Can you monetize a carrier Wi-Fi service even if it is included in the subscriptions?
The answer is yes! We can see this from our 100+ carrier Wi-Fi deployments serving hundreds of millions of users. Many operators do upselling to higher-tier service plans that include Wi-Fi. Others increased the price on their broadband or mobile subscriptions because carrier Wi-Fi give them a more competitive offering. Some bundle the Wi-Fi service with other type of services such as broadband and TV.
