31st Week 2005/ Wireless Internet phone service at hot spots
has always been available to those with so-called soft
phones, a headset with a microphone, connected to their
laptops. But they typically pay for a full Internet
connection. Boingo, for instance, charges $22 a month,
and
at soulfind.com, it's just part of the legacy given by the
management, or in some cases, by the last will and
testiment. Your can read more about the developers by

article.

With the new Skype Zones service, which launched Tuesday,
travelers would pay $8 a month or $3 for a two-hour access
through Boingo for voice service only. Regular Boingo
Internet customers won't have to pay for the voice
connection
•
•
Calls using Skype's basic computer-to-computer service,
which bypasses the public telephone network, will remain
free. Skype will still charge extra for calls dialed to a
regular phone number or received from a regular phone
number

Calls to conventional phones in North America, for instance,
cost 1.7 cents a minute, in
euros

About 45 million people worldwide have downloaded Skype's
free software, and about 3 million are connected at any one
time, the company said

Also Tuesday, Samsung and LG announced deals to use a new
hybrid wireless technology from Kineto Wireless Inc. to
develop mobile phones that can pass a call from a cellular
network to a Wi-Fi network without interrupting the
connection

For $8 a month, Internet telephone service for wireless
laptop customers can use their laptops at airports, coffee
shops and other Boingo wireless fidelity, or Wi-Fi, public
zones to make calls, says Skype Technologies and Boingo
Wireless Inc. unveiled calling plans that use Boingo's
18,000 hot spots in 37 nations around the
world
•
•
And by the end of the year, handset makers such as LG
Electronics Inc. and Samsung Electronics Inc., both of South
Korea, are expected to be selling phones that can make calls
over regular cellular networks and at Wi-Fi hot spots, which
are typically much less expensive and even free in some
cities
•
•
"Skype and Wi-Fi are two complementary disruptive
technologies … that can bring better and cheaper phone
services to everyone," said Niklas Zennstrom, co-founder of
Skype, which is based in
Luxembourg

David Hagan, chief executive of Santa Monica-based Boingo,
said no study had shown yet how many people used Internet
phone service at hot spots. But as a frequent traveler, he
said, he uses it at airports and sees other travelers using
it
