Wayport Connects With Verizon Wireless
Wayport must have hired a new bizdev guy with some connections in the carrier world. In the last month or so they've been signing deals left and right. Following on similar deals with AT&T Wireless and Sprint PCS, now Verizon Wireless will be reselling Wayport service as well. Of course, they don't say how the pricing will work, or if they're just getting Wayport service on their Verizon Wireless bill. Meanwhile, that's yet another company reselling Wayport's 700 or so hotspots. How many analysts are going to now add another 700 hotspots to their list of available hotspots in the US? At this rate we'll have a million hotspots in no time... all served up in the same 700 locations.
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.
