Mobility Networks Shutters Doors, Turns Off Lights
In the current mini-bubble of euphoria around WiFi and associated hardware and technology, it was interesting to see that WiFi - cellular roaming solutions provider Mobility Networks ceased operations today. Mobility, by all outward indications was doing as well as any similar company, with lots of blustery announcements and promises, and some actual traction. Founded in 1999, Mobility Networks had $30M in funding and some 30 staff. No executives were available to explain the company's demise. Let's hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
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
