Research firm expects flat-panel sales to spearhead 2008 electronics growth
2008 -- the year of the Beijing Olympics, a global increase in HD adoption and four years away from anything meaningful. According to UK-based Understanding & Solutions, flat-panel sales will be paramount in revenue growth in worldwide consumer electronics products. The analysis jives with pretty much everything else we've heard thus far, as LCD growth in developing nations will purportedly give a nice boost to the sector. TV manufacturers are expected to ship 128 million LCD and plasma sets in 2008, which would be up 38-percent from last year if John Bird's assumptions are accurate. It's also noted that these figures should remain in tact despite estimated slumps in US / UK flat-panel purchases, but alas, only time will tell if 2008 becomes a banner year for HDTV adoption.[Image courtesy of Dallas News]
DISH Network opening customer service facility in Phoenix this June
Barely a month after we heard that DISH Network would be hiring 200 folks from the Tulsa, Oklahoma region to "accommodate customer growth," we've now learned that the satcaster is hiring even more folks in an attempt to further demonstrate its "commitment to providing the highest level of customer care." Reportedly, around 400 technical support representatives and 40 support staff -- all of which will be "required" to have at least two years of experience in a "customer-facing or technical support role" -- will be taking a job in Phoenix, Arizona. Oh, and don't worry -- these individuals will be on the clock soon enough; DISH plans on hiring this month, training in May and opening the center in June. Now would be a good time to beam that résumé in, yeah?
DISH Network hiring 200 in call center to handle growth
Just days after hearing that Verizon would be staffing its Syracuse call center with 335 new employees over the next few years, DISH Network is announcing that it too needs a few good men / women to "accommodate customer growth." Reportedly, the satellite provider is looking to hire 200 folks in its Tulsa, Oklahoma facility before June 1st of this year, primarily in the Technical Support division. Once the hires are made, the total workforce at the 78,500-square-foot center would amount to 650, but there's still room for a few more heads considering DISH's plans to "eventually employ about 1,000 people" in Tulsa.Verizon adding 335 jobs to handle rapid FiOS growth
