Wi-fi slow to take off (in the UK)
Wi-fi slow to enthuse consumers. "According to a survey for electronics giant Toshiba, only a handful of people use a laptop to go online when they are outside of the home. Just 11% used laptops in hotels, 7% on trains and 3% in coffee shops, compared to 55% who used them mostly at home. There are over 10,000 wi-fi hotspots in the UK but not everyone is aware of them. The survey found that 15% thought there were not enough wireless locations for them to use the technology."
