WORLD’S LARGEST WIFI NETWORK FON SELECTS MOPAY AS MOBILE PAYMENT
METHOD

Agreement Enables Smartphone Users to Easily Access the Fon WiFi Network
Using Mobile Payments

mopay,
a global leader in innovative payment solutions for online merchants,
today announced worldwide cooperation with Fon,
the world’s largest WiFi network. By enabling mopay mobile payments, Fon
makes it easy for smartphone or tablet users who have limited (3G/4G) or
no Internet access to quickly purchase an access pass to its WiFi
network. These users can now connect at over three-million Fon hotspots
simply by providing their mobile phone number.

Fon is the largest WiFi community in the world, with over three-million
WiFi hotspots and over six-million users. The idea behind Fon is to
share a small part of your home Internet access with fellow Fon members
and in return get free access to other members’ WiFi when on the road.
Non-members can also use Fon hotspots but have to purchase passes to
gain access. In addition to offering standard payment methods such as
credit card and PayPal, Fon chose mopay to include a mobile payment
option.

Alex Puregger, COO, VP of business development of Fon said:

“Today, people want to watch videos and play games on their smartphones
and tablets. WiFi offers the best user experience for that. At Fon, we
give people more opportunities to connect to WiFi, and getting them
connected seamlessly is key. While Fon access is free for sharing
members, non-sharing members buy WiFi passes to connect. mopay helps us
make that payment process quick and easy. Already, nearly half of the
people who buy access to Fon do so via mopay. We’re happy to partner
with mopay to improve the user experience.”

Kolja Reiss, managing director of mopay Inc. said:

“Although well established in online gaming, mobile payments are still a
rather new payment method to most industries. mopay is a major driver in
tapping into novel areas of operation. Our partnership with Fon shows
that, once you start to think outside the box, there are uncountable
scenarios where mobile payments significantly improve the shopping
experience.”

With mopay, smartphone and tablet users near Fon hotspots can buy a Fon
Pass simply by providing a mobile phone number at login. The charge is
billed directly to the respective phone account, no registration is
required. Customers can choose between a 25-minute pass and a one-hour
pass. Pricing begins at $1.50.
