What Makes You Believe the CE Industry Will Thrive in the Next 5 Years: Though the do-it-yourself solutions are alive and well, the demand for stable and reliable lifestyle-enhancing solutions our CE channel offers is as high as ever. At the center of it all are high-speed and well-built networks. That, combined with all of the connected devices that continue to be introduced into the market, is going to require the professionals from within the CE Industry to make sense of it all and have it all work in harmony. End users aren’t going to want to mess with it.
