Microsoft Licenses Curated Wi-Fi Hotspot Data From Devicescape To Power Windows Phone 8 Wi-Fi Maps

Microsoft has licensed technology from Wi-Fi hotspot locator, Devicescape, to power Wi-Fi maps in the Data Sense feature of its Windows Phone 8 platform. Devicescape maintains a network of 11 million+ crowdsourced and "curated" hotspots, which it tests for quality, availability, speed and reliability -- with the point being to make it easier for users to locate a working wi-fi hotspot.
