Wi-Fi currently has emerged not only as a dominant standard for wireless Local Area Network (LAN) but also as the wireless Personal Area Networks (PAN) and Metro Area Network (MAN). There is clearly a widespread support for metro area Wi-Fi around the world and the experts believe that city wide Wi-Fi could make ubiquitous broadband a reality. In the metro area network it is believed that integration of WiMAX and Wi-Fi technologies will provide the most cost effective solution of backhaul and access for both voice and data services. This paper outlines the emerging business models of heterogeneous wireless networks that are mainly Wi-Fi centric, proposing new service models.
