迷你倉 內地科網巨頭競爭進入白熱化。早前阿里巴巴推出「來往」社交工具，又開拓新的手游平台，直接挑戰騰訊（700）。而騰訊上周也入股華南城，推出網絡理財產品「微信理財通」。評論認為，騰訊入股華南城可整合物流資源，為拓展其較為弱勢的電子商務打下基礎。微信理財通則是挑戰阿里巴巴的「餘額寶」，微信用戶在連接自己持有的銀行卡後，便可以在微信內透過理財通購買基金，毋須付手續費及可即時贖回，與阿里巴巴的「餘額寶」看齊，試圖挑戰阿里巴巴在互聯網金融上的地位。移動互聯網爆發以來，騰訊依靠微信幾乎橫掃天下。微信現在可以提供的各種服務令人驚嘆；商家可以透過微信公眾平台直接進行顧客服務，民眾可透過微信辦理港澳通行證簽注，也有博物館在微信平台上推出遊覽講解服務，游客游覽時只要掃描展品旁邊的二維碼，手機即可收到相關語音導覽等，印證了曾經電訊商主導的形式一去不復返。新社交網絡崛起不過，雖然中國互聯網巨頭推出的各項服務似乎理念十分超前，但實際上在日本，類似的理念早已出現。日本市場分額最大的電訊運營商NTT docomo 的i-mode 模式也可被認為是蘋果Apps Store 模式的鼻祖。在十幾年前人們依然使用翻蓋手機的時候，用手機上網查看天氣、收發郵件、網上購物等等已經成為日本人的日常生活的一部分。作為移動互聯網發展先行者的日本，可以給中國帶來怎樣的經驗？日本電訊商如何進行轉型？就此，我們訪問了觸控科技戰略總監曾航。觸控科技擁有《捕魚達人》休閒遊戲系列產品，該產品在中國擁有2 億啟動用戶，是中國在全球迄今最成功的休閒遊戲產品之一，而曾航與野村證券調研日本移動互聯網市場後，寫作了《移動的帝國》一書，出版十幾天已經要再版。移動互聯網市場中，騰訊的地位目前似乎難以動搖。未來有什麼可能會挑戰騰訊的地位呢？對此，曾航認為，未來有可能阻擋騰訊腳步的是新社交網絡崛起。在他看來，社交網絡在互聯網的投資模型中處於頂端地位，通過社交網絡發展其他各項移動互聯網服務更加便利，因此社交網絡會比其他各種平台擁有更多優勢。日本乃手機上網鼻祖曾航說，前幾年新浪微博崛起的時候就對騰訊造成很大壓力，因為人們只要通過新浪微博就可以溝通，而不一定再需要QQ（騰訊的網絡即時通訊軟件）。後來，基於移動互聯網的社交工具微信的崛起成功應對了新浪微博衝擊。因此，未來如果有一款像當年新浪微博這樣的新型社交網絡產品出現，也可能是移動互聯網競爭格局變化的時候。人們往往奉美國移動互聯網市場為行業「大哥大」，而曾航認為對於中國而言，日本是非常值得研究的對象。首先，亞洲國家移動互聯網發展潛力更甚於歐美。亞洲人對手機的依賴程度遠遠超過歐美：日本、中國等東亞國家由於人口密度很高，大部分人乘坐公共交通上班；在美國，大多數人是開車上班的。曾航說，東京90%的人乘坐地鐵和電車上下班，平均每天上下班時間70 分鐘。在這個時間段�，人們往往是用手機玩遊戲、聽音樂和上網來打發時間。其次，日本移動互聯網發展很早，日本在2001 年就已經運營了全球第一個商用3G 網絡，而中國的3G 網絡是2009 年才出現的。如今日本3G覆蓋率已經達到100%，而中國只有30%。日本發展了很多成功的移動互聯網經營模式，可以為中國提供很多經驗，例如2005 年時日本已經普及手機錢包， 「拍」手機搭地鐵對日本人而言是習以為常的。第三，手機在亞洲國家是身份的象徵。亞洲人平均一年換一次手機，而在歐美國家，2 至3 年換一次手機是很正常的現象。種種都構成了亞洲移動互聯網黃金發展的機遇，而市場、文化的相似也令日本成為中國互聯網企業值得學習的對象。在很多人看來，移動互聯網時代自然是如騰訊這樣的互聯網公司最有發展前景，至於電訊運營商則缺少想像空間。然而，從日本的經驗來看，曾航認為，運營商在很多基礎業務方面依然有難以替代的優勢。首先，運營商直接掌握用戶的網絡流量數據，從而可以對用戶行為作出精準分析，開拓周邊產業。如日本最大電訊運營商NTT docomo 就與麥當勞合作，通過數據分析為顧客量身定制優惠券，大大提高了顧客到店率。而NTT docomo等電訊運營商也早已提出了「去電訊化」的口號，不再做純粹的電訊運營商，而是向綜合企業方向發展，依託通訊業務發展周邊產品，如手機金融支付、保險、移動醫療等等。中國4G網絡有待拓展除此之外，曾航說，運營商在收費、流量業務方面有天然的便利，從而可以發展相關業務。在日本，顧客在商店買東西直接通過手機電話費就可以支付。他所在公司的熱門遊戲「捕魚達人」曾經由於內地信用卡綁定手機的用戶較少，阻礙了遊戲的營收，在與中國三大運營商進行收費合作之後，通過運營商的收費系統，用戶可以通過扣除話費來購買遊戲道具，在破除了支付渠道限制之後，去年開始合作後， 「捕魚達人」的營業額便提升了10倍。除此之外，下載某些手機網絡遊戲需要大量流量，而中國則提供下載特定遊戲免計算流量的服務。中移動（941）已推出4G，下載速度加快，加之又不需要付流量費，很多用戶就願意去中移動的遊戲平台上下載遊戲，中移動從而可以獲得更多遊戲收入分成。曾航認為，這是互聯網公司如騰訊難以擁有的優勢。不過，中國移動互聯網的基礎設施健全程度與日本相差甚遠。在中國普及3G和4G 網絡還需要一段時間。如4G 網絡鋪開，全國至少需要200 萬個基站，按照中國移動每年建設30 萬個基站的速度，至少還需要6 年時間，在很多基礎業務還沒做好的前提下，中國的運營商電訊業務依然有相當大的發展空間， 「去電訊化」的壓力沒有非常嚴重。但曾航認為，運營商們依然可以學習日本為未來做好準備。作者為香港電台E線金融網主持文字整理：吳若琳yuwailau@gmail.com劉羽葳mini storage

迷你倉【本報訊】據中通社報道，為了推動港台旅遊發展，台灣觀光協會香港辦事處主任巫宗霖連日與香港旅遊業界、航空、航運及國際郵輪業者會商，擘劃新一年的發展大計。他很有信心地預期，今年港澳旅客赴台人數仍會繼續增長，目標力爭全年突破125萬人次，再創歷史新高紀錄。巫宗霖指出，香港已是台灣第三大旅客來源地，近年港澳赴台旅客持續增長，繼2012年首破100萬人次後，去年1至11月已超過106萬人次，估計全年達到115萬人次。推結婚紀念日優惠吸客展望今年，巫宗霖更為樂觀，他預期在港台旅遊業界、航空業界及國際郵輪業者的共同努力下，港澳旅客赴台會繼續增長。郵輪旅遊方面，新年至今已有多家國際郵輪公司規劃了10多趟以香港為起始港再到台灣、韓國、日本的航程；另外，麗星郵輪更規劃了20多趟包括東南亞、香港、台灣的相關航程。近日已有旅遊業者與巫宗霖磋商，針對大陸10月1日「黃金周」研擬開辦多趟香港、台灣航程，因為這樣可以一次過解決「黃金周」瞬間引爆的對航班和住房的大量需求，旅客乘坐郵輪往來港台兩岸，不需額外的航班、也不需住宿旅店，是非常切合「黃金周」的旅遊產品。除了郵輪旅遊之外，巫宗霖指出，花蓮、台東地區的旅遊業界正推動台東包機直航香港，首先是配合台東文件倉氣球季節，將於4月至9月，籌劃8至12趟直航包機，務求創造一個市場量；未來期望進一步開闢定期航班，帶動花東地區旅遊業發展。為此，台東市政府決定大手筆提供贊助，只要是乘搭包機赴台東的旅客，只要事先登記，就可獲免費乘搭一次熱氣球。此外，台灣觀光局特別推出「情比石堅」的旅遊獎勵計劃，凡是結婚周年到台灣旅遊的港澳旅客，只要拿出證明，即便是結婚一周年紀念，也獲贈送免費婚紗照一張，以鼓勵堅定婚姻；至於結婚10周年、20周年、40周年，還會獲贈新台幣300至500元不等的金額獎勵，結婚50周年更額外獲贈一晚住宿。另外，為推動更多港澳旅客到台灣旅遊，台灣觀光局最近針對港澳多個行業、長者、學生，制訂了優惠方案。陸客春節赴台遊天天爆近來，受泰國政局動盪影響，不少大陸遊客轉赴台灣過春節，台灣海峽兩岸觀光旅遊協會（台旅會）透露，陸客自由行人數天天滿額，一股春節赴台旅遊的熱潮已經掀起。台灣2014年的旅客人數目標是900萬人次，為達成這一目標，台旅會上海辦事處正主打台灣元宵燈會深度之旅。台旅會上海辦事處組長洪志光透露，2014年春節主題之旅，團體部分已有近2000人報名參加；自由行部分由於每日申請上限3000人，自實施以來，每天受理件數均是滿額。存倉

Source: Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Calif.迷你倉將軍澳Jan. 18--RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- Randall Lewis had more than an encouraging word to share with a packed room at the Goldy S. Lewis Community Center on Friday.Unlike the dark days of the economic downturn, early years of the new decade are filled with optimism about increasing housing demand and job growth that will fuel home and apartment sales, said Lewis, the principal of the Lewis Group of Cos., a major player in development in the region."This year, I'm like a doctor in a new baby delivery room. I'm here with good news," he said. "If 2013 was a good year, we think 2014 will be a better year, and 2015 will be better than 2014."Lewis, whose company is responsible for the Victoria Gardens shopping center, the Terra Vista planned community in Rancho Cucamonga, and the Preserve planned community in Chino, in addition to a host of other developments, assured the hundreds of real estate professionals in attendance that the Inland Empire job picture has turned around."There's good growth in construction jobs, real estate jobs, there's very good growth in logistics jobs and very good growth in health care," Lewis said. "We're nowhere near where we should be, but we're going in the right direction, and I think as those people get new jobs or they get raises, they're going to be buying houses from a lot of you, so that is a very good thing."Because of demand, developers are expected to buy up more local land this year and next, Lewis said."One reason there weren't a lot of house sales in the last couple of years besides demand was because there was almost no inventory per lots," Lewis said. "Most of the developers and builders we know are investing pretty heavily in land so they can have product for later this year and in 2015. I think that's good for everybody in the room."Another trend that Lewis said real estate professionals should look for: a lot more re倉ters in the market."A lot more people are going to make the choice to say I want to rent for financial reasons, lifestyle reasons, or where I am in this stage of my career," Lewis said. "People may not be able to buy a house because of financial issues. You're going to see a lot more renters. You're going to see a lot more high density. It's something that's been going on for a while, but it's really going to continue. But what you're going to see with the high density is even more high quality (housing).During a question and answer session, an audience member asked Lewis about reinventing older shopping centers that may be obsolete in the new marketplace.Lewis pointed to what is being called transit-oriented development such as the new Paseos at Montclair apartment development just across the street from the Montclair Plaza.He called it "a great apartment community that's going to revitalize the area."He added, "I think you need to energize some of those malls with residential."Bill Ruh, a Montclair councilman who is government affairs director for the Citrus Valley Associations of Realtors, said the Paseos is the first phase of a master plan to develop high-density residential housing near the shopping center. Such transit-oriented development has been done in areas along passenger rail lines from Pasadena and eastward toward the Inland Empire's foothill communities."What people are looking for is something close to shopping," Ruh said. "You can walk to Montclair Plaza, and walk to Target. It's very close to mass transit. I think the people who are renting these units are seeing the vision. You're able to have a very urban lifestyle in a suburban setting. You've got the best of both worlds."Copyright: ___ (c)2014 the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin (Ontario, Calif.)

Source: The Seattle TimesJan.迷你倉旺角 18--In a decision affecting everyday street encounters, a federal judge Friday approved new policies aimed at curbing biased policing by Seattle officers and setting rules for how and when they stop and frisk people.The policies, effective Jan. 31, represent another major step in the court-ordered reform effort for the Seattle Police Department, setting new standards that will be felt throughout the city.Combined with a detailed new policy on use of force adopted Jan. 1, the new policies address the key remaining issues outlined in a 2012 settlement agreement between the city and the Department of Justice (DOJ). The settlement followed an investigation that found Seattle police officers routinely used excessive force, most often against people of color and the psychologically or chemically impaired."These new policies will set the national standard and are a huge step forward," U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan said in a statement.The policies, approved by U.S. District Judge James Robart, were crafted by the city and Justice Department, along with the Police Department, police and civil-rights experts and the Community Police Commission created under the settlement agreement.Mayor Ed Murray welcomed the changes."The perception of racial bias in policing doesn't just corrode the community's trust in the police force, it erodes the morale of our officers," Murray said in a statement that noted the timing of the judge's order with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend."Addressing this very real issue is among the most serious and urgent reforms the Police Department must undertake in the consent-decree process," Murray said.City Attorney Pete Holmes, in a statement, called the steps "real progress" toward reform, and Interim Police Chief Harry Bailey pledged to provide training and, along with his command staff, "modeling" of what they expect from officers.Robart earlier approved the sweeping new weapon-specific, use-of-force policy and reporting system now being used by the department's roughly 1,300 sworn officers.Robart's court-appointed monitor, Merrick Bobb, wrote in a memorandum that the bias and stop policies "will guard against the risk of discriminatory policing, as well as stops and searches, without the requisite suspicion or probable cause."Importantly, Bobb wrote, the policies for the first time require the SPD to collect data on police interaction with citizens, "from which assessments can be made as to the existence of discriminatory policing or disparate impact."The policies stem from a December 2011 Justice Department report on its civil-rights investigation into the SPD, which in addition to the level of unconstitutional use of force, found disturbing but inconclusive evidence that Seattle officers engaged in biased policing.Despite the ambiguity, the DOJ insisted the settlement agreement require the city to address the issue. Federal civil-rights attorneys have said the collection of detailed data on every citizen stop and search was the only sure way to do it.At issue are so-called "Terry stops," named after a landmark 1968 U.S. Supreme Courmini storage case, Terry v. Ohio., that gives police the right to briefly detain a person, without arresting them, if they reasonably suspect the person is involved in criminal activity.The Justice Department, in its findings, said the Police Department's old policy and practices "blur the line between a social contact or casual encounter, and a temporary investigatory detention" under Terry.Bobb wrote that the new policy requires that officers must be able to document their suspicion "using specific articulable facts." Officers are required to limit the stop, and must be able to justify every action they take that impacts an individual's freedom, such as taking someone's driver's license away, ordering a motorist to get out of their car, putting someone up against a wall or patrol car or frisking them.The policy specifically states that "merely because a Terry stop occurs in a high-crime area is not by itself sufficient to justify a frisk." It also specifically bans pretext stops -- when an officer finds a reason to investigate unrelated crimes for which the officer doesn't have cause to look into otherwise.In another provision, the policy says not every reasonable suspicion of a crime may legitimately lead to a stop. "For example, a reasonable suspicion of misdemeanors may not give rise to a stop unless the suspect's conduct itself poses a public-safety risk or has the potential to escalate."The new policy requires a sergeant or supervisor to approve the documentation of a Terry stop at the end of a shift "to determine if they were supported by reasonable suspicion" and consistent with the law.Officers who hear a complaint of discriminatory policing must call a supervisor to the scene to conduct a review and determine the appropriate action.The new blueprint to address biased policing replaces a short policy that was adopted in 2012.Bobb, in his memo to the judge, said the policy defines "expansively on persons and characteristics, which may not be discriminated against."

The destruction of Ho Tung Gardens was extremely regrettable, solely for the profit of one person.迷利倉Every time there has been a significant failure by the government to preserve Hong Kong’s heritage, a “consultation” or “policy review” is announced.Hardly anything changes except an increase in bureaucracy.Not only did the government fail but also the community at large. Exco seems to have taken the cowardly line of least resistance in reversing the chief secretary’s declared intention to preserve Ho Tung Gardens and redevelop the West Wing office block.The Antiquities Advisory Board also failed. It sat by while this site with the highest possible rating was demolished.I wrote to every board member, urging them to hold a special meeting to consider a viable method that would preserve the gardens with no cost to public coffers.No member replied, the chairman did not call a special meeting, and the board did not lift a finger to avert disaster. Nor did any political party.I wrote to every lawmaker of the Civic Party and Liberal Party, asking them to raise the issue in Legco, but not one replied.The Central and Western District Council subcommittee did discuss the issue,迷你倉but the comments of some of the council members were absurd, for example, “resumption would be snatching away someone’s private property” and “it would cost billions of dollars that would be better spent on the underprivileged”.In an amazing display of rubber-stamping, a simple motion to urge the government to preserve the gardens failed by 14 to four. Only the pan-democrats on the council voted in favour.Finally, several experts in the community had written that Ho Tung Gardens should be preserved, and they ranked it higher than King Yin Lei Mansion. But none of these experts came out to criticise the Exco decision or agreed to meet with the district council.By contrast, the only time that the community and Antiquities Advisory Board members really did fight for a heritage site, the Ohel Leah Synagogue on Robinson Road was preserved. This was achieved despite an alignment of government and the board chairman in favour of demolition.Even privately-owned heritage sites can be preserved, but only if people who care take vigorous action.By their passivity, Ho Tung Gardens was lost not only for the present community, but all future generations.William Meacham, Yau Ma Tei自存倉

儲存 小城路窄車多，交通承受能力已不堪人車流的不斷增長，社會期望輕軌系統早日建成，化解交通困局。惜當局再三辜負居民的深切期望，超支連連、工期又拖延、澳門段走線更懸而未決，近期再要諮詢石排灣段的可行性，就連最接近旺區的南灣站亦面臨被撤厄運。一波未平，一波又起，輕軌問題多籮籮、亂糟糟，居民要問：究竟想點？ 受制於地理環境，輕軌澳門段難走入市中心、舊城區，成敗因素在於澳�的連接，駁通關閘口岸、外港碼頭、蓮花口岸、機場、�仔客運碼頭等各出入境口岸，緩解居民、旅客的出行之苦。但成也蕭何、敗也蕭何，澳門段走向諸多阻撓，當爭議較小的�仔段要率先上馬，工程如火如荼，料一六年運作；澳門段卻面臨“墮馬”危機，走線至今未定，一拖再拖，開工無期。 澳門段與�仔段“割蓆”，注定輕軌列車將駛向荊棘滿途的月台。要數輕軌麻煩事，十隻手指都不夠。好不容易�仔段開工，但去年幾場大雨，暴露渠網等配套及管理跟不上，又要花精力解決；先通�仔段雖然折衷，但未來與澳門段的迴路銜接等技術問題如何解決？率先運作的�仔段若不通澳門媽閣站，客流不過海，作用肯定大打折扣，亦恐變“雞肋”。政府早已規劃建造石排灣公屋群，卻後知後覺，至今方諮詢是否要延伸至石排灣；受制澳門段走線要再迷你倉新規劃，相信改動將增加造價，追加費用幾成事實。走線一日未定，計劃在地底的媽閣站施工無期，拖垮媽閣交通樞紐設計。輕軌新口岸區若走外圍，技術上不能再經原定的南灣站，即最接近市中心、最多旅客和居民的旺區竟冇輕軌站點，有冇搞錯？澳門段一拖再拖，如何架接粵澳新通道，實現廣珠城軌珠海站與澳門輕軌青洲站銜接？如何配合港珠澳大橋，於人工島落車的大量旅客難道要乘發財巴進入澳門市區？ 一子錯，滿盤皆落索。輕軌工程絕非“玩泥沙”，需要仔細的周詳規劃，但當局的表現卻似見步行步、見招拆招。輕軌走向朝令夕改，前路茫茫，最令居民不滿的是相關官員回應問題“擠牙膏”般，吞吞吐吐，一時一樣，今日話經內街，明日又話走外圍；原定有南灣站，後來又話要撤銷，居民一頭霧水。重大城建規劃必須問�，但如果主事部門議而不決、決而不行，心中冇底，把延建、亂建的責任推卸給無了期的諮詢、“社會冇共識”的話，絕非負責任的表現。 雖說輕軌的建造工程史無前例，不可能一帆風順，碰壁撞板難以避免。但當問題一而再、再而三出現，就似是試探社會的容忍底線，居民由期待到等待、由等待變忍耐、由忍耐成無奈！不知何年何月才能搭上輕軌列車，從關閘暢通無阻直達機場、從路�準點到澳門上班和上學？ 夏 耘 儲存倉
