"One of the most frequently asked questions from our customers is: 'Why don't you have free WiFi at Logan?' said Thomas J. Kinton Jr., CEO & Executive Director of Massport. "Well, we are pleased to be able to now say 'We do!' "
A secure WiFi system was installed through out the airport six years
ago at a cost of several million dollars. The charge of $7.95 for the
service allowed the investment to be recovered. For the next two years,
Massport will continue its partnership with service provider, Advanced
Wireless Group, and the free WiFi will be supported by advertising and
sponsorship programs.
During the two month period when free WiFi was available as part of a
Google sponsorship, use of the network increased nearly six-fold. Users
who did not subscribe to a roaming service viewed a Google promotional
page be fore accessing the Internet. Under the new system, roaming
subscribers will get access and those using the free service will view
advertising before accessing the Internet.
