The carriers are not going to like this, so I doubt that we ever see this on the market.

actually, if they move away from "unlimited packadges" to usage based pricing like they are planning for LTE, I really don't see why carriers wouldn't adopt this technology. Data is data

Recent surveys done in the broadband sector have found that a huge majority of users (i dont remember the exact percent) will not pay for wifi access.
