What is the software and systems integration business in TPS? Why is that not growing?
A. We provide software and server products for carriers, cable companies and website owners that allow them to provide audio and video streaming. We began moving away from that low-margin, non-scalable business in late 2007 to focus on recurring revenues, such as those from our ASP (application service provider) offerings, such as ringback tones, and video and music on demand, and from our intercarrier messaging business. In addition, as the economy slowed in the second quarter of 2008, corporations and other institutions reduced their capital spending, which reduced demand for the servers, software and systems integration work. back to top Media Software and Services Q.
