Amtrak Adds Free Wi-Fi Along Major East Coast Routes
Oct 31st
Amtrak has announced an expansion of its free AmtrakConnectSM Wi-Fi service to 12 more East Coast routes. 60% of Amtrak passengers will now have free Wi-Fi access. Service is provided to trains via cellular data networks along the routes, and Amtrak is trying to maximize the use of existing infrastructure to expand Internet service on trains.
The high-speed Acela Express trains in the Northeast Corridor already have Wi-Fi service, as well as the Cascades line in the Pacific Northwest. By the end of 2011, Amtrak will expand Wi-Fi service to Amtrak California’s state-supported trains, giving 75% of all Amtrak passengers onboard Wi-Fi.
Today’s expansion includes the Northeast Regional trains between Virginia and Boston – Amtrak’s most popular route – and the busy Empire and Keystone lines serving New York and Pennsylvania. Other routes getting Wi-Fi are Carolinian (New York – Raleigh/Cary, N.C.), Downeaster (Boston – Portland), Ethan Allen Express (New York – Rutland, Vt.), the New Haven – Springfield Shuttle and Vermonter (Washington – St. Albans, Vt.).
Four other routes – Adirondack (New York – Montreal), Maple Leaf (New York – Toronto), Palmetto (New York – Savannah, Ga.), and Pennsylvanian (New York – Philadelphia – Pittsburgh.) – also get some Wi-Fi service in this expansion, but only select cars will have the equipment for hotspots.
“We are committed to continuing to improve and expand this service as resources and technology allow,” says Emmett Fremaux, Amtrak’s VP for marketing and product development. Amtrak is in negotiations with cellular companies to expand service and take advantage of 4G speeds.

AppCircus Makes Its Way to the West Coast
Apr 18th
Later this month, APPNATION, the self-described "show me the money conference," and AppCircus, the "global traveling showcase of innovative apps," will land in San Francisco after stopping in a number of other cities across the globe.
If you’re an app developer, entrepreneur or otherwise, there’s still time to enter your app into AppCircus and the list of past winners might convince you that, despite the late hour, there’s still time to put together an application.
AppCircus is still taking applications until April 19 for the main event, set to take place on April 27 at APPNATION, which runs from April 27 to April 28.
Past winners of the event include Video Puzzle in Madrid, Yumbling in Mexico, Screach at SXSW and impressive augmented reality translation app Word Lens in Palo Alto. All registered apps will get a crack at competing on stage at the event, but first have to pass through an online jury this on April 20. 10 apps will be selected to move on and will each get three minutes on stage.
The winner of AppCircus gets up to $2000 in cash and prizes from Cohuman, Hotwire and Speek and is nominated for the Mobile Premier Awards 2012 in Barcelona at the Mobile World Congress.
