Truck stops could become the most unwired category of business in the next 12 months: the market wants it: No one is guessing whether truckers want Wi-Fi hotspots at truck stops. It’s a done deal. Truckers are typically also businessmen and -women and they use their laptops on the road to deal with loads, pay bills, and keep in touch with family. A hotspot means not having to leave one’s truck and tote a laptop, increasing security and ease. Thousands of truck stops will have Wi-Fi by this time next year. The annual rates of $200 to $250 for unlimited access means that there’s money to be made in assuring loyalty. A trucker will travel another 30 miles to use their Wi-Fi (just read this article), meaning that the right price and the right ubiquity could translate to thousands of dollars of additional gas and food sales per Wi-Fi user.
