HubbaDubba Internet Services

Since wifi hotspots began appearing a few years ago, two things have become perfectly clear:

• Customers want free internet access at cafes and other publics places
  
• Offering free access means putting up with non-customers taking up seats

Now HubbaDubba Internet Services can setup and maintain a system that gives proprietors an easy way to control exactly who accesses the internet and for just how long. Not only can you offer free internet access at your establishment, but in most cases, providing this service won't cost you a dime!

Here's how it works:

• When a customer opens their laptop computer and attempts to connect to the internet, a "captive portal" page appears asking them to enter a user name and password.
  
• HubbaDubba provides the establishment with pre-printed business cards, each with a unique user name and password combination.
  
• The length of time the cards are worth (for example- 60 minutes) and under what circumstances people can receive one (for example- any purchase of $2.50 or more) is predetermined by the establishment.
  

That's all there is to it!

Benefits of being a HubbaDubba WiFi Hotspot

There's no doubt about it- becoming a HubbaDubba Wifi Hotspot raises your establishment's profile and sales. Because HubbaDubba's primary business is providing internet access to residential and office buildings, we offer something no other hotspot management service can provide- access to potential customers right in your neighborhood. When your establishment joins the HubbaDubba network, you join a thriving neighborhood community.

Here are some of the benefits of joining:

• Free advertising for your establishment in our Hotspot Directory (optimized for Google search robots! People searching Google for free internet will see your business listed)
• A Dedicated HubbaDubba Forum (on our online bulletin board) for your establishment- with a friendly review of your establishment always listed at the top of the page! A simple way for people to interact with you or each other, and plug for your business to local residents and ofcie workers.
  
• Control over the "captive portal" It's hard to "over-sell" what this offers your business. You can have us transmit a simple "message of the day" to customers when they login for internet access, or we can let you or one of your employees control what customers see when they log on to the internet at your establishment. For instance, you can become an amateur movie reviewer or create a blog for each of your employees so customers can get to know you better- whatever you want to use it for, we can help you do it!
  

Sounds Great- But How Much Does it Cost?

Do you already have a dsl or cable internet for your back office and/or credit card terminal? Then becoming a HubbaDubba hotspot won't cost you one dime! We only make two requests of our hotspot neighbors:

• You pay for the cost of the DSL or cable internet service at your location. This can range from $15 to $50 each month depending on the service plan you choose. We'll help you choose a plan.
  
• Because our business is built around managing building-wide internet access for residential and commercial properties, we ask that you waive time limits for HubbaDubba's residential and office customers from buildings located in your neighborhood. (Don't worry- it will get those locals into your establishment- and they'll be reminded to make a purchase.)
  

What's in it for HubbaDubba?

It may sound too good to be true, but there's a good reason we offer this service for free. We're not just building a business- we're building a neighborhood-based community. Anyone can setup an internet bulletin board and call it a "community" but it's the local cafes, bars, restaurants and other public places like yours that truly make a "neighborhood" so, to put it simply we need you!
