Project #1: SAMPLE • World's largest WiFi advertising network • Consumers expect WiFi access to be free and are willing to watch an ad in exchange. Advertisers want access to mobile customers. WiFi network operators need to monetize their assets, even if access is free. • Partners/customers include: AT&T (Starbucks), Boingo (airports), Wayport (hotels) • Operate an advertising network allowing consumers to get free access in cafes, airports, hotels, and in public WiFi settings. Charge high CPMs to advertisers, and share the revenue with network operators. • Build a proprietary database using location based information to target ads and justify higher CPMs • Include other types of locations (transit), other types of non-PC devices (iPhone) • Proprietary database of networks and hotspots includes open sites as well as carrier-subscription sites; ad targeting system; company already owns its IP • How many locations would make this the standard? • Are there sufficient barriers to competition? • Will telecom alternatives (cellular) limit WiFi's growth? • WiFi is still growing rapidly, Jiwire is already dominating this space, and capital requirements remain fairly low x
