A Gartner report suggests the majority of business travelers remain unware of and uninterested in ground, air Wi-Fi: The press release for this report doesn't offer historical information, so the fact that 25 percent of US and 17 percent of UK travelers (in a sample of 2,000) said they're using Wi-Fi on the road seems quite high to me. All the numbers from the hotspot industry show usage growing at a remarkable pace over the last year.
The report summary seems to mix up answers about in-flight usage and on-the-ground use, and airport terminal versus other use. It's a little hard to figure out what questions were asked from how they wrote this up.
Essentially, they're identifying a huge additional market potential, not a dearth of growth.
Maybe if they wouldn't have to pay 9 dollars for a 30 minutes connection they would be more interested ....
I am looking for working wifi sites in New Orleans as of Sept. 7, 2005, for my photographers working the storm for the Albuquerque Journal. Anyone know which locations are up? thanks, donn
