NETD's other revenue streams will be varied and you can already get a handle on what's happening by visiting the revamped Web site. Explore both the consumer section and the enterprise section. Specifics will be released in next week's PR and in the next conference call in two weeks.
There is a lot we could tell you, but we are very fussy about maintaining our integrity relative to SEC rules about disclosure. However, since some of the information has already been "released" on the datalink.net Web site, I will paste some of the hottest segments below.
First of all, let's look at the enterprise side.
WIRELESS BOOKMARK
The value of the "bookmark" on the Web is undeniable. Datalink.net can help you take it a step further.
Datalink.net's "Wireless Bookmark™" will create an outreach to customers from your website, allowing your site to become mobile and sticky.
It's a simple opt-in for your customers, allowing you and your website to have an advanced marketing tool that gives you the ability to "reach out and sell someone".
The "Wireless Bookmark™" is simple to set-up and easy to use. Acting like a banner or an electronic post-it note, it is embedded on a webpage and allows for detailed statistics and web based reporting.
How Many "Wireless Bookmarks™" are right for you?
Depending on your needs, your wish to reach people, and your desire to make money, you can choose to enable your website with one or several "Wireless Bookmark's™".
The process is easy…choose the categories of information you would like your customers to know about, download and embed the banners into your webpages, and watch your e-business and web audience GROW!
You can add a "Wireless Bookmark™" everytime you add a category to your site….and watch while "the other guys" scramble to match your success!
Think of it this way:
An antique store has a web page and a good clientele base. Many of that client base have particular interests/hobbies/collectibles, and they would like to know about the store receiving these items or whether a sale is happening at any given time. With the "Wireless Bookmark'ssm" that store will be able to notify clients IMMEDIATELY and courteously with a gentle alert sent to their PCS phone, pager, or PDA. The added value from the customers' point of view is the simplicity of their opt-in program.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now let's look at the consumer side:
InfoXtra II
Welcome to the world where the Web meets Wireless! With InfoXtra II YOU choose the information YOU want and when YOU want it. InfoXtra II delivers YOUR world right to your pager, PCS phone or PDA. Hey, InfoXtra II will even help keep you on schedule! InfoXtra II gives you the latest updates on your stocks, sports, weather, news, entertainment, personal alerts and much more… All the information YOU want is now truly in the palm of your hand.
PRICING
Note: Pricing for InfoXtra II
includes all alert Categories.
P r i c i n g (for infoXtra II)
Alerts Per Month
0-50 FREE!
51-100 $2.95
101+ $.05 per Alert
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The difference between InfoXtra II and QuoteXpress is that InfoXtra II has 20 minute delayed quotes. The service includes access to all NETD services and a calendar.
This is a take off on the AOL model. The consumer has to give NETD a credit card to get the 50 free alerts. After that the average user may pay $5.00 to $10.00 a month. The key is the
price. Looks free, but it's only a hook. The service is addictive, and you only pay if you use it. What's more it's a great "feeder" channel for the higher priced products (real time quotes).
DISCLOSURE - NETD is paying IRReporter restricted stock for the dissemination of information and consulting services.
