NetQuote is an insurance lead provider for insurance agents. The online insurance quote marketplace allows consumers to apply and comparison-shop for quotes,〔(Wall Street Journal )〕 from a variety of major providers of auto, home, health, life and business insurance. NetQuote does not directly provide insurance. It connects customers with insurance agents via its matching system. The information is then sold to insurance brokers. Customers are contacted by agents after the application process, at which point they can select from the interested providers.〔(CBSNews.com )〕 ==History== NetQuote was founded in 1989 when Keith Lawton,〔(NetQuote.com Company History )〕 an insurance agent, and Harvey Lawton, a software engineer, created the world's first interactive voice-response service to shop for insurance. It was named Telerate, Inc. In 1993, Telerate joined forces with Auto Insurance Shopper to create a single company, using the latter's name. Later, the company launched its Internet platform and rebranded itself as NetQuote. NetQuote was acquired by Spectrum Equity Investors and Stripes Group in 2005. Bankrate acquired NetQuote in 2010.〔(Bankrate Buys Portals For $350M )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NetQuote」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
