Wi-Fi Hotspot News

We hope you've all had a wonderful year. For those of your that didn't make it through, we're sorry to see you go. No doubt you'll be back with a vengeance soon; make sure you get in touch when you do.

It would be foolish to say that the year's been easy, plain sailing, a walk in the park. Lots of our customers have gone out of business or moved on. We've had to completely restructure our business, drop our prices and introduce a series of new Free Wi-Fi Packages. This time last year, 90% of our Wireless Hotspots were selling Internet Vouchers - now 90% are offering free Wi-Fi to their customers.

This has made us focus - it was time to shake things up a little. Converting lots of WiFi Hotspots to free ones had a massive impact on our business but now we have even more hotspots than ever. For every one we lost, we've added 5 more, mainly because of the popularity of our low cost, Free Wi-Fi Packages. We know we got it right because half the competition have borrow our prices (but not the service).

A few months ago we started PolkaSpots Web Solutions - your one stop shop for your online business needs. Online shop, blog, forum, website, CRM, booking and more. In the New Year, we'll be introducing some new bundles to make it even more worth your while to sign-up. Like everything we do, PolkaSpots Web is about service. We have so much experience and knowledge within the company, it's great to be finally offering it out to help other businesses grow. Keep your eyes peeled to see what we're doing in 2010.

Visiting Linknet / Macha Works in Zambia has changed my life completely. What a wonderful experience it was to put our skills and experience to work in one of the toughest environments on the planet. Despite the short trip, I've come away with many friends and everyone at PolkaSpots looks forward to helping you all achieve a truly connected Africa in years to come.

Despite the economy, we've doubled in size over the last few months. A very warm welcome to all of your that have started working with PolkaSpots - Nick, Liz, Lydia and Luis. A special thanks goes out to Michael Speechley for all his hard-work, commitment and genuine dedication to the company and cause.

ne last thanks has to go out to everyone at Pronto Networks - we couldn't have done it without your understanding, support and patience.

Hopefully 2010 will be a prosperous year for you all. Enjoy the Christmas Holidays!

Simon (the big scary boss).

PS. I didn't actually write this on Christmas Day; we have a clever little system thanks to PolkaSpots Web
