Today's Story Highlights

US Comptroller Gears Up for Blockchain and Internet Finance
The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has a lot of catching
up to do in dealing with innovative information technology, as it
affects not only conventional finance, but also new channels of e-
commerce made possible through advances in IT. These channels include
cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, related "blockchain" technologies, and
other Internet-driven financial services.

Signs and Symptoms
It's been a rough couple of months, and we should talk about something
fun and not political, but CRM-centric. I know! Let's ask how the
election influenced CRM. Seriously, there's a nugget in there to get us
thinking about business instead of that other stuff. Come on, it'll be
fun. I am not the only one who saw this, but isn't it amazing how the
pollsters got the election outcome exactly wrong?

Coping With Software Licensing Challenges in the Cloud
A majority of independent software vendors were dealing with an
escalating assortment of organizational issues monitoring and monetizing
their software capabilities, according to a survey of ISV executives
conducted last year. As many of those ISVs move to the cloud and SaaS
delivery models, they face even greater obstacles achieving their
business objectives.

Marketo VP Mike Telem: ABM Lets You Dust Off Old Marketing Techniques
"Account-based marketing is all about targeting key accounts. It's a
strategy for marketers to focus most of their efforts on key accounts,"
said Mike Telem, vice president of product marketing at Marketo. "In
most B2B businesses, you have a small number of accounts that are the
most valuable. So it makes perfect sense that focusing on those accounts
provides a better return on investment."

BlackBerry to Deliver One Last Keyboard Phone
BlackBerry has a new phone in the works, and it will have a physical
keyboard, according to reports that surfaced last week. The company
recently announced that it would exit the smartphone hardware market and
transition to developing back-end mobile security software. However,
BlackBerry CEO John Chen confirmed that one last device is in the
pipeline.

Russia May Kick Out LinkedIn
A LinkedIn block in Russia could be imminent, in light of last week's
court ruling that the company broke a law requiring personal data on
Russian citizens to be stored on servers within the country.
Roskomnadzor, Russia's telecommunications and media authority, is
waiting until it has the full text of the ruling before acting on it.
Russia had 5 million registered LinkedIn members in Q1.

Google Insists Android Plays on Level Field in Europe
Google on Thursday fired back at the European Commission's charges that
it violated antitrust law by imposing coercive rules on mobile operators
and developers who use or write applications for its Android operating
system. The EC this spring charged that Google's requirements to use its
search engine and its Chrome browser on mobile devices running Android
were coercive tactics.
