The Canadian Wi-Fi Market Report, 2011 Edition is NBI/Michael Sone Associates’ sixth report on this market segment and is the most comprehensive and rigorously researched document available on the subject in Canada.

The report is divided into three main sections. The first comprises an executive summary that provides an overview of the Canadian market and concludes with two figures illustrating past, current and future Wi-Fi hotspot growth trends. This is followed by a discussion of major issues, developments and technology pertinent to the industry and its relationship with the cellular wireless technologies. The third section provides profiles of 11 significant national and regional service providers. These include the individual telcos, cablecos, as well as a representative sample of the larger independent companies. Each industry segment has been explored so that the report presents services offered and planned, marketing activities, pricing, as well as technology and application trends.
