Time Warner Cable spreads its Wi-Fi wings with Boingo deal

Now that Time Warner Cable has it made it easier for customers to access its Wi-Fi hotspot networks with its recent upgrade to Hotspot 2.0, and it’s starting to expand its wireless coverage with roaming deals.

It’s now signed a new roaming deal with wireless ISP Boingo, giving it access to its network of hotspots in busy US transit hubs, including airports, train stations and even New York City subway platforms. The deal is reciprocal, meaning Boingo’s wireless customers can access TWC’s 32,000-node hotspot network, built in commercial corridors and other highly trafficked areas throughout its cable territory. TWC broadband customers won’t get access to Boingo’s entire hotspot footprint, just travel hubs in about 100 US locations.
