BOLDstreet Launches Registered Sales Agent Program to Further Extend Wi-Fi Availability and Service Offerings to Businesses Throughout Canada

BOLDstreet Wireless Internet, Canada's premier public access wireless Internet service provider, announced a Registered Sales Agent (RSA) program to increase adoption of Wi-Fi applications and usage throughout Canada. The BOLDstreet RSA program is the second phase of BOLDstreet's successful national Wi-Fi ISP partner program and advances the company's strategy to build and deliver comprehensive and transparent wireless services to users.

The BOLDstreet RSA program is designed to help ISPs more easily sell and deploy new wireless service applications to their customers, generate new revenues and open new market segments. ISPs will have BOLDstreet RSAs selling their services to new customers, allowing the ISPs to focus on offering profitable, value-added services based on specific needs and market opportunities. The BOLDstreet RSA program also benefits businesses looking to increase their service offerings with Wi-Fi hotspots, providing them with flexibility to choose the right provider and more tailored service offerings to help increase end- user loyalty and revenues at their businesses.

BOLDstreet ISP partner InterNet Kingston has already signed up new customers with the BOLDstreet DSL Wi-Fi services bundle and is expecting additional increases as the RSA program gets started. "BOLDstreet's Wi-Fi bundle is helping us sell DSL services by arming us with compelling marketing opportunities never before available to our customers," said Tom Lynn, general manager of InterNet Kingston. "The new BOLDstreet RSA model will help us capture additional revenue by bringing the customers directly to us, allowing us to offer our services based on business value and not bandwidth."
