WirelessGate, Inc.

WirelessGate は、その価値提案が基地局ではなく、販売カウンター、公衆 WiFi 接続、WiMAX ルーター、旅行用 eSIM の決済から始まるため、日本の接続経済の興味深い試金石となっている。

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.
