I just launched it yesterday. I believe that the survey will help us learn about the way in which WiFi hotspots are being used so that we can innovate the next generation of content and applications for these networks.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Using SurveyMonkey, it is very easy to customize a version of this survey for any group that would like to participate by running a localized version of the survey. For the first survey question, I would need to add a list of your hotspots or at least the most highly trafficked hotspots. The rest of the survey would be the same and your users would also be eligible for the prize drawing. I am happy to add additional questions if you have specific questions that you would like to ask you users. The survey is in English and it will run for the next three months. Here is a link where you can test out the survey:</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=654672665590">https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=654672665590</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Once I've customized the survey for your location, you can either e-mail a link to your members or I can create a pop up window for your captive portal page or Website. I would give you access to the data so that you can learn about the use of WiFi on your hotspots. Let me know if you are interested.
