Trustive signs a 3-years WiFi bilateral roaming agreement with SFR

Amsterdam, Paris - 12 June 2006

In a move that strengthens roaming access among Europe's WiFi networks, the Trustive network, the continent's leading hotspot aggregator, has been chosen by SFR, France's second largest mobile operator, to complete integration of a bilateral roaming agreement.

Under terms of the agreement, SFR and its customers now have fully-branded access to the Trustive network with more than 8,000 hotspots worldwide.

At the same time, Trustive solidified its position of strength in European WiFi. Trustive Retail customers, and Trustive Wholesale partners, now have WiFi access to SFR's 300-plus prime French WiFi hotspots which include Toulouse and Bâle-Mulhouse Airports, Best Western and Exclusive hotels, the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, as well as Europe's leading business district, Paris La Defense.

"WiFi in France has grown exponentially in the last three years, and we believe SFR has one of the best footprints of French public spaces," said Trustive Managing Director Gavin Dresselhuis. "In our partners we look for market leaders and SFR is la crème de la crème of French WiFi."

The inclusion of the Trustive network in SFR's roaming partners, increases their hotspot network to more than 30 000 Hotspots available to SFR customers.

"SFR is happy to join the WiFi leaders that comprise the Trustive virtual network," said Frederic Bruneteau, SFR's Director of WiFi Marketing. "With the Trustive solution we can provide the same branded end user experience all across the entire Trustive network."
