Intel head sees 12-mth short supply NEW DELHI, May 25 (Reuters) - Computer chip maker Intel Corp (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) expects a short supply in the industry for another 12 months as components run short, its president and chief executive officer Craig Barrett said on Thursday. ``There is nil balance between supply and demand,'' Barrett told a news conference in response to a question on the semiconductor industry and added that investments made to address the shortage will continue for a while. ``I'd expect some shortage of components for the next 12 months or so,'' said Barrett, who is on an Asian tour in which he has focused substantially on emphasising the company's emerging profile as a maker of chips for networking computers and appliances that will help the Internet and communications. ``We plan to have our communications and networking business grow at 50 percent a year between now and 2003,'' he said, adding that networking products currently accounted for around $2.0 billion in sales and communication products around $1.0 billion. Intel's stock surged $7- to close at $117- on Wednesday after it said it would spend $2.0 billion over the next three years to boost the number of chips it can make at its New Mexico plant. The announcement reversed a fall on the Nasdaq but Barrett shrugged off the linkage between the market and the announcement. biz.yahoo.com
