Stoke & Trustive Launch Survey on Mobile Data Usage
Mobile Broadband Users Are Invited to Participate at http://tinyurl.com/msmqeh

SANTA CLARA, CA and LONDON--(Marketwire - July 22, 2009) - As part of their ongoing
research to improve the mobile data experience, WiFi Internet access
provider Trustive (http://www.trustive.com) and mobile broadband gateway
developer Stoke, Inc. (http://www.stoke.com) invite business travelers and
people using data services outside their home network to take a brief
survey.
"Mobile operators currently target their services primarily on local or
domestic customers and subscribers who move outside of the operator's
coverage area are basically on their own," said Barry Hill, vice president
of sales and marketing at Stoke. "Our research shows that for traveling
data users, getting access to wireless broadband coverage involves repeated
web browser logins and paying for different accounts. Our new survey will
help to highlight the real-world issues in mobile usage."
Stoke and Trustive recently formed a partnership to research new technology
architectures and business models that will facilitate a seamless mobile
broadband data experience for an increasingly mobile workforce.
"Trustive is working with Stoke to combine our technologies to provide the
frequent international traveler with the same seamless wireless broadband
experience regardless of whether that wireless access is local or at an
airport hotspot three time zones away," said Christian VanGhelder, managing
director of Trustive. "The success of the iPhone and other devices that
allow access through WiFi and 3G have focused attention on the future of
mobile data traffic. We hope that users will share their opinions on how
this future will be shaped."
