Typically to get from New York to Huntsville I drive from Nashville, TN which a direct flight from New York but a 131+ miles away. Today I am connecting via Detroit directly to Huntsville &#8211; I am a bit surprised that there is such a direct flight when there isn&#8217;t one from NY to Huntsville but then again I know there are auto plants in Tennessee which could explain why there are flights from Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I was reminded of the importance of face to face communications as I saw this video interview of Scott Kargman by Suzanne Bowen. Suzanne works for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/snapshots\/snapshots.aspx?Company=DIDXchange\">DIDX<\/a>, a company supplying DIDs to carriers worldwide. Scott runs Crossfire Media, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/\">TMC<\/a> partner in our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.m2mevolution.com\/\">M2M<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/4g-wirelessevolution.tmcnet.com\/\">4G<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.specosys.com\/Default.aspx\">Smart Products<\/a> initiatives or SPEC.
