Hi. We've been hitting new record milestones in the last few weeks at an astonishing pace. Earlier today we discovered our 100 millionth WiFi network [1]. In a few short days we will have discovered as many networks this year than we did in the 15 previous months.
The incredible uptake is largely due our Firefox for Android users, opting in to contribute data to us. We shipped this feature to our release audience in early January of this year, and the willingness of our community to contribute has completely blown us away. Depending on the day between 80% and 90% of all observations are coming from Firefox for Android users now, the remainder coming for the most part from our Play Store release of the Mozilla Stumbler app. That said, we continue to have a core audience of about 250 daily active users of the Stumbler app, who choose to participate in the leaderboards. This sums up to about 1000 monthly active users, since not everyone is using the app on every given day. This doesn't include the users who have chosen to remain anonymous. Other random stats: * We are discovering about 50 thousand new cell networks and 1.4 million new WiFi networks daily. * We are adding about 250 new observations every second. * The OpenCellID project and us are continuing to collect different data. There's an overlap of only about 1.2 million cell networks between both datasets, resulting in a combined data set of about 8.6 million cell networks. * We have data from more than 200 countries in the world, and getting new data from 150 different countries every day. * Our Mozilla Stumbler users tend to be on the cutting edge, 27% are using Android 5.0, 46% 4.4 on only 3% versions older than 4.0. * There are an estimated 50 million cell networks and 500 million to 1 billion WiFi networks in the world, meaning we have between 10-20% of all global data. Any other stats you are interested in?
