Boingo qualifies for Olympics

Boingo Wireless has announced a partnership with OTEnet S.A., Greece’s leading Internet service provider, to support Wi-Fi connectivity offered at several locations in connection with the Summer Olympics, which are due to begin this Friday.

Users of the Boingo Roaming System will be able to use Wi-Fi access to connect at a dozen Wi-Fi locations throughout the country, including Athens International Airport, Macedonia National Airport and at several hotels and conference centers throughout Greece that are branded as OnWireless hotspots.

The offering also covers customers of Boingo’s carrier partners, including EarthLink, Fiberlink, Infonet Services Corp. and Telecom Italia, according to Boingo. Non-subscribers can also get access on a per-day basis for $7.95.

A complete list of the sites can be found via Boingo’s Web site, or OTEnet’s OnWireless service Web site. In addition, the new access locations will automatically be added to the directory built into Boingo and service provider client software.
