Hello,
Two very special events (Meg Whitman Event and Insight Schools Event) in the last week brought a clear focus on a topic of crucial importance to literally everyone in the country, an issue that we hope will occupy a central plank in the administrations of not only the new President but state, county and local officials everywhere. That issue is the critical need for innovation in our education systems, driven by technologies that increase personalization and expand opportunities.
On a personal note, my wife and I had the opportunity to take a Transatlantic Crossing from Southampton, United Kingdom to New York City! It was a breathtaking voyage with all the nostalgia of the movie Titanic. 
Sincerely,
Sinan Kanatsiz Chairman / CEO KCOMM  
PS...Live everyday like it's the last! |
