T-Mobile Does A Bit Of Roaming
While every other WiFi hotspot provider has been shoving each other aside to try to figure out the best roaming deals ("Wayport, please step into my office..."), T-Mobile has stayed pretty quiet on the subject preferring to build out their own hotspots at Starbucks and Borders around the country. They've admitted that they needed to do some sort of roaming deal, but were waiting until the situation was right. Well, now they've finally signed a roaming deal with iPass, which will open up more business users. It's pretty clear that T-Mobile is realizing that, for now, business users are about the only people they can expect to pony up a bit of cash to use their hotspots.
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.
