- NetZero, a 4G mobile broadband provider, is hoping to attract users to its hotspots by giving away free wireless data on its new Facebook app. Users with any NetZero subscription — even the free 200MB/month plan — can sign up to give Facebook friends free data.
- “Its new Data Share program lets those who own the company’s WiMAX devices give away up to 1GB of data every month through Facebook, spread across five friends at 200MB each,” reports Engadget. “Apart from needing NetZero hardware in a coverage area, there’s no financial strings attached — neither the sender nor the recipient needs to adopt more than the free, 200MB per month they already have just for showing up.”
- “Subscribers are not required to sign a contract, can join on a month-to-month basis, can cancel at any time, and can upgrade their data plan at will without facing overage charges,” the press release states.
- New subscribers who purchase one of NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband devices — the NetZero 4G Stick or the NetZero 4G Hotspot — have the option of testing the service for free up to a year. The company is offering a promotional half-off sale for devices this month.
- “The real dilemma is managing just who gets the data in the 4G provider’s first come, first served approach to the sharing link that hits friends’ social news feeds,” Engadget suggests.
