Telcos are "struggling" to glean adequate business intelligence on their customers because their suppliers are failing to provide adequate systems, says analyst Ovum.
"A holistic view of the telco customer across siloed applications is essential for operators looking to reduce churn, but the majority of BI and analytics solutions on the market today are not up to scratch," says Ovum.
In its 'Ovum Decision Matrix: Business Intelligence and Analytics for Telcos' report, the analyst house says getting value from BI and analytics will "require considerable investment" by both vendors and telcos, particularly in interoperability and data integration.
However, despite their sophisticated databases, advanced analytics and visualisation tools, vendors "still struggle" to address the telco challenge of integrating IT and network data.
Shagun Bali, an analyst at Ovum, said: "Just a handful of vendors have created truly pre-built departmental models, others believe that each telco requires a certain level of customisation so they create a unique model each time."
Ovum says Oracle is the only vendor that has integrated all the required technology elements into a single solution for telcos. IBM is recognised for offering the "most sophisticated" BI and analytics portfolio, while SAS' differentiation continues to be its "lead in advanced analytics and information delivery".

As there are less than two months left until E3 2015, and Phil Spencer already started to tease us with details about their show. It all started from a reply posted by Spencer in response to a user on Twitter in which he said the following:
Means this years E3 might feel different from past E3s but I like focusing on our games.
According to this post, their show might seem different from the past ones, as it will be concentrated on their own games at first. However, he specified that there will be 3rd party deals too, but they’re focusing on the 1st party more, in order to bring new exclusive IP at E3. You should all be thrilled to hear this news and curious about what E3 will bring us this year.

A report from Grand View Research predicts continued growth in the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection market.
“The global ultraviolet disinfection equipment market size was valued at $7.13 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1% over the forecast period,” Grand View Research reports.
“Increasing demand for ultraviolet (UV) disinfection equipment in health care facilities is expected to have a positive impact on the market growth. The rising prevalence of COVID-19 cases coupled with the increasing R&D spending is expected to boost the demand for UV disinfection equipment over the forecast period. Furthermore, factors, such as disruptions across several end-use industries caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and increased concerns about germs, are expected to have a positive impact on the market growth.”
The Grand View Research report adds that, “UV air purification is a proven technology, and in many cases, the WHO and CDC have promoted the use of purification in laboratories, hospitals, operating rooms, and universities. In addition, UV air purifiers are recommended to improve air quality in both the residential and commercial sectors to remove particulate matter and dust, which is speculated to curb the spread of coronavirus. The novel coronavirus pandemic has put a few health care systems under immense pressure and stretched others beyond their capacities.”
“Now with the increasing cases of the disease, a lot of hospitals have started incorporating UV systems to disinfect the high-risk indoor setting, which, in turn, is expected to increase the product demand over the coming years. UV disinfection systems have minimum environmental impact compared to sodium hypochlorite and chlorine gas as UV is mostly affected by the electrical grid composition. This makes it a versatile technology,” the report continues. “As more and more electricity sources are becoming green, UV is expected to reduce its environmental footprint. Public health departments have recognized UV disinfection systems as an effective method of treating drinking water, reclaimed water and wastewater. This has encouraged countries across the globe in incorporating these systems as they are safe and do not require any harmful chemicals to protect water resources and achieve sustainability goals.”
Future Market Insights (FMI) also predicts market growth.
As per FMI, sales represent nearly 75 percent of disinfection equipment market, driven by the continuous development of the disinfection technologies. Factors such as increasing need of UV lights, UVC disinfection robots, UVC disinfection chambers, UVC portable sanitizers and other ultraviolet disinfection systems aresre expected to continue pushing sales in the forthcoming years.
A growing need for these products to disinfectant air, water and surfaces in hospital and medical centers, retail and shopping complexes, corporate offices, public transit, and to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 is anticipated to augment the growth of the market over the forecast period, FMI adds.

The Bankrate promise
At Bankrate we strive to help you make smarter financial decisions. While we adhere to strict , this post may contain references to products from our partners. Here's an explanation for .
Trended credit data, an enhancement to existing credit-scoring models, has been around for a few years. Fannie Mae began using trended credit data in 2016, allowing it to get a better understanding of borrowers’ spending patterns over a longer stretch of time. Now, Experian is getting in the game with a new product called Trended 3D.
Trended 3D provides the borrowers’ balances over the past 24 months and their credit line over the past 24 months, providing a longer view of consumer behavior than traditional reports. It aggregates that information so that it’s easy for borrowers to use.
“The ultimate goal is to help lenders make better decisions,” says Angela Granger, vice president of decision analytics at Experian.
Proponents of this data say it helps give certain borrowers access to credit who might have otherwise been denied under the older models.
How trended credit data works
When you apply for a mortgage, approval hinges partly on whether you pay your credit card bills on time. Now some lenders are looking beyond on-time payments. They’re also asking whether you pay off your credit cards every month, or if you carry balances from month to month.
What lenders want to see:
- Mortgage lenders prefer it when you pay off your credit cards every month, so that you carry a zero balance into the next month.
- Lenders are a little less enthusiastic if you carry balances every month but they’re shrinking because you’re making more than the minimum payment.
- They would rather not see you make the minimum payment every month on your credit cards, especially if the balances are growing.
Are you a ‘transactor’ or a ‘revolver’?
Lenders have a term for consumers who pay off their credit card balances every month: “transactors.” Consumers who carry balances month to month are called “revolvers.” And when credit bureaus gather information on how you manage your credit card balances, the info is called “trended credit data.”
Until a few years ago, mortgage lenders didn’t use trended credit data, meaning they didn’t draw a distinction between transactors and revolvers.
Fannie Mae’s automated underwriting software considers trended credit data, looking at each loan applicant’s credit card payments for the previous 24 months. It’s important because more than 1,800 lenders use underwriting software from Fannie Mae, a government-sponsored enterprise that writes some of the rules for the nation’s mortgage lending.
When deciding whether to approve a loan and how much to charge in fees, Fannie Mae’s underwriting software considers many factors, including:
- Credit score.
- Overall credit report, including payment history, credit utilization and outstanding balances.
- Size of the down payment.
- Whether the loan is for a purchase or a refinance.
- Type of dwelling (house, duplex, condominium).
- Loan-to-value ratio.
- Debt-to-income ratios.
- Trended credit data.
Credit usage over time
Trended credit data doesn’t change the credit scores used by the mortgage industry. It’s one more piece of information that lenders use, Granger says.
“In the traditional credit report, you can see current utilization on a consumer’s credit report, so you might know that their credit utilization is 45 percent. What this trended data gives you is how they got there.” Granger says. “Were they always utilized at 45 percent? Did they used to be much lower utilized or are they ramping up in terms of utilization? Were they previously 60 percent utilized and so 45 percent is good for them? They’re actually paying down. These are important insights for lenders.”
Will it help more than hurt?
The credit bureau TransUnion says its research shows that the percentage of consumers in the highest credit tier — people eligible for the lowest mortgage rates — would increase from 12 percent to 21 percent by using trended credit data.
Consumer advocates mostly say they don’t have an opinion yet about trended credit data.
Fannie Mae says the overall percentage of loan applications that receive approval is expected to remain about the same.
It began as a sales tool
The credit bureaus started collecting and offering trended credit data as a marketing tool to help credit card issuers make targeted offers to consumers. As the credit bureau Equifax explained in a sales pitch to credit card companies: “Insight-driven marketing strategies built on actionable, trended data can impact your ability to positively connect with a customer when they have the greatest propensity to spend or respond to an offer.”
With trended credit data newly available, Fannie Mae ran an experiment in 2015. It took a set of existing mortgages and looked back, using 3.7 million credit reports with trended credit data, to see whether the information would have helped Fannie make better loan decisions. The company concluded that trended credit data was worth using.
Fannie’s software uses trended credit data for conventional loans only, meaning it doesn’t use the information when making approval recommendations for Federal Housing Administration-insured or Veterans Affairs-backed mortgages.

This is definitely one to watch. If Logitech employs their consumer knowhow to make video conferencing a more affordable option, it has the potential to turn it into a more mainstream tool. Indeed, in their press release they suggest that it is their intention to make video communication as common as voice only communication.

Pfizer needs a tax inversion deal. Without one, it can't properly compete with overseas companies, simple as that. And if AstraZeneca doesn't want to play, Pfizer is willing to look elsewhere. Even if "elsewhere" means a generics company.
Amid growing action from U.S. lawmakers to curb corporate inversions, top Senate Democrats revealed a plan to rein in the deals that would allow med tech companies to shift their domiciles abroad for tax-paying purposes.
Generics maker Mylan has been laying out billions over the last 12 months for M&A. Now, it has inked a deal for a single drug: Arixtra, an injectable blood thinner that fights clots in the legs and lungs.
In a Tuesday letter, activist investor Bill Ackman urged Allergan's directors to listen to what Valeant's putting on the table and assured them that they could still "rescue" their reputations by taking over leadership from CEO David Pyott, Reuters reports.
Tax inversion deals--buying a controlling share in a sizable company to shave a corporate tax rate--are all the rage among pharma players. But to Ken Frazier, doing a mega deal just to pull off tax inversion doesn't make sense, at least not for Merck.
A little more than two months after announcing a deal to merge with Canada's QLT in a tax-cutting move, Auxilium Pharmaceuticals rolled out a plan today to ax 30% of its staff, narrowing its R&D focus and slashing its annual costs by $75 million a year.
Forget Salix Pharmaceuticals and long-gone Shire. No. 1 on Allergan's list of defensive acquisition prospects could be Ireland's Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
Back last April when Brisbane, CA-based Hyperion agreed to pay $20 million in cash and stock for Israel's Andromeda Biotech, while promising $550 million more in milestones, company execs made much of the late-stage data already in hand for a new Type 1 diabetes drug. Today, though, Hyperion's team threw up their hands and surrendered, claiming that they had been duped by a group of Andromeda staffers and an outside biostatistics firm in Israel which had cooked the books on the data to come up with a favorable result.
PetSmart, the largest global retailer of pet healthcare products and pet supplies, is "exploring" the possibility it will put itself up for sale in the wake of its acquisition of online pet specialty retailer Pet360.com.
Many a U.S. drugmaker has pounced on an opportunity to pick up a foreign company, haul overseas and reap the tax rewards. But while rumors this summer said Illinois-based Hospira would be jumping on the tax-inversion bandwagon, its deal isn't moving quite so quickly.

Michael B. Jordan Debuts Ad For Calvin Klein Spring Campaign
Michael B. Jordan has been causing fans to swoon for a while, and that's typically when he is fully clothed. But the heartthrob is really going to cause a stir now in his ad for the new Calvin Klein spring 2023 campaign, where he's wearing nothing but his Calvins.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the campaign debuts today, and The "Creed III" actor and director can be seen splashed on Calvin Klein billboards in New and Los Angeles on Houston Street and La Cienega.
However, don't fret if you aren't close to any of those locations. Jordan and the team at Calvin Klein have also posted those images on Instagram. The caption, like Jordan's wardrobe, is sparse, and it simply states, "The debut. @michaelbjordan Calvins or nothing."
RELATED: 2023 NAACP Image Awards: Michael B. Jordan Remains Humble Even in His Biggest Moment at the 51st Annual Ceremony
Basically, a tease, as the full campaign will launch on Mar. 15.
(See more photos below)
Jordan follows in a line of other men who have stripped down for the brand, including Mahershala Ali, Justin Beiber, A$AP Rocky, and Mark Wahlberg, per Forbes.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 36-year-old was photographed by the well-known duo of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Per the brand, the visuals "reinforce his discipline and uncompromising commitment to his craft."
The ad's debut coincides with the premiere of Creed III in Los Angeles, which finds Jordan sharing the screen with Jonathan Majors. This latest installment of the Rocky franchise marks Jordan's directorial debut.

The pandemic has hit hard the tourism sector, which was experiencing fast growth in the past years. This unexpected turnaround has caught tourism companies out off guard, pushing them to find ways to survive in this new reality that we live in now.
Some of them have opted to hibernate, others have given virtual tours a shot, but in general, all had to innovate to be alive.
This ended up accelerating a slow but ongoing tech movement in the industry, especially in the tours, activities, experiences and attractions sector.
To fulfill this growing demand, tech companies have turned to tourism, and innovative solutions started to pop out in the market.
One of them was Questo, which has developed an app for self-guided walking tours. The gamified experience guides the traveler to meet the destination following an itinerary created by a local storyteller. No need to say this was a huge success.
Other companies were already innovating the sector before the pandemic. Redeam for example have worked on contactless payment solutions for tours and attractions for a few years.
According to their CEO, Melanie Meador, the demand for contactless devices has experienced a boom during the pandemic. This is a no turning back movement, once companies and users have experienced its benefits.
Another issue addressed by tech companies was overtourism and crowds. To assure social distancing, many companies have worked on apps to manage the available slots for attractions and others have created solutions to organize the visitors’ flow.
Talking about the near future, Alex Bainbridge, CEO of Autoura, is betting on autonomous trips. His company is developing a technology for autonomous vehicles that will bring tourists to live personalized experiences around the city.
His vision is that human-guided tours will be a luxury product and soon autonomous vehicles will be driving tourists to the main sights around the world.
Orioly is also contributing to innovating the tours and activities market. Our solution gives a seamless experience to the user who is booking a tour through the Tour Operator’s website.

CHICAGO — Designer Maria Pinto’s new retail store showcasing her M2057 line is expected to open in November in the city’s West Loop neighborhood.
Located at 833 West Washington Street in the meatpacking district across from Soho House, Pinto said she was drawn to the neighborhood for its mix of art galleries and eclectic neighbors. “I’m a West Looper from way back,” Pinto said.
Designed by Chicago-based interior designer Scott Heuvelhorst — who also designed her first retail store on Jefferson Street that shuttered in 2010 along with the closing of her luxury label — the 2,200-square-foot space will include offices and about 1,500 square feet devoted to retail.
The light-filled industrial-looking space features wood floors that resemble concrete, high ceilings, a gray painted interior and two all-glass walls. Pinto, a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, has resumed painting and her artwork will be displayed in the store.
“The collection is about this urban modern woman so the store has this modern vibe. It’s very minimal. Think more of an art gallery space than clothing store,” Pinto said.
Unlike a traditional retail store, Pinto will carry a limited number of apparel samples on the selling floor. This lessens the amount of real estate needed for inventory.
“People still want to touch and feel. We’re calling our stores ‘studios.’ [People will] come in and see an editorial display of the pieces of the collection. We’ll have sizes in the styles they want to try on,” said Pinto, adding that she’s tried this formula at her pop-up shop in Lincoln Park and it’s been successful. “[Customers] will buy it, but they won’t leave with it. If it’s in the style they want and the color they want, they can have that piece. Otherwise they will have to wait.”
Pinto, who rose to national acclaim as one of First Lady Michelle Obama’s favorite designers only to then face a financial squeeze during the recession, said the goal is to eventually open about eight to 10 “studios” around the country.
“Next year, it will be 25 years since I started designing. People always ask me to do my luxury pieces. I may do a tiny capsule for the anniversary year,” said Pinto, whose luxury label at one point during the momentum from Obama was carried at Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys New York and other high-end boutiques. “Right now, I think this is more interesting and relevant.”
With all pieces constructed in washable Italian nylon elastic, the M2057 line retails from $275 to $500 for dresses, $300 to $695 for jackets and for fall, there will be more constructed pieces retailing for about $500. The entire line is made in the U.S. On the heels of the store opening and to celebrate the Chicago Architecture Biennial, Pinto will design a limited-edition, six-piece collection inspired by renowned architect Jeanne Gang. Photographer Sandro Miller shot the campaign and the collection will launch online Oct. 1. Prices are still being decided.

The redesigned Nissan Murano just hit the streets, and the folks at the Huffington Post took one for a spin. Changes for the new design seemed to go over quite well during a test run in Northern California.
The styling of the 2015 Nissan Murano got a little more sculpted this time around, creating an “overall sleeker” vibe over the last generation. The Post also noticed that in addition to the new styling, the Nissan crossover grew in size just a bit, making it not too shabby for hauling. There’s “39.6 cubic feet behind the second row” and when the backseats are folded down, “69.9 cubic feet for hauling.”
When it comes to all trim levels of the new Murano, “safety is standard.” Each model includes innovative safety features such as a rearview camera and an active front head restraint. Spring for an upper trim version and you’ll get blind spot warning and moving object warning.
The Huffington Post declares that Nissan has “upped its game in many ways” this year, putting together a “sexy redesigned model” that is an “easy ride” with “better gas mileage.” We are impatiently awaiting its arrival here at 171 Nissan. Tell us what you are most anxious to see in the new 2016 Nissan Murano!

My first buy was $0.34, next buy in was $0.31, than bought more at $0.45, and more again at $0.54, sold half of my new position at $0.795, and want to wait for the FDA news before I sell anymore, and just think that there is going to be a lot of interest by traders to buy in on every manipulated trick pull back by corrupt Wall Street to steal from the clueless, and it would take bad news for it to fall below $0.50 at this point,and there is a large amount of traders in the buy zone of the high $0.50s low $0.60s, that has bounced it many times already, and if there is real positive news, there will be NO mercy for bone heads playing games and caught naked short.
Good luck with that, trading desk are making comments that it's about to have a rip roaring bounce back above $0.70, that there is a on going plan to grab as many shares as possible by tricking the clueless to sell out to them right now, and their just about done stealing shares from the dumb money.
Over time with no news it should go back to at least a buck with all of the big money realizing this stock was way over pummeled in the past year, and it's a bargain down here with potential to having 300% profit from here, those who are excited about news that's past due all know that positive FDA news could more than triple this stock over night.
Only the most clueless people would be selling at these rock bottom basement prices.

With more than a dozen retailers having issued their Christmas trading statements, it seems clear that high street trading has been healthy rather than a bonanza.
Clive Vaughan of Verdict Research said: "If there is a trend out there it is that the retailers who are appealing to the upper ends of their markets are doing well." He noted that in jewellery, Ernest Jones, Goldsmiths and Asprey were doing well. But at the lower end of the market, sales growth at Argos and H Samuel had been less impressive.
"To some effect we are still seeing the Tessa effect," Mr Vaughan said. "That benefited mainly older, more affluent people and so we are seeing good sales of upmarket cars, like Jaguars, of longer-haul holidays, and of top end furniture and home computers.
"There are a lot of people out there who are getting bonuses this year who didn't receive them last time. If there is a message here it is that the richer consumers seem to be getting richer. But for the mass of the population things are growing quite slowly."
It is a view supported by Nick Bubb, retail analyst at MeesPierson. "Consumers are still a bit scarred by the recession and the effect that had on confidence."
Of yesterday's trading statements, Kingfisher's was the most prominent with good sales increases encouraging analysts to upgrade their profits forecasts to around pounds 280m for the current year.
Kingfisher's group sales in the nine weeks to 4 January increased by 7.8 per cent on a like-for-like basis compared with last year.
Star performers were B&Q and Comet, where sales grew by 14 per cent. Woolworths also performed strongly with an 8 per cent sales lift in which toys, Christmas products and home essentials did well. Kingfisher chief executive Sir Geoff Mulcahy said Woolworths benefited from "an environment where customers were concentrating on value for money".
At Allders, like-for-like sales improved by 11.6 per cent in the 15 weeks to 11 January, one of the most impressive sales gains reported so far this year. The department store group also said the latest three weeks of its winter sale had gone well with sales up 16 per cent on last year.
The news was more mixed at Laura Ashley, the fashion and furniture retailer. It is shaking up the management at its European division after a steep decline in sales there. Though group sale rose by 3 per cent in the six weeks to 24 November, sales in Europe fell by 8 per cent.
Andrew Stevenson, who was head of retail operations in the UK and Europe, is leaving by mutual agreement. The role will now be split in two. Laura Ashley blamed difficult markets but also said its product range had not been right. Like-for-like sales in the UK were 10 per cent higher but US sales were flat.
Body Shop reported the worst retail trading statement of the day with a 2 per cent slump in like-for-like sales in the 10 weeks to 4 January. Comparable sales were lower in the UK, Europe and the US. Chairman Gordon Roddick admitted the performance had been mixed but added that the US business was improving.
Upbeat trading statements are expected later this week from Blacks Leisure and JD Sports.

ZURICH, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Geberit said positive demand from the construction industry would help it improve its full-year sales by 3 to 4 percent after the toilet and plumbing supplies maker missed forecasts during its second quarter.
The Swiss company said net profit fell 37 percent to 104.8 million Swiss francs ($108.70 million) in the three months ended June 30, missing the average analyst forecast of 119 million francs in a Reuters poll.
Sales at the Geberit, whose results are seen as an indication for the health of the building market in central Europe, fell 3.8 percent to 732 million francs, short of forecasts of 750 million francs.
Results were hit by 44 million francs in costs incurred from closing two ceramics plants in France, as well as fewer working days due to Easter falling during its second quarter.

Print advertising holding its own
A comparison of advertising trends from 2010 through the first four months of 2012 was recently published in the July/August issue of Agri Marketing. They report that comparatively (in the same periods of time); the agri industry’s print advertising is up three percent, compared to a general B2B advertising downturn of seven percent. Print appears to be strong with ag producers as a preferred medium, hence investing dollars in this area.
Below is a chart showing the advertising pages by category.
And who are the top advertisers in terms of ad spending?
The publication also reported that in 2011, the industry recorded approximately 11,500 ad pages. They believe that they’re on pace to break the 13,000 page level in 2012. Print is not going away any time soon in this industry. We will continue to see advertising tactics continue to evolve and new ways of doing things, but it is nice to see that a core advertising tactic like print, continue to hold its own.

TORONTO: This initiative is modelled on similar legislation passed last year by the European Union and other nations.
Canada will also establish “targets” for companies that manufacture or sell plastics to be responsible for their plastic waste.
Currently less than 10 percent of plastic used in Canada gets recycled.
Mr Trudeau called the issue of plastic pollution a “global challenge”.
In May, the United Nations said 180 countries reached a deal to reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in the world’s oceans, where it can harm fish, sea turtles, whales and other wildlife.
Marine animals can become entangled in larger plastics – particularly cord, nets and ropes from fishing.
While European and North American countries tend to produce a lot of plastic waste per capita, their management of that waste limits the impact of that product on the ocean compared to other regions, according to research out of the UK.
The Canadian government has yet to decide which single-use plastic products will be included on the list but it could target plastic bags, straws, cutlery, plates and stir sticks.
About 3 million tonnes of plastic waste is thrown away each year in the country.
“As parents we’re at a point when we take our kids to the beach and we have to search out a patch of sand that isn’t littered with straws, Styrofoam or bottles,” Mr Trudeau said.
“That’s a problem, one that we have to do something about.”
In October 2018, the EU voted for a complete ban on a range of single-use plastics across the union in a bid to stop pollution of the oceans.
The EU hopes it will go into effect across the bloc by 2021.
That included a ban on plastic cutlery and plates, cotton buds, straws, drink-stirrers and balloon sticks and a reduction in single-use plastic for food and drink containers like plastic cups.

As if trapped in a terrible relationship, we keep going back to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The show covers too much territory for anyone to provide a comprehensive (or comprehensible) grasp of the entire event. So instead of trying to pick out a single theme or major announcement, we are instead going to just dip our toe into some of the highlights. Maybe next year we will live stream walking around the show floor.
Here, we want to talk a little bit about what the show is becoming, or at least seems to headed.
If we had to extract one theme from this year’s show the picture above lays it out pretty clearly – a large empty space. CES had gotten so large that it covered pretty much every piece of available space in Las Vegas – the sprawling Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), and all the conference rooms/ballrooms at the adjacent Westgate Hotel, the Sands exhibition spaces, meeting spaces at Mandalay Bay and City Center, and hundreds of hotel rooms converted into meeting spaces at a dozen hotels around the city. At least that is what CES used to be in 2019. After three years of pandemic CES was much smaller this year. The organizers ‘estimate’ that 100,000 people attended, down from 182,000 in 2019. While that 2022 figure is still large, it is clear this year things were different this year.
For example, the exhibition floor was greatly reduced. The Westgate rooms pictured above used to be filled with hundreds of exhibitors from China showing off a range of electronic gadgets. In 2019, those vendors got an entire building to themselves, an annex to the LVCC. That new building was not open this year, in fact the LVCC closed off both floors of their South Building entirely. This used to be the heart of the show, but now is reportedly set to be converted into office space.
To be clear, there were still a lot of attendees – 100,000 people makes CES one of the largest shows in the world, but the aisles felt much less crowded – fewer people and a new floor plan which sacrificed conference-floor meeting rooms for wider aisles.
All of this made the show feel much more manageable and far less hectic, which is not necessarily better. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out who did not exhibit this year. At first, it was hard to pin down. The usual vendors all showed up – Microsoft, Qualcomm, HP, Razer, Sony, Samsung, LG and many other stalwarts were there. In the past, the show offered 2.9 million square feet of space, but this year the figure looks like it was down to 2.0 million. A million square feet missing means a lot of attendees did not show up.
An obvious piece of the puzzle is China – all those hundreds of factories in Shenzhen and South China did not have time to book space after China suddenly lifted quarantine restrictions a couple weeks before the show. Many of them did attend, but instead of thirty booths displaying near identical Bluetooth speakers, “smart” mirrors and phone cables, this year there was only a handful for each category.
Another major change was the shifting of conference halls. Historically, the LVCC’s North Hall was dedicated to automotive companies – which used to mean distributors of after-market car enhancements – stereos, lights and the rest. This year, the auto hall was shifted to the newly opened West Hall. The West Hall is a sparkling facility with great ventilation, but it is also much smaller than the old North Hall. And this year, most of the exhibitors there were chip and software companies competing on autonomy and digital dashboards. The after market parts vendors were pushed to the edges or left the show entirely.
But ultimately, we think the bulk of the companies who did not show up were the companies which we denizens of the Valley think of the least often. As much as many of us think of CES as a show highlighting high technology, it is really a show meant for retailers to make their electronic purchase decisions for the coming year. That is why it is held right after the holidays – everyone knows what sold well, informing their decisions on what to buy next. And so the bread and butter exhibitors for decades at CES were not Big Tech, they were instead the small vendors (i.e. largely from South China) and the many, many distributors and assorted Middlepeople of the industry. The South Hall used to be filled with booths carrying backpacks, portable speakers, movie-branded phone cases and all the other accessories. If you are not a retail buyer, you probably had no idea who those companies are, but they were once the backbone of the show, and this year their numbers were radically diminished.
To be clear, much of this reduction is likely a function of the pandemic. Next year, we expect the China vendors to be back in force. And no one we asked really seemed to know what the organizers have planned for floor space next year – with some people saying there will be a big addition to floor space next year, others saying little change from this year. (On a side note, the organizers did announce new data, pushing the show back a week, for which we are very grateful.)
That being said, as we walked the aisles of the show, with far less jostling and mad energy, we had to wonder if the show is not permanently changed. Most people we speak to agree that CES has lost much of its original purpose. It has gotten too broad, they say, noting that there are better shows for each specialized topic. More concerning would be changes in the way in which retailers make their purchasing decisions. Have Amazon and online channels become so important, that the idea of holding a physical conference in a single location no longer makes sense? We have heard this refrain for a decade and the show only grew. But the absence of that key group of distributors and small vendors brings new resonance to that refrain. And so while we were grateful for a far less frazzling experience at CES, we admit it is possible that the world may have changed, and maybe future CES will become something very different.

A few days ago hypebeast and sneakerheads all rejoiced when images of a collab between Air Jordan and Supreme surfaced. Retailers saw dollar signs and camp outs flash before their eyes and calls were immediately made trying to lock in release dates.
Unfortunately all of that was premature because Jordan Brand has now confirmed that the sneakers are in fact FAKE. TheShoeGame.com has the details:
A few days ago, images leaked of what appeared to be a Supreme x Air Jordan 1 in black and red. After reaching out to sources at Jordan Brand, we can officially confirm this collaboration is FAKE. You will not see JB releasing the Supreme x Air Jordan 1 in the images above.
In fact, graphic artist Dan Freebairn aka @Kickposters imagined what a Supreme collaboration would look like on the Air Jordan 1 and a few weeks later China stole his designs. As always, early news is speculative until we see a Nike press release with a confirmed release date.
That really is a downer because the design was dope. I could see athletes, celebs and collectors rushing to get their hands on these. Maybe Jordan Brand will see the hype this generated and try to link up with Supreme for a true collab.

Primer, the U.K. fintech that wants to help merchants consolidate their payments stack and easily support new payment methods in the future, has raised £14 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Accel, who I understand were quite proactive in persuading Primer to take the VC firm’s money.
The young company wasn’t actively fund-raising, having quietly raised £3.8 million in funding announced in May. Instead, the team was heads down building out the product and wooing potential customers by holding technical workshops and in-depth interviews over Zoom with 100 merchants — activity that didn’t go unnoticed.
Also participating in the Series A are existing investors: Balderton, SpeedInvest and Seedcamp, who were joined in the round by new backer RTP Global. Sonali De Rycker, partner at Accel, will join Primer’s board.
Founded by ex-PayPal employees – via PayPal’s acquisition of Braintree — Primer wants to offer one payments API to (hopefully) rule them all, with the explicit aim of bringing greater transparency to a merchant’s payment stack.
The thinking is that larger merchants, especially those that operate in more than one geography, have to support an array of payment methods, which brings with it significant technical overhead, a poor user experience, and lack of transparency.
Primer, now described as a “low code” platform, carries out a lot of that heavy-lifting on behalf of merchants and while remaining steadfastly payment method agnostic. By doing so, the idea is to reduce friction when adopting new payment methods as they come to market, and be able to provide better insights into things like how well each checkout option is performing.
As well as payment-service-providers (PSPs), the platform has connectors for fraud providers, chargeback services, subscription billing engines, BI tools, loyalty and rewards platforms. Both payments and non-payments services can be “seamlessly connected to the checkout experience and payments flow via workflows, enabling merchants to unify their fraud migration efforts, build sophisticated transaction routing, and solve complex flows – all with no code,” explains Primer.
Primer says the additional funding will be used for international business development and scaling its team. Billed as a remote-first company, Primer has 23 employees across six countries, and says it has already picked up traction across mid-market and large enterprise e-commerce merchants across Europe.
Comments Paul Anthony, Primer’s co-founder and head of product and engineering: “During our time at PayPal, we saw first-hand the technical burden online merchants face trying to offer the best payments experiences to their customers globally. Our low-code approach enables merchants’ payments teams to manage and expand their payments ecosystems, and maintain sophisticated payments logic with a familiar workflow UI”.
Meanwhile, the new investment brings Primer’s total funding to £17.8 million, and comes only a few weeks after the initial launch of the company’s platform.

Here’s something that Rand McNally probably never dreamed of putting into an atlas. The website MarketingPilgrim.com has drawn up a map of the United States that features the top brands in all 50 states: www.marketingpilgrim.com/2013/06/friday-fun-most-famous-brands-by-state.html.
The map provides a colorful snapshot of where some of the nation’s iconic brands originated. It’s also highly subjective and leaves open plenty of opportunities for debate.
Some selections are obvious. With more than $20 billion in revenues, Athletic apparel maker Nike is Oregon’s most famous brand. Most people would be hard pressed to name another famous Oregon-based company. You say that you’ve never heard of Portland-based Precision Castparts? Neither have I. Nevertheless, it ranks No. 387 on the Fortune 500 list of U.S. companies.
No doubt Bill Gates would furrow his brow after learning that Microsoft was ignored and Starbucks was picked as the state of Washington's top brand.
Interestingly, Wisconsin’s top brand doesn’t have a direct relationship with cheese, beer or the Green Bay Packers. It’s Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson.
It should surprise nobody that Tabasco ranks as Louisiana’s top brand. In Georgia, it’s Coca-Cola, of course.
General Motors no longer dominates the auto industry like it did through most of the 20th century. But GM left Ford and Chrysler in its dust and remains Michigan’s most famous brand.
The site’s selection of Montana’s top brand may surprise you. Personally, I would have picked Billings-based Kampgrounds of America Inc. Last year KOA celebrated 50 years in business as the nation’s leader in camping, with more than 450 franchisee-owned campgrounds and another two dozen company-owned properties.
The KOA brand is so ingrained in American culture that it appears frequently in crossword puzzles, with clues such as: “Where RVs gather.” Jim Rogers, KOA’s chief executive, boosted the company’s national exposure when he was featured recently on the CBS show “Undercover Boss.”
Instead, MarketingPilgrim picked Dillon-based Great Harvest Bread Co. Like KOA, Great Harvest is a Montana-born company with a compelling history that has relied on franchising for growth. Founded in the 1970s by Pete and Laura Wakeman, Great Harvest has expanded to more than 200 Great Harvest bakeries scattered throughout the nation.
In 2001 the Wakemans sold the business to chairman Nido Qubein, president Mike Ferretti and a group of investors.
Other Montana companies have done a good job of building their brands and deserve mention, even though there's space for only one company on the map. Bozeman-based Simms Flyfishing developed neoprene waders and is renowned by fishermen from throughout the world. Wheat Montana of Three Forks has developed a solid following because of its Montana-grown flour and baked goods. Likewise, a number of Montana gun manufacturers have a solid following in that industry.
No doubt, there are dozens of Montana companies that deserve recognition for building their brand. If you have any suggestions, feel free to drop me a line at email@example.com.

Copyright Authority Takes Aim at Exclusive Licenses for Music
China’s copyright authority has told major music companies to stop selling exclusive licenses to online music services, as it seeks to end licensing-fee hikes and frequent legal disputes between music streaming platforms.
The National Copyright Administration (NCA) met this week with representatives from 20 music companies, including heavyweights like Universal Music Group and the China Record Corp., according to a statement on the NCA’s official WeChat account.
The NCA, part of China’s State Administration of Press, Publications, Radio, Film and Television, asked music companies to promote the “widespread dissemination” of music and the “healthy development of the industry.”
Music companies should avoid giving streaming platforms exclusive rights to songs from their libraries, and should not allow price gouging and bidding wars between platforms, the NCA said.
Earlier this week, copyright authorities delivered a similar warning when they met with representatives from four of China’s largest music-streaming platforms. Tencent Music and Entertainment Group, Ali Music Group, NetEase Inc. and Baidu Inc. were told to avoid buying exclusive rights to music and bidding up prices.
That same day, Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. announced a landmark music-sharing deal that will allow users of both companies’ platforms to access songs previously held exclusively by only one company.
The NCA’s warnings come after years of vicious competition and copyright disputes between online music streaming services. In August, Tencent Music and NetEase sued each other for the second time in the two years over alleged copyright infringement after China banned unlicensed music streaming. In 2015, KuGou (now owned by Tencent) and Alibaba were also involved in a legal back-and-forth over music rights.
At the same time, music licensing fees have skyrocketed, with music licensing revenue in China’s new media sector increasing 204% in 2015 alone, according to figures from the Communication University of China.
But in the same year, the average person in China paid the equivalent of a total of only 10 U.S. cents for music, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. Music streaming platforms offer most of their services for free, and are now trying to find ways to recoup hefty licensing fees. Tencent Music, owner of China’s three largest online music platforms, is planning a $10 billion initial public offering.

Unveiling Reliance Jio 4G Services, Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries urged incumbent telcos in India to compete on fair grounds and enable seamless interconnection for Jio customers.
Ambani also informed that Jio customers have suffered 5 Crore call failures in the last one week due to the lack of interconnection points. Points of Interconnect or Interconnection points are the ‘joints’ between two telecom networks through which data / voice is passed along when a customer from one network calls another on a different network.
Usually, the handshake happens seamlessly, giving a good experience to customers. in the case of Reliance Jio, this is delivering a good customer experience as calls being made to other networks are not going through properly.
Ambani mentioned that blocking of interconnection points by rival operators is delivering a bad customer experience for its customers. “This gives our customers the impression that voice is not working in our network,” he said.
Mukesh Ambani went on to say that competition is good, and leads to innovation, but this must be done in a fair manner. He called on his rivals to compete in the market place in a fair manner.
“The incumbents have significant advantages over new entrants. The onus is on the incumbent operators not to misuse their market access by creating hurdles in providing interconnect points,” he added.
Airtel, COAI Welcome Reliance Jio
Welcoming Reliance Jio launch of its 4G services, in a statement, Bharti Airtel said, “We welcome Reliance Jio’s entry to the digital world and wish them the very best. We also welcome Jio’s call to leading operators to work together. As a responsible operator we will fulfill all our regulatory obligations as we have always done. Over the last 20 years, Airtel has been contributing towards building a digitally enabled India and remains fully committed to and take leadership in supporting the Government’s Digital India vision. We will continue to innovate and deliver best-in-class products and services to our customers.”
Speaking on the announcement of Reliance Jio Services, Rajan S Mathews, Director General, COAI, said, “Reliance Jio, is a valued member of the COAI, we wish to congratulate them on the announcement of the launch of their services. As a valuable member of the association we welcome them with great warmth and applaud the bold vision of Mr. Mukesh Ambani & the innovation he proposes to bring to the industry. As a thought leader and the voice of the telecom sector COAI will continue to advocate fair competitive practices with an enabling policy and regulatory environment which translates into a win-win for the industry and consumer. A stable, predictable, long-term and orderly growth of the industry is essential for a fully connected and digitally empowered India.”
Impact on Upcoming Spectrum Auction
While it is great to see Reliance Jio lunching its 4G services in a price sensitive market – at a possibly lowest price point in the world.
This development it is likely to put other operators pricing in a stressful position and prompt them to go for reductions in data tariffs in order to remain competitive. This can have an impact on the upcoming spectrum auction which is likely to take place by the end of September 2016.
Speaking on this issue, Prashant Singhal, Global Telecommunication Leader, EY explained, “For a price sensitive market like India, launch of affordable data services and free voice calls is indeed a welcome step. This is expected to drive greater data adoption across segments. The telecoms sector is currently reeling under financial stress, high debt burden and slowdown in revenue growth. Further decline in data tariffs may impact operators’ profitability and sustainability. Telcos form the backbone of ‘Digital India’ and they need to make higher investments in data network. Any market erosion, at this stage, may impact the outcome of the upcoming INR800 billion spectrum auction critical for the Digital India vision.”

ROME – Volvo is thinking about electric and definitively cutting diesel: intending to sell only battery-powered cars from 2030, the Gothenburg company, acquired in 2010 by the Chinese Geely group, announced in recent days, during Climate Week in New York, which from next year will no longer produce any models with diesel engines which are currently represented by diesel hybrids.
The decision was motivated by Volvo CEO Jim Rowan as an obligatory step in the growing green evolution of the brand which has already led the Swedish company to finish the development of new combustion engines in 2022.
“Electric powertrains are our future and are superior to combustion engines,” says Rowan. “They are fundamental in our response to climate change, they generate less noise, less vibration, zero tailpipe emissions and require lower maintenance costs. We are completely focused on creating a broad portfolio of premium electric vehicles, which represent everything that customers expect they expect from us.”
Trends in the market, the manager always explains, have in fact changed quickly. “Only four years ago, diesel engines were the bread and butter of Europe for Volvo, but not only. They equipped the majority of our cars registered within the continent, while electrified models were timidly starting to make their way. This trend is however, it is slowly reversed due to the change in demand, also conditioned by increasingly strict emissions regulations. With the result that now the majority of our sales in Europe are made up of electrified cars, with a fully electric or plug-in hybrid powertrain. in, and there will be no going back.”
