The revenue performance of our core MSS business was in line with management expectations. New product sales continue to be very strong, but some usage trends and other factors continue to constrain our MSS growth. We continue to expect growth in our core MSS revenue for 2011 to be within our 2 percent to 4 percent range.” To read the entire financial report, access this direct infolink.
