Phenomenal Growth Indicative of Widespread Open Wi-Fi and Social Networking Phenomena

Delaware, USA, June 12, 2008: WeFi Inc. (www.wefi.com), creator of the first open, community-based global Wi-Fi network, announced that it has reached a milestone of one million discovered Wi-Fi access points which have been recognized and classified by WeFi. In just over two years since the company was founded, the phenomenal growth is indicative of the surge in open Wi-Fi use worldwide, as well as the widespread social networking phenomenon. Spread through WeFi’s consistently growing user community, new Wi-Fi access points have been added by the WeFi software on members’ devices at an increasingly growing average rate, recently reaching over 10 new access points every minute..

WeFi brings open Wi-Fi communication to everyone and everywhere with free, easy-to-use downloadable software that enables automatic connection to the best Wi-Fi hotspot around. Members of the WeFi community are invited to map out open hotspots in any given location around the world, forming an aggregate picture of all the available Wi-Fi connections.

WeFi has also proved itself to be at the head the global social networking trend, as the first of its kind in enabling real-time location sharing with your friends, anywhere and everywhere around the world through their Wi-Fi connection. Users can locate each other on the WeFi global map and send them messages, share photos and much more. WeFi recently launched a mash-up with Twitter, and is also available on Facebook and via Windows Mobile.

“Hitting the one-million hotspot mark is an accomplishment we’re extremely proud of,” said Zur Feldman, CEO of WeFi. “Combining open Wi-Fi with social networking to build a global community that is for the people, by the people, WeFi has been successful in being able to give our users the ability to add hotspots themselves and to share them with others. This remarkable milestone proves that the word about social Wi-Fi is quickly spreading, and we project that the trend will only intensify as more and more people realize the tremendous potential of free wireless communications anytime, anywhere. WeFi stands strong as the leader of this phenomenon and will continue to work toward our vision of creating a seamless network aggregating all Wi-Fi access points worldwide.”
