Las Vegas, NV, March 20, 2001 - SYS-CON Media announced today (www.sys-con.com.) its Wireless Business & Technology magazine (www.wbt2.com) was featured as the "Lead Launch" in Folio Magazine's current issue. Earlier in the year, WBT's Founding Editor and Editor-in-Chief, Robert Diamond, was named among the top thirty magazine industry executives in the world under the age of 30.

The premier issue of Wireless Business & Technology hit newsstands in January as the first and only wireless publication on the newsstands and sold more than 40,000 copies in less than four weeks. According to the data obtained from Curtis Circulation Company, SYS-CON's national distributor and the largest magazine distributor in the world, WBT is tracking to be the best-selling new magazine title of the year.
