Light Reading Inc. is a telecommunications industry information company based in New York City. Its activities include publishing, data analysis, market research, and events management.[1] It is owned by UBM TechWeb.
The company was founded in 2000 by Stephen Saunders and was bought by UBM for $33 million in 2005, becoming part of the UBM subsidiary CMP Media.[2] Saunders remained as CEO and launched Internet Evolution later in 2005.[3]
Light Reading's market research arm, Heavy Reading, bought Pyramid Research in August 2008.[4]
E. Bryan Carne wrote that he would "heartily recommend" Light Reading's daily newsletter for "those who wish to keep abreast" of the telecommunications industry and that it had helped him when writing his book.[5]
