NBC Universal Moves TRIO to Online

NBC Universal said that its struggling cable venture, which generated cult buzz among the pop-culture cognoscenti but not among advertisers, would be yanked from its digital channel slot and relaunched as an Internet-only service.

�Trio has always been for people who are obsessed with the arts and pop culture,� said Lauren Zalaznick, president of Bravo. �The Web is a perfect place to expand that programming philosophy to an unlimited audience.�

Existing Trio programming including acquired series under the �Brilliant, But Cancelled� banner will continue on the Internet, and more new programming will be added throughout the year.

How WLAN Transforms Industrial Automation

The industrial sector is on the eve of a wireless transformation, driven by an urgent demand for greater network capacity, reliability, and deterministic performance. Historically, manufacturers and mission-critical operations have relied on wired networks — favoring their predictability — because spectrum congestion in legacy 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands limited confidence in wireless for operational technology (OT) environments.

This is a leap from 2 percent in 2023, highlighting a rapid and profound technological shift. The market for ruggedized indust...
