Business Internet
Business Internet. It's one of the biggest phrases that we get internet traffic from. And I wonder: Why?
I would imagine one of two scenarios:
The business is moving and they (obviously) need internet connection or,
The business already has internet and it’s not fast enough for their needs.
If a business is just starting up or moving, internet is a necessity. I get that. Whether the connection comes from DSL (please, NO!), or cable, or satellite, or whatever. I get it. The business only exists to generate income for the people who actively participate, or invest, in the business. Without internet connectivity there would be far less income to generate. So scenario one is a given.
It’s scenario two that has me intrigued.

Low Voltage Integrator
Business Installs is a Low Voltage Integrator. But what does that mean?
Technically, Low Voltage is classified by the State Licensing Board as a Specialty Contractor (C-7) who installs, services and maintains systems that don't exceed 91 volts. And an Integrator symply combines things. But realistically, this doesn't explain the totality of what a Low Voltage Inegrator is.
