JiWire on Leading Edge of Mobile Broadband Advertising
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23, 2007 - JiWire, the leading mobile broadband advertising network, announced today that it has been named to the annual FierceBroadbandWireless "Fierce 15" list, designating it as one of the top mobile broadband companies of the year. FierceBroadbandWireless editors Lynnette Luna and Sue Marek evaluated hundreds of organizations, and found JiWire to be one of the "fiercest," proven by their market success and innovations in the industry.
JiWire sells and delivers Ads for Access™ on over 20 Wi-Fi networks operated by major hotels, airports, cafes and municipalities. JiWire offers advertising that is displayed to Internet users before, during and after network authentication. The advertising is delivered in cutting-edge formats, including Ultramercials®, which are patented, interactive advertisements that Wi-Fi network users may elect to view in exchange for free network access, advertisements on screens displayed before and after a user logs into the Wi-Fi network, and advertising that appears while a Wi-Fi network user is browsing the Internet.
