Boingo and the Mac
Boingo and the Mac
06/18/2004 01:48 AMI'm not at all sure that there's a business model in Wi-Fi
connections other than offering them as part of something else, but if
anyone is going to make this work it's probably going to be Sky Dayton
and his team at Boingo.
I haven't used Boingo, in part because it's been a Windows-only
service, and I've bugged Sky every time I've seen him for a Mac
version. It's coming -- a beta Boingo for the Mac has been sent to a
few folks, which means the real thing is coming soon.
Still not sure about the business model, but I'm glad to see the Mac
support.

mostly McDonald's. The press release implies that SkyNetGlobal has 130
hotspots overall, but a brief look at its locations list shows about
that many in Australia alone....

Boingo in 75 Airports
Boingo in 75 Airports
08/04/2004 11:42 AMBoingo partners with ICOA, expands to 75 airports: The battle for road
warriors hearts and minds starts and ends in the airport. Boingo now
has a roaming deal for all six of Icoa's airports, and 69 others
worldwide. The other day, I noted that SBC had signed up to resell
access at or operate service in many of the U.S. airports that offer
service. If they broker a few more deals, they could have the only
comprehensive airport service plan. A colleague of mine, a technology
writer who travels frequently, says he rarely sees people working on
laptops in airports. I don't know how that's possible, with the gate
areas full of laptop users before flights furtively plugged into
power. He's fallen in love with a Treo, which allowed him to skip
opening his laptop on a recent trip. I still wonder how many
applications people actually need. Does Blackberry's success show that
low-speed email is the primary application and that everything else is
a distant second? I doubt it every time I see a plane full of cramped
business people desperately typing away, reviewing Acrobat documents,
building PowerPoint presentations, running Excel spreadsheets, and
using proprietary software....
MCI Expands with Boingo
MCI Expands with Boingo
12/16/2003 05:23 PMMCI's Wi-Fi network includes 2,000 more locations via Boingo: The
press release and this article from News.com don't clarify precisely
what's going on here. I was unaware MCI even had a Wi-Fi option, and
its 600 locations sound very much like Wayport, a fact the News.com
article confirms (sort of: the current version says WavePort is the
partner, but I assume this is Wayport). Boingo already includes the
Wayport locations in its total, so if MCI adds Boingo, does that mean
that its customers will have double access to Wayport? And I've never
heard of MCI's client software, either. More clarification's probably
necessary to understand this deal....
Fiberlink Uses Boingo SDK
Fiberlink Uses Boingo SDK
11/11/2003 03:10 PMFiberlink, the remote access aggretator, said it will use Boingo’s SDK
(software developer's kit) to build a client: The client will provide
Wi-Fi and in the future 3G sniffing, connection and authentication.
The deal also means that Fiberlink customers can access the hotspots
that are part of Boingo’s service. In another deal from an aggregator,
Infonet, which caters to large multinationals, will use hot spots that
are part of GRIC's network. GRIC is an aggregator that appeals to
distributed enterprises. I'm seeing an increasing number of
announcements about aggregators like Fiberlink, iPass, and GRIC
including as many hot spots into their networks as they can and making
it easier for their customers to find and use the networks. They are
aggressively trying to lock their customers into relying on them for
Wi-Fi access before tons of roaming agreements happen between Wi-Fi
operators, making the aggregators irrelevant. It will be interesting
to watch what happens to these guys as the market evolves....

Boingo Adds Mac Client
01/06/2005 05:34 PM We Mac OS X users rejoice: Boingo has released their client for Mac
OS X. I'm a Mac user--as well as a Linux and Windows XP user--and
point out that the installed usage base of Wi-Fi on the Mac platform
is ridiculously high among mobile travelers, thus making it a good way
for Boingo to pick up customers. Boingo has the added advantage of
having a Mac-friendly CEO, Sky Dayton, who founded EarthLink, bringing
Internet access first to Mac users way way back in the mists of time
more than a decade ago. The client comes with a special coupon offer
for a month's free service when you sign up for the unlimited $21.95
per month package. The client is required to negotiate the
complexities of authenticating to dozens of different hotspot networks
in the absence of a clearinghouse, which allows cell networks to
handle cross-network roaming and settlement....

05/18/2004 06:18 PMBoingo Wireless CEO issues statement critiquing Cometa Networks'
failures: In a rare case of this sort, Sky Dayton, Boingo's founder
and CEO, issued a brief statement reiterating the overall growth in
revenue and use of public Wi-Fi hotspots, and critiquing Cometa's
missteps. The statement notes, "Cometa had the potential to become a
leading wholesale hot spot provider. The company's business plan made
a lot of sense -- build lots of hot spots on the cheap and wholesale
them to brands who shoulder the costs of marketing, support and
billing. But they didn't execute well. They spent too much money
before they needed to and demanded carriers pay high minimums for
access to a network that wasn't yet built. No carrier wanted to go
along with that." Dayton also noted that despite Boingo's ability to
sign up networks worldwide as part of their roaming and aggregation
system, that Cometa wouldn't work with them. Cometa signed a roaming
deal with iPass, but reports indicate that this was more theory than
an implemented reality. Dayton wrote, "Boingo had attempted to strike
a roaming agreement with Cometa, but they claimed to not be
interested. Even though their network wasn't much more than a promise,
they were acting as if they were already the market leader. They
succeeded in alienating the very people they needed to help them
succeed." We've heard now from other sources that Dayton's experience
was consistent with Cometa's approach to other firms....

Earthlink Integrates Boingo Software
Earthlink Integrates Boingo Software
07/12/2004 02:24 PMEarthLink will build Boingo's Wi-Fi software into its TotalAccess
package: TotalAccess has been EarthLink's key to user happiness from
its introduction about a decade ago. Originally, it handled the nasty
bits of finding the latest phone numbers and then dialing and
connecting. Now, it's broadened to include anti-spam, anti-popup, and
anti-scam software--and Wi-Fi. EarthLink's founder and chairman, Sky
Dayton, also founded and runs Boingo Wireless, and the two companies
have had a partnership for some time. The integration of Boingo's
Wi-Fi management software into TotalAccess makes it that much easier
for EarthLink's five million subscribers to choose to use Wi-Fi.
Boingo, by the way, used to note over 6,000 access points under
contract with about 3,300 live; in this press release they say 9,000
under contract. We're on the verge of seeing a large bump in network
sizes from aggregators to judge by this number and details provided
recently by GoRemote and iPass....

04/14/2004 02:21 PMLinksys's WRV54G has firmware upgrade to allow owners to enable Boingo
Hot Spot in a Box service: Boingo presents the latest twist in turnkey
hotspots solutions: buy a WRV54G for about $180 to $200, check a box
to activate the Boingo feature, and sign up with Boingo. The WRV54G is
a regular Ethernet switch and Wi-Fi gateway with the ability to
terminate up to 50 static end-to-end VPN sessions (which isn't the
same as offering remote VPN server access for roaming clients). Boingo
has made public all of their payment rates, too: $20 bounty for new
Boingo customers; $4 share for a daily user; $1 share for a monthly
user's session at your location. I received a version that tipped the
hat last October because the firmware release contained the Boingo
option already. Since I also purchased a WRV54G just after evaluating
one, it's time to upgrade its firmware and try out being a hotspot in
my Greenwood neighborhood in which there is practically no hotspot
access....

Boingo and Kyocera Team for Converged
Handset
03/14/2005 05:46 PMBoingo and Kyocera said they'll work together on a combined cellular
and Wi-Fi handset: The device will enable seamless roaming between
cellular networks and hotspots. The idea is to support both voice and
data services that can continue operating while a user is moving from
the range of a cellular network into a hotspot. The phones will
integrate Boingo's roaming software for connectivity and
authentication to hotspots. Such an integrated device will make it
much easier for customers to use voice or other services over Wi-Fi if
only because the Boingo application will help with hotspot login and
authentication. The press release also is touting the benefit such a
combined device will offer to users of higher bandwidth cellular
applications, such as streaming video, because such services will
operate better over the higher speed Wi-Fi networks. The key to this
announcement, however, will be seeing cellular operators choose to
sell the resulting device. Most of the combined cellular/Wi-Fi
handsets that operators have said they'll be selling so far purposely
don't support voice on the Wi-Fi component. Some operators have
discussed combined cellular/Wi-Fi PDAs, which would allow users to
download a voice over IP client and use it over Wi-Fi but the service
wouldn't be integrated with the cellular network. Most cellular
operators aren't promoting the use of voice over Wi-Fi, even though
most also say that voice over Wi-Fi is no threat to their cellular
businesses. Boingo also said that it, along with Kyocera, have joined
BridgePort Networks' MobileIgnite Alliance. BridgePort describes the
alliance as a group of companies "committed to standards-based,
interoperability" of mobile voice over IP convergence solutions. In
reality though, MobileIgnite pushes the use of BridgePort's solutions
to support the integration of cellular and Wi-Fi networks. While the
end result makes more sense than UMA because BridgePort's solution
takes the most advantage of the efficiencies available by carrying
voice over broadband IP networks, the last time I talked to BridgePort
the solution required cellular operators to integrate BridgePort's
products into their networks. While possible, I think that BridgePort
may fight an uphill battle to convince many cellular operators to
deploy a solution that offloads traffic from their networks onto
hotspots that are potentially owned by another operator....

11/10/2003 10:54 PMA company called PacketHop is working on a mesh technology that routes
packets among clients: Instead of routing traffic from one AP to the
next, it routes from one user device to the next. The technology is
designed to allow users to access a network from farther away from an
AP. It looks like PacketHop is announcing that it acquired some

of a product. It's not clear when this product will be available.
(FireTide has also licensed SRI patents for its products, which
