You, see. ERICY is a home networking company
This is to show why ERICY valuation is so low. The top management is hellbent on wireless. Since, they are the ones that set the tune, other worthwhile initiatives in the company are kept in the shadow.
While LU McGinn, ALA Tchuruk, Siemens's von Pierer, NT's John Roth are Promoting everything their companies do, ERICY's management are just pushing the wireless envelop.
I hope this new CEO changes that.

BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 28, 1999--Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON) today demonstrated how Internet connectivity to smart device networks enables the delivery of new value-added services into our homes and will transform the way that we live.
