BY 2015, consumers will be able to connect to the Internet using one of an estimated 5.8 million public WiFi hotspots around the globe.

The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) expects the number of public hotspots to surge by more than 350% over the next four years, up from the 1.3 million WiFi hotspots available worldwide in 2011, as smartphones and Tablets enter the mainstream and consumers increase their on-the-go data consumption.
