AnchorFree launches ad network for free access
Wi-Fi Networking News, 11/27/2007
AnchorFree joins the gang of providers of free-via-ads Wi-Fi service. MetroFi is the best known of these players, although they shows ads from multiple sources (as I understand it) including JiWire, a company that I’ve worked for and provided advice for in the past. The size of the ad-supported Wi-Fi market is rather murky: are millions or tens of millions being spent per year? AnchorFree is focusing on hotspots; MetroFi on cities, although the news that came out of Portland a few weeks ago indicate MetroFi is still sorting out how to raise capital or produce revenue for its continuing network development in that city.
