WiFi availability and pricing have no real significance when choosing an airline, according to 55.3 percent of respondents.
Reduced data plan costs are not enough to entice 50.3 percent of iPhone and Android enthusiasts to switch brands.

The survey queried a cross-section of Devicescapes members a group of 1,088 respondents that includes a variety of professionals and students.

“Connectivity is simply critical to everyday life, as evidenced by the demand for WiFi in our homes, shopping centers, airports, businesses, parks, cafs you name it,” said Dave Fraser, CEO of Devicescape.
