San Francisco (CA) - JiWire, a company specializing in supplying advertisements in exchange for wireless Internet access, announced today it has opened up its service to the iPhone and iPod Touch.
The announcement comes from the Macworld Convention in San Francisco. JiWire operates in over 100,000 hotspots across the country, including airports, cafes, and hotels.
Flagship sponsors that will deliver advertising specifically to the iCrowd are Charles Schwab and HBO, among others. The service is called "ads for access" and users will need to agree to the company's terms to tap into the wireless network.
