On the wireless front we appear to be beating the US, with more wireless coverage than our friends across the pond. The Inquirer reports on figures from Intel:
USA, together with South America, has 8,400+ public hotspots offered by 27 service providers. According to the larest numbers proferred by Intel, Europe offers 10,971 or so public hot spots provided by 56 service providers. Japan has 5,210 or so hot spots offered by 10 service providers, quite a number for such a small country. APAC, Asia Pacific countries have 17,424 public hot spots offered by 25 service providers. I guess Asia beats us all.
