Sims Recycling Solutions Acknowledges Data Privacy Day to Raise Awareness about Data Security When Disposing of Electronics

(PRWEB UK) 24 January 2012

Sims Recycling Solutions, the global leader in electronics reuse and recycling, acknowledges and supports Data Privacy Day, which will be observed on Saturday, January 28, and in the surrounding weeks. Data Privacy Day is an international celebration that strives to promote awareness and education about privacy and best privacy practices.

The need to protect personal information is important not only when surfing the Internet or using a social network, but also when your cell phone, tablet, computer or other electronic device no longer works and you need to dispose of the item.

?Just five months after the first Apple iPad?s entered the market, Sims Recycling Solutions accepted one for recycling at a community electronics recycling collection event. This is an example of how soon after purchasing these devices individuals are replacing or upgrading their electronics,? stated Steve Skurnac, President, Sims Recycling Solutions, Americas. ?What many people might not be aware of is the amount of personal information that is stored in these electronics, including tablets, cell phones, laptops, and even printers and scanners. Not properly disposing of these devices can inadvertently expose your personal, financial or employment data and put you at risk of identity theft.?

With advancements in technology, there are now more ways than ever to collect, store, use and share personal information. Businesses need to be aware of the current state and federal regulations that they must follow to protect the privacy of customers and consumers need to know how much of their data is accessible and how they can protect themselves and their personal information.

Namecheap Joins Cheezburger, Wikipedia, reddit, and Other Online Communities for a January 18th SOPA and PIPA Blackout

admin — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 01:10:44 +0000

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 18, 2012

Namecheap, a leading international domain name registrar and web host, will be blacking out its front page on January 18th in protest of pending SOPA and PIPA legislation along with many other websites, including Cheezburger, reddit, Wikpedia and other popular online communities.

Earlier, Namecheap CEO Richard Kirkendall said, “While we at Namecheap firmly believe in intellectual property rights, SOPA is like detonating a nuclear bomb on the internet when only a surgical strike is necessary. This legislation has the potential to harm the way everyone uses the Internet and to undermine the system itself. At Namecheap, we believe having a free and open Internet is the only option that will continue the legacy of innovation and openness that stands for everything we all value in our modern society.”

To rally opposition against SOPA and PIPA legislation, Namecheap held a Move Your Domain Day initiative on December 29, 2011, and raised over $ 64,000 for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Social news site reddit.com will be turning its website black on January 18th from 8am to 8pm EST. During the same period, Namecheap’s homepage will be blacked out. Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia announced that the popular online resource would be blacked out on January 18th, and Ben Huh, founder and CEO of Cheezburger, has also committed to blacking out its websites on the same date.

?Cheezburger opposes SOPA and PIPA because we believe these bills will kill jobs and innovation,” said Huh. ?The technology industry has been one of the few bright spots of job growth in these trying times. These bills will only generate legal bills, force the government and sites to monitor and track users, and kill jobs. Congress needs to stop bowing to lobbyists and start on a new bill that will stop counterfeiters and pirates without harming the future of the Internet and our economy.?

While account management will still be accessible on Namecheap through an additional click, its homepage will be completely black with a message urging individuals to contact their senators and representatives to shelve SOPA and PIPA indefinitely.

Namecheap strongly encourages its US-based customers to contact their Representative or Senator, and its International customers to donate to organizations like the EFF, to ensure that broad opposition to this proposed legislation rings loud and clear. Along with other companies listed on SOPAstrike.com, Namecheap also encourages everyone to spread the message on January 18th using Facebook and Twitter hashtag #SOPAstrike.

“We remain confident that our customers can continue to help us fight against SOPA, PROTECT-IP, and other overbroad and ill-considered legislation,? Kirkendall said.

About Namecheap

Namecheap is a Los Angeles-based ICANN accredited domain registrar founded in 2000 by CEO Richard Kirkendall. With over 500,000 clients and millions of domain names under management, Namecheap is one of the top domain registrars in the world and also offers web hosting services.

Global Market for Mobile Handsets to Reach 2.15 Million Units in Shipments by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

admin — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:10:45 +0000

San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 13, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn ? Mobile communications sector recorded considerable growth in the year 2010 due to increase in consumption of mobile media and growth in adoption of advanced mobile communication devices across all major geographic markets. The year 2010 has been a highly eventful year for mobile communications, with the sector having seen the introduction of a wide range of latest and most advanced mobile communication devices, and increase in choice of mobile content with an ever growing list of applications, which together have brought tremendous improvement in mobile browsing experience. Advancements in mobile communication devices, especially the introduction of smartphones and rollout of high speed mobile networks such as 3G and 4G have revolutionized the mobile communications sector over the last few years.

Smartphones have changed the face of mobile communications in recent years, bringing advanced capabilities such as computing, multimedia, and Internet to mobile phones, and thereby leading the industry?s transition from pure voice communication business model to data services. Such is the popularity of smartphones that they have been the only saving grace for the industry during the financial crisis led economic recession, which forced significant drop in total number of mobile handset shipments and hurting delays in 3G/4G rollouts. Although not completely resilient to the economic recession, the mobile communications sector sustained itself due to the immense popularity of and continued growth in number of smartphones.

Proliferation of smartphones allowed mobile communications market to thrive on growth in revenue from data services, which partly offset the losses that the industry suffered in voice communications business. Mobile data services will therefore be the future business model for mobile communications sector, especially in developed markets, where mobile voice services have already reached saturation and even showing declining revenues in few countries.

Mobile broadband, which can enable faster access to these data services, undisputedly will be the focus of industry attention over the next few years. Mobile applications will be another significant area of interest for mobile communications industry, which will attract hordes of mobile voice customers to data services. Mobile applications have come a long way from mere content portal dominated by operators to booming industry with tens of thousands of independent application developers, small and medium scale content development companies, and equally huge number of online players. Mobile communications sector achieved significant milestones in the US and major European markets such as Italy, UK, Germany, Spain and France, while continuing to register rapid progress in developing markets such as China, India and Brazil.

The ever growing competition in the marketplace makes it crucial for market participants to analyze the factors that are determining subscription and consumption of mobile communication services. While network reliability, content quality and pricing models are perceived to be key market detriments for service providers, network reception, value added features, price and robustness of operating system represent key competitive factors for device manufacturers. The greater role of mobile phones on the digital platform has made it necessary for marketers to study the ways in which consumers use their mobile gadgets, and also understand the synergies between the mobile media screen and the PC-internet screen as well the differences therein.

The research report titled ?Mobile Communications: A Global Outlook? announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report offers a rudimentary overview of the industry, highlights latest trends in the mobile communications sector, and demand drivers, in addition to providing statistical insights. Regional markets briefly abstracted and covered include United States, Canada, Europe (Austria, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, the UK, and Finland), Asia-Pacific (Japan, Australia, China, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Rest of Asia-Pacific) Latin America and Rest of World. The report offers a compilation of recent mergers, acquisitions, and strategic corporate developments. Also included is an indexed, easy-to-refer, fact-finder directory listing the addresses, and contact details of companies worldwide.
