Unstrung Wireless Web Site Re-launched by Light Reading ===: Back in February, Light Reading acquired the assets of Unstrung (http://www.unstrung.com), a Website devoted to the wireless networking industry, with the goal of repeating the success we've had in the optical networking area, this time in the wireless market. We've now achieved our initial goal - to relaunch the Unstrung Website in the image of Light Reading. We've redesigned and rebuilt the site from scratch. We've hired new staff. And we're applying the same formula that's brought Light Reading nearly one million readers. The key elements of this formula are: * Covering technology, money, and people, the three drivers of development * Delivering analysis of news before other folk have even reported it * Providing well-written, informative, and entertaining information - for free * Providing truly global coverage There's a lot to see on the new Unstrung - and the best way of making sure you don't miss anything is to take the guided tour we've laid out below, which steps through the Website section by section, with live links to sample articles: -------------------- 1) News Analysis In-depth analysis of the news before other folk even report it - done in an easy-to-read, aggressive, and entertaining manner. Some examples: Japan's 3G Needs a Kick Start unstrung.com Intel's CTO Has a Smashing Time unstrung.com MMO2: A Wireless Wimp? unstrung.com France Telecom Plans Wireless Wonderwear unstrung.com ----------------------- 2) Unstrung 25 Our very own stock price index, based on our pick of the top 25 public companies in the wireless market.
