The company KHCW-TV has launched a transport service with advertisement sponsorship which will enable Houston drivers to avoid traffic jams. The service will give access to over 600 cameras that show traffic on roads and it is operated by Houston TranStar on mobile devices.
The cameras are built along speedways, paid motorways and a number of thoroughfares of the city and its suburbs. In order to start using the service, the drivers will have to download the application to their mobile devices and set up buttons for fast control and switching between images sent real-time.
Roger Bare, VP and general manager of KHCW-TV, Tribune Broadcasting Company, Houston, commented:
“This is something that isn’t dependent on having a morning news show to offer traffic to commuters. This service gives people real-time traffic information anytime, anywhere and should prove to be popular with local commuters.”
Dinah Massie Martinez, public information officer, Houston TranStar, said:
“This new service supports our mission of enhancing transportation services to taxpayers throughout the region. Drivers will be able to plan the most time and fuel-efficient route to wherever they are going before ever setting foot in their vehicles.”
The British mobile question-answer service AQA 63336 has worked on his 10-million request. Over 1.3 million people in Britain have used the service at least once in order to solve a small argument, satisfy their curiosity, get a piece of advice, ask the first question that comes into the head. Now, in order to match the growing demand, AQA is planning to increase its stuff to over 2200 employees in Britain and Ireland in 2008.
At the moment AQA answers over 17500 question a day thus helping 3000 per day on the average. The 10-million question was the following: where did the expression “pull the wool over your eyes” come from? The answer is: the wool in this context is a powdered wig. Hence the expression means the make a man temporarily blind. The expression is an Americanism that dates back to the 30s of the 19th century.
