FatPort, which bills itself as Canada's largest Wi-Fi provider (a dubious claim given there are few rivals) is now selling pre-paid cards through retailers such as Best Buy, Future Shop, London Drugs and Wireless Wave. The cards can be used at more than 300 FatPort hotspots. While FatPort gets credit for trying something new, its long-term prospects are, at best, modest given Telus Mobility, Rogers Wireless and Bell Mobility have joined forces to push Wi-Fi service through a common branding campaign and expansion into 500 HotSpots. At the end of the day, I believe Wi-Fi will thrive as a low-price option offered by wireless service providers. Sure, there may be room for FatPort or a Boingo but they are likely destined to be marginal players.
