Boingo becomes part of Centrino verification program: Boingo is the latest hot spot related firm to enter into the program that Intel is running to verify that a Centrino-equipped laptop can connect without fuss to a hot spot. Boingo's unique, as far as I know, in being a software developer that's having their software evaluated to determine whether it works correctly. I've heard from several operators and others that the Centrino verification has been useful: it's helped them troubleshoot flaws or missing pieces in their own networks, thus serving most users better--not just those using Centrino.
