Wi-Fi Provider Skyroam Launches Airport Rental Kiosks With Hot Spots

Wi-Fi provider Skyroam announced the launch of airport vending machines from ZoomSystems that dispense pocket-size global Wi-Fi hot spots for travelers. Consumers can rent a hot spot with unlimited global service in more than 100 countries for $9.95 per day and mail it back to the company in a prepaid envelope when they return home. The service provides coverage for multiple users, said Skyroam. The first vending machines are available at San Francisco International Airport with more due later this month at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport and Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Skyroam is also available for purchase online ($99) at skyroam.com. For a limited time, the purchase price includes three free 24-hour global Wi-Fi day passes ($8 value), said Skyroam.
