SAN MATEO, Calif. -- ElectroniCast is proud to celebrate its twentieth anniversary as an independent technology-based forecasting firm for the fiber optic, optoelectronic, and photonic industries. "Twenty years ago the global consumption of fiber optic communication components was less than $300 million," ElectroniCast President Stephen Montgomery said. "In 20 years, we expect that number to exceed $300 billion. We are very excited to enter our next 20 years of assisting clients to obtain a huge chunk of that window of opportunity." ElectroniCast was founded in 1981 by industry expert Jeff D. Montgomery to meet the information needs of communication industry planners and related suppliers. "We look forward to continuing to provide the very best, reliable and credible information available to the communication industry," ElectroniCast founder Jeff Montgomery said. "In addition to the 'numbers' we are looking forward to the evaluation of technology trend issues, such as (to name a few) packaging, integration and automation." ElectroniCast Corp.
