Boingo secures Series B Funding: $10M: Questions are often raised about whether Boingo will be successful. We don't know the answer to that, especially with early investor Sprint PCS choosing to derive their aggregator software from iPass's Connect product instead of Boingo's software. But there's no doubt Boingo has staying power. The company reports having raised $30 million since inception, and have money to finance themselves until 2006.
The question now is with money in the bank, can they more aggressively convince telecom partners that the Boingo platform is the right one to move forward on with cell/Wi-Fi roaming/single bill capability? T-Mobile said yes months ago; we're waiting to see the fruits of that collaboration. SBC and Cingular are the likely next target.
Now, where's that Mac OS X software?
