WirelessGate, Inc.

WirelessGate constitue un test intéressant de l'économie de la connectivité japonaise, car sa proposition de valeur commence au comptoir de vente, à la connexion WiFi publique, au routeur WiMAX et au paiement d'une eSIM de voyage, plutôt qu'à une antenne relais.

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.
