How many active Wi-Fi routers are there in the world?
There are millions and millions of Wi-Fi routers out there.
I want to estimate how many exactly.
There are some hints: 1 A company called Skyhook Wireless say they have a database of over 250,000,000 locations of Wi-Fi routers; 2 WeFi.com show over 70,000,000 Wi-Fi hotspot on their website; 3 A research by Intel from 2008 estimated 400,000,000 Wi-Fi routers were deployed worldwide
Can you estimate how many Wi-Fi routers are really out there? And explain what your estimate is based on?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I think this is underestimated - actually now I see that in my question I placed the wrong numbers, it should be millions instead of thousands:
like I wrote, in WeFi.com there are over 70,000,000 routers, and SkyhookWireless.com claim they have over 250,000,000 routers in their database...
what did you base your estimate on?
