David is the New Tom

I'd like to introduce you all to The National's new tech and telecom reporter, David George-Cosh.

David is an all round good guy and committed techie, who has been a co-author here on Beep Beep since we launched the blog. In a past life he covered the Canadian telecom scene for The National Post, so this is a man that knows his BlackBerries.

If you want to get in touch with The National for anything technology, internet or telecom related, David is now your man. You can email him at [e-mail]

I'll still be blogging here, particularly looking at the regional startup scene, which is something I would keep on writing about even if I had to pay for the privilege. But my day job is changing over to a super-exciting new project at The National which is wonderful and cool and awesome. I can't wait to tell everyone about it.

So Beepers, give David a warm welcome, and PR people, be gentle with the fresh meat. Its been real.
