Founded in 1999, GetConnected, Inc. provides a suite of software tools that facilitate the sale of wireless, broadband, local phone, long distance, cable, and satellite television services. The Telecommunications Deregulation Act of 1996 was the cata- lyst for a proliferation of telecommunications services which made the process of selecting the best providers and plans a daunting task for consumers.The Internet offered a tremendous opportunity for consumers to easily find and compare all options available to them and make the right choice through an informative and intuitive elec- tronic shopping process.The Internet was also the ideal medium to help telecommunications service providers cost effectively acquire customers. www.GetConnected.com resulted from the confluence of these three market forces. Named by Newsweek as one of the 103 Best Web Sites and by PC World as Best Cell Phone Site, GetConnected.com, the showcase of the GetConnected functionality, is an easy-to-use Web site that empowers users with the information necessary to help them select the services that best meet their individual needs. In addition to being a source of the most comprehensive and accurate information avail- able, the GetConnected site, shopping technology and transaction processing capability make the purchase process simple and straight- forward. Consumers are shown all plans, products, and special offers available in their area. GetConnected.com also provides highly intu- itive and interactive wizards and bill calculators that allow the user to customize searches and make it easier to locate and buy the most suitable plans.The end result? Consumers get the most for their telecommunication dollar. GetConnected, Inc. offers consumers and small businesses access to its services directly through its Web site www.GetConnected.com, and through a network of partner Web sites. Consumers will also be able to access the GetConnected telecommunication shopping services in pri- vate labeled applications at retail, where GetConnected will power the shopping experience and order processing for its retail partners. ix 165_cell_ aFM.qk 11/12/01 1:58 PM Page x 165_cell_ aFM.qk 11/12/01 1:58 PM Page xi Contributors Jeff McLaughlin is the Senior Director of Wireless Partnerships for GetConnected, Inc.
