The survey reveals that 84 percent of respondents want citywide WI-Fi  and 91 percent expect Wi-Fi when they are traveling (i.e. when they are in airports, bus terminals, train stations and ferries).

Two other interesting figures from the survey:

  • 56% are willing to pay for citywide Wi-Fi access as a utility like water, gas or electricity,
  • although 79 percent believe that Wi-Fi should be free.
