Austin, TX – March 29, 2013 – We're thrilled to announce: Discount Electronics is partnering with the Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) to bring free Wi‑Fi to travelers! Our CEO, Rick Culleton, just confirmed the deal – making airport internet access smoother and more convenient than ever.

“Discount Electronics CEO Rick Culleton … still wants to provide you with free Wi‑Fi at the airport.” 

Why This Matters

For years, Austin’s tech-forward vibe hasn't been reflected at its main travel hub. While countless airports nationwide already offer free internet, ABIA lagged behind – until now. Thanks to this partnership, we’ll offer complimentary Wi‑Fi sessions to passengers, helping them stay connected whether they’re catching up on email, streaming a video, or just browsing.

The service is being rolled out as a “sponsored” network, meaning travelers get free internet through ads or airport sponsor contributions. And yes, it still comes from Discount Electronics (and our smiles), so next time you’re at AUS, know we're making your online experience easier!

What Travelers Should Expect

• Fast Free Wi‑Fi: Freedome for a session, courtesy of Discount Electronics & airport sponsors

• Stay Connected: Whether you’re at the gate, baggage claim, or the food court

• Simple & Seamless: No need for credit card info—just select the “Sponsored by Discount Electronics” network

Our Commitment to Austin

This isn't just a PR stunt—it’s a reflection of who we are. For over 16 years (since 1997!), Discount Electronics has supported local innovation and access. This initiative aligns with our mission: keeping Austin plugged in, even when you’re on the go.

Stay tuned for launch details and a full guide on how to connect. And if you’re traveling through AUS soon, be sure to log on and enjoy a fast, free connection!
