AT&T buys Israeli web-conferencing co Interwise

After a long period without news of sales of Israeli high-tech companies, a major exit was announced today. Telecommunications giant AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), through one of its subsidiaries, is buying IP network conferencing solutions company Interwise of Israel for $121 million. The acquisition, which is due to be completed by the end of the year, brings AT&T into the Israeli market for the first time. Interwise will continue to operate, as AT&T's local development center within AT&T Global Business Services, which serves the largest enterprises around the world and is led by Group President Ronald E. Spears.

AT&T says it expects to retain Interwise’s management team and its 140-strong staff as its R&D center in Israel.

George Soros ups stake in AudioCodes to 6.4%

The Voice over IP and specialy Audiocodes have great future.This is the reality. The profit warning of Audiocodes is a wrong pressure of the financial market on managing Audiocodes business. Audiocodes business is good. AudioCodes has a market cap of $290 million. It posted a net profit of $16.6 million on $147.3 million revenue in 2006. Good opportunity to identify potential acquisition for them in Europe in my opinion...

Investigative journalism online?

Mark Glaser of MediaShift says that serious, even investigative, journalism doesn’t have to die as news moves online; instead, he says, newspapers should look at what is rising - online readership and advertising revenue – and consider how to make their websites work in the new economy. Glaser calls out newsprint faithfuls who view the loss of newspaper profits and readership as doom for the news industry. First, Glaser says, newspapers need not worry about news aggregators and blogs linking to their content, instead, newspapers can advertise around that content to bring in revenue. “Charging licensing fees to bloggers for citing your story or charging people to read your stories online is not going to save newspapers from some sort of doomsday scenario,” he says. Further, newspapers should consider how to make serious online journalism work in their newsrooms. Glaser cites the Pulitzer Prize winning work of the New Orleans Times-Picayune during Hurricane Katrina, when the paper could not physically print for several days and relied on online forums and blogs to “be” the paper. The website helped guide emergency workers to stranded citizens. Glaser also takes interest in pro-am journalism websites like NewAssignment.net and TPMmuckraker that pair professional reporters and editors with readers who act as amateur researchers and tipsters. “Rather than looking at ways of trying to squeeze out more money by charging for content online or creating a consortium,” Glaser says, “journalists should start opening themselves up to new ways of newsgathering, hybrid pro-am efforts, and get readers involved.” Source: MediaShift through Ifra Executive News Service
