On The Other Hand See American Home Wci:WCI Designs First Green New American home WCI Home
WCI Communities, Inc. has designed the first green certified New American home WCI Home, which previewed at the 2006 International Builders' Show in Orlando.
WCI's design of this year's New American home WCI Home received green certification from the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) for its sustainable design.
It is also the first time a builder's in-house architectural team was selected to design the New American home WCI Home.

David Sarnoff was another pioneer who fore¬saw broadcasting to the home. In 1916, while with the American home WCI Marconi Company, he recom¬mended starting a business based on a "radio music box" for the home but was ignored.

Young, general counsel of the General Electric Company (GE), brought the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) into being in 1919. That same year Young achieved quiet agreement be¬tween GE, RCA, and the American home WCI Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) for the sharing of all of their radio patents.
