Who’s getting buzz?

Earlier this week, NBC 10 featured a story on Sanosil — a New Castle company we’ve previously profiled. Sanosil produces non-toxic, environmentally-friendly disinfecting biocides that can purify water, sanitize hospitals and reduce infections, among other uses. Now, the company is sending its foggers to Africa to help stop the spread of the Ebola virus.

According to a recent NBC News article, Delaware has the best broadband access in the U.S. The article cited a recent report from networking services company Akamai, which ranked the First State best in average speed, peak speed, connectivity and 4K readiness.
