Friends of Ralph Messana with whom TVyVideo+Radio was able to speak, highlighted his knowledge of the Latin market, and that he visited places and markets considered small for the industry. In those tours he made a great network of partners, partners and friends.
He also influenced the field of new technologies in Latin America. He was one of the first to talk about streaming and IP, when few knew about those developments, and pointed out categorically that they were the future of the industry.
