Charlene and Diane reflect on the top questions the channel should be asking in the months to come along with possible answers. Only time will tell how this acquisition may affect other distributors, channel partners and vendors, but it's certainly interesting to speculate and see how the channel adapts. Listen to the discussion and tell us what you think!   Thanks to Joe Panettieri for all the channel coverage on the Ingram Micro deal, including the major highlights, Buyout FAQ, Letter to Employees and Letter to Partners.
