This Meta Group study is a bit of a no-brainer: The researchers looked at the hotspot aggregation model and found that aggregators offer a good option for enterprises looking to offer workers remote places to get access. Researchers found that while 70 percent of enterprises outsource remote dial-up services, less than 10 percent have deals for remote Wi-Fi access. That makes sense given the maturity of the dial-up market compared to the Wi-Fi market.
The study also ranks the leading aggregators, including Boingo, Fiberlink, GRIC, and iPass.
