help countries address the disease nationally,” said Gaston Picchio, Global Hepatitis Disease Area Leader, Janssen. “By working with the local hepatitis C communities, Janssen aims to elevate the disease as a serious public health issue and is seeking commitment from everyone involved in the care of these patients to improve healthcare infrastructure and overall outcomes for all those affected.”

Different regions face specific challenges in addressing hepatitis C. For example, Italy’shepatitis C problem is worst among people over age 40. Whilst Australia has adopted a national hepatitis C strategy, its experience shows that even the most comprehensive policies face challenges in implementation. A lack of sufficient data is one of many obstacles to understanding the true scale of infection in Southeast Asia. And in Latin AmericaBrazil is leading the way in promoting better access to data, diagnosis and treatment globally as it acts early to establish guidelines and protocols to tackle hepatitis C.

A copy of the EIU report is available at the following link: http://www.janssen-emea.com/hpc/reports/hep-c-policy-approach

This report follows publication of ‘The silent pandemic: Tackling hepatitis C with policy innovation’ in January 2013, which investigated how systemic innovation could minimise the impact of hepatitis C. Both reports were made possible as a result of financial support from Janssen Pharmaceutical NV (Janssen).

About Janssen

Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson are dedicated to addressing and solving the most important unmet medical needs of our time, including oncology (e.g. multiple myeloma and prostate cancer), immunology (e.g. psoriasis), neuroscience (e.g. schizophrenia, dementia and pain), infectious disease (e.g. HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C and tuberculosis), and cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (e.g. diabetes). Driven by our commitment to patients, we develop sustainable, integrated healthcare solutions by working side-by-side with healthcare stakeholders, based on partnerships of trust and transparency.

Janssen believes to effectively fight hepatitis C, a serious commitment is required from all stakeholders to improve the healthcare infrastructure across the continuum of care, increase awareness, provide education and ensure access to effective treatment for people living with hepatitis C. Janssen is working around the world to be a positive catalyst in the fight towards eradication of this deadly disease and serious public health problem.

leave a comment »

AMSTERDAM /PRNewswire/ — Today Atradius Collections releases the new edition of the International Debt Collection Handbook explaining the different stages of amicable settlement, financial regulations around collections, legal proceedings and insolvency procedures. The handbook is useful for credit managers confronted with the diversity and complexity of country-specific debt collections, now covering 38 countries, including ChileUkraine and South Africa.

International debt collection and country-specific legal systems create challenges that affect every business. The International Debt Collection Handbook has proven to be an invaluable, highly demanded product for decision-makers in the collections and credit management industry. It gives readers an overview of foreign debt collection practices at country level. Rudi De Greve, Global Operations Director at Atradius Collections, explains: “The amicable collection route should always be the preferred option, however, taking legal actions is sometimes required. In either case, the key is to respect local ethics and the law. Only with local expertise can businesses ensure they are following a professional and successful approach.”

Moreover, payment delays are common and insolvency risks remain high, both negatively impacting cash flow. A complex payment procedure in many cases results in foreign payment delays.

Therefore Atradius Collections is planning on expanding its geographical reach into new markets, strengthening its global market position.

Mid-year Security Threat Review from ESET

leave a comment »

Distinguished Researcher, Aryeh Goretsky, presents ESET’s Mid-Year Threat Review: Do you know the Latest Threats out There?

SINGAPORE, June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — ESET®, a global pioneer in proactive protection for 25-years, invites everyone interested in security to attend ESET’s mid-year security threat review in a free Webinar, hosted Wednesday, June 25, 2014 10:00AM – 11:00AM Pacific [GMT-8].

This webinar will focus on some of the more interesting pieces of malware and threats that have occurred during the first six months of the year, focusing on serious new developments as well as the persistence of numerous older threats that continue to plague our systems.

Included in ESET’s review is the latest information on banking Trojans, BitCoin miners and stealers, Heartbleed SSL vulnerability, Mac and iPhone threats, nation-state malware campaigns, and the Windigo campaign. Presenter Aryeh Goretsky, a distinguished researcher at ESET and veteran of the anti-virus malware industry, will also discuss the end of life of Windows XP and the impact it will have on the future of the security landscape.

Goretsky has been involved in the security industry since 1989. Having started his career in the technical support department, Goretsky is keenly aware of the damage malware can do to computers and their networks. He moved to the labs in 2006, but, in his free time, Goretsky still likes to spend time on forums, helping people who are having technology problems, an activity he has been recognized for with awards from both Lenovo and Microsoft.

“What ‘s fascinating about working in computer security is that you face new challenges and threats every day. It’s essential that those responsible for protecting computers keep themselves informed of the latest attacks and emerging trends,” explained Goretsky. “2014 has seen fascinating new developments, with the continuing rise of Android malware, state-sponsored cybercrime and organized criminals exploiting poorly-protected computers for the purposes of stealing information and making money.”

The depth of his security knowledge and experience in the industry makes Goretsky an ideal presenter for interactive webinars, where he can contextualize the malware problem for businesses and organizations.

When asked what malware he dislikes the most, “Malware that alters, corrupts, destroys, modifies or steals a user’s data is on my ‘most-hated’ list,” replied Goretsky. “To me, that’s the ultimate violation of a user’s computer.”

The hour-long session, hosted by BrightTalk, will include a questions and answer session. To sign up to ESET’s mid-year threat review, visit https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/1718/110971. Those who cannot attend will be able to access a recording of this webinar.
