As the chart to the left illustrates a receipt staggering month over month increases in the unique WiFi devices on the network. March marks the first month in recent memory with a number of devices actually decreased (although just slightly). iPhones, Android and Blackberry are up While usage most devices was flat in March, the iPhone, T-Mobile’s G1 and Blackberries were all up slightly. Briefly looking at the data it isn’t clear what it’s leading to the decline, though I suspect that the weak economy and general slowing consumer spending play a big role.
