The city of Bellevue, Washington has had a Wi-Fi hotzone with free access in its central business district since 2007. The network uses 28 Cisco 802.11b/g wireless mesh access points and covers an area of 0.66 square miles.

• March 2007 (launch): 104 unique users (131 sessions) sending and receiving 4.66 gigabytes
• December 2009: 2,185 unique users (5,380 sessions) sending and receiving 135.69 gigabytes

The percentage of iPhone and iPod Touch users on the network: 45.79 percent as of December 2009.

Google gets $9.40 per month per unique user in revenue from advertising to Internet users. They should be able to get at least the same per month for a mobile customer that uses the device longer, more often, more intensely, and more personally than the computer and the Internet. If we take $9.40 and multiply it by 280 million wireless subscribers in the US, the mobile advertising market potential is more than $2.5 billion per month or more than $30 billion per year.
