True Universal Convergence Selects ASSIA to Increase Speed and Reduce Costs.


ASSIA[R] Inc., the leading provider of high-performance Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) software tools that are revolutionizing Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) networks, announced an agreement with True Universal convergence company Limited (TUC) in Thailand to deploy the ASSIA DSL Expresse[R] solution across more than 1,200,000 lines in its home and business networks. The agreement comes after a three-month trial provided significant gains in performance for the largest ISP in Thailand.
"TUC has established itself as a lifestyle leader by offering high-quality products and services to our customers, and constantly seeking new ideas and innovations to enhance value," said Mr.Vichaow Rakphongphairoj, President. "Through a carefully conducted trial, ASSIA DSL Expresse proved it can help us triple the number of marginal lines that can be upgraded to 7Mbps. This improvement, combined with other network performance gains, makes us confident that ASSIA can help us boost speed and reduce costs so we can focus on providing the next-generation services our customers expect." ASSIA DSL Expresse was designed to enable DSL service providers to attain the levels of performance and stability required for next-generation services, such as IPTV, by leveraging existing copper infrastructure. While the ASSIA solution is already deployed by major telecommunication service providers in Europe and the Americas, this latest agreement marks the first major deployment in Asia.
"ASSIA is honored to welcome TUC as a customer and pleased that TUC's leadership recognized the value of the performance and cost benefits of ASSIA's powerful Dynamic Spectrum Management software," said Dr. John Cioffi, Chairman and CEO of ASSIA. "Thailand is one of the world's fastest growing broadband markets, and we are delighted to work with our Thai partner OGA, whose local expertise and knowledge is of vital importance in this important project. We're confident that many other service providers in the region will recognize the value ASSIA brings and take similar steps to upgrade their DSL networks."
The goal of the initial ASSIA trial at TUC was to improve speed, diagnostics, stability, and line rate prediction as well as reduce customer support calls and dispatches. ASSIA DSL Expresse was able to demonstrate notable improvements in each of these areas.

Viacom Puts HTS Network on the Block

  Viacom Inc. said yesterday that it will sell Home Team Sports, the valuable Washington regional sports cable television network, as part of the $91 billion merger of Viacom and CBS. Viacom Inc. said it will combine CBS Cable and MTV Networks as part of the deal but has no desire to own several parts of CBS Cable, including HTS; the Midwest Sports Channel, which serves Minneapolis and Milwaukee; or the advertising services firm Group W Sports Marketing. Viacom started to look for an HTS buyer even before the merger was finalized, MTV spokeswoman Carole Robinson said, adding that there are "several interested buyers," which she declined to name.
