Welcome to the July issue of wiredInUSA – special to us as it is the fourth anniversary issue since we started bringing you the latest news from across the Americas in our monthly digital ezine. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our readers and advertisers for their continued support. Allied Fiber steal the headlines with the launch of Palm Coast's FiberNET network which is expected to drive job growth and help cable and Internet providers in the community to offer improved services. The full story can be found on page 12. Turning to page 14 will highlight how American Kuhne's single minute exchange of die (SMED) can reduce downtime in tubing, profile, wire and cable and other small-die production lines. The company used the recent NPE 2015 exhibition to show this off. Finally, governor David Ige has approved Hawaii's HB623 bill, which forces utilities to source 11 percent of electricity from renewables by 2045. Turn to page 15 David Bell Editor
