Finally No Wires! Guide To Using an EVDO Internet Access Card & Router for Trade Shows
In February 2006 D-Link, a well known router company, and Kyocera, a well known cell phone products manufacturer, launched a product that will revolutionize how trade show exhibitors will gain access to broadband Internet access. In most cases exhibitors didn t have many options when it came to Internet access at trade shows, in fact there was really only one. You either rented it from the show production company or went without. At some shows the daily access rate was $500 or more. Now there is an option. In the past year wireless access through cellular phone systems has increased at a staggering rate and that access is now available in a format that can be shared by multiple users. The technology is called EVDO and this is what cellular carriers Verizon Wireless and Sprint use to distribute a wireless broadband signal to its subscribers. A typical setup includes an account with one of these providers, a laptop and an access card that plugs into the PC card slot or PCMCIA Slot. This setup is fine if only one user wanted access, but what if you wanted to create a wired or wireless network? This is where the "revolution" takes place...the EVDO router. This router, available at Kyocera and at D-Link in the near future, enable you to take the access card and share it via a wired or wireless access. Similar technologies existed before this router came out, but they weren t billed as affordable options. The Kyocera EVDO Router has a street price of $250 - $300. These are the items you will need in order to use this technology. Internet Access Account - $60-$100 per month* - Verizon Wireless or Sprint EVDO PC Card - $50-$200** EVDO Router - $250-$300*** Total - $1740-$2900 - based on 24 Months of Service *see service provider s websites for details and offers. **see service provider s websites for details and offers. ***see hardware provider s websites for details and offers. Currently, most service providers require you to sign a 24 month contract for both a phone and Internet access to get their lowest rate so please check to see if service (Verizon Coverage, Sprint Coverage) and what plans are available in your area. The total cost of 24 months of service and hardware can be equal to what one company pays for access at one show so you can see the incredible value. You also have the use of a technology that enables you to have access to the Internet 24/7/365 without the need of any wires. When EVDO is coupled with state-of-the-art portable batteries then the technology can be used in ways never imagined. Imagine strapping on a framed camping backpack that has a portable battery, laptop, and an EVDO card plugged into the EVDO router. Also plugged into the router is a web-cam that has been attached to a helmet that is on your head. You now have a wireless, portable, go anywhere webcasting solution. Couple this setup with a wireless bluetooth headset that plugs into an EVDO phone (specialized phone that can be used with the router) and now you can provide interactive tours of the show floor with two-way communication that is broadcast back to a website. Other uses include POS systems and credit card authorization systems. The way I see it, EVDO will not only save thousands of exhibitors money but it has created a new level of connectivity for our industry. It will also be used to create a whole new category of trade show experiences and for me that is the most exciting part! Evan D.

8 Reasons for Choosing Foreign or Offshore Trusts
There are several concrete benefits to foreign or offshore trusts to reduce direct taxation, after increasing the tax on profits and safeguarding of assets among other benefits. Domestic asset protection will be considered in relation to the enormous advantages over foreign or offshore asset protection. As part of asset protection, there are two basic types of asset protection: Revocable Trust and irrevocable trusts. Each has its own specific filing sequences.
TAX MAKE OF RESPECT stronger OFFSHORE TRUST - Federal IDENIFICATION NUMBER
A domestic confidence may or may not apply to the federal number. Revocable trusts, there is no need to apply, but the final confidence is generally applied for federal identification. The federal identification application is filed at the federal Form W-4. If this is a foreign yrust, a person must check the box in the form " 1040 schedule B, line 7 but for the existence of the foreign bank accounts, and Form 1040 schedule B line 8 reporting build confidence with foreign Form 3520.
WHY CONSIDER Foreign or OFFSHORE TRUST
OFCs (Offshore financial centres) can be used lawfully take:
1. Lower direct taxation and by increasing the after tax profit.
2. Fast prudential regulation that reduce implicit taxation.
3. At least formalities for incorporation.
4. The availability of an adequate legal framework, preserving the integrity of the main agent relations.
5. Proximity to the major economies, or to countries attracting capital inflows.
6. Reputation of specific OFCs, and a specialist service provided.
7. The freedom from exchange controls, and
8. Means to protect the assets from the impact of judicial etc.
They also can be used for dubious purposes, such as tax evasion and money laundering, by using higher capacity less transparent for the operating environments, including a higher level of anonymity, to escape the attention of law enforcement " bodies in the home & quot; countries favor the owner funds.
The practical considering going offshore is that judicial decisions are not enforceable in offshore jurisdictions. Fraudulent conveyance rules do not apply, for example, the Cook Islands and not enforceable. US-based creditor of the judgement in his favour from the U.S. court need to start new activities in the offshore will need to place the bonds, and hire a local lawyer admitted to practice before the courts offshore jurisdiction. In doing so, the lawyer takes one of these cases, it may well be his last case. Offshore lawyers get paid upfront, because they do not take emergency cases.
WHEN DOMESTIC ASSET protection does not ENOUGH
When on land (such as domestic) asset protection is not enough, the only alternative was to go to sea. U.S. sued explosion compels people to think outside the box. Even when Alaska and Delaware have enacted special provisions to enable these states compete for offshore trust business, the requirements are too burdensome. In other words, certain assets should be living in Alaska and the trustee must be in Alaska.
These states that have enacted special provisions, saying their provisions could compete with offshore jurisdictions, but they are unfortunately mistaken. If the asset is within the jurisdiction of the U.S. judge, the assets are threatened in full spreads from the U.S. judicial system. It is true, it may be a bit more difficult to maintain, but it is certainly within the borders of the United States and thus can not compete with non-executable solutions offshore.
