Wi-Fi provider Boingo
has teamed up with internet telephony pioneer
Skype to promote its
wireless hotspots as voice over IP sites.
Called Skype Zones the locations will offer discounted Wi-Fi access to Skype
customers. Boingo has 18,000 sites worldwide.
In the US the service will cost £4.50 per month or £2 for two hours during
the current test phase. Boingo's unlimited data service costs £14 per month.
Users will have to download and install the Skype Zones client software
available from the Skype
Store or the Boingo
website.
Mark Blowers, senior analyst at
Butler Group, told
vnunet.com: "We are going to see more of
this. Skype is very innovative and it is logical that they would extend services
beyond the desktop like this.
"I think we will see others do this soon too. It is clearly a growing threat
to mobile and fixed line carriers."
