Featured Report: Did iOS 6 Save Mobile Advertising?



Media Post Blog
Dec,10,2012
by:Scott Swanson
Before iOS 6 was released on September 19, we had a serious problem. Mobile advertising -- the prodigal son of the digital age -- was being held back. It wasn't the best it could be. Sure, millions of people were using Google Maps on their iPhone to efficiently get from Point A to Point B, but they were also downloading apps, making purchases on mobile Web sites, and researching new cars or vacation destinations. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any way to learn from all of that great mobile activity. Without an ability to process trends or determine which clicks actually led to some kind of meaningful post-click action, we were limited from taking mobile to the next level.

HTML5 research shows strong developer support

Dec,14,2012

Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) decision to "go native" for its iOS and Android apps may have made international headlines, but it doesn't seem to have had much influence on the attitudes of other developers around the use of HTML5, according to a recent survey. In September, Kendo UI, a provider of JavaScript and HTML5 tools and services, surveyed more than 4,000 developers, and 82 percent of respondents said they see HTML5 as important to their job in the next 12 months. In fact, 63 percent said they are already making apps using HTML5. Even the 6 percent who said they aren't actively using HTML5 now plan to do so in the next 1-2 years.

Dish nabs FCC approval for wireless network

Dec,12, 2012
by: Phil Golstein
The FCC voted unanimously to approve Dish Network's plans to use its MSS S-band spectrum for terrestrial use, an action Dish has been pushing for during the past year. Dish has said it plans to build out an LTE Advanced network by 2016. However, reports indicate that Dish will be required to use a portion of its spectrum at a lower power level than it had originally wanted, a position Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S) had pushed for. At the same time, the FCC also approved plans to auction the PCS H Block, which sits next to Dish's spectrum and which Sprint has indicated it wants to bid on next year to use for LTE.

Small Business Healthcare Consortium

Hello Small Business Owners,
I am writing to you because our changing health care system will have a profound effect on all of us. Now that the election is over and the Supreme Court has ruled, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is not going away. It will not be repealed and it is up to us to make sure it will work for small businesses and individuals as it was intended to do. That’s why I joined the Campaign for Better Health Care’s newly created Small Business Health Care Consortium (SBHCC).

This consortium views the needs of small businesses and their employees as a top priority. And, as a member of the Steering Committee of the SBHCC, I am personally inviting you and asking you to invite your network of small businesses to participate in a one hour, educational free webinar about the Affordable Care Act on January 15th at 11:00am CST or January 16th at 3:30pm CST. Discussions around health reform have been confusing and, sometimes, even misleading. It is the goal of this free webinar to provide factual information about the changes that are already happening and those coming in the near future. It will discuss the benefits and opportunities of the ACA and what Illinois small businesses need to do to make sure this law will benefit them.

Follow this link to register for:

January 16th: https://cc.readytalk.com/cc/s/registrations/new?cid=m2wt2unotbju

Many key components of the ACA are national in nature. For instance, small businesses currently providing health insurance to their employees could be eligible for a 35% tax credit. And, while employers with fewer than 50 full time employees are not required to provide health insurance, their employees can take advantage of the ACA’s benefits. Other components will be implemented at the State level and these decisions will either enhance small businesses or provide another hurdle. One important component is that all states must implement a health insurance exchange (marketplace). These exchanges will include a rate review process with defined, easy to understand plans to consider and review side-by-side. As small business owners we share many of the same, serious business challenges. It is my hope that you and your small business peers do want to learn more about the ACA. Let’s take this opportunity to act collectively to get control of health insurance costs and improve access to coverage.

The opportunity to create positive change is now. It is about fairness and choices for small businesses. Please register:
