AMSTERDAM -- Trustive, Europe's leading wireless hotspot access provider, today announced the launch of its new consumer service to provide seamless hotspot connectivity for business travellers and other mobile workers.

According to ABI Research, the number of commercial Wi-Fi hotspots grew by 47% worldwide in 2006 (1). However, up until now many hotspot users have faced the frustrations of multiple logins, limited coverage from a single provider, and even being unable to send email. Trustive's service addresses these problems by offering seamless wireless hotspot access to people on the move through a unified global network of hotspots.

The Trustive network covers more than 20,000 hotspots, connecting 60 of the best networks across Europe, including The Cloud, SFR, KPN Hotspots and Vodafone Italia. Trustive customers can access some of the prime wireless locations across Europe, including coverage at all major EU airports.

To sign up to the service users need to visit www.trustive.com. Here, users can register and download Trustive's newly-released HotSpotter, which is a clever piece of software that enables users to easily detect Trustive hotspots and provides secure one-click access to the network.

Bram Jan Streefland, co-founder and managing director of Trustive, said: "Today's business traveller is demanding seamless Wi-Fi access wherever they are in the world. By signing up with Trustive, customers can enjoy an enhanced hotspot user experience.

"Our per second pricing also means that users can avoid the frustration of burning minutes unnecessarily. For example, at an airport you may only want wireless access for 10 minutes to check some emails, but often you are only presented with the option to purchase a 60 minute voucher which is only valid for a limited amount of time."
