Is it really Free?

Yes, it is completely Free of Charge for you to use. The service is paid for by advertisers placing ads with us which are targeted based upon the user demographics, website viewing history, date and time and the physical street location.

Is it anonymous?

Yes absolutely!

We NEVER ask for any information that can be used to personally identify you - we capture information about your computers viewing habits and NOT about you. You cannot be identified and it's completely anonymous at all times. We do however monitor traffic and any illegal activity will result in your computer being permanently barred from accessing our systems.

What sort of ads are displayed?

Well, first of all, every ad is vetted to be 'child friendly' so there should be no concerns about seeing unsavory ads on your screen. They are also designed to be of interest to you and your location - so for example, a local Restaurant might be offering a 2 for 1 meal which will be located close to where you access the dSpot. Cool eh?

Do I need to register?

NO, you will however need to download the small program that controls the ad display - the dSpot Access Manager. Once you have done this however you never need to do it again unless you have a second laptop, iPhone, iPod or PDA (the Access Manager is specific to the platform that you use). The dSpot Access Manager program is virus checked and poses no security risk, however it does communicate with our servers and any attempt to circumvent it will result in your laptop, iPhone, iPod or PDA being permanently blocked from accessing our dSpots - even if you re-install. Our uninstaller is also clean - so if you uninstall the Access Manager it is 100% removed.

Are there any restrictions?

Yes, there are a few. We don't permit access to illegal websites or for the use of the service for illegal or immoral services and these are monitored. Anyone found breaking ours Terms and Conditions will have their computer banned from the service permanently. We are also aware that at busy locations and at busy times, we may have to restrict the amount of bandwidth available to each user. However when this happens, our engineers are informed and we will make arrangements to increase the bandwidth at that location.

What equipment can I use?

We are currently compatible with laptops using 802.1x Wi-Fi and the Windows operating system (2000, XP and Vista) as well as Mac OS X. We are about to release versions for the iPhone, the iPod Touch and Windows Mobile 5/6.

Where can I find a dSpot?

Check out the 'Where is it' link and you will be able to find where the nearest dSpot is to you. You can also browse by popular locations - remember that the actual dSpot may not be actually inside the location but may be outside. Generally each dSpot covers a radius of 100 yards/meters so you might need to move around to get the best signal.
