I read some article about bandwidthX which is a wifi bandwidth exchange. And the estimate there was that wireless providers could get around $5 gigabyte.That's far above internet connection charges, and together with the other benefits i mentioned could be a decent reason for businesses(at least in dense traffic areas) to install this. As for the demand side, it's hard to determine that, but i assume it could be considerable , especially if video is involved. And if they succeed in building infrastructure that way, that's the whole game. The part about the free wireless,yes 87% of the u.s. is online, but with regards to mobile internet, maybe some people prefer a zero bill, and in general zero(even with an option to premium) is a good marketing technique. But that's just one option.
