Spring 1997 / Issue 1 SURF your BRAINS out!
----------------------------------------------------------------
MAKING GOOD ON OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU!
Our promise to you in November of 1996:
"Tidal Wave guarantees consumers who have purchased 28.8 or 33.6
modems from Motorola or from vendors who are committed to X2
type technology an upgrade to industry standard modems that
operate up to 56Kbps when the standard becomes available, even
if Motorola must provide the user with a new modem."
We're the only vendor in the industry who offers so secure an
upgrade path! Motorola has upgrade solutions for Tidal Wave
Preferred Customer Program members! Because we realize that the
standard is some time off, we're providing you with the options
of either upgrading to K56 today or waiting for the ITU standard
to evolve. The choice is totally up to you!
If you choose to upgrade to K56 now, we're prepared to offer you
a brand-new Motorola SURFR 56K modem at a price significantly
below current retail prices. Later, when ITU-standard 56K is set,
we'll upgrade you with a soft-download to ITU 56K for no more than
$19.95 if you're a Tidal Wave member.
If you choose to wait and upgrade to ITU 56K once the standard is
final, our commitment is to provide you with an upgrade product
priced significantly below retail prices at that time.
Here's what's great about Motorola's offer:
- You save money today on your K56 modem purchase.
- As a Tidal Wave member, you are guaranteed an upgrade path to
the standard - ITU 56K like none other, even if we have to replace
your modem. Why is this important? No one is 100% sure how the
ITU standard will evolve. It could require software changes or it
could require new modem hardware. Regardless of what is required,
you are safe with Motorola.
- Motorola is committed to you as our customer and will guarantee
you an upgrade path to ITU 56K!
