Megabeam Rolls Out Euro Wlan Network


Recommended Posts

Megabeam, the pan-European wireless Internet service provider, has set the pricing for its WLAN hotspot service for the first time. Subscriptions bought directly will start at ?7.5 for two hours' access. Twenty-four hour access will cost ? 30 (approx. ?19).

As you can see from the pricing, Megabeam is targeting the business traveller only. Megabeam is offering introductory pricing on all other subscription packages (which come without roaming charges) purchased until March 31, 2003. Seven-day and monthly subscriptions carry a 25 per cent discount and are available for ? 48.75 (approx. ?31) and ? 86.25 respectively.

Customers buying annual packages (costing ?1020) will receive two years for the price of one, and have the opportunity to secure an additional 10 per cent discount for full payment in advance. The company's resellers will publish their own prices. Megabeam is building a network of 802.11b WLAN hotspots around Europe and aims to sell wholesale to system integrators, fixed line telcos and mobile operators. The company is also marketing its services direct to corporates, where it argues subscribing to its wireless LAN services provides remote cheaper access than GPRS or hotel dial up charges for businessmen on the move.
