"More businesses are recognizing the value of offering free managed wireless Internet access versus fee-based service," says Greg Skinner, President of ACJ. "Paying for access at one location that doesn't work at another location can get expensive. While there's a cost to offering access for free, if used in conjunction with a purchase, this service can pay for itself in addition to growing a loyal customer base.
