Watch Your Favourite TV Programme Anywhere
(ContentDesk) October 5, 2005 -- Good news for TV addicts. Soon they will have the possibility to watch their favourite TV programmes wherever they may be as a result of new chipsets for digital TV from a dynamic French electronics company.Founded in 2000, DiBcom designs high-performance, low power consuming chipsets - based on their patented algorithms and architectures - which enable mobile TV. This means digital television will be available for cars, laptops, PCs and portable LCD TV, and even mobile devices such as cell phones and PDAs. Indeed, last May, the company launched the DIB7700 chip which allows digital TV reception on PCs.
"DiBcom was the first company to target mobile TV receivers using broadcasting technology, and introduced the first mobile Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestial (DVB-T) receiver back in 2002," declares Yannick L?vy, CEO of DiBcom.More recently, DiBcom announced the closing of its fourth round of financing, lead by Partech International, amounting to ?24.5m.
This fourth round will allow the 70 employee company - currently with headquarters in Paris, and offices in Germany, Taiwan, China and the US - to extend its presence in Asia and into the United States."We at Partech believe broadcast TV on mobile and portable devices will shortly be a huge success across many segments of customers through many different types of devices from car TV to handset," states Jean-Marc Patouillaud, General Partner at Partech International. "We are very excited to be part of this venture and to assist DiBcom in becoming a leader in mobile digital TV."Since its establishment, DiBcom has secured ?40.7m in venture capital funding and the list of investors also includes Intel Capital, 3i and SGAM Alternative Investments. DiBcom was involved in CONFLUENT, a one year preparatory IST project, which concluded in 2003. The CONFLUENT consortium - which included Philips, Thales and T-Systems Nova ? initiated development of technologies and methods based on UMTS and DVB-T in order to produce high speed, low power consuming handheld devices for Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB). Within the framework of that project, DiBcom has proved the feasibility of mobile DVB-T receivers which were tested with success in lab and in the field.Currently, DiBcom is involved in the INSTINCT IST project, the ?9.6m successor to CONFLUENT.
The project is split into three two-year phases with the first phase concluding in December. The project consortium is expecting to showcase a set of tools for simplified content and service creation for hybrid broadcast/cellular networks as well as prototype applications in the area of e-entertainment and e-learning. INSTINCT project has been a great help for DiBcom to develop the world's first DVB-H receiver chipset which was introduced at 3GSM World Congress in Cannes early 2005.Reflecting on his company's recent successes, Yannick L?vy concludes "With our clear technology lead and financial backing, we are confident DiBcom will further extend its position in the industry."PLEASE MENTION IST RESULTS AS THE SOURCE OF THIS STORY AND, IF PUBLISHING ONLINE, PLEASE HYPERLINK TO: http://istresults.cordis.lu/Contact: Tara Morris, +32-2-2861985, tmorris at gopa-cartermill.com.

How to Find a Good Website Designer
It's a buyer's market for web developers right now. You can get a good development company to do your site very reasonably. The hard part is figuring out which are the good companies. One good way to choose a developer is to ask for a recommendation from someone whose site you admire. It doesn't have to be someone you know in real life.
Most people are flattered to get an email telling them how much you like their site and would they please give you the name of the developer. Alternatively, there are online directories that list web designers and programmers. Some of these directory sites give you the ability to request quotes from several developers who will respond to you online. If you find a developer on one of these directory sites, ask him or her for a list of sites they have done. Then call or email the webmaster or other contact person listed on some of those sites.
Ask if those clients were satisfied with the quality and timeliness of the developer's work, and...

Domain registration is inexpensive and protects your business
In an ever-changing world it is important to have some stability. To this end you should look into registering your domain name because:
? Your domain name becomes a point of association for you. Clients remember your site and services by the domain name.
? Even if you change your web host the domain name would go with you and clients will be re-directed to your web site.
? Since brand recall is the basis to good marketing a permanent domain name will become the "brand" that represents your company.
Registering a domain is cheap. It only costs between US$ 1 and US$ 3 per month. Many registrars also offer free parking for the domain names.
The registration can be done by the web host or you as an individual.
? Make a list of domain names you are using in your business and are likely to use.
? Write down the DNS IP addresses and the names of the primary and secondary servers.

Go With Quality Over Quantity And Your Business Will Prosper
In the early days of developing my home business, I went for the numbers instead of focusing on targeting prospects. It took me a while to appreciate the importance of targeting (quality) instead of just going for the big numbers (quantity). For online marketing, it helps greatly to get your website in front of people who are actually looking for the product, service, or opportunity that you are offering. This refers to the concept of marketing your sites to your target audience, rather than wasting your time, effort, and money on people who are not already interested in what you have to offer. Be wary of "massive action" techniques in this era when many ISPs feel their hottest marketing theme is the blocking of incoming emails, which they decide their customers do not want to receive (they are the self appointed "information police").
Many of the sources of cheap, high volume leads supply you with leads that have absolutely no interest in your particular business (or product...
