Mobile usage numbers for the second quarter of 2010 remained steady. The iPass Survey looked at data for home users, business travelers, popular venues and most popular airports.
iPass mobile usage data collected from April 1 through June 30 of 2010 indicated that while 55 percent of employees were working from home, it was less than two times a month. Additionally the data showed that 18 percent logged in from home at least two to five times per month, and 14.1 percent logged in at least five to 10 times per month:
Business travel remained steady during the quarter, with 11.9 percent on the road six or more days in Q2, the same as in Q1, and 10.1 percent in Q4:
Across the board, connectivity sessions at venues remained consistent between Q2 and Q1. Hotels continued to be the most popular place to log in when on the road followed by airports and retail, but mobile workers logging in from convention centers connected for the longest amount of time:

O’Hare regained the top spot on the list of airports, up from 5th place in Q1. Heathrow saw a significant decline, tumbling from the number three spot in Q1 to the number 17 spot in Q2. This could have been due to the volcanic ash cloud that shutdown air travel in and out of the UK in Q2.

Of note, iPass announced its Inflight Wi-Fi service in April of this year. If Inflight Wi-Fi had been counted as a venue, in two short months the service climbed to the 50th most popular airport worldwide for the quarter, ahead of land-based Wi-Fi services at Prague, Milwaukee, Hong Kong and Mexico City, with almost 1 session per 100 mobile workers.
