The iPass Wi-Fi Cost Index, original research conducted by iPass, includes average Wi-Fi and Mobile Broadband data costs by region, and provides insight into the impact of those costs for different business traveler usage scenarios.
Because much of an organization’s mobility costs are incurred by the business users who are most likely to travel often and across country borders, we’ve modeled scenarios for US workers who travel internationally, and for European users traveling both within Europe and internationally.
How much can iPass save you on data roaming? The Wi-Fi Cost Index defines basic assumptions about typical business traveler usage behavior, and documents average data usage and Mobile Broadband costs by region around the world. Based on this, we’ve reported on average costs for two travel scenarios, and potential savings for organizations that use iPass Open Mobile for business traveler Wi-Fi.
