IntroductionAs the communications capital of the world, New York
is the world's largest and most competitive communications and media marketplace.
New York is home to many of the industry's leading communications services providers
and media giants, and for good reason - New York is THE place to do business.
New York State's deep concentration of commercial and financial markets, low
energy costs and central position as a leading corporate headquarters location,
situates the State for strong, continued growth in the communications and media
services industries. Our world-class academic and research institutions, available
workforce and excellent telecommunications infrastructure make New York the preeminent
place to do business -- not to mention the fact that the State's economy is stronger
and more vibrant than ever. Aggressive tax cuts ($40.7 billion for businesses),
the streamlining or elimination of 1800 regulations and the implementation of
pro-business policies over the past six years have lowered the cost of doing business
in the State, making New York the premier location for businesses to grow and
prosper.
That is why numerous leading companies
have chosen to locate in New York, including:
| Verizon Communications |
Disney/ABC |
| Hearst Corporation |
Time Warner |
| Young & Rubicam Inc. |
NBC Universal |
| Tribeca Productions |
Viacom / CBS |

Forbes Inc. |

|
McGraw Hill |
| Cablevision Systems Corporation |

to locate a communications or media services business, then you owe it to yourself
