Visa Inc.  gives statement regarding the federal reserves recommendations on the Dodd-Frank Act: “Visa has received the initial recommendations of the Federal Reserve related to the debit card regulation provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. At this time, Visa is still reviewing the specific elements of the recommendations.”  “We cannot comment in detail on the proposed regulations until we have had a chance to fully consider its proposal. It is clear, however, that the Federal Reserve has left a significant number of issues open for additional comment and deliberation in the coming months. Visa also has concerns that the Federal Reserve’s proposal includes artificial caps on debit interchange that do not realistically reflect the value of card acceptance and do not reflect the actual costs of running a secure, reliable and efficient debit network. Further, the proposed routing and exclusivity alternatives put retailer profits ahead of consumer protection, choice and convenience.”

Coca-Cola Enterprises  said it expects to achieve 2011 comparable and currency neutral earnings per diluted common share growth in a range of 10 percent to 12 percent. The company also affirmed its guidance for full-year 2010 in a range of $1.74 to $1.78, reflecting solid business performance and outlook.  In addition, the company said it has initiated a previously disclosed share repurchase plan and expects to repurchase approximately $200 million in shares by the close of the fourth quarter 2010. This action is in keeping with the company’s goal of repurchasing approximately $1 billion of its shares by the end of the first quarter 2012.  This guidance reflects performance for all territories of new CCE, a recently registered public company consisting of legacy CCE’s European bottling operations in Belgium, France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, as well as bottling operations in Norway and Sweden acquired from The Coca-Cola Company.  

Research In Motion Limited  a mobile communications company, reported record third quarter results for the three months ended November 27, 2010 (all figures in U.S. dollars and U.S. GAAP).  Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $5.49 billion, up 19% from $4.62 billion in the previous quarter and up 40% from $3.92 billion in the same quarter of last year. The revenue breakdown for the quarter was approximately 82% for devices, 15% for service, and 3% for software and other revenue. During the quarter, RIM shipped approximately 14.2 million devices.  Approximately 5.1 million net new BlackBerry® subscriber accounts were added in the quarter. At the end of the quarter, the total BlackBerry subscriber account base was over 55 million.

Dell Inc.  and Goodwill Industries International has added 100 Goodwill® donation sites to the Dell Reconnect computer recycling program, making it convenient for more than 42 million U.S. households to drop off computers and related accessories for free, responsible recycling.  The new collection sites, located in Delaware, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, are now among more than 2,200 Dell Reconnect collection sites across the United States and Canada. The new sites are expected to divert approximately 5 million pounds of e-waste from landfills each year.  “Since its inception, the Dell Reconnect program has created hundreds of green jobs for Goodwill employees who manage the recycling program,” said Jim Gibbons, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International.

AT&T*  announced the completion of a key initiative in its ongoing efforts to enhance the wireless capacity and performance of its mobile broadband network throughout Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Union, Middlesex, Somerset and Hunterdon Counties. As a result of this upgrade to more than 130 cell sites, local customers in these areas are expected to experience improved mobile broadband wireless data and voice connectivity and performance, especially during peak hours. The network enhancement adds new layers of frequency, also known as "carriers," to more efficiently manage available spectrum and increase mobile broadband capacity at local cell sites. The expansion is part of a previously announced investment to help manage ever-growing demand for mobile broadband services by allocating more network resources for AT&T's mobile broadband network.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) and American Express  announced a new comprehensive, multiyear marketing partnership that will make the leading global services company an official partner of the NBA, USA Basketball, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), and the NBA Development League (NBA D-League).  This new partnership reunites the NBA and American Express, which had a marketing partnership from 1995 to 2005.  As the Official Credit Card Partner of the NBA, American Express will provide Cardmembers with exclusive experiences and access to regular-season and playoff games, and premier NBA events such as NBA All-Star, the NBA Draft, and NBA Games – London 2011, the league’s first-ever regular-season games in Europe.
