Ovum - Mar 12, 2015 - Google’s move on InMobi would strengthen its hand in mobile display advertising
InMobi would be a good acquisition target for Google. It would strengthen Google’s position in mobile display advertising, particularly in emerging markets, where InMobi has a strong base and where low-cost Android devices are seeing rapid take-up.
The acquisition of InMobi would remove a key competitor to Google’s own ambitions in application-based advertising, which are based on AdMob, the mobile advertising network that Google acquired in 2009. Next to Facebook, InMobi is one of the largest, most successful independent mobile advertising networks, with more than 1 billion monthly active users and more than 30,000 publishers. Moreover, the combination of AdMob and InMobi’s capabilities would help Google keep ahead of Facebook in mobile display advertising. Google still represents the biggest portion of mobile advertising revenues, but Facebook is showing remarkable gains: in 2014, 69% of Facebook’s total advertising revenues came from mobile. InMobi’s strength in emerging markets would be particularly useful in helping Google counter Facebook‘s aggressive push into such markets. Facebook is launching products and advertising propositions specifically designed to tap into emerging markets, which are now the fastest growing part of its total user base, and where many users are exclusively mobile.
PR - Mar 11, 2015 - Snoc and Nexusguard: DDoS Attacks Threatening Online World
Online businesses, application providers, government and financial services are often targeted by distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Thailand is particularly vulnerable due to a lack of specialized protection against such attacks. Secure Network Operation Center Ltd. (Snoc) and Nexusguard have created a direct security system – The first of its kind in Thailand to protect against loss due to DDoS attacks. Any organization that has been attacked will be offered a short term trial at no cost for a limited time, in effort to support the country with a safer internet.
Previously, private organizations in Thailand relied on foreign companies due to the lack of domestic providers. And though the public sector has invested in their own infrastructure, these solutions do not protect against DDoS attacks and nor are they able to keep up with new technologies. In contrast, Snoc’s solution is designed for all organizations, providing affordable solutions with guaranteed protection against 99% of attacks.

PR - Mar 5, 2015 - Singapore - Consumer Sentiment Improves Towards Singapore Property Market
PropertyGuru’s latest Property Affordability Sentiment Index results, based on a survey of almost a thousand respondents, showed that the Singapore property market had become more affordable for property buyers.
The Property Affordability Sentiment Index showed that respondents rated the Singapore property market as becoming increasingly affordable, with a score of 168 in the second half of last year - well above the base level of 100. The scores were calculated based on four factors – consumer satisfaction with the property market, property purchase intent of the respondent, perception of property price change, as well as sentiments on government efforts.
The survey revealed the top three factors to consider when buying a residential property was the size of the bedrooms, orientation of the unit, and age of the unit. The top three factors to consider for not buying a residential property was a property’s proximity to cemetery grounds, close distance to red light districts, pubs or KTVs and whether it faces a highway or major road.
