Submission + - People with WiFi surf more
MC Gates writes: A new study from the Pwer Internet & American Life Project shows that people who have WiFi at home spend more time online than those without. 'A survey of 798 Internet users found that 72 percent of wireless users check e-mail at least once a day, while only 63 percent of wired broadband users do so. The same pattern held true for reading news online, suggesting that wireless access offers "relentless connectivity" that might change a person's online behavior.' WiFi users also tend to be younger than the general 'net-using population, as they are concentrated between 18 and 49 years of age, instead of 30 to 64 like the general surfing public.
