Well, obviously it's "broadband over WiFi" and it seems people compare WiFi with mobile data instead of fixed with cellular. Anyway...

Report here (PDF). Other reports here (including one on Australian mobile).

New Zealand appears only once, in the "relatively strong fixed broadband" group. Which is fair.

Really shows how things like WiFi in stadiums are simply a huge waste of $$ building something that people never use nor need as data caps grow.

I am curious to see what will happen to public WiFi networks in the long term. 4G provides a much better experience than most public WiFi services. And with 60GB+ banked on my plan I never have the need to use WiFi networks (home and work excluded as these are actually pretty good).
