Online Owls Launches as New Service to Quickly Connect People with Affordable, Trusted On-Demand Tech Support

Initially launching in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, Online Owls plans to expand its service nationwide in 2016. In the greater D.C. metro area, an estimated 1.4 to 2 million people use broadband Internet at home, according to a study by Pew Research Center. A recent survey by Parks Associates found that an estimated 68 percent of D.C. area households said they would be interested in technical support that caters to their devices.

There is a real need for technical support that is immediate, affordable and convenient that can come to your location when it fits your schedule, said Bruno Bianchi, CEO and co-founder of Online Owls. As the world becomes more connected and devices increase in number and complexity, it is more challenging than ever to install, troubleshoot, repair or even learn how to use some of them. Online Owls fills that need with a service that is secure and reliable.
