� Frequency of the use of on-campus WLANs: One third of participants used the on-campus wireless local area networks (WLANs) every day. Most of the participants use the WLANs to a plan or schedule, such as every second day, once/twice per week, twice per month and weekdays. There were also some students who connected to the WLANs at unspecific times. Twelve participants said they did not often use the wireless services. Only one student stated he used the wireless services at any time after class. Another student used it twice a day. Quite a few students said they used WLANs less than once a week, and only two students used it twice a month.

Only four participants connected to WLANs before 9:00 in the morning, and 9:00-10:00am became the first peak time of the day. Up to 22 participants usually started their wireless services connection between 9:00-10:00am and 36 participants usually used the wireless services in the morning. That meant 61% of the morning users and 34.4% of all participants use the wireless services in the first peak time. The second
peak time was at noon, this may be caused by the lunch break. Eight participants stated that they usually use the WLANs at lunch time. Users of wireless services decreased dramatically in the afternoon: only twelve participants. Only one participant usually used wireless services in class and three participants after class. Three participants usually started to use the WLANs to no specific schedule. � The duration of the use of on-campus WLANs: Ten participants usually used WLANs for less than one hour and another ten participants usually used WLANs for 1-2 hours. The users decrease as the duration increased. Seven participants used WLANs for 2-3 hours, six between 3-4 hours and four for 5-6 hours. The participants who used WLANs for half a day (4-5 hours) and all day were the most, with nine and eleven responses. Seven participants did not specify the duration of their wireless services use.
