“Mobile devices and applications have forever altered the way we do business, how people connect and how marketing-driven telecom operators will bundle their network packages in the future,” said Evan Kaplan, president and CEO at iPass. “There is a momentous change happening in how we interact and communicate in this increasingly real-time connected world where devices are cheap and networks are expensive. Wi-Fi is a key enabler of this transformation and we are only just beginning. iPass is truly the market maker at the core of global Wi-Fi disruption by providing both enterprise and telecom operators with interconnect and access to this fragmented but universal network.”

iPass Open Mobile Exchange.”
