Concise Analysis of the International Smart Energy Meter Market - Forecasts to 2016
M2 - 2 hrs ago
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w6jf9j/global_smart) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Smart Energy Meter Market - Forecasts to 2016" report to their offering. One of the main trends witnessed in the Global Smart Energy Meter market is the preference for wireless smart energy meters over wired meters. The utilities are shifting their preference from the wired meters to wireless meters. Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) technology allows utilities to build a wireless two way communication system. For many years, a majority of the utilities have obtained data through monthly manual meter checks, which have proved to be inaccurate. Hence, the advanced wireless smart energy meters are gaining in popularity as they provide consumers with real-time pricing information. According to the report, one of the main factors driving the market is the introduction of usage based tariff plans. Smart energy meters have enabled utilities to introduce usage based tariffs, which work to the consumers' advantage. The consumers can use energy depending on the peak-hour and non-peak hour usage slab. The report states that one of the main challenges is the resistance from consumers. Consumers, particularly in the US, have opposed the installation of smart energy meters due to reasons such as lack of community involvement, lack of credibility of the meters, and health concerns. The consumers have especially raised their voice against the negative impact these devices have on their health. The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. List of Abbreviations 3. Introduction 4. Market Research Methodology 5. Scope of the Report 6. Market Landscape 7. Geographical Segmentation 8. Key Leading Countries 9. Vendor Landscape 10.

One of the main trends witnessed in the Global Microgrid market is the increased R&D spending by vendors. Some of the leading vendors in this market such as GE Co., Pareto Energy Ltd., Power Analytics Corp., and Viridity Energy have increased their investment in R&D for the development of sophisticated microgrids. Further, they are partnering with suppliers and value-added resellers. The increasing focus on R&D and establishing partnership networks is helping vendors to produce energy in a cost-effective manner from microgrids. Further, the focus on R&D is helping vendors to introduce microgrids with higher and better integration ability. According to the report, one of the main factors driving the market is the increasing demand for better power quality. Microgrids help in increasing the power quality by providing reliable power supply with a drastic reduction in disturbances. Further, microgrids also ensure continuous supply of electricity without any power outages. The report states that one of the main challenges is the high cost of production and implementation. The production of energy from microgrids is a difficult and costly process as it requires innovative advanced technologies to be used and implemented. Moreover, microgrids are still not very popular among the end-users across all the segments. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. List of Abbreviations 3. Introduction 4.

Diviacchi Law Office: Affinion Faces New Class Action Alleging Consumer Fraud, This Time With The Aid Of Banks
PR Newswire - Fri Feb 07, 3:00PM CST
Affinion Group, Inc., having already paid millions of dollars in civil claims and state attorney general claims in 47 states for unfair and deceptive trade practices toward consumers, is facing yet another class action for such practices in a case filed by the Diviacchi Law Office. In this court action, it is alleged that Affinion was aided by its banking clients such as Century Bank of Massachusetts. This recently filed court action that is District of Massachusetts case #14-cv-10283 deals with alleged on-paper fraudulent practices by Affinion alleged to have been a rehearsal for its eventual deceptive internet practices that have caused so much of its litigation problems. The facts of this case against Affinion and Century Bank allege that Century Bank gave its customers what appear to be a standard signature cards for signing as part of their opening a bank account that in fact simply by signing allowed Century Bank and Affinion's tradename FSA to unilaterally without further notice or assent to bind the customer to a "PLAN 1" "membership program" in perpetuity and at undisclosed monthly electronic debit from the account. The subsequent debit of at least $4/monthly was hidden as an apparent service charge and went unnoticed for years. The court action by the Diviacchi Law Office further alleges that the membership program is a farce that provides no benefits to the consumer -- especially given that consumers do not even know that they were members of the program. Century Bank is sued individually and as a class representative of other financial institution clients of Affinion.

Google Avoids $5-Billion Fine and Anti-Trust Probe Amid Quarterly Reports: Google Inc. (NASD: GOOG), Echelon Corp. (NASDAQ: ELON), Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI)
ACCESSWIRE - Thu Feb 06, 1:11PM CST
This has been an interesting week for large and small technology companies alike with Google's regulatory machinations coming to a resolution amid quarterly reports being released by penny-stock technology companies like Echelon Corp. and Sirius XM Holdings Inc. Avoids Huge Fine Google Inc. (NASD: GOOG) has avoided a $5 billion fine, which amounts to about 10% of its global annual revenue, by agreeing to let its European competitors rank higher in its search results. Competitors of Google have complained for years that while placement in Google's search engine results is supposed to go to the top bidder with the most relevant ad, they instead go to Google's competing services. They further argue that because Google is the No.1 search engine, this is tantamount to it having a monopoly. In a tentative agreement with European Commission regulators on Feb 5, the search-engine giant agreed to stop relegating lower spots in its search results for competitor European sites such as those that book hotel rooms. Google recently made similar concessions opening up top search spots with rival online shopping networks to avoid formal anti-trust charges by the Federal Trade Commission. Under the agreement, Google admitted no wrongdoing. Schmidt Award $106 Million
