<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
ADSL Report: My Central is Bir Hasan and ISP is IDM. All i
did was monitor my connection quality over the past week.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First my original connection plan is the 512k which should
become 2M Plan from IDM but didnt, yet. My current speeds are 1 Mbps downloads
and 256 Kbps upload. Latency to Most European servers is nothing more than
120ms maximum, in the United States it depends on the State if it is on the
Eastern Seaboard(better) or not(worse). Note that sometimes when testing the
inner States the latency is ~200ms.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now the headaches, outages.....packet losses and other
"BS".<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The periods which I experience bad internet quality are
usually from 2pm till 4pm and 10pm till 12:30am. During those times browsing is
a real pain when you experience packets losses AND latency back to the regular
450ms i used to experiences before the 1st of October "upgrades". On
top of all of this the download speed ONLY becomes 512 Kbps.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
In Conclusion let’s forget about the political problems and
technical problems in this whole Internet Revolution in this country, and only
focus on "What am i getting after i pay my monthly fee for the
Private/Public Owned ISP?". I can say there is a "game" in all
of this, all telecom ministers did a great job so that we can reach this point
from a war plagued country. But you cant keep this "revolution" if

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As my profile says I
live in <b>Lebanon</b> a <i>beautiful country</i> on
the <b>Mediterranean Sea</b>. If you check its history, you will
notice that it was mostly and for many years, been an occupied country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Many say that our
origins are <i>Phoenicians</i>, well that is partially true. Now after
being occupied as part of the <i>Ottoman Empire</i> for <b>400
years</b> and even during that time Lebanon wasn't an actual
country. Later being <i>mandate</i> by the <i>French </i>who
dedicated 10452 km^2, to an independent state called "greater
Lebanon"<i>.</i> The French occupation (mandate) lasted <b>26
years</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">After that we had total
stability in our country for the coming years, then Lebanon was labeled as the
Switzerland of the East, till the consecutive wars which plagued the lands
starting from 1975.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Yet we claim that we are <i>Phoenicians</i>?!
Through the <i>Ottoman Empire</i> we gained the Turkish traits,
traditions, daily life, culture, and cross breed with them etc. They taught us
what we now called <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">habel</span> </span>babel,
basically a new way to smoke various types of tobacco. Oh did I mention
that along with the Turks came the <i>Kurd</i> who became Lebanese
citizens fast enough to reach the government.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">You might think i forgot
the <i>Armenians</i>......no I didn't. Being kicked out of Turkey
actually they were butchered and raped. Again they blended in the
Lebanese community being citizens too but maintaining their own language and
having some support from <i>Europe</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Till now, you think
there is a pure Phoenician race?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

In 1844, Scottish inventor and writer David Brewster introduced the Stereoscope, a device that could take photographic pictures in 3D. It was then improved by Louis Jules Duboscq and a famous picture of Queen <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Victoria</st1:place></st1:state> was displayed at The Great Exhibition in 1851. By the Second World War, stereoscopic (3D) cameras for personal use were already fairly common.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">3D movie development was parallel to that of 3D pictures and images. Already in 1855 the Kinematoscope was invented, i.e., the Stereo Animation Camera. The first anaglyph movie was produced in 1915 and in 1922 the first public 3D movie was displayed - The Power of Love. In 1935 the first 3D color movie was produced.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">In the fifties, when TV became popular in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>, many 3D movies were produced. The first such movie was Bwana Devil from United Artists that could be seen all across the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region> in 1952. One year later, in 1953, came the 3D movie House of Wax which also featured 2D sound. Alfred Hitchcock originally made his film Dial M for Murder in 3D, but for the purpose of maximizing profits the movie was released in 2D because not all cinemas were able to display 3D films. The <st1:place w:st="on">Soviet Union</st1:place> also developed 3D films, with Robinson Crusoe being their first full-length movie in 1947.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">Subsequently, television stations started airing 3D serials based on the same technology as 3D movies.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

The most powerful weapons we own are the PlayStation brand and its future 3D capabilities as well as being the official sponsors of the FIFA world cup 2010 and delivering 3D broadcasting exclusively for the FIFA from our top-notch hardware.

But this doesn’t mean we will neglect their position in the market because we think such market is OK with 3 main consumer electronics companies driving its TV industry.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Just to note that given the news that there might be a war in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:place></st1:country-region> but this will be in certain areas only so it won’t damage or act as a direct threat to us.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

So in the following project we will discuss how we will advertise Sony’s 3DTVs to achieve proper marketing covering various strategies it will implement and as well as its weaknesses and strengths in a quiet jammed consumer electronics market.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><h2>History: </h2><span lang="EN">3D imaging dates to the beginning of photography. In 1844, Scottish inventor and writer David Brewster introduced the Stereoscope, a device that could take photographic pictures in 3D. It was then improved by Louis Jules Duboscq and a famous picture of Queen <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Victoria</st1:place></st1:state> was displayed at The Great Exhibition in 1851. By the Second World War, stereoscopic (3D) cameras for personal use were already fairly common.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN">3D movie development was parallel to that of 3D pictures and images. Already in 1855 the Kinematoscope was invented, i.e., the Stereo Animation Camera. The first anaglyph movie was produced in 1915 and in 1922 the first public 3D movie was displayed - The Power of Love. In 1935 the first 3D color movie was produced.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN">In the fifties, when TV became popular in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>, many 3D movies were produced. The first such movie was Bwana Devil from United Artists that could be seen all across the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region> in 1952. One year later, in 1953, came the 3D movie House of Wax which also featured 2D sound. Alfred Hitchcock originally made his film Dial M for Murder in 3D, but for the purpose of maximizing profits the movie was released in 2D because not all cinemas were able to display 3D films. The <st1:place w:st="on">Soviet Union</st1:place> also developed 3D films, with Robinson Crusoe being their first full-length movie in 1947.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN">Subsequently, television stations started airing 3D serials based on the same technology as 3D movies.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<h1><span lang="EN">Body:</span><span lang="EN"><o:p></o:p></span></h1><h2><span lang="EN">4P’s:</span><span lang="EN"> <o:p></o:p></span></h2><span lang="EN"> 3D-ready TV sets are those that can operate in 3D mode (in addition to regular 2D mode), in conjunction with LCD shutter glasses, where the TV tells the glasses which eye should see the image being exhibited at the moment, creating a stereoscopic image. These TV sets usually support HDMI 1.4 and a minimum (input and output) refresh rate of 120Hz; glasses may be sold separately. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN"> As of January 2010, Sony all had plans to introduce 3D capabilities (mostly in higher-end models) in TVs available sometime in 2010. 3D Blu-Ray players and DirecTV broadcasts are also expected in 2010. Sony intends to increase their 3D TV offering with plans to make 3D TV sales account for over 50% of their respective TV distribution offering by 2012. It is expected that the screens will use a mixture of technologies until there is standardizations across the industry. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">Sony has revealed pricing and shipping information for its new televisions and related accessories in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Japan</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The new sets share that sweet/ominous monolithic style of the already available NX800 series with the edge-lit LED LX900 bringing the entire 3D package. With IR emitter built in and two pairs of RealD active shutter glasses, all you'll need to add is a source to the 60-, 51-, 46- and 40-inch models, ranging in price from ¥580,000 ($6,444) to ¥290,000 ($3,222.) Even if the TDG-BR100 / TDG-BR50 3D glasses (also available as an accessory for ¥12,000 ($133) or so) aren't on your face this WiFi-connected abyss of entertainment will look back into you, using face tracking to detect if someone is sitting too close and warn them to move back, as well as dimming and eventually turning off the screen if you leave the room or simply looked away from the TV for an extended period.<br />
<br />
Want to get the full 3D effect with the LED backlit HX900 and edge-lit HX800? Expect to purchase the glasses and TMR-BR100 IR emitter (¥5,000 or $55) separately, or just live a 2D lifestyle and know the 3D is there if you ever want to upgrade.<span lang="EN"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It was at CES(Consumer Electronics Show) that Sony Corporation’s CEO and president Sir Howard Stringer unveiled the 3DTV line-up officially that will be released with the 3D broadcasted FIFA2010 using Sony’s own hardware.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:country-region> will also have these TVs in summer but at a relatively high price but with good bundles which will come with 1 or 2 3D glasses and the price in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:country-region></st1:place> is going to vary from $1500 to $8000.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><h2>Segmentation, Target Market, Differentiation and Positioning:</h2><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Generally we are going to segment our consumers based on their income and upon that the targeted market is going to range from $20000/year and up because this is still going to be considered as a luxury product. </div><div class="MsoNormal">But what will position our product in the people’s minds is that Sony is a brand and entity by itself in the worldwide market and it is known Sony is known to be not only a quantitative statement but also a qualitative one. </div><div class="MsoNormal">So basically we have fans in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:place></st1:country-region> and a lot of them anticipate our products a lot with no regret in the other hand we have the tech people who always want the best of what’s available and they know that Sony delivers that. As we all know PlayStation is a well known brand of its own in the world and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:country-region></st1:place> and with the PlayStation 3 a simple update via the internet will enable you to enjoy 3D contents whether they are games or movies directly on our 3D-ready TV sets. Sony’s 3D-ready TVs will include 3D glasses and also a proximity sensor for your children so that the wont come nearer than 2meters to the TV.</div><div class="MsoNormal">The current slogan for Sony is Make.Believe means that we believe in what we invent and this will make our consumers believe in us.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><h2>SWOT analysis: </h2><div class="MsoNormal">One of the main strengths is the name that we have in our market in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Lebanon</st1:place></st1:country-region> and covered by our PlayStation brand will surely deserve their trust.

<br />
The first to enter the real interactive entertainment was <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Sony</span></b> with its <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><b>PS2</b></span> peripheral the Eye Toy with motion sensing and other capabilities so <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>NATAL</b></span> is actually nothing that much new especially that Sony updated its Eye Toy to the PlayStation eye(On <b>PS3</b>) with more advanced 1:1 motion sensing and higher resolution and frame rate recording. But Natal will need your full movement and gestures to give output from the game while the Move is still a Nunchuk and Wiimote on <b>PS3</b> so the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;"><b>Natal</b></span><b> </b>will need you to be an athlete to play hardcore games and as we know hardcore gamers aren't usually athletes.<br />
I see Natal as a completion of <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">PlayStation Eye</span></b> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><b>Move</b></span> as a completion of the Wii. So both aren't really that much interesting but people who have any of these consoles will buy their peripherals depending on their interest in the peripherals games. But one major mover is the <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">Milo and Kate</span></b> game that needs <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>NATAL</b></span> to be played and i have seen some videos of it and it is great with lots of innovation based on a project by Lionhead studios in 2001 code named Dimtri or <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">"Emotional AI"</span></b>. Just a hint for is that Milo can know if you're sad or happy and he'll ask you why sometimes he'll ask you to draw for him. Try to be his mom and ask about his homework and he'll answer differntly anytime you ask!<br />
In conclusion i see that both will have their success in the gaming market and may attract some non-gamers to buy these consoles just like the Wii did before.<br />
