IT Week's Daniel Robinson says a new report by iPass finds that London had more Wi-Fi user activity that any other city in the world in the second half of 2006. There was also a 74 percent increase in the number of European Wi-Fi sessions during the same time period.

"The figures show that London had over 11,000 iPass Wi-Fi sessions during the period July to December 2006, more than twice as many as the next highest city, Singapore," Robinson writes. "The report does not include corporate networks, but publicly accessible hotspots."

"2006 was a fantastic year for Wi-Fi hotspots, with strong worldwide and European growth. User education has been a driving factor as people began to see the benefits of getting connected wherever they go," says Doug Loewe, Vice President & Managing Director for iPass in Europe.
