Fring, Boingo Now BFF

Mobile VoIP and IM client maker fring has teamed up with Boingo Wireless, a wireless aggregation company. If you have a Boingo mobile account, then you can use fring on your Wi-Fi enabled mobile phones at Boingo hotspot. I think as more dual-mode phones hit the market, this kind of integration becomes necessary.
