Strategies Team Up on Wifi.com — Salient, Domain

Firms ink deal to enhance wifi.com web site.

Salient Properties, which bought Wifi.com for $225,000 in 2006, has found a partner to help further develop the site. In an e-mail sent this evening, Salient Properties owner Stuart Wood (see Reglike profile) wrote:

Although I am not at liberty to go into extensive details, yet, I can tell you Salient Properties, LLC. (our parent firm) has inked an agreement with Domain Strategies, Inc. to take the business to a fresh level. Domain Strategies is backed by Rob Monster (Monster Venture Partners), who has a proven record with startups and we are excited to be working together with Rob and Domain Strategies to develop WiFi.com, LLC. (the fresh business).

Wood has by now developed Wifi.com into a resource of wifi hotspots. He developed a similar site for me at Wifi.us ahead of I sold that domain last year. But the two firms have a lot more in store for the domain:

As of now WiFi.com is a wifi technology portal which offers all sorts of information regarding wifi. The fresh WiFi.com will be working toward a utility which will offer wifi users a “flick of the switch” solution for managing any/all wifi signals within range of the device. An added bonus will be full data encryption between devices (in air). Think secure, ubiquitous, wireless Internet, anywhere.

Sounds exciting, guys!
