Community-based, global wi-fi network WeFi has entered into an agreement with Qik, the live mobile video streaming platform, under which the two companies will enable high-speed Internet access for Qik users on WeFis network of over 50 million wi-fi access points worldwide. In turn, WeFi will be able to expand its network to more hotspot locations, as Qik users are streaming live mobile video from over 160 countries and will discover and connect to wi-fi in new locations.  
WeFi provides users with easy, automated and free access to millions of wi-fi hotspots from their mobile devices, offering Qik users higher bandwidth, which WeFi notes is especially important for activities such as streaming high quality video live, and particularly at crowded locations such as tradeshows, sporting events or central transport stations. The Qik streaming experience is enhanced by WeFis technology, providing for a smooth, fast, and seamless broadcast. 
WeFi automatically connects the mobile user to the best wi-fi connection available, and seeks to connect users to wi-fi access points where Internet access has already been verified by other WeFi-enabled devices – dubbed community-verified spots – in a growing network of over 50 million recorded access points. In addition, WeFi recently released its first generation of carrier-grade solutions for offloading mobile Internet traffic from congested 2G, 3G and in the future 4G networks onto wi-fi access points. 
WeFis network is currently accessible on phones using Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian operating systems.
“A majority of Qik users today use devices with wi-fi support, says Qik CEO, Vijay Tella. This integration with WeFi will enable Qik users to more easily locate and connect to hotspots around the world making their mobile video sharing experience even more compelling.
