Re: Monday, February 4, 2002
One of the attendee/presenters to MAC Mania has put me in contact with the people at Boingo, but so far nothing has happened. What we would like to do is this: get Boingo as a long term sponsor of the Geek Cruises 802.11b WIFI wireless Internet project aboard Holland America cruise ships, get the hotels used for the Geek Cruises pre-cruise cocktail parties to become Boingo hot sites, try to get Boingo hot sites set up at the ports of call Geek Cruises repeatedly visits in Alaska and the Caribbean, and whenever possible, book with Boingo serviced airports and hotels to and from Geek Cruises conferences. If Internet connectivity is the goal, linking all of these new WIFI hot spots into the business models Geek Cruises and MOUStech.NET, LLC are both evolving makes great sense. I think Boingo is charging way too much, around $75 per month for premium service, but as they get clients, that should come down, and as more WIFI networks spawn, access will become more like cell phones. This needs to become a $10-$15 per month service, but for that to happen, it requires a larger client base. When I get more info about what we may be doing with Boingo relative to Geek Cruises and MOUStech.NET, I'll post it.
