According to a recent research by Internet Marketing Services, the thousands of Smartphone fanatics in Canada may not see the launch of Nokia N9 Canada very soon. The report suggests that Nokia’s reluctance to introduce the phone in Canada is a part of their strategy to promote their first ever Windows Phone 7 in Canada.

(PRWEB) February 24, 2012

Internet Marketing Services has recently reported that the long awaited launch of Nokia N9 Canada may take much longer than anticipated earlier. Internet Marketing Services is a well known market research company based out of Ontario. They provide updated information on all popular products in the market. It may be recalled that the N9 model from Nokia is one of the most popular phones of our time, and there has been plenty of speculations in the Canadian telecommunication market about its probable release date. The research has revealed that the non availability of the phone is a well thought strategy from Nokia to promote their first Windows Phone 7 device in the country.

The findings of the research are not too encouraging for people who have been waiting for months for the release of Nokia N9 Canada. During the launch announcement of Nokia N9, major Smartphone markets like US, Canada, Belgium, Norway, and Netherlands were kept out of the list. Incidentally, these are the markets that Nokia preferred for the launch of their WP 7 device. Internet Marketing Services suggests that Nokia wanted to market the Windows Phone in the mature markets, in these countries that have a high demand for iPhones and Android devices. The company may have assessed that a Windows Phone has much better chances of success than N9 in these markets.    

Many Smartphone enthusiasts in Canada are still waiting eagerly for the arrival of Nokia N9 Canada. This amazing Smartphone has been extremely successful in all countries where it was launched. The Mee Go operating system of the phone has already been updated twice by the company in order to enhance customer experience. N9 is also well known for its excellent user interface.

Static Media Announces Today that the Company has Formally Changed its Name to Local Bump

MIAMI (CBS4) – Social media is the new way companies are getting buzz on their products.

Businesses are bringing together social media users for impromptu parties as a marketing tactic.

The lesson is not just about makeup. It may be a MAC makeup master class, but the students may be the ones doing the teaching.

“I love communicating and sharing information. It is just a way to connect with other people,” said one party attendee.

About a dozen women came to Bloomingdales in Aventura to spread the word about MAC makeup through constant updates on their social media outlets.

“People think you have to dedicate a lot of time to tweeting, but when you are used to it, it becomes second nature after a while,” said one woman at the event.

At the head of this class is Social Media Expert Jewel Figueras who selected each of these powerful women.

“It has been said that most consumers would like a stamp of approval from a friend and someone they trust,” said Figueras to CBS4’s Jorge Estevez.

“We are sharing it with millions of people not just thousands. We are tweeting and we all have a large follow base,” said one woman.

All that influence is nothing to brush off during times where every sale counts.

“We really are able to reach so many different outlets it is efficient and instantaneous,” said Eileen Alkabes, who works in the marketing department at Bloomingdale’s.

So will it work? The ladies’ tweets were seen by 250,000 people before the event and after that number is expected to double.

Barney Rosset paid $3,000 for Grove Press in 1951. Then he used the company to help tear down American obscenity laws of the 1950s and '60s.

Jim Cooper/AP

Barney Rosset paid $3,000 for Grove Press in 1951. Then he used the company to help tear down American obscenity laws of the 1950s and '60s.

This interview was originally broadcast on Apr. 9, 1991.

Publisher Barney Rosset, who championed the works of beat poets and defied censors, died Tuesday. He was 89.

Rosset's Grove Press published some of drama's most famous names — including Beckett and Anton Chekhov — and was known for printing books that other publishers wouldn't touch, from uncensored versions of Lady Chatterley's Lover and Tropic of Cancer to a highly profitable line of Victorian spanking porn.

To publish them, Rosset became a crusader against American censorship laws, challenging Postal Service confiscations and fighting obscenity charges all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. His landmark legal cases opened doors for other publishers when he won.

In 1991, Rosset joined Terry Gross for a wide-ranging discussion about his years in the publishing business.

"When I started publishing, I most definitely would have liked to have published Hemingway and Faulkner and Fitzgerald," he said, "but they were already published."

Barney Rosset: A Crusader Against Censorship Laws

AMERICANS pride themselves on a sense of fairness. When one side of a controversy gets to articulate a point of view to the public and the other side doesn't because of lack of resources or access to media, we conclude that the "marketplace of ideas" has broken down. On the other hand, we also believe that government should not intervene to control public debate over the issues of the day. This is particularly critical in the realm of elections, both local and national.

This past August, the "Fairness Doctrine" was expunged from the Federal Register. From 1949 to 1987, the Fairness Doctrine required radio and television stations to offer a "range of opinion" on public matters in their broadcasts. Although no station ever lost its license for failing to comply with this regulation, broadcasters perpetually claimed that the doctrine was burdensome and restricted their First Amendment rights.

Television and radio are still the primary sources of news for most Americans, and it is vital that the broadcasters who enjoy the license of this public resource — the radio spectrum — serve the public with news coverage of the critical issues of the day. Because the spectrum is licensed on a geographic basis, more than 1,700 television and 14,000 radio stations serve the U.S. population.

These stations both compete and cooperate with cable- and satellite-television networks, which are required to retransmit local television programming to their local service areas. Most TV viewers don't know that their local ABC station pays a license fee to use the airwaves, while CNN does not, because both pure cable and old-fashioned broadcast stations appear equally on their cable or satellite TV menus.

In the changing media landscape created by the explosion of 24-hour cable networks and millions of websites since the 1990s, the Fairness Doctrine went the way of the dodo bird. With saturation coverage of presidential elections and national issues on the Internet and news networks, it became harder to argue that the public wasn't exposed to a wide range of views.

Yet, the gaping hole in the new media universe is coverage of local controversies, elections and mundane matters such as the activities of city and county governments.

According to the Pew Research Center, the number of daily newspapers declined from 1,800 to 1,600 in the two decades between 1990 and 2010. Pew further reports that this 20-year view shows a steady slide in paid circulation. Daily circulation, which stood at 62.3 million in 1990, fell to 43.4 million in 2010, a decline of 30 percent. Sunday circulation held up slightly better, declining by only 26 percent.

With fewer newspapers serving communities and broadcasters freed of responsibility to cover civic affairs, how will people keep up to speed with salient topics facing their communities? While the cost of local transit projects or waste-treatment plants is not as entertaining as the peccadilloes of presidential candidates, one could argue that local projects, funded by local tax dollars, have a more immediate impact on people's lives than a national candidate's vision for moon colonies. Although a few promising local websites have emerged to cover local matters, they reach only a small fraction of the regular radio or TV audience.

I propose that we bring back the Fairness Doctrine, specifically for local matters defined by the service areas of licensed radio and television stations. Local broadcasters, for example, should be required to devote at least five hours of programming per week to areas such as public education, city and county services and taxes. Citizens deserve to know where their tax dollars are going and how local agencies are managed. Local elections deserve more coverage than 500 word statements printed in voter guides.

While broadcasters will complain about the "unfairness" of this new Fairness Doctrine, it would be a small price to pay for coverage of local issues and elections. Public-affairs programming, as evidenced by first-rate local programs like KIRO's daily radio program, "The Newsmakers," and King 5's "Up Front," can make for engaging programming when addressing topics that impact Seattle and King County. In the age of global communication, it's time to reestablish the primacy of issues that are close to home.
