MCI is nearly doubling its Wireless Internet Access footprint by expanding its hotspot coverage in the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific, building on its existing 6,200 global hotspots, including hotels, major airports, restaurants and convention centers in 23 countries. The expanded Wi-Fi network is the result of enhanced coverage agreement through Boingo Wireless. MCI’s new hotspots will primarily be located in the U.S., U.K. Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Greece, Singapore and the Philippines. Businesses will have immediate access to more than 1,300 European and Asia-Pacific hotspots with an additional 3,400 U.S. Wi-Fi hotspots coming online in May.
