WiFi Growing, Profits Nowhere To Be Seen
Yet another analyst is pointing out what we've all been saying for so long. WiFi hotspots are going to keep on growing - however, the chances to profit directly from them are not likely to show up any time soon. The smart plays in WiFi are realizing that the money is to be made indirectly. In offering a service that people find useful, they are attracting more loyal customers to their core 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.
–The Techdirt Team
