The amount of activity in the HotSpot space is impressive. However, setting up a HotSpot requires some technical knowledge and most venue owners and even some HotSpot operators have no idea about rigorously architecting networks for quality of service and reliability.

Furthermore, many businesses and entrepreneurs that want to offer wireless highspeed Internet access to their customers have little experience with the technical side of networking and most cannot afford a to hire a consultant. For those businesses, one of the "turnkey kits" that are on the market may be just what the "tech doctor ordered." The technical expertise required to deploy one of these kits is minimal. In fact, most are designed with the small business owner in mind.

Now that you've reviewed some options for HotSpot/FreeSpot deployment, it's time to develop your rollout plans and put them into action.
