enthusiastically received by the marketplace. VTECHLINK provides targeted industry links,
authoritative reporting, custom search engine, etc - in short, all of the resources
industry players need to stay on top of the multiple industries converging on the consumer
marketplace.
The last few years have seen multiple industries scrambling to take advantage of new
growth opportunities in the consumer electronics market. Till now, there was no single
place to get timely and highly focused information on the convergence industries. That
changed with the launching of the VTECHLINK service [http://www.vtechlink.com/] in
January.
"The deregulation sweeping through energy utilities, cable and telecom sectors,
combined with the rising focus on Internet and the advancements in the home networking
technologies have made keeping track of who is doing what, who is aligned with whom and
who the players are in this dynamically changing consumer marketplace extremely difficult.
VTECHLINK was specifically designed to address the needs of these entities and industry
professionals who want to stay on top of this area without wasting a lot of time and
resources," said P. S. (Vish) Vishwanath, Principal Director of VTECHLINK.
VTECHLINK provides targeted links to the Web sites of industry companies, organizations,
resources and regulatory agencies, plus direct links to specific places at these sites,
such as News, Products, Services, Financial, etc. In addition, it provides clear reporting
of key industry developments, report archives searchable via custom search engine for
convenient research, weekly email news summary, information on industry conferences and
Premium Gold services for customized in-depth research.
Number of industry organizations, such as CABA (premier North American home and building

and additional alliances are expected to be announced soon.
