Dublin, Ireland – 20 May, 2008 - free-hotspot.com, Europe’s largest free Wi-Fi Internet service provider, announces today that it has installed over 3,000 free HotSpots across 18 European countries, and is now providing free Wi-Fi connections to over 500,000 people each month.

Daniel C. Toomey, Jr., the company’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: "In just two years we have established Europe's largest free Wi-Fi Internet service network, helped to launch Europe's largest free metropolitan network and introduced a number of innovative free services such as toll free technical support, a toll free hotspot location hotline and the industry's first searchable directory of free hotspots with certified status." He continued, "We could never have accomplished this feat without the hard work of our employees, our local installation partners, the faith and confidence of our HotSpot Operators and of course, the loyalty of our hundreds of thousands of users who visit our FREE HotSpots each month."

Joe Brunoli, Vice President, Business Development at free-hotspot.com, noted: "It’s exciting to be at the forefront of the free Wi-Fi expansion in Europe. We now operate the industry's fastest growing Wi-Fi network and are on track to double our number of HotSpots in the next year. I think the biggest factor driving this rapid growth is that businesses are realizing that free Wi-Fi Internet service brings customers to them. Free Wi-Fi Internet service is going mainstream - especially in the hospitality sector. We believe that free Wi-Fi will become as common as air conditioning and in-room TVs over the next few years, he concluded."

free-hotspot.com is set to continue its rapid expansion throughout 2008. The largest industry to be served by free-hotspot.com is the hospitality sector, with over 1,200 hotels across Europe now offering the company’s free wireless Internet service. Other venues include cafes, pubs, restaurants and further "typical" Wi-Fi locations and the company is also making inroads into the transportation industry, installing free Wi-Fi in airports, rail stations, ports and marinas.
