Technical MarketingA message from CAZITech marketing strategist Wayne Caswell:TEST... After retiring from IBM, I started CAZITech Consulting to pursue a personal vision and offer management consulting and strategic marketing services to  companies in the converging industries of broadband, wireless, home, and community networking, as well as consumer electronics, personal computing, and home & building automation. My clients ranged from small technology startups to large, multinational product manufacturers, service providers, and industry associations; and my services included strategic planning, market research, competitive analysis, business development, evangelism, and communication. (SeeAbout and  Market Segments for more information.)  UPDATE: Since life as an independent consultant is too lonely and unstable for my taste, I started a new career on 7/31/2006 with Dell Product Marketing as a Messaging Manager for the Dimension (consumer desktop PC) line of business. That role offers lots of new opportunities but will give me less time as a consumer advocate for municipal networks and Big Broadband. I will also be giving up my volunteer position on the FCC's Consumer Advisory Committee and my digital home consulting business, CAZITech.You can still be able to reach me with my old contact information, and I occasionally update parts of this site, but with my new career comes a new focus, although still serving the Digital Home.

the past 30 years of personal computing, and a futurist’s look at the next 30, 
Wayne Caswell applies different perspectives in a talk that will be thought 
provoking, controversial, and filled with outlandish predictions that will 
likely be proven way too conservative.
