TeliaSonera already offload automatically to their own wifi whereever it is possible and the mobile client supports it (mostly meaning it will offload iPhones as the support from Android phones isn't very good yet).
Nice to see things happening but the main problem to solve is not the end user equipment this article talks about, but rather operator systems (systems that could handle this and scale for the increased traffic is not something many operators have).

Overall, Passpoint can help decrease cellular traffic and redirect it over fixed lines via Wi-Fi. So IMHO it might be attractive to operators.
- yxhuvud 15y agoYou are missing the point. The point is that there is a need for infrastructure on the operator side to handle the incoming requests from Passpoint. There are already other solutions that allow operators to do mobile offloading over wifi over regular wifi access points.
