Our hotspots are pretty cool and people are always asking about details… you know… money!

I figured it would be a good idea to show some of our cards (poker analogy) so that people can get an idea of how much money there is to be made by operating hotspots.

Lets take the modest (but real) example of a hotspot operated by one of our customers in a house with some boarders. In April the boarders used almost 4 gigabytes of data earning the operator of the hotspot R525 commission. Considering the hotspot operator’s total monthly costs were only R199 (Including the ADSL line) he walked away with R326 profit. The particular hotspot operator used about 2 gigabytes of data for his personal use in April which only cost him R138. In the end he got Free Internet and R188 in his back pocket.

This scales quite nicely though. We have another hotspot that in April moved 33 gigabytes… That one hotspot made the operator almost R4,500 and that operator has quite a few hotspots.

The other interesting thing about the hotspot business model is our Hotspot Agents. A Hotspot Agent is an entrepreneurial individual who introduces new Hotspot Operators to the Frogfoot Wifi Network. He identifies new operators, helps them understand the Hotspot business model and gets them to order their Hotspots through him. By simply acting as matchmakers they make 20% of the profits. You can read more about this on the Hotspot Agent page.

There’s lots of other questions that people always seem to ask so I also put together a FAQ (frequently asked questions) list.
