Wifi Revolution

A Boingo Kiosk has been opened at the O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, allowing customers to charge their computers and cell phones, print color documents before they get on the plane, get online or receive a free pass to get online through their personal laptops.

 

Travelers will be able to get on the Internet to read and respond to emails for work, video chat with family, or resolve human resource issues while on the way to a meeting or conference. Boingo provides easy accessibility to the Internet while at the airport, hotel, coffee shop, restaurant, or café in Chicago and other cities. The service is extremely useful to all kinds of travelers whether they are in transit on business or for pleasure.

 

The Boingo kiosk is located in Terminal 2 and can be easily accessed from Terminals 1 and 3. Services at the Boingo kiosk will be available until June 26.
