February 8, 2005

PLANTATION, Fla. - Transnet, through its local distributor, Masscot Wireless, has expanded its growing list of Wi-Fi hotspots by adding three wireless Internet kiosks in the Cape Cod, Mass. area. Two area hotels and the "Café at the Airport" located in Hyannis' Barnstable Municipal Airport, Massachusetts' third-busiest airport, now boast wireless Internet access, according to a news release.

Transnet Wireless is establishing a national network of Wi-Fi Hot Spots through an innovative private local distributorship program in which the Hot Spot equipment is placed in locations at no cost to the location owner. The hardware, maintenance and monthly Internet connection fees are all paid for by the local distributor, who profits from usage fees. A percentage of the revenues are also shared with the location.

"Securing presence at Barnstable Airport is a major step in making Transnet Wireless a significant provider on the cape." said Brad Cartwright, Transnet Wireless president. "With Masscot's aggressive marketing and expansion plans, we aim to become the premier Wi-Fi provider on the area."
