p2pnet - rss feed: ISP for cars
p2pnet.net News:- Want to turn your car into a Wi-Fi Hotspot? Autonet Mobile, billing itself as “the first Internet Service Provider for cars,” says it can make that happen —— for $50 a month.
The $400 unit will hook into any Wi-Fi-enabled device close to the vehicle, says AutoChannelNews. Just use a cigarette lighter or standard wall plug, it says.
“The company also plans to announce an agreement with a world leading car rental company to offer a portable, wireless Internet service by the end of the first quarter,” Autonet Mobile states.
Passengers will be able to check their email, surf, game or communicate via any WiFi-enabled device, says the company, promising the service will work on 95% of US roads, “regardless of driving conditions or location”.
“Autonet Mobile’s patent pending TRU Technology enables seamless Internet connectivity so that passengers stay connected while driving,” says the story.
