What we add

Counted facts

A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used. This counts it across the graph -- articles that mention it, open source projects tagged with it, and the organizations tagged with it, listed here alongside the count. A term has no peer companies, and nothing here claims otherwise.

Organizations tagged 36 Organizations Blue Link Wireless, Boost Mobile, Bravado Wireless, Cricket Wireless, CV Hotspot, Diamond Wireless, Euronet Wi-Fi, Expresso Senegal, FREDERIX Hotspot, Grameenphone, Hotsplots GmbH, Hotzone, Kent WiFi, Kumara Hotspot, MatSing, Metro by T-Mobile, MobileNation Wireless Phone Service, Monzoon, More WiFi, Nalini Related terms
