XFMedia (Nasdaq: XFML), a leading media group in China, announced recently that it has signed an agreement to acquire a company that gives it a significant interest in four digital pay TV channels with nationwide coverage in China. Under the Agreement, XFMedia will acquire a company that has an interest in Tianjin Shidai Tianchuang Co. Ltd. ("Shidai Tianchuang"), which operates the four digital pay channels. Shidai Tianchuang intends to apply for government approval to reposition the channels to further expand their reach into China's upwardly mobile demographic. The number of households in China with digital pay TV connections grew to 27.3 million last year from 12.9 million in 2006, according to a report by Informa Telecoms and Media Group on China's media industry.

"The Value of Network and Application Visibility: Improving the Usability of Performance Data," a new benchmark report by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE:HHS), found that even though 85% of organizations increased the amount of network and application performance data collected over the last two years, only 41% of these organizations improved their ability to prevent issues with network and application performance over the same period of time. The report also reveals that Best-in-Class organizations are, on average, spending $146 per user annually on labor cost to manage network and application performance while all other organizations are spending $253 per user annually. "The research shows that 44% of organizations that increased the amount of data collected on network and application performance over the last two years experienced no improvements in their ability to prevent performance issues," comments Bojan Simic, research analyst, Aberdeen. "This poses the question: Is a basic ability to monitor and analyze network and applications associated with any operational and business benefits for end-user organizations? The answer is: Not necessarily. As complexity of managing network performance is increasing, the key for gaining benefits from achieving full visibility into network and application performance is not in the quantity of performance data collected, but in developing capabilities that would allow organizations to improve usability of this information."
