Dublin, Ireland, 28th July, 2008 - free-hotspot.com has announced that starting today, iPhone™ and iPod® touch users will have free and open access to the Internet while at any free-hotspot.com certified location over the next three months. Customers can wirelessly browse the entire Internet via Wi-Fi, search for, buy and download music from the iTunes® Wi-Fi Music Store - all without incurring any Internet connection charges or watching advertising.
Brandon Meyers, Vice President of Marketing for free-hotspot.com, commented: “Advanced Wi-Fi devices such as the iPhone™ and iPod® touch are making free and available wireless Internet access a ‘must have’ for the mobile consumer. By opening up our network for this three month period, we are giving consumers over 3,500 additional locations where they can access the content and services they want without having to either pay for that connection or watch advertisements.” He continued, “We feel that our pan-European network especially supports the business traveller who is continually roaming across networks and incurring additional fees for data usage.”
Meyers concluded by saying that the company expects to have over 5,000 such HotSpot locations operating throughout Europe by the end of 2008. |
