Without (fast) Internet access, we are nothing

Sara Holoubek October 27, 2008

This week, Verizon delivered some good news: Not only did the firm add 1.5 million new wireless subscribers in the third quarter, net income was up 31%. While landline and DSL customers decreased, the launch of FIOS, the company's fast Web, phone and television bundle, is meeting its targets. In short, if there is one thing that consumers won't sacrifice during a downturn, it is fast home and mobile digital communication. Fall fashion, the home renovation or even the new flat screen can wait. Without Internet access, we are nothing.

Column

Improving marketing efficiency with technology

Colton Perry, SVP technology, NetPlus Marketing October 27, 2008

The story is classic: A factory replaces the human worker with a machine to mass produce and streamline its process. Well, this isn't quite the same story, but the idea is the same — leveraging technology to make your business more efficient. In today's challenging economy, marketing budgets are being slashed and agencies are being tasked with squeezing every last drop from their precious budget, and many are developing tools to do the same work in less time, using fewer resources.
