Speaking of this Week 2003 P1



Speaking of this Year — 2003
When trying to sum up a whole year, it's best to start with the indicators, such as IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries' book-to-bill ratio. While we only have numbers through November right now, the graph of the year shows a good trend.

Nothing scary here: The September Book-to-Bill from IPC was revealed this week, showing continuing growth and recovery. Meanwhile, with 2004 closer than ever, the industry is looking toward tradeshows and events for next year, as well as wrapping up those taking place in 2003. There's also progress, partnership and financial news, as always, and some legislative news thrown in for good measure.
