PROFILE |
 |
Data Transmission Network (DTN) has a crop of information ready for harvesting. The company provides agricultural, weather, financial, and energy information to about 167,000 subscribers in the US and Canada. The majority of its subscribers receive information via satellite dish, but the DTN also provides its information through the Web, cable TV, e-mail, fax, direct leased line circuits, and wireless devices. More than half of DTN's revenue comes from providing agricultural information such as market data, news, and weather information. VS&A Communications Partners (an affiliate of media merchant bank Veronis, Suhler & Associates) acquired DTN in 2000.
