IN BRIEF: MCI ADDS THOUSANDS OF WIRELESS HOTSPOTS

MCI on Tuesday launched 1,300 new Wi-Fi hotspots in Europe and the Asia/Pacific region, and will launch 3,400 hotspots in the U.S. in May. In addition to typical Wi-Fi locations such as airports and hotels, the MCI expansion will bring hotspots to new places that MCI customers requested, including cafes, bookstores, and business service centers. The Wi-Fi service is part of an MCI service for medium-size and large businesses called Remote Access Services, which includes dial-up, virtual private network connections. The MCI service includes a software package that connects users to the Internet using the connection of their choice. While other carriers offer Wi-Fi access, MCI's service ties Wi-Fi, dial-up, and broadband wired access together in one package. MCI customers don't need a separate subscription to multiple wireless providers for Wi-Fi access. The MCI service includes an unlimited Wi-Fi plan for $40 a month as an add-on to dial-up service. A time-based plan charges $8 an hour for the first hour, with a maximum of $15 a day.
