The Growing Cloud Over Europe
London-based WiFi operator The Cloud is becoming a formidable company. This week it announced its acquisition of NetCheckiN (NCI), a German WiFi operator. This coincided with its closing of its third round of funding - bringing its total investment to over EUR20M - with existing investors, 3i and Accel.
In contrast to the US, where telcos are actively fighting free municipal hot-spots, free WiFi access in Europe is the norm. Public spaces operated by governments and private companies are almost expected to offer WiFi.
The Cloud currently has wide area outdoor coverage in nine cities in the UK, with deployments in rail stations, hotels, airports, universities and parks. For example, The Cloud provides service to the 100 acre Cannery Project in London. The Cloud will also use the funds to build on its existing presence in Germany and Sweden.
