Updating Ads By Wi-Fi
WiFi Networking News points out yet another way an airport is making use of WiFi that doesn't involve selling access to customers (though, WiFi access is also sold at this location). Apparently, at LaGuardia International Airport in NYC, WiFi is being used to send updated information to plasma display screens that offer advertising and travel information. This isn't all that revolutionary, but it's always good to see companies realizing that WiFi is about more than just selling access so people can surf the internet.
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
