FreeFi Networks announces the initial deployment of its nationwide network of free public wireless Internet, or Wi-Fi, hotspots.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 18, 2005 -- Woodland Hills, California-based FreeFi Networks announces the initial deployment of its nationwide network of free public wireless Internet, or Wi-Fi, hotspots. FreeFi offers qualified locations a fully managed wireless Internet hotspot at no cost to business owners or their customers. Target locations include shopping centers, hotels, airports, cafes, restaurants and municipal wireless Internet zones.

How do they provide the service for free? National advertising is delivered via the FreeFi Toolbar, a server-based application that launches a narrow, persistent band of content across the bottom of the users PC screen. Content includes national advertising, a nationwide localized city guide and downloadable media and games. FreeFi Networks patent-pending technology provides a unique method of displaying content while users are logged in to public hotspots. The FreeFi Toolbar appears only when the user is logged in at an affiliate location and is removed when they log out and does not utilize adware or spyware.

Participating businesses realize the benefits of offering customers free wireless Internet access, and gain a new revenue stream as FreeFi shares advertising revenue with their affiliates.

Several Togos Eateries, a division of Dunkin Brands, have begun to offer the FreeFi service in California. Franchisees Kelly Duarte and Greg Woepse are running the FreeFi service in their Los Angeles and Orange county stores. Weve had our own hotspots for a while but signed on with FreeFi since it gives us a nice way to promote our business. Customers use the wireless in our own restaurants and at nearby locations like Starbucks next door." says Mr. Duarte.

The only requirement for businesses wishing to take advantage of FreeFis zero-cost program is a broadband Internet connection. FreeFi offers a fully managed hotspot solution to for no out-of-pocket cost, only a small fully refundable security deposit" says FreeFi President Larry Laffer. Its another option for business owners considering offering Wi-Fi as a valuable amenity with zero cost or risk."
