INTRODUCTION

This statement amends the amended Schedule 13D (the “Amended Schedule 13D”) filed on May 23, 2005, as amended on August 5, 2005, November 9, 2005, February 6, 2006, May 16, 2006, June 26, 2006, August 1, 2006, August 15, 2006 and September 28, 2006, by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SAVF”), Shamrock Activist Value Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SAVF II”), Shamrock Activist Value Fund III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SAVF III” and, together with SAVF and SAVF II, the “Shamrock Activist Value Fund”), Shamrock Activist Value Fund GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”), and Shamrock Partners Activist Value Fund, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Shamrock Partners” and collectively with SAVF, SAVF II, SAVF III and the General Partner, the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to Common Shares, $.001 par value per share (“Common Shares”), of iPass Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 9 shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 9 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Amended Schedule 13D.

1. ITEM 4 OF THE AMENDED SCHEDULE 13D IS HEREBY AMENDED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons believe, based on the Company’s most recent statements and other information, that there was either serious mismanagement by the Company and director failures or misleading disclosures, or both, with regard to the February 15, 2006 merger with GoRemote Internet Communications and the related integration that warrant our review of the books and records requested in our letter of September 27, 2006. In an e-mail message and a letter dated October 4, 2006 from Ken Denman, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Company rejected our request to review the materials. Accordingly, the Shamrock Activist Value Fund has filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court on October 10, 2006 seeking to enforce our right to review the materials we have requested.
