Düsseldorf, Germany -- In less than two months, wire 2010 – International Wire and Cable Trade Fair and Tube 2010 – International Tube and Pipe Trade Fair, will be held at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany (April 12-16, 2010). The exhibitor participation at both events indicates that the industry is optimistic about the future: with 1,037 exhibitors from 47 countries on a net area of 463,800 square feet,

Tube 2010 is sold out in terms of space. The event will occupy all available space in Halls 1 to 7.0. -  almost 21,500 square feet more than at the Tube 2008 staging. The wire 2010 exhibitors will present their products on 553,630 square feet of net exhibit space in Halls 9 to 12 and 15 to 17. This represents a decrease of about 23,600 square feet due to booth size reduction by several companies. However, with 1,135 companies from 49 nations, the number of exhibitors at wire 2010 has already exceeded the final results of wire 2008. The participation of an aluminum manufacturer from Mexico will be a highlight. In addition, companies from Egypt, Estonia, Columbia and the United Arab Emirates will take part in the wire trade fair for the first time.

  Education Heavy Snow Brought Downed Power Lines, Injuries, and Deaths

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (March 7, 2010) -- Here in western Pennsylvania heavy, wet snows--as much as 36 inches deep in some places--have brought down trees and electrical wires, This adverse weather brought with it the question “Who is it that owns this power line?”

Typically, during storms the fire department will respond and clear the trees and the wires if they are cable TV or telephone as these are considered safe to move, at least most of the time. The local utility is then notified so they can do a follow-up repair. This can often bring with it trouble when the cable or Telco provider arrives.

On the other, AT&T probably recognizes that there's a higher profit potential associated with IP communication, such as Voice Over IP (VoIP).
