Skift Take
A tiered Wi-Fi service is the best option for catering to a range of travelers who are willing to pay different amounts for a corresponding level of service.
Dubai Airports announced earlier this week that Boingo Wireless will become the exclusive Wi-Fi provider for Dubai International and Al Maktoum International airports.
A basic service will be available for free to the more than 66 million passengers that pass through the airports annually.
A second paid service will be available for travelers looking to stream video or upload large files.
Boingo currently provides Wi-Fi to more than 75 airports worldwide including Beijing Capital International, Tokyo International, and O’Hare International.
