Cable ISP Wi-Fi Hot Spots Now Number 500,000, NCTA Says

The number of cable ISP-provided Wi-Fi hot spots has reached 500,000 nationwide, NCTA said in a blog post Wednesday, citing the Cable WiFi Alliance. Saying that number has doubled in the past two years, NCTA said "that means more customers can experience near-ubiquitous broadband connectivity, and communities benefit knowing there is secure, reliable internet access already built out."
