"A global Wi-Fi network is fundamental to Skype's business to support our large and growing subscriber base that use Skype products for video calling, IP voice and instant messaging", said Todd Haugen, General Manager of Skype WiFi. "Partnering with iPass was an obvious choice as they have the largest commercial Wi-Fi network by far, with access to over 1.2 million hotspots across 124 countries and territories. Incorporating the iPass global network with Skype Wi-Fi had an immediate positive impact, increasing both service utilization and customer satisfaction. The iPass Open Mobile Exchange (OMX) business model makes for a perfect partnership, allowing Skype to focus on our core product offers."
"Skype's phenomenal success in growing a global user base, and now its partnership with iPass, emphasizes how critical Wi-Fi is to the mobile data ecosystem," said Evan Kaplan, president and CEO of iPass. "Wi-Fi is now the consumer's choice for wireless network access, accounting for up to 85 percent of total smartphone-originated data traffic. iPass will enhance the Skype Wi-Fi service by providing quality hotspots in more locations around the world than ever before, and this is a big win for the consumer."
