Press Release Body:
Milan,Italy,January,25,2008 -- Lightstreamer has been deployed by Alpha Theory to

will stream real-time updates between Alpha Theory users.

Lightstreamer is the leading push server for live data distribution based on the
Ajax-Comet paradigm (also known as "AJAX Push"). Its server component implements a

About Lightstreamer

Lightstreamer is a scalable and reliable Server used to push live data to Rich
Internet Applications. Based on the AJAX-Comet paradigm, it streams real-time data
to any Web browser, without installing anything on the client. Both HTML and Flex
applications can receive data from Lightstreamer, as well as traditional thick
clients. Lightstreamer has been used in many mission-critical production systems,
where scalability, low network impact, bandwidth management, adaptive streaming, and
other advanced features, have proven fundamental. The development of Lightstreamer
began in 2000, as part of a system Integrator's activity for the Italian financial
market. In 2004 Lightstreamer was separated into an independent ISV (legal entity
Weswit Srl) to provide \'push technology\' to a wider global market. For more
