Valuable airwaves head for auction
WASHINGTON -- There's about to be a land rush in telecommunications as the U.S. government auctions the only remaining airwaves suitable for nationwide, high-speed wireless Web access. Big telephone and cable companies are jostling alongside Internet and technology entrepreneurs to control the spectrum, estimated to be worth as much as $30 billion. "It's the biggest chunk of spectrum to come back into the public administration in a generation and it's by far the most valuable piece," said Ben Scott, policy director at Free Press, a Washington-based nonprofit focused on communications policy. And it's a hot topic in Washington: House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell, a Michigan Democrat, will explore the issues in a hearing Thursday, and the Federal Communications Commission, hoping to schedule the auction this fall, may vote on rules as early as Wednesday, April 25.
One Stop CRM Shopping Fails Manufacturers and Distributors
/24-7PressRelease/ - April 23, 2007 - According to Larry Caretsky, President of Commence Corporation, "Today's industrial sales environment is characterized by intense competition, strategic sourcing contracts, online auctions, customer pressure for self-service, and the ongoing debate over fee-based services. To thrive in this environment, industrial distributors and manufacturers need more than leading technology or efficient warehouses to achieve long-term growth." Leading industrial organizations are looking outside their four walls to their customers for growth ideas. By leveraging the voice of the customer, these organizations achieve a competitive advantage in redefining sales and marketing, the all-important customer-facing portion of their operations. In an effort to help industrial distributors and manufacturers sell more, more effectively, Commence Corporation has developed this compendium of more than 40 smart practices in industrial selling, culled from interviews with leading executives within high-growth companies, and building on a comprehensive review of published perspectives on smart industrial selling.
Bob Perani part of group bidding for Generals
Perani told The Journal on Saturday night that he is part of a group that has reached an agreement to purchase the United Hockey League club from owner Khaled M. Shukairy. How much of the club they control has yet to be decided. "There is a deal," Perani said between the second and third periods of the Generals' playoff Game 6 with the Kalamazoo Wings. "I've guaranteed certain things. We've got some things to work out. I'm excited. I think we'll sell a lot of tickets through businesses. "We have to have people feel they can come down here and get their money's worth and be entertained." Perani said the five other individuals who could be part of the ownership group include Chuck Glasscock, one of his vice presidents at Perani's Hockey World, which is the largest independent distributor of hockey equipment in the world.
