Hotspot services to reach $3.46 billion in 2009

Worldwide wireless data hotspot revenue will rise from $969 million in 2005 to $3.46 billion in 2009, according to Arizona-based In-Stat. The growth will occur as the number of hotspot locations nearly doubles in size from 100,000 in 2005 to almost 200,000 by the end of 2009.

The largest sector of the hotspot market will continue to be the cafe market (including coffee shops, fast food, and full service restaurants), which will grow from just over 40,000 venues worldwide in 2004 to just under 100,000 venues by 2009.

Much of the growth in the cafe/restaurant market will be characterized by branded deployments such as the Starbucks, McDonald's, and Panera Bread hotspot networks.

IT worker confidence rebounds

According to the Hudson Employment Index survey, IT workers regained confidence in September, as the sector's index increased over seven points from 97.5 to 104.8. Increased job satisfaction, reduced layoff worries and optimism about personal finances spurred the increase. The percent happy with their current job jumped 12 points to 82 percent, the highest yet recorded.

Additionally, only 21 percent of sector employees were worried about losing their jobs, down from 29 percent in August and the lowest level all year.

In contrast, national worker confidence declined to yet another historic low, 96.8, as concerns around personal finances rose significantly.

Hiring expectations also suffered another slight setback as only 29 percent of employees reported their firms expected to hire in the coming months. After holding steady at about 31 percent for nine successive months, this was the second month in a row where hiring outlook dropped by one point. The percent of workers anticipating layoffs remained at 17 percent.
