World Cup to boost wi-fi range.

AUCKLAND WILL bolster its ``patchy'' wi-fi service for the Rugby World Cup _ but users will have to pay for the service.

Auckland Council is tendering to expand its public wireless internet network. The charges are expected to range from $3, for an hour or 60 megabytes, to $30 for a week or 1.2 gigabytes.

This comes as Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown announces Wellington City will provide a free CBD wi-fi service in time for the cup, and Dunedin and Hamilton councils also promise some free wi-fi.

The Auckland city wi-fi network covers parts of Aotea Square, Parnell, Viaduct Harbour, Ponsonby, Newmarket and Remuera.

Auckland Council's economic development manager Harvey Brookes said he hoped to expand it to key locations like Eden Park, North Harbour Stadium, train stations and taxi ranks.

GETIT Infoservices Sells 50% Stake to Malaysian Investor, Astro.

India, Aug. 10 -- Malaysia based investor, Astro has acquired 50% stake in GETIT Infoservices for around Rs 100 crore.

Getit raised $4mn from Helion Ventures in 2009 (10% equity for Rs. 20 Crores) and surprisingly, even after a year the valuation of the company remained the same (as per this news item, Astro acquired 50% stake for Rs. 100 crores.).

When Helion invested in Getit, the idea was to expand across different access points (web/mobile), though after a year - it's quite clear that their Internet strategy (if there was one) seems to not go anywhere.

The site traffic isn't even recorded by Comscore and even for basic queries, they don't feature in the top page. Maybe the old school thought process inhibited the growth, otherwise how would you explain a company with such a strong FoS (Feet on Street) presence stagnating in valuation?

Online registry is broadening autism research.(Neuropsychiatric Medicine)(Interactive Autism Network)

Since its launch earlier this year, the first online autism registry in the United States has garnered a diverse group of participants and a treasured commodity.

Among the more than 14,000 registrants to the Interactive Autism Network (IAN), there are six sets of triplets, 44 sets of identical twins, and 162 sets of fraternal twins.

"Twins are a cherished resource for understanding autism because they help you get at the issue of environmental versus genetic factors," Dr. Paul Law, director of the network, said in an interview. "If identical twins aren't the same, then presumably there is some environmental factor that is determining that difference."

Preliminary data show that the concordance rate of autism among identical twins registered with IAN is about 80%-85%, which falls within the range identified in previous autism twin studies. Concordance rates are in the upper 20% range for fraternal twins. Typically, concordance has been reported around 10% for fraternal twins, prompting the IAN staff to invite experts to look at why this may be, Dr. Law said. The registry was launched in April.

Another statistic of interest to researchers is the growing number of families IAN is attracting who are new to autism research. Among the 250 families that participated as pilot registrants, 80% had never participated in any autism research.

That number has risen to 86% among current registrants, and is expected to reach 90% as news of the project reaches more affected families.

The ability to reach new participants is a result in part of the time and travel constraints that are overcome by Internet participation. Families have registered from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as such exotic locations as Guam, American Samoa, the Marshall Islands, and Palau.

But the success also speaks to the often underestimated desire of families of children with autism spectrum disorders to be part of the solution, Dr. Law said.

What also has become evident in the short history of IAN is the need to register adults with autism spectrum disorders. Registration is now limited to infants and children aged 18 years and younger, as a result of logistical constraints such as competency, guardianship, and the reliability of self-reported data. The IAN staff, based at Baltimore's Kennedy Krieger Institute, is now working with experts in adult autism to overcome these obstacles.

"It's critical, because the one thing the mother wants to know when they come to me as a provider and the baby is 18 months old is what that child is going to look like at 22 or 24 years of age, and we have few information sources to answer that," Dr. Law said.

Swissotel Chicago Announces Expansion Plan.

CHICAGO, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Renowned for its architecture and location, the AAA Four-Diamond Swissotel Chicago is proud to announce a $47 million meeting and conference expansion plan, which will further enhance its high profile status in Chicago. "This expansion will essentially change the entire dynamic of the hotel by doubling the amount of meeting space, allowing the property to compete for extensive meeting business," stated Thomas Klein, Swissotel's vice president business development, The Americas.

The 632-room property, located at 323 East Wacker Drive, will undergo an expansion plan comprised of 50,000 square feet of meeting space including a state-of-the-art 15,000 square foot ballroom. "The additional meeting space, scheduled to open in June, 2009, in conjunction with the current meeting space will render Swissotel Chicago as the ideal meeting headquarter venue, whether it is an executive meeting for 15 or a convention for 1,500," added Klein.

Swissotel Chicago's new facilities will be designed without pillars for unobstructed viewing. Also, the meeting space will feature state-of-the-art technology including wireless internet capabilities, 400 amp service, extensive flexibility in lighting control and fiber optic cabling. The largest ballroom within the new facility, which is approximately 15,000 square feet, will accommodate up to 1,500 theater style. Additionally, the ceiling height will be in excess of 17 feet with integrated Sky Hook(TM) hang points throughout the ballroom. Moreover, the facility will headline 14,000 square feet of pre-function space.

"The expansion will create a positive financial impact for the City of Chicago with anticipation that the expanded facilities will generate additional revenues to exceed $12 million annually," commented Klein. Additionally, staffing levels will increase by adding approximately 75 new employees, as necessary to facilitate the increased business levels.

Swissotel Chicago's conference expansion will be in the Lakeshore East development, believed to be the largest parcel of downtown land under development in a major U.S. city. This $4 billion mixed-use development in the rapidly growing New East Side incorporates all the elements of a traditional city community, a lifestyle center that includes homes for up to 10,000 residents, 77,000 square feet of retail space, recreational opportunities and amenities such as a lush 6-acre public park and a planned charter elementary school. Some 40 percent of the site will remain vibrant open space.

Swissotel Chicago (http://www.swissotelchicago.com/) is a AAA Four Diamond hotel offering 632 luxuriously oversized guestrooms and suites. Designed by noted Chicago architect Harry Weese, the all-glass triangular hotel is wedged into the confluence of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.
