According to recent statistics, over 20 million people are turning to the internet to meet their true love via online dating. It seems that the days when people left it to destiny, luck (good or bad) and to a few pints down the pub are long gone and all sorts of processes and match algorithms have been developed purely to ensure that you meet the ultimate partner. All of this match making, of course, needs a broadband connection in order for the user to get the true benefit of the online experience. Broadband is another thing which shouldn’t be left to luck, thankfully we have proven processes to ensure that online daters will have uninterrupted access to their ever more complex services. The downside of course is that all these services encourage the guests to remain in their room rather than amble down to the bar or lobby and see real live people. A transition, which is often made harder by the fact that either a different broadband operator is running the public areas or a second charge is necessary. That’s why Acentic’s HORIZON platform enables easy roaming from the room to the public areas in the hope that guests will move from a virtual environment to an environment where they can spend money at the bar possibly whilst doing their virtual dating.
