The last time we caught up about the webcast, Emerge Sales' Michael Sperduti told me that this kind of data would cost $10,000 if you got it from Frost & Sullivan. Even if he's exaggerating by 50% (he is an excellent sales guy, after all), that means it'd cost $5,000.
We're offering it to you for $99. Register here.
