It has been some time since my last update and we have had a couple of new partnerships launch recently that will help us provide additional services and information to guests.
The first service launched was with DNSAdvantage ( http://www.dnsadvantage.com ) to provide enhanced domain name resolution for our gateway servers. DNSAdvantage maintains localized DNS servers throughout the world to speed DNS query responses. This means that when a guest types in website address, their computer will be able to start connecting to the website quicker than before. DNSAdvantage also automatically corrects typos for common domain names so that guests won't get a "Website Not Found" error message if they misspell the website. Finally, DNSAdvantage offers "Realtime Block Lists" for known virus and phishing websites helping to protect users while connected to the EthoStream service.
The second partnership, due to launch soon, is with OnSite Concierge ( http://www.on-site-media.com/ ) to provide digital concierge services for guests. OnSite features kiosk, business center and laptop concierge portals that allow guests to search for common businesses need while on the road. Guests will be able to find dining and entertainment options, photocopying and shipping stores, and get local forecasts and driving directions. Initially we will be offering their laptop concierge directly from the EthoStream service toolbar, but may be offering kiosk and business center solutions in the future.
We believe hoteliers and guests alike will value these two partnerships and they will help to enhance the "EthoStream Total Solution".
