Comments on: Live From Qik Special Event Announcing QikRoam http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/13/live-from-qik-special-event/ Startup and Technology News Fri, 27 Nov 2009 05:45:16 -0800 hourly 1 By: Rodrigo http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/13/live-from-qik-special-event/comment-page-1/#comment-2697499 Rodrigo Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:03:52 +0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/?p=56026#comment-2697499 I was going to mention this but i think Maxroam and Celtrek both belong to Global Roaming Inc. My new Celtrek card was shipped to me last week and is indeed the same as Maxroam. Global Roaming is powering most of international sims out there. I see no harm in this. My concern is that Qik teamed up with a distributor and not the actual provider. Bad choice. I was going to mention this but i think Maxroam and Celtrek both belong to Global Roaming Inc.

It's foolish to this product Irish. Qik simcard is 100% US. Qik card is a rebranded Maxroam card which is itself a rebranded Celtrek sim card (owned by Global Roaming Inc.). Maybe TC should check their Crunchbase database before publishing inaccurate news. One will note Celtrek prices are half Maxroam prices too.

For travellers this is a big deal. But the chances of them supporting it on an international level at an affordable price are very low. For travellers this is a big deal.

Carriers will be supporting more data transfer as more 4g technologies rollout, so it seems like a short term play. Why is this news?
