Bookmark topic
"March 10, 2008 (IDG News Service) As mobile broadband takes off, Wi-Fi hot spots will become as irrelevant as telephone booths, LM Ericsson Telephone Co. Chief Marketing Officer Johan Bergendahl said Monday.
Mobile broadband is growing faster than mobile or fixed telephony ever did, Bergendahl said.
"In Austria, they are saying that mobile broadband will pass fixed broadband this year. It's already growing faster, and in Sweden, the most popular phone is a USB modem," said Bergendahl, who was the keynote speaker at the European Computer Audit, Control and Security Conference in Stockholm."

Wifi hotspots won't go away anytime soon as many places supply it for free, instead of having to pay for an internet plan, you can use the wifi, that is if your phone has it.

Free wifi is popular here in the US. It is actually just on its way up and mostly used by ppl with their laptops. So it will not be going away here anytime soon.
