The Wi-Fi Alliance with Kelton Research has revealed a nationwide survey on consumer perceptions of Wi-Fi technology. Overall findings indicate that Wi-Fi is demonstrating increased momentum as an integral part of leisure and work activities. The survey was conducted online by Kelton Research between June 26 to 30, 2006 and included 551 Americans.

Eight out of ten surveyed readily volunteered that they would give up their iPod any day over their home wireless network. When Americans were asked which they would rather give up, their home telephone or wireless computer network, 79 percent responded that they would rather live without a home phone. Only 21 percent said they would part with their home Wi-Fi connection.
