Boingo, T-Mobile Team On Wireless Roaming
T-Mobile is moving ahead with plans for Wi-Fi/GPRS roaming by licensing software from Boingo (Thanks to GlennF for the clarification on this deal). T-Mobile is Boingo's first carrier customer for their authentication and roaming platform. The Boingo client software will let T-Mobile subscribers switch between available networks. I'm surprised that T-Mobile and Boingo aren't doing a hotspot roaming agreement yet, especially with Cometa looming on the horizon.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
