Greetings!
|
Infocomm is behind us once more, I question the logic of a business to
business show in a family oriented tourist area where the temperature is
unbearably hot. I am sure Infocomm has
some madness to their logic. While the
number of attendees was noticeably down it was better than most of us
expected. Our manufacturers are taking
the economic climate on by introducing a
large number of new products in an effort to find new markets and expand their
customer base. More and more of these
products are IT based technology to address Audio Visual needs. This only confirms my belief that we are no
longer in the audio video integration business but the technology integration
business.
