905.0. "Is DEC a "Source of FDDI Solutions"?" by TRCU17::BROWN (CASE - Computer Aided Sales Enhancers) Tue Mar 23 1993 11:47

Several March issues of Communications Week carried 2 page ads? placed by Access Media 
Inc. who introduce a technology and opposite list a page of vendors who can help implement 
solutions based on the technology.  It reads more like a service to readers, appearing
to be unbiased, factual (and complete?).  Logos and 4-5 line writeups are given for
such firms as IBM, 3Com, SunConnect, Coral, etc  BUT NO SIGN OF DIGITAL!!

We are conspicuous by our absence and, if I didn't know better, would think DEC does
not provide FDDI Solutions.

Perhaps someone in marketing should give Access a call at 310 450 7941.

    Ian,
                                                    
       I've noticed that too, in the last few issues of Communications
    Week in which the Access ads were FDDI-centric.  I recall, however,
    that some time ago Digital WAS named as an FDDI vendor on the other
    side of the page.
    
       I have to assume that it costs bucks ($) to be placed in the ad and
    that we're not willing to spend the money anymore.  That would be a shame.
