<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment and has revised its disclosure to explain the impact of the acquisitions in quantified
detail. Please note that as the Company has included year-end audited financial statements at December&nbsp;31, 2010, the Company no longer includes financial statements at
December&nbsp;31, 2007 in Management Discussion and Analysis. As a result, all revenue figures now include the impact of the Sprint Spectrum acquisition and accordingly does not contribute to the
increase in revenue or performance indicators over the periods presented. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has revised its disclosure on page&nbsp;F-13 of Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to clarify and discuss the Company's refund policy
and experience, as well as how refunds are accounted for. The Company does not have a stated or published refund policy for our Wi-Fi service, although its customer service representatives
may provide a refund on a case-by-case basis in limited circumstances. The Company's credit card processor provides reporting on monthly billing adjustments which the Company
reflects as an offset to revenues for the respective month. Customer refunds are not separately identifiable in the monthly billing adjustment detail, but are included in the total billing adjustments
which include (i)&nbsp;adjustments for current month Wi-Fi service issues, (ii)&nbsp;adjustments issued to monthly subscribers that have prepaid their subscription,
(iii)&nbsp;corrections for billings adjustments discovered by us during the same month of revenue recognition, and (iv)&nbsp;customer refunds. The majority of the fees returned to customers are
related to the first three adjustment categories rather than to customer refunds and
generally occur within the same month for which revenue is recognized. For the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2010, the total annual billing adjustments as reported to us by our credit card
processor were $1.0&nbsp;million and $1.1&nbsp;million, respectively. This represented less than 3% of retail revenues and less than 1% of total revenues, for each year. </FONT></P>

non-controlling interest for 2009 is $314,000. The Company has revised the disclosure on page&nbsp;F-17 of Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to indicate the correct balance attributable
to the Chicago LLC non-controlling interest for 2009. The net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $394,000 is
comprised of the $314,000 related to Chicago&nbsp;LLC and $80,000 related to Detroit&nbsp;LLC. Expense of $80,000 was charged to the controlling interest for Detroit&nbsp;LLC to maintain the
non-controlling interest capital account balance at zero ($85,000 fixed distribution less $5,000 of opening non-controlling interest balance). Profits and losses for
Detroit&nbsp;LLC are attributed to the controlling and non-controlling interests based on the terms of the Detroit&nbsp;LLC Agreement which, given losses in Detroit&nbsp;LLC,
resulted in the non-controlling interest capital account being reduced to a zero balance with any remaining or additional allocation of losses and Class&nbsp;A distributions recognized
as a reduction of income available to the controlling interest. </FONT></P>

Company has revised it disclosure on page&nbsp;F-17 of Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to provide relevant portions of the key terms of the Detroit&nbsp;LLC Agreement. The
Company also acknowledges that the disclosure of 30% allocation of the profits to the Detroit&nbsp;LLC non-controlling interest was erroneous and the disclosure has been revised to

Company considered the ASC 810-10-45 supplemented by the previous guidance of Appendix&nbsp;B of FASB No.&nbsp;160 paragraphs B36 through B43 in making
the determination that attribution of profits and losses based on the terms of the Detroit&nbsp;LLC Agreement was appropriate given the underlying differing risks and rewards of the controlling and
non-controlling interests. The Company concluded to reflect a debit balance in the capital account of the non-controlling interest holders was consistent with the explicit
terms of the Detroit&nbsp;LLC Agreement that preclude allocation of losses that would cause the non-controlling interest holder to have a deficit balance. Therefore, any losses in excess
of the non-controlling interest capital account balance as well as Class&nbsp;A distribution payments that would create a deficit balance should be charged to the controlling interest.

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's method utilized for recording amortization on the contingent portion of the purchase price for this transaction was done
to ensure that amortization expense was being recognized over the estimated useful life of the underlying venue contracts intangible assets at the date of acquisition. The relevant authoritative
literature that addressed a transaction of this type which includes contingent consideration and an initial bargain purchase was FASB No.&nbsp;141 paragraph&nbsp;46. However, at the acquisition
date rather than recording the identified assets and liabilities at fair value and a liability for an additional element of cost related to the contingent consideration as prescribed by
paragraph&nbsp;46, the Company reflected only the initial purchase price paid of $450,000 in its purchase price allocation for the net assets acquired. Based on the Company's internal assumptions
made in connection with the acquisition, the Company expected to earn approximately $3.5&nbsp;million in revenue from the acquired venue contracts if renewed during the earn out period which is
materially consistent with actual revenues earned during the period. Based on these amounts, the acquisition date intangible assets balance and related liability balance were initially understated or
"grossed down" by approximately $700,000. The impact of these balance sheet misstatements are subsequently reduced as the venue contract intangible assets are amortized and payments of the
earn-out liability are made. The Company evaluated the uncorrected balance sheet misstatements noting that they were not material to the </FONT></P>

sheet amounting to less than 1% of total assets for all respective prior periods presented and less than 1.7% of total liabilities for all periods presented. From an income statement
perspective, the Company's actual amortization expense recorded for this transaction materially approximated the amortization expense that would have been recorded if the acquisition date balance
sheet allocation had been done correctly. These immaterial differences in amortization expense by year amounted to approximately $5,000 understatement, $2,000 understatement, and $8,000 overstatement
(less than 0.1% of net income attributable to common stockholders for all years) for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and is expected to be immaterial to 2011. The revenue
contingency payment ends in October 2011 as per the agreement. For the quarters within the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2010, the amortization expense differences were also immaterial
amounting to no more than 1% of net income for any quarters except for 2.6% in Q2 2009 and 2.1% in Q4 2010. The earnout payments based on 20% of revenues end in October 2011 in accordance with the
purchase agreement. The Company revised our disclosure beginning on page&nbsp;F-25 of Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to clarify the treatment of this transaction. </FONT></P>
