If you are in a niche industry that doesn't get a lot of coverage, imagine the damage that can be done by one self-styled investment expert who either doesn't understand your market, or simply thinks a contrarian view is his ticket to notoriety.

"Information, like power, abhors a vacuum," said Anthony Burke Boylan, media relations manager of Capital Insight Partners. "When you aren't telling your story loudly, clearly and to anyone who will listen, someone else will be."

This is especially true of micro- and small-cap companies, and particularly in a troubled economy. No matter how clearly you state the health of your balance sheet and the prospects of your business, a gloom-and-doom "expert" always will attract an audience.

This is not always true online where there is no vetting and little if any accountability of new media journalists and their sources.

Companies need a media-savvy consultant -- someone with day-in, day-out experience in the rapidly changing communications landscape; someone to help them communicate consistently to their investors, analysts and followers, through every channel possible. Not only will it allow you to tell your story the right way, it will blunt the impact of any ignorant or malicious sources.

Both blades support wireline and wireless codecs such as G.711, G.726, G.723.1A, G.729A/B, AMR, EVRC, and QCELP. These media blades adhere to PICMG(R) 2.16 specifications for Ethernet-based packet switching backplane and provide IPMI support for chassis management.

Further easing the integration of these high performance products into new and existing communication systems is NexusWare(R), Performance Technologies' CGL 4.0 registered, Linux(R) OS and development environment. NexusWare provides a powerful, consistent API and allows developers deploying the new media blade products to leverage signaling and protocol stacks such as MTP2, SIP, HDLC, and ISDN as well as the required wireline and wireless codecs to bring carrier-grade media solutions to market faster and with fewer resources.

"Our media blade lineup provides crucial building blocks for delivering high density, carrier grade solutions for VoIP applications," said Steven Wigent, product manager for Performance Technologies. "More service providers are shifting their networks to IP everyday and the need to leverage existing infrastructure is going to continue to drive significant growth in the VoIP gateway market. Our new media blades give OEM providers the tools to meet this demand."

The Company's future operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties and could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and may be affected by various trends and factors which are beyond the Company's control.

More so when the interim attorney general, Aiyaz Saiyad Khaiyum addressed the council yesterday and assured us that media legislation was not envisaged, said Bob Pratt, secretary of the Fiji Media Council.

All existing laws pertaining to the Media vis--vis the Constitution and the Public Order Act, and the Media Code of Ethics and professional standards will be incorporated into a separate Media Promulgation, said a cabinet statement.

The information portfolio, which comes under the responsibility of the interim prime minister, submitted the proposed media legislation to cabinet today.

Under the proposed law, an independent tribunal will be established to hear appeals on complaints lodged with the Media Council.

The Tribunal is to be headed by an independent judge who shall be appointed by the Judicial Services Commission.

It is envisaged that the independent Tribunal will also have the ability to impose fines on companies, editors and publishers should they be found to be in breach of the provisions of the proposed promulgation.

The Tribunal will also have the ability to award compensation to aggrieved parties, the statement said.

Interim PM, Commodore Frank Bainimarama assured the Media Council and other stakeholders will be consulted in the formulation of the proposed media law.

Commodore Bainimarama said his government was conscious of the publics right to accurate and factual information, thus the new legislation.

Once formulated, the Promulgation will be brought to Cabinet for approval.
