Look How Ubiquitous Wi-Fi Has Become

[Commentary] Wi-Fi has become an indispensable part of our daily lives — at least for those of us who live in the United States, Decipher reported in a survey conducted on behalf of Devicescape, a networking software maker, chipmaker Intel, and Meraki, a networking hardware maker in San Francisco. Devicescape is a popular application among iPhone and iPod Touch users because it eliminates the need to constantly log onto AT&T or other Wi-Fi networks using a password. As a result, the numbers in this survey might be slightly skewed, so take them with a grain of salt. And anyway, what can you expect from a survey that's tied to three unabashed champions of Wi-Fi? But it is a good sign-post of the reality of Wi-Fi and its ubiquitous nature. Nearly 98 percent of Wi-Fi consumers log onto Wi-Fi networks once daily, while nearly 57 percent log in every day, according to the Decipher's survey of 8,000 users of the technology.
