Wireless applications, citywide WiFi, smartphones
Devicescape has published its Q1 2012 survey which shows that many people are driven from cellular networks to Wi-Fi because of the lousy cellular connections. The survey found that almost 61 percent of respondents connect their mobile devices to Wi-Fi at work. With 91 percent of those surveyed stating that they have WiFi connectivity at [...]
The Heartland Institute, an astroturf organization that has consistently attacked the freedom of communities to set up their own broadband networks, has gotten into a heap of trouble with its corporate sponsors over a billboard ad that compares climate change believers to serial killer, Ted Kaczynski. According to The Guardian, “[t]wo dozen insurance companies, including [...]
Before you start reading this article, let me warn you first that it is longest one I’ve written and the only one in which the manufacturers I talk about see the text before publication. I have my opinions and perceptions as many of you do. However, I also wanted this article to be factually accurate [...]

HotelChatter publishes an annual report on hotels with the best and worst Wi-Fi. This is not a list based on the quality of the connection but on whether or not hotels charge for Wi-Fi with “best” meaning “free” and “worst” meaning expensive. I believe it’s time to move to a different measure of “best” and [...]

The users of the network were to be the NY Police Department and the NY Fire Department. We wrote about [...]
I have suspected this for a long time but now a study conducted by Comscore in the US and UK shows that iPhone users are significantly more likely to use Wi-Fi than Android users. According to Comscore, in the US, “71 percent of all unique iPhones used both mobile and Wi-Fi networks to connect to [...]
I cannot say I’m surprised by the the results of this study conducted by Mobidia Technology given all the problems I (and many others) have had using cellular networks with the iPhone (which I sold a few months ago).
