The Truckstop.net Wi-Fi network has ceased operations leaving many of its truckstop locations and subscribers without wireless Internet service.

Truckstop.net is currently deployed at more than 500 truckstop hot-spots.
In a press release issued Tuesday, Truckstop.net CEO Scott Moscrip said that Sprint, the national telephone company, cut Internet service to the locations, effectively halting the service after Truckstop.net filed suit against Sprint claiming breach of contract. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court on November 15.
Truckstop.net had been working with Sprint to deploy Wi-Fi service to 3,000 truckstops. Truckstop.net announced its agreement with Sprint in November of 2003.
According to Truckstop.net’s Tuesday press release, subscribers have had problems connecting at some sites for the past five months. “Sprint has not corrected these problems,” the release stated.
"We regret the inconvenience this causes to our customers and problems for our partner locations. At some locations the stops themselves have hooked in an internet circuit that is keeping the service active at their location. We are offering the service at no charge currently at those locations while we explore alternatives for fixing the problems in the equipment." said Allan Meiusi, COO of Truckstop.net.
Truckstop.net previously announced it would deploy at Pilot, Love’s and Petro locations. As of Tuesday evening, only Petro had an announcement on its web site reporting the service outage. Sprint had nothing referring to the situation on its web site and no one was available for comment after hours Tuesday.
Truckstop.net’s primary competitor in the truckstop Wi-Fi is the network offered by Flying J at many of its locations.
