Internet Kiosk Survey

Internet Kiosk developers and integrators: if you have successfully deployed internet kiosks you are requested to complete our survey so that your solutions can be included in Summit Research Associates' upcoming report on the subject. Your company will have an opportunity to be showcased so print-quality images of enclosures and screen shots are also requested. All who complete the survey will be entitled to a Substantial Discount off the price of the report. Contact [email protected]




We are in the process of completing our research into the very HOT
Internet kiosk marketplace.  Our next report will come out in late
January, 1998 and has already generated considerable interest. We hope
to cover your company's efforts in considerable detail but need your
help.  The more information you can provide, the more complete your
coverage will be.  I realize I'm asking a lot, but please take a few
moments to fill in the answers to these questions and email them back to
me as soon as possible.  If you are able, could you also send (snail
mail will do) a TIFF (or other print-quality) file or two of a
representative screen that the user would see?  It will be reproduced in
its entirety, thereby offering yet another opportunity to "show your
stuff".

Thanks for all your help.  Please contact me ([email protected]) or
301-670-0980 if you have any questions or if I can provide any
assistance.

Sincerely,
Francie Mendelsohn
