Mike, Perhaps some of the listeners can share some other statistics. We are trying to evaluate the business case for some hotspot locations, and would like to know how much revenue to expect from roaming user. By roaming, I mean users that are not our direct clients, but rather Boingo, IPAS, NNU, Pronto, or others. Seems like the $1+ revenue share advertised by these roaming partners can play a factor in our analysis. Any insights would be helpful.
