Sky-Nets Ltd. said it has created a new Wi-Fi hotspot network that will serve the general aviation community with free secured wireless Internet access in fixed-base operators (FBOs) at airports throughout the United States. The hotspot network will be funded by sponsors, allowing Sky-Nets to provide pre-configured hotspot equipment to participating FBOs at no charge, as well as free access to users.
Sky-Nets is currently pursuing founding sponsors in order to go live and start deploying hotspots at FBOs. The Sky-Nets Wi-Fi Hotspot Network is scheduled to begin deployment in early 2007.
