Sneak peek on Wi-Fi and data roaming costs survey

Wednesday, February 20th, 2013 Karen Ambrose Hickey, Editor

There’s still time to participate on our survey regarding international data roaming. If you travel to another country and try to connect with your smartphone, tablet or other mobile device, let us know your thoughts. You will be entered in for a chance to win a new iPad.

In looking at the current survey results, I see that:

• 32% of survey respondents have an eReader (and if you have an eReader, 86% of you have at least one tablet too!)
• 48% have a tablet that is Wi-Fi only but 53% of respondents have access to 3G/4G
• 80% find that their highest spend on Wi-Fi is at their hotel with a pretty even distribution over all our survey price levels.
• However, that means that 59% are paying $30/€24/£19 or more.

There’s still time to give us survey feedback on your international Wi-Fi and data roaming options and fees.
