Trustive Launches European Flat-Rate Hotspot Access


AMSTERDAM, July 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- Unlimited Wi-Fi Access for the Mobile Professional and Small and 
Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs)

Trustive, Europe's leading wireless hotspot access provider, today
launched 'all you can eat' pricing for its customers. The 'Unlimited'
offering will deliver mobile professionals and SMEs flat rate Wi-Fi access to
its worldwide network. This covers most major European airports and many
other prime locations and includes over 30,000 hotspots, of which 23,000
hotspots are already available, with the remainder becoming accessible within
60 days.

For a monthly fee of EUR33 Trustive Unlimited enables individual
subscribers to use any of the company's affiliated hotspots for as long as
they want with no additional roaming charges or per-minute fees. Users also
have the flexibility to cancel their subscription by giving only one month's
notice. Trustive Unlimited Business provides SMEs with unlimited usage for a
flat-rate monthly fee of EUR150 per month split across five easy-to-manage
accounts. These can be shared between a company's entire mobile workforce as
required. An online management tool enables quick and simple administration
of the service and allows the company to easily monitor usage.

Trustive also continues to offer Trustive Pre-paid for a one-off fee of
EUR25 for the occasional hotspot user or those who do not want to sign up to
a subscription service. These accounts are valid for 12 months and the
service is utilised on a pay-per-second basis.

Bram Jan Streefland, co-founder and managing director of Trustive, said:
"We have always been determined to give our customers the best possible
service - that means delivering a consistently high quality service at a
competitive price and providing greater end-user choice. We believe we are
delivering on quality - our network already connects more than 70 of the best
networks, including The Cloud, SFR, KPN Hotspots and Vodafone Italia and it
is continuing to grow. Trustive Unlimited enables us to deliver on our goals
for price and extending choice. We expect to see keen interest from frequent
travellers that want to access the internet, email, and an increasing number
of new multimedia services."

Users can sign up to the service via www.trustive.com, where they can
register and download Trustive's end-user software. Although not a
pre-requisite for the use of the Trustive service, it enables users to easily
detect and gain secure one click access to the Trustive network of hotspots
anywhere in the world. The end-user interface also incorporates a unique
email tool, which enables messages to be sent from any hotspot, using their
existing email account even if SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) access is
blocked. This makes being unable to send emails from a hotspot a thing of the
past. Other key features include an instant account history and overview, and
VPN connectivity allowing users to access their organisation's corporate
network.

Already, in the first six months of 2007 Trustive has signed agreements
with free-hotspot.com, Wayport US and Wayport Europe, Vodafone Netherlands,
Vodafone Italia, The Cloud and 16 other hotspot operators to extend its
network.
