iPass, a network connection aggregator that concentrates on business users, has just “published a Wi-Fi Hotspot Index”:1 based on their user data. Given iPass’ size, they represent a significan proportion of all of the paid Wi-Fi usage throughout the world, so their data shows some very interesting trends.
The report shows data for more than 1 million users across more than 76,000 aggregated hotspots in 68 countries. Of particular note is the venue types: Cafes show the most popular usage with an average of 2 hours per connection. These numbers align well with NYCwireless usage patterns for our “SuperNodes”:2.
