Helio Disconnecting EVDO/WiFi Service

Helio, while best known for bringing hot Korean phones to our shores, has also been offering a somewhat unique EVDO/Wi-Fi service for some time now called "Hybrid." It allowed users to connect to the 3G EVDO network, and when they found a Wi-Fi hotspot they would seamlessly switch over to that speedier connection. The service included a partnership with the Boingo Wi-Fi Network, which has 60,000 hotspots around the world, giving people a chance to boost their speed if they were near a Barnes & Noble or another place with one of their hotspots.

US Airliners to Get Wi-Fi Action by Next Year

Good news for Internet addicts who can't stand being disconnected while traveling 35,000 feet in the air. It looks like US airliners will finally offer Wi-Fi on flights starting next year.

There might be discounted options for T-Mobile, iPass and Boingo users, but there's no free ride here, folks. – Louis Ramirez More »

Stealing Skype - A How-To

This is an interesting little hack. It's not illegal, per se, because you're kind of performing a service for Boingo. However, it seems like quite a lengthy process just to get some free SkypeOut service. Apparently, if you buy the Linksys WRV54G and install special Boingo Firmware, you get a free account on Boingo thereby allowing you to use Skype for free (??). I don't have this router nor am I particularly excited about becoming a Boingo access point, so maybe it's not for me. But maybe it's for you, and that's why it's here. More »
