Web Hosting News – VANCOUVER, Wash. – Dotster, Inc., a leading provider of Internet business services, today announced that FreeFi Networks utilized Dotster’s web application development services to create m2go, an on-demand download service for airline travelers. FreeFi had an idea to further monetize its free, ad-supported Wi-Fi service by making movies and games available on-demand to travelers waiting to board airplanes. Rather than develop the application internally, FreeFi opted to work with Dotster, a trusted business partner, to leverage its resources and expertise in web development.

“We already have several airports using our free Wi-Fi service and sharing in advertising revenues; m2go was formed on a great, but simple idea to take advantage of that captive audience,” said Larry Laffer, executive director, FreeFi. “The execution of this idea was more challenging as travelers only have a limited amount of time during a layover or prior to boarding, and other online download services can take hours to download movie-length files or rely on continuous streaming that in-flight bandwidth can’t support. We needed expertise to quickly put our idea into action, and that’s when we turned to Dotster for web application development help.”
