Wi-Fi Grows, but Profits Don't

The march to deploy Wi-Fi networks in all manner of locations is continuing at a rapid pace, even though it is doubtful that much money is being made from the service, a new survey concludes.

The study, published Monday by research firm In-Stat/MDR, counted 40,000 wireless hotspots around the world in 2003, showing a rate of growth that surpassed analysts' expectations. This compares to just a few hundred in 2000. Researchers predict there will be around 180,000 hotspots worldwide enabled with Wi-Fi, the popular protocol for delivering high-speed wireless Internet service, by 2007.
