StarHub, in association with iPass and GRIC, has revealed its 180,000 square meter hotspot in Suntec City. It looks like the business model will be a simple WISP model with roaming offered through iPASS and GRIC, but Wong Ah Long, the CEO of Suntec City Development is looking at it as a springboard, stating that the 802.11 public network will serve as a ‘backbone’ for Suntec City to explore the integration of General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) and 3G technologies as well.
