...we would probably count as one of those institutions ;) A graph of our weekly users here/there/visitors-here is on this page: http://www.wireless.bris.ac.uk/eduroam/#graph eduroam is the only SSID we offer to our staff/students. We've also got a "graph" that shows a monthly snapshot of where visitors come from: http://www.wireless.bris.ac.uk/gfx/random/eduroamvisitors.png It's definitely true that there is a critical mass point at which point most places have it, users start to expect it, and usage rises rapidly.
