    2007 was a strong year for Net Insight, we met our targets and for the first time we report a full financial year of profitability and positive cash flow. We did business in 21 countries and the demand for Net Insight's transport solutions is strong and growing. The main market driver is the explosive rise in video traffic across all communications networks. Network owners and operators around the world are gearing up to manage the "video explosion" at the same time as new business models and vendor constellations are being created to capture the significant business opportunities relating to video and real time critical services. These changes in the market are at the sweet spot of Net Insight's offering and strategy.
