Attention, WordPress bloggers: Your ship may have just come in.

According to Automattic, the company that owns WordPress, there are more than 63 million WordPress sites in the world, and about half of those are actually hosted by WordPress itself. But for such a large number of bloggers (15 percent of all websites on the Internet, says Automattic), the actual returns have amounted to little more than compliments and publicity.

However, WordPress has just taken a big step toward changing that by partnering with Federated Media Publishing to offer ads to millions of WordPress blog users. The deal was announced at the Web 2.0 Summit and will allow all WordPress blog users – no matter the size of their audience – to participate in Federated Media’s advertising network.

Although bloggers will not have the ability to choose which individual ads will be displayed on their site, they will have the choice of ad themes.

“FM is the perfect partner for us to offer opt-in, premium advertising to WordPress users for the first time ever,” says Toni Schneider, CEO of Automattic. “FM has years of experience in bringing together leading brands and top bloggers and will now bring that experience to our network of tens of millions of bloggers and hundreds of millions of readers.”

The ad options will be available to WordPress bloggers in the first quarter of 2012.

Great Industry Delivery

In telecommunications, the term Service Delivery Platform (SDP) usually refers to a set of components that provide a services delivery architecture (such as service creation, session control and protocols) for a type of service. There is no standard definition of SDP in the industry although the TM Forum (TMF) is working on defining specifications in this area, but different players define its components, breadth and depth in slightly different ways.
SDPs often require integration of telecom and IT capabilities and the creation of services that cross technology and network boundaries. SDPs available today tend to be optimized for the delivery of a service in a given technological or network domain (e.g. web, IMS, IPTV, Mobile TV, etc.). They typically provide environments for service control, creation, and orchestration and execution, as well as abstractions for media control, presence/location, integration, and other low-level communications capabilities. SDPs are applicable to both consumer and business applications.
The business objective of implementing the SDP is to enable rapid development and deployment of new converged multimedia services, from basic POTS phone services to complex audio/video conferencing for multiplayer games (MPGs).
The emergence of Application Stores, to create, host and deliver applications for devices such as Apple’s iPhone and Google Android smartphones, has focused on SDPs as a means for Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to generate revenue from data.[1] Using the SDP to expose their network assets to both the internal and external development communities, including web 2.0 developers, CSPs can manage the lifecycles of thousands of applications and their developers.[2][3]
Telecommunications companies like Telcordia Technologies, Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel, Avaya, Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent have provided communications integration interfaces and infrastructure since the early to mid 1990s. The cost-saving success of IP-based VoIP systems as replacements for proprietary private branch exchange (PBX) systems and desktop phones has prompted a shift in industry focus from proprietary systems to open, standard technologies.
This change to open environments has drawn software focused telecommunication companies like Teligent Telecom and HP – Communication & Media Solutions to this segment[4] and has also given systems integrators such as Tieto, Accenture, IBM, TCS, HP, Alcatel-Lucent, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Wipro and CGI the opportunity to offer integration services. In addition, new consortia of telecommunications software product companies are also emerging that offer pre-integrated software products to create SDPs based on key product elements, such as convergent billing and content/partner relationship management.
Since SDPs are capable of crossing technology boundaries, a wide range of blended applications become possible, for example:
Users can see incoming phone calls (Wireline or Wireless), IM buddies (PC) or the locations of friends (GPS Enabled Device) on their television screen
Users can order VoD (Video On Demand) services from their mobile phones or watch streaming video that they have ordered as a video package for both home and mobile phone
Airline customers receive a text message from an automated system regarding a flight cancellation, and can then opt to use a voice or interactive self-service interface to reschedule

Portable compressors with the patented Anti Frost Control

MOBILAIR portable compressor models with free air deliveries ranging from 2 to 5.6 m³/min aren’t liable to get cold feet: KAESER’s patented Anti-Frost Control automatically adjusts operating temperature according to ambient temperature. This not only prevents tools from freezing, but also extends air tool service life and availability.

Exceptional power and versatility – Compressed air and more…

The MOBILAIR portable compressors in this product group provide exceptional versatility. Optionally available with synchronous generators and / or compressed air treatment components, these compressors are also offered in various maximum pressure versions. This large selection of possible configurations therefore ensures that an appropriate model is available to meet the needs of virtually any application.

Efficiency and performance with SIGMA CONTROL mobile

Available for MOBILAIR compressors with free air deliveries up to 26.9 m³/min, the innovative ‘SIGMA CONTROL mobile’ compressor control system is simple to use and precisely matches motor power to actual compressed air demand. This significantly enhances both compressed air availability and fuel efficiency.

Independent, compact compressed air supply system – MOBILAIR M 57 Utility

The versatile ‘M 57 Utility’ requires minimal installation space and is designed, as standard, for operation in ambient temperatures from -10 to +50 ℃. The wide range of available tools and accessories, such as tool lubricators and compressed air after-coolers, means that the system can be precisely tailored to suit the exact demands of the working environment.
