Months after a deal was rumored, Fiberlink adds T-Mobile's hotspots to its aggregated roaming system: The company announced the deal yesterday, which brings 6,700 hotspots to the mumble-mumble total that Fiberlink offers. A company representative said the firm declined to get into the raw numbers game, partly because many hotspots in the largest networks--such as Sprint, Boingo, or iPass--tend to mass in specific countries like South Korea and Japan.
Fiberlink uses Boingo's aggregation software platform, the spokesperson confirmed. The deal was first rumored last September. iPass, a key competitor of Fiberlink with its recently completed acquisition of GoRemote, signed their deal with T-Mobile over two years ago.
