Two-thirds of the human race have a mobile phone subscription
By the end of 2010, another 400 million mobile phone subscriptions will have been signed up, according to a new report from the International Telecommunications Union, taking the global total to over 5 billion.
by Helen Leggatt
Two-thirds (67%) of human beings have a mobile phone subscription - that's a pretty impressive figure. In comparison, the Internet is accessed by around 1.7 billion, or 26% of the world's population.
Naturally, mobile phone subscription penetration rates vary among developing and developed countries. In developing countries the penetration rate reached 57%, more than double its 2005 level of 23%, while in developed countries it averages more than 100% or more than one subscription per person.
As mobile phone subscriptions have risen, fixed-line phone subscriptions have fallen because, says the report, "mobile is now on average cheaper". It's possible many people with more than one mobile phone subscription have swapped their traditional home land-lines with mobile connections.
"Even during an economic crisis, we have seen no drop in the demand for communications services," said ITU Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun Touré, "and I am confident that we will continue to see a rapid uptake in mobile cellular services in particular in 2010, with many more people using their phones

Cooper Lighting Products Recognized in Next Generation Luminaires Solid-State Lighting Design Competition
2:30p ET February 17, 2010 (Business Wire)
Cooper Lighting, a division of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE: CBE) has announced that four of its products have been recognized for excellence by the Next Generation Luminaires(TM) (NGL) Solid-State Lighting Design Competition. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, and the International Association of Lighting Designers, the second annual NGL competition was created to recognize and promote excellence in the design of energy-efficient LED commercial lighting luminaires. Cooper Lighting's four awarded products were chosen as winners in four different categories of lighting for both indoor and outdoor environments, showing diversity of the vast company offering of LED products.
The products that have been "recognized," meaning the products are recommended for specification, include Cooper Lighting's Halo Stasis LED track lighting luminaires, the Halo LED 900 recessed downlight series, the Invue LED Entri wall-mount luminaires, and the Streetworks OVH LED Cobrahead roadway luminaire.
"We are extremely honored to have our products recognized for superior design, performance and reliability," says Neil Schrimsher, President, Cooper Lighting. "We invest heavily in product development across all of our portfolio of quality brands and these awards validate our commitment to providing sustainable, energy-efficient LED solutions for our customers."
Earning praise in the accent lighting category, the Halo Stasis LED luminaire is a track-mounted accent fixture, available in two sizes (Small and Medium), three optical distributions (Spot, Narrow Flood and Flood) and two color temperatures (3000K and 4000K). Providing excellent color quality (85 CRI), the Small luminaire consumes only 8 watts with an equivalent intensity of a 50W PAR halogen lamp and the Medium fixture consumes 18 watts, providing the intensity of the 120W PAR halogen or 39W CMH lamp.
Recognized in the recessed downlighting category, the Halo LED 900 series is a new addition to the Halo LED 6" aperture high lumen downlight offering that delivers in the range of 511-945 lumens (depending on the trim and selected color temperature) yielding smooth beam distribution with excellent cutoff. Designed for new construction (with the LED housing Series H750x) or retrofit applications into compatible incandescent housings (using the Edison screw base adapter included), the Halo LED 900 series offers comparable light output and distribution of a 75W PAR30 or PAR38 halogen lamp, or a 26W compact fluorescent luminaire, while consuming less than 15 watts. In addition, the new Halo LED 900 series offers several models that achieve ENERGY STAR(R) qualification.
The Invue Entri LED was recognized in the wall-mount area lighting category. The state-of-the-art LED luminaire features architectural appeal in a compact form. Designers are offered vast versatility in function and performance through downward illumination, upward illumination or a combination of both, in addition to energy saving bi-level switching capabilities and egress solutions using LED battery packs. There is a choice of eight optical distributions and two lumen outputs. Entri's design offers effortless quick-mounting capabilities, toolless access, and sustainable design features that allow field replacement of the LightBAR(TM) and driver system.
Chosen in the street/roadway lighting fixtures category, the OVH LED area luminaire offers a choice of 15 optical patterns and four lumen outputs and is designed for area, walkway, and roadway applications. The 27"L x 13"W x 7"H housing is heavy-duty, die-cast aluminum. The entire LED assembly, individual LightBAR(TM) optical modules, and the driver can be replaced in the field. No tools are required for access. Cooper also offers this product in the Lumark and Streetworks brand portfolios.
Twelve judges independently evaluated 126 products by assessing their lighted performance and appearance, construction, and photometric data with special attention focused on serviceability/replacement issues. Forty-three commercial LED products were chosen as "recognized" winners and four were honored as "best in class." The winning products were announced and awarded at a ceremony at the Strategies in Light conference in Santa Clara, California held on February 11, 2010.[/u]

Cooper Lighting Luminaires Adorn the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games
11:06a ET February 24, 2010 (Business Wire)
Cooper Lighting, a division of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE: CBE), has announced that the company's lighting fixtures are illuminating key structures at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games that officially started on February 12, 2010 in Canada. Thousands of indoor and outdoor lighting products from eight of the company's brands are illuminating the speed skating Richmond Olympic Oval venue, the Olympic Village Vancouver and the Whistler Olympic Athletes' High Performance Centre. In addition, Cooper Lighting luminaires adorn the area's Golden Ears bridge and the public transit Canada Line's Fraser River crossing bridge, and showcases the symbolic Olympic flag located at the Vancouver City Hall. Luminaires are also located in retail outlets and other Vancouver Olympic Committee (VANOC) buildings.
"Cooper Lighting is proud to once again be a part of such a grand event," says Neil Schrimsher, President, Cooper Lighting. "As with the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, these unique projects demonstrate the breadth of Cooper Lighting's vast product portfolios and the company's ability to address a wide variety of application needs for projects of any size and scope."
Staged in Vancouver and Whistler (and neighboring areas including Richmond), British Columbia, the Cooper Lighting luminaire package includes Invue Slide and Icon decorative site/area exterior fixtures that line the streets of the Olympic Village Vancouver, the "home away from home" for the athletes. Additional exterior products include McGraw-Edison Talon outdoor site lighting fixtures illuminating the Golden Ears bridge, and the Fraiser River bridge features Fail-Safe linear fluorescent vandal resistant products providing safety for the elevated walkway.
Metalux fluorescent commercial fixtures are located in numerous buildings including the sustainable and symbolic speed skating Richmond Olympic Oval. The 355,000 sq. ft. signature facility--a literal and symbolic reflection of local culture--includes Portfolio and PDS recessed downlights throughout and unique RSA custom chandeliers located in the front entrance lobby, as well as the Metalux fixtures. Lumiere architectural outdoor accent and uplighting in-ground luminaires and Invue Vision floodlights illuminate the exterior of the beautiful building, making this venue a memorable staple in the community.
The Whistler Olympic Athletes' High Performance Centre, an epicenter built to serve as a training facility for top athletes before, during and after the Games, contain Cooper's Metalux line of commercial fluorescent fixtures, Halo and PDS recessed downlights, Lumark wall-mount floodlights and Shaper decorative wall sconces.
S&P REITERATES HOLD OPINION ON SHARES OF COOPER INDUSTRIES
(Standard & Poor's)
We are keeping our Q1 EPS estimate of $0.69, despite some negative impact from foreign exchange swings, and our full year '10 forecast of $2.83. These are in line with today's reiterated CBE guidance. Over the next several years, performance in the U.S. should lag relatively, as we see emerging markets becoming more important to the company, as those markets expand more rapidly. We see cash flow and balance sheet strength supportive of acquisitions and other potentially value-adding actions. On a blend of DCF and P/E analyses, we keep our $48 target price.
MAYBE ITS MY NEWBIE UNDERSTANDING, BUT WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD COOPER IND. PAY OUT $1.4 MILLION TO A COMPANY THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO BUY OUT FOR $XXX AND SAVE BIG BUCKS OVER THE LONG RUN?

Cooper Lighting Products Recognized in Next Generation Luminaires Solid-State Lighting Design Competition
2:30p ET February 17, 2010 (Business Wire)
Cooper Lighting, a division of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE: CBE) has announced that four of its products have been recognized for excellence by the Next Generation Luminaires(TM) (NGL) Solid-State Lighting Design Competition. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, and the International Association of Lighting Designers, the second annual NGL competition was created to recognize and promote excellence in the design of energy-efficient LED commercial lighting luminaires. Cooper Lighting's four awarded products were chosen as winners in four different categories of lighting for both indoor and outdoor environments, showing diversity of the vast company offering of LED products.
The products that have been "recognized," meaning the products are recommended for specification, include Cooper Lighting's Halo Stasis LED track lighting luminaires, the Halo LED 900 recessed downlight series, the Invue LED Entri wall-mount luminaires, and the Streetworks OVH LED Cobrahead roadway luminaire.
"We are extremely honored to have our products recognized for superior design, performance and reliability," says Neil Schrimsher, President, Cooper Lighting. "We invest heavily in product development across all of our portfolio of quality brands and these awards validate our commitment to providing sustainable, energy-efficient LED solutions for our customers."
Earning praise in the accent lighting category, the Halo Stasis LED luminaire is a track-mounted accent fixture, available in two sizes (Small and Medium), three optical distributions (Spot, Narrow Flood and Flood) and two color temperatures (3000K and 4000K). Providing excellent color quality (85 CRI), the Small luminaire consumes only 8 watts with an equivalent intensity of a 50W PAR halogen lamp and the Medium fixture consumes 18 watts, providing the intensity of the 120W PAR halogen or 39W CMH lamp.
Recognized in the recessed downlighting category, the Halo LED 900 series is a new addition to the Halo LED 6" aperture high lumen downlight offering that delivers in the range of 511-945 lumens (depending on the trim and selected color temperature) yielding smooth beam distribution with excellent cutoff. Designed for new construction (with the LED housing Series H750x) or retrofit applications into compatible incandescent housings (using the Edison screw base adapter included), the Halo LED 900 series offers comparable light output and distribution of a 75W PAR30 or PAR38 halogen lamp, or a 26W compact fluorescent luminaire, while consuming less than 15 watts. In addition, the new Halo LED 900 series offers several models that achieve ENERGY STAR(R) qualification.
The Invue Entri LED was recognized in the wall-mount area lighting category. The state-of-the-art LED luminaire features architectural appeal in a compact form. Designers are offered vast versatility in function and performance through downward illumination, upward illumination or a combination of both, in addition to energy saving bi-level switching capabilities and egress solutions using LED battery packs. There is a choice of eight optical distributions and two lumen outputs. Entri's design offers effortless quick-mounting capabilities, toolless access, and sustainable design features that allow field replacement of the LightBAR(TM) and driver system.
Chosen in the street/roadway lighting fixtures category, the OVH LED area luminaire offers a choice of 15 optical patterns and four lumen outputs and is designed for area, walkway, and roadway applications. The 27"L x 13"W x 7"H housing is heavy-duty, die-cast aluminum. The entire LED assembly, individual LightBAR(TM) optical modules, and the driver can be replaced in the field. No tools are required for access. Cooper also offers this product in the Lumark and Streetworks brand portfolios.
Twelve judges independently evaluated 126 products by assessing their lighted performance and appearance, construction, and photometric data with special attention focused on serviceability/replacement issues. Forty-three commercial LED products were chosen as "recognized" winners and four were honored as "best in class." The winning products were announced and awarded at a ceremony at the Strategies in Light conference in Santa Clara, California held on February 11, 2010.
