The focus of the commercial is to raise the awareness of AirRover as a leader in the Wi-Fi Hotspot industry. In a recent interview the company discussed its goal to become one of the largest Wi-Fi providers in the industry.

Wi-Fi technology has enabled companies and businesses to be more productive in and out of the office. Hotels who are aggressively installing Wi-Fi are the mid-priced chains such as Marriott International (NYSE NYSE

IHG Iris Hypoplasia with Glaucoma
) and Wyndham International (AMEX AMEX

:WBR). The advantage to using Wi-Fi is that it gives business travelers more mobility and flexibility. Instead of being confined to your hotel room and tied to a cable modem, guests can work from a sofa in a Wi-Fi "hot spot," which are areas that allow high-speed wireless Internet access.

The editorial will be brought to life with two seminars at the Forbes Galleries in New York and Silicon Valley hosted by its publisher, Rich Karlgaard. The seminar will feature a discussion panel of industry leaders, strategic break out sessions and guest editors. Some of the editors expected to participate are Steve Forbes and Steve Baldwin.
