So I gotta do a stupid project for a class where I need to try to forecast the implementation of WiFi networks in certain areas. Anybody know where I can find info? I found www.wifinder.com, but I would like to get some financial figures too if possible.

i think you should check out t-mobiles site, because they have a lot of info for what they're trying to roll out in cafes nationwide.
