Readers of this site may cringe upon seeing the word ‘Connect’, as it has been a word associated with a past suborganization of Sony that was considered by some as a complete management disaster. Whilst Connect had its highs and lows, Sony is looking to revitalize its definition of the word and bring every device it sells online. Sony CEO Howard Stringer on Thursday envisioned a day when most, if not all, the company’s products can be connected to the Internet and with each other.
“Our mission is simply to be the leading global provider of networked consumer electronics and entertainment,” Stringer said. To realize that mission, he said, Sony was prepared to invest $16.7 billion over the next three years not only to strengthen its networking capabilities but also to enhance such products as Blu-ray players/recorders, TV monitors, batteries, and electronic components.
Sounds like its a good time to be in the business of selling Cat-5(e) cable. 🙂
