Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?
By Roger Strukhoff
Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Viva International Announces Restructuring Initiative
Viva International Announces Restructuring Initiative

TRAVERSE CITY, MI -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/30/06 -- Viva International, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCBB: VIVI) announced this morning it plans to restructure the Company to facilitate its expansion and financing efforts as an aviation holding company.

Recently the Company announced that Rodolfo "Rudy" Dominguez accepted the appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and veteran aviation executive Calvin Humphrey has joined the Company's Board of Directors.

Additionally, the Company recently announced that it is in negotiations to acquire the assets and the business operations of River Hawk Aviation, Inc. ("River Hawk"), a privately held company owned by Mr. Humphrey. This agreement will enable the Company to further develop a domestic corporate entity specializing in the acquisition of aircraft and the sale of aviation parts. Furthermore, management believes that the activities of River Hawk can be expanded to create opportunities to support and develop the interests of the Company's subsidiaries in the Caribbean. It is anticipated that Calvin Humphrey will have an expanded role in the Company after the completion of the acquisition of River Hawk.

The Company has also entered into a Consulting Agreement with Cambridge Partners, LLC ("Cambridge") that contemplates assisting management with certain applications of Viva International, Inc. and Viva Air Dominicana, S.A. (its 49% owned subsidiary) for separate listings on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In addition, the Company has entered into negotiations with individual owners of Company stock that will provide up to twenty million (20,000,000) shares to fund the Consulting Agreement. Under the Consulting Agreement, registered broker dealers will help effect private sales that the Company expects to generate up to $5 million in proceeds if all 20,000,000 shares are sold. The Company anticipates entering into loan agreements for up to 80% of the proceeds.

The Company release emphasized that as a condition of its Consulting Agreement with Cambridge it will study the feasibility of a future distribution of the assets of its Eastern Caribbean Airlines, Inc. subsidiary, which distribution will be effected for the benefit of its then existing shareholders.

Company CEO Rodolfo "Rudy" Dominguez stated, "The pursuit of River Hawk combined with the Cambridge Consulting Agreement brings my vision for this Company into the acceleration mode. From the financing side, the Company still has a number of projects that the investment banker network is reviewing and on which we are seeking funding commitments. Further, the addition of the Cambridge Consulting Agreement gives us a broader base of financing from which we expect to be able to draw. The availability of Cal Humphrey in an expanded capacity as well as the ability of our organization to attract additional quality management and fulfill the expansion of our Board of Directors makes this an exciting time for our shareholders and followers."

Further information can be obtained by reviewing the Company's recent 8-K filings and other documents filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
