Move Wi-Fi Service
Frank’s Fancy Lincoln has everything a road warrior could want: extravagant leather seats, extra legroom and a fashionable fold-down desk that can be positioned just so. There’s a bottle of spring water in the cup holder to my left and a pile of individually wrapped Life Savers under the armrest. A screen suspended from the ceiling is playing a DVD But here’s the real benefit of this ride: I can surf the Web on my laptop from the backseat of this automobile while Frank, the driver, takes me wherever I want to go.
Carey International, which owns Frank’s limo, has been testing mobile wireless hot spots in half a dozen of its custom automobiles in four cities since the spring, and customers love it, according to CEO Devin Murphy. For now, the cost for the service is included in the standard fare; soon the company hopes to launch " Mobile Office", designed by In Motion Technology, across more of its fleet. First, however, it needs to figure out the business details. It costs $ 1,000 to $2,000 to equip each car, an investment predicated on an indefinite business model. But Murphy wants to be out in front with the technology. "We definitely think we’re ahead of the curve," he says proudly.
He’s not the only one who sees mobile wi-fi as a way to drive customer satisfaction. Wi-fi services are popping up on planes, trains, buses and ferries as operators seek to meet the growing demand for anytime, anywhere Internet access and to gain a competitive edge. Analysts expect "Wi-Fi in motion"—a variation on the kind of hot spot that’s been sprouting up in airports, hotels, coffee shops and truck stops—to be widely available in just a few years
For quite a while, airline passengers have been able to surf the Web via in-flight phones. But airlines embracing Wi-Fi aim to make Web surfing more practical. Lufthansa introduced a high-speed Wi-Fi Internet service called Fly-Net on flights between Los Angeles and Munich. Its Charlotte, N. C.-Munich and San Francisco-Munich routes will have it, and the airline wants its entire fleet equipped within two years Scandinavian. Singapore and at least half a dozen other airlines have announced plans to follow suit.
Given the financial woes facing U.S. carriers, few have the resources right now to invest in Wi-Fi; most will probably wait for Verizon to launch an inflight Wi-Fi service that makes use of its existing Airfones network. Rail operators, meanwhile, are beginning to take a hard look at the wireless Web. In Northern California, Canada and Britain, train companies are testing or preparing to launch their own Wi-Fi services.
With regard to anytime,anywhere Internet access,analysts seem to be______.
选项
A、extending a warm welcome
B、voicing slight disapproval
C、giving a sincere compliment
D、making an objective evaluation
答案
D
解析
观点态度题。第三段第二句指出为了获得竞争优势,经营者试图满足日益增长的随时随地上网的需求。结果导致Wi-Fi服务正在飞机、火车、公共汽车以及渡船上冒出来。由此分析家们做出预测:要不了几年,“移动Wi-Fi”就会得到广泛应用。可见,分析家们得出的预测是对情况的客观评价,故[D]为答案。文中没有词汇、句子表明分析家对Wi-Fi是持欢迎还是反对的态度,排除[A]和[B];也没有对Wi—Fi这项服务表示认同,排除[C]。
