About Axalto

Axalto (EURONEXT:AXL)(EURONEXT:NL0000400653) ) is the world's
leading provider of microprocessor cards (Gartner 2004) - the key to
digital networks - and a major supplier of point of sale terminals.
The franchising process, which Rasmussen called a "relic that belongs to
the age of tube-style TVs," would have forced firms wishing to provide options

fees passed along to consumers) individual business agreements with 30,000+
jurisdictions across the country.

state, and local citizen groups and think tanks warning lawmakers that, "Local
franchise regulations, fees and taxes on both cable companies and new entrants
in the video services market are having the practical effect of impeding the
