Greetings from San Francisco and NewTeeVee Live 2009. It has been a day filled with great announcements and honors. First - I was asked to speak at the show and represent Inlet as one of NewTeeVee's "Next Big Thing," a list of companies identified as market movers.

 

From Raleigh to Vancouver. Wow - what a trip. I'm not talking about a plane flight here, although North Carolina skiiers would probably embrace such a thing. Not thinking about a car trip either. I'm talking about Inlet Technologies powering the XXI Olympic Winter Games. Today we were able to announce something Inlet has been working on for the better part of the last year. And what an amazing adventure it has been.

 

We often hear the word 'disruptive' used in and around technology discussions. The term sounds interesting and when used appropriately, it does tend to lend importance to a discussion.

The answer depends on where you sit within that landscape.
