High-Speed Internet?

In each issue of Agency Technology on the Cutting Edge, well offer agents and brokers the opportunity to express themselves on an important issue within agency technology. This months question concerns high-speed Internet access.

The recent AUGIE survey revealed that more than 80 percent of the agents who responded have broadband connections (DSL or cable modems or dedicated data lines) to the Internet in their agencies. Most in the industry were surprised by how high that number was.

Q. Does your agency have a broadband connection, do you use a modem, or do you not have an Internet connection?

To answer, just send an e-mail to our editors at atrembly@nuco.com or mruquet@nuco.com. In the subject header, specify "Broadband," and in the body of the message, indicate what kind of Internet connection your agency has. Feel free to add your comments as well.

Last months question:

Q. Are you optimistic that true SEMCI interaction will become common within the industry in the next two years?

To answer, send an e-mail to our editors at atrembly@nuco.com or mruquet@nuco.com. In the subject header, specify "SEMCI," and in the body of the message, indicate "yes" or "no." Comments are welcomed.

We look forward to hearing from you.
