Assurant Launches Netbook Program

Assurant Solutions this week announced the launch of a new monthly protection program for netbooks. The program will be offered by wireless carriers, offering tech support as well as protection for accidental damage, theft, loss, mechanical breakdown and viruses.

"We saw a need for a comprehensive protection program designed specifically for mini-computers,” Assurant wireless head Manny Becerra said as part of the announcement. “We are continually searching for new services and products that will enhance the customer-carrier relationship. This program is ready for carriers to implement today – or in time for the holidays – as a new benefit for their customers and a new source of revenue for their businesses.”
