ITworldcanada.com reports that a recent report from research firm In-Stat suggests Wi-Fi use is on the rise due to the proliferation of hotspots. The data are mixed however, according to an article by Tim Wilson, in that some areas are a lot hotter than others.
"People use Wi-Fi in hotels, airports, and cafes," says Daryl Schoolar, senior analyst at In-Stat and the author of the report. "You don't have a lot of people using Wi-Fi outdoors." Schoolar says this is one of the reasons why municipal Wi-Fi networks have struggled: the blanket access model doesn't reflect usage.
