The Company report says: "In terms of the corporate revenue outlook, we recently surveyed our corporate clients to gauge their forecasted travel spend for the balance of the year, and 84% responded that they anticipated either the same or increased travel spend on Delta despite the relatively weak economy and global pressures, so corporate revenues continue to perform well."

13. “Free-to-Play is EA’s Fastest-Growing Business Model,” Electronic Arts

Electronic Arts says that people are switching to video games that are free to play and thus the company has shifted its focus.

"Free-­to-­play is EA's fastest-­growing business model, with year-­over-­year revenues that are up 156%. And while this already makes up 17% of our overall revenue in Q1, the compounded annual growth rate is significantly outpacing the overall market. A clear trend line is emerging here. While I look at the quality of these games and the revenue they produce, I'm convinced that free-­to-­play will emerge as the leading business model for PC and mobile gaming," says the company.
