Cable MSO Have an Advantage with Wi-Fi First-For Now

This is because of video largely. Roughly 55 percent of smartphone owners and 61 percent of tablet owners use TV apps on their devices at least once per month, according to Parks Associates (News - Alert). Wi-Fi is the better choice for such high-bandwidth content, and overall there are roughly 10 billion devices worldwide that connect via Wi-Fi.

From the article "Cable MSO Have an Advantage with Wi-Fi First-For Now" by Mae Kowalke.
