INDEX

The largest exhibition in the wire and cable industry calendar is just over a month away now, with wire 2014 being staged in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 7 th to 11 th April. It is hardly surprising that a large section of wiredInUSA is devoted to the fair, with more than 1,300 exhibitors displaying the latest machines and technology to an anticipated 38,000 visitors and decision makers from around the world. You can catch up with some of the American businesses heading to Germany in our special section on page 44. And if you are attending the show, feel free to stop by our booth 11D28 to say hello to members of the team and collect the latest issue of wiredInUSA on CD. Another highlight in this issue is that the Brazilian government is investing some $185m for an undersea fiber optic telecommunication link with Europe to increase security and reduce Internet costs. You can find the story on page 9. David Bell Editor #33 EDITOR
