Wasn't it an independent 3rd party?

Nobody really cares except the vendors, but Spotnik was perceived as an independent middle-man providing wi-fi hotspot access to the internet independent of carrier affiliation. It provided an arguable valuable and growing service.

Telus has bought Spotnik according to this announcement in The G&M: Telus acquires hotspot firm Spotnik. The paragraph story reveals that Telus's venture group invested $6-million in Spotnik in 2002.

How much did the other telcos invest?
