London is the world's leading city for Wi-Fi access according to research by iPass.
There were 31,000 user sessions (excluding airports and hotels) in the first half of 2008, up by 27% in the second half of 2007, with an average session length of 57 minutes. London's Heathrow airport also moved up the ranks to become third busiest airport hotspot and London Paddington topped the ranks, as the busiest London railway hotspot.
The report shows that worldwide business use of iPass Wi-Fi hotspots has increased by 46% from the first half of 2007 to the first half of 2008. In the first half of 2008, the UK capital's session count was up by 27% on H2 2007, with an average session length of 57 minutes.
European business use of Wi-Fi hotspots eclipsed North America in the first half of 2008, and now accounts for 47% of global use, up from 36% in the first half of 2007.
The results show that more and more business people are working away from the office, a trend which is expected to continue with the influx of WiMAX and other 4G technologies.
