The proliferation of WiFi devices is a success story in
standards development and represents a market that generates over $750 million per quarter in sales worldwide (Infonetics Research). Most computer systems, particularly laptops, are shipped with WiFi-compliant hardware and software as a standard feature. For example, even the least expensive laptop available at Wal-Mart is WiFi equipped. Further, the equipment necessary to set up your own WAN—with existing computers and existing Internet service— can be obtained for less than $100. A number of organizations have chosen to make WiFi access freely available to any who would wish to connect. Dartmouth College offers free WiFi over its entire campus; Panera Bread and many CompUSA stores throughout the nation offer free WiFi access; Bradley International Airport in Connecticut and Ft. Lauderdale Airport in Florida provides free WiFi access.WiFi is a technology that is far from being in use only by the technologically advanced early adopters, and it is now clearly mainstream in its adoption and use.
