Wireless LAN Industry Forecast To Hit $1.67 Billion
It's no surprise that people think WiFi is going to be big business. The latest study from ABI puts a number on it, suggesting that revenue from wireless LANs will hit $1.67 billion by the end of this year. Of course, the vast majority of that is in hardware related to WiFi, and not commercial services. Still, I imagine that the commercial hotspot providers will ignore that fact and use this number to suggest they're in the right business.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
