, Jul 27th 2009 Discuss [0]

This way, you'll be able to access Verizon DSL or FiOS services at any Boingo hotspot for free. It's not clear at the moment if this freebie deal will be available internationally, but the U.S. is a definite. This helps to level the playing field a bit between Verizon and other carriers like AT&T who have already expanded their Wi-Fi hotspot coverage considerably beyond the traditional locations like Starbucks.
