iPhone Drives 41% Increase in Wi-Fi Sessions in 3 Months

In the second quarter, AT&T handled nearly 15 million Wi-Fi connections on its network, a 41 percent increase over the first quarter of this year. With approximately 25.6 million connections so far in 2009, Wi-Fi connections this year have already surpassed the 20 million connections seen in all of 2008.

In part, that may be the result of an iPhone firmware release that has made it easier for users to log in to AT&T hot spots.

Now, the iPhone automatically detects available networks and logs users in automatically.
