Summary

This study presents IDC's worldwide forecast for the public WLAN hotspot access market, covering the period 2004?2009. Despite some steady growth in its numbers in various regions of the world, the public hotspot industry is still in its formative years and business models are still evolving. The variance in the rate of growth in the number of public hotspots is as much a function of local sociotechnological realities as it is a function of the strategic intent of local market players. The growing salience and maturity of wireless broadband technologies have prompted some observers to comment that public hotspots, qua industry, are in serious trouble.
