Boingo Partners with free-hotspot.com to Extend Its European Reach

DUBLIN, Ireland & LOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)-- Boingo Wireless and free-hotspot.com are pleased to announce that Boingo customers will now be able to roam at all of free-hotspot.com's Wi-Fi locations. With access to uninterrupted sessions and an assured quality of service, Boingo users will not be required to view advertisements to connect to free-hotspot.com's network of more than 3,500 locations in 18 countries throughout Europe.


free-hotspot.com quadrupled its network size in 2007 and expects to have 5,000 hotspots by the end of 2008, making it one of the fastest growing networks in the world. Boingo, which provides access to the world's largest network of Wi-Fi hotspots, has aggregated more than 100,000 hotspots across the globe, all accessible via one single account.

"We are pleased to extend our reach by partnering with a dynamic company like free-hotspot.com.

Both Boingo Wireless and free-hotspot.com won a WBI Award in 2006, confirming their position as innovative companies within the wireless industry: Boingo Wireless for Best Aggregator/Wholesaler and free-hotspot.com for Best Public Wi-Fi Product.
