WirelessGate, Inc.

WirelessGate ist ein interessanter Test für die Ökonomie der japanischen Konnektivität, da sein Wertversprechen am Verkaufstresen, am öffentlichen WiFi-Zugang, am WiMAX-Router und an der Bezahlung einer Reise-eSIM beginnt, nicht an einem Mobilfunkmast.

WirelessGate is a useful test of Japanese connectivity economics because its customer proposition begins at the shop counter, the public Wi-Fi login, the WiMAX router and the travel eSIM checkout rather than at a tower site. The company sells convenience around networks built and operated by larger carriers and Wi-Fi owners; the margin depends on whether that convenience is still worth paying for when wholesale access, Wi-Fi offload, online acquisition and customer churn move against it.
