A recent AT&T survey indicates that in the past month 43 percent of smartphone users said they had connected to an AT&T hotspot at least once. In 2009, AT&T consumers connected to an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot four times more often than they did in 2008.
In the fourth quarter of 2009, there were more than 35 million connections to the Net via an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot. This is up by 10 million over the fourth quarter of 2008. The majority of these Wi-Fi connections are being made by smartphones, such as the iPhone, rather than laptops. In fact, 73 percent of Wi-Fi connections in AT&T hotspots came from “integrated devices” in the fourth quarter compared with 61 percent for all of 2009.
