iPass now offers access to 11,179 WiFi hotspots in 33 countries. The company said that reaching 10,000 hotspots is a landmark for the industry that took 27 months to achieve and required negotiating agreements with well over 100 network providers. In addition to Wi-Fi, iPass also operates one of the largest footprints of wired broadband (Ethernet) service at more than 1,500 hotels worldwide, as well as dial-up Internet, ISDN, GSM and PHS (a 2.5 G service in Asia). http://www.ipass.com
