Concourse Communications
Announces Three New Airport Roaming Agreements
Chicago, IL – December
2, 2003 – Concourse Communications Group, LLC, a leader
in the design, installation and operation of neutral-host wireless
voice and data networks today announced it had signed Roaming Agreements
with another three Wireless ISPs (WISPs) and Aggregators: iPass,
STSN and Boingo.
“We are pleased to add iPass, STSN and Boingo to our list of roaming partners,
thereby significantly increasing the number of potential users in our WiFi-enabled
airports,” said Dick Snyder, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Concourse. “This
brings the number of roaming partners to a total of four, including Sprint, with
an expectation that the number will continue to grow over the next several weeks.”
“By the end of this year, there will be more than 10,000 commercial hotspot
locations in the US -- and more than 45,000 globally. Of these locations, airports
are among the most valuable. Yet these hotspots are still largely fragmented
geographically and vertically. Every roaming agreement is a step forward in making
these networks more useful to consumers,” says John Yunker, Analyst, Pyramid
Research
”Concourse Communication's neutral host model is the key to enabling a
competitive and creative variety of consumer-focused Wi-Fi networks. The neutral
host model is a win-win scenario for both the venue, driving the maximum number
of visitors, and the operator, driving maximum usage,” Mr. Yunker adds.
