"hotspot" or "hot spot", "wireless" or "wi-fi" or "wi fi" ?

so many people and so much documentation refer to both "hot spot" and
"hotspot".? which one?

same goes for "wi-fi" and "wi fi"?

Also, when referring to hotspots or public commercial access, is it better
to speak of wireless or wi-fi ? -from a marketing perspective.

out of curiosity - have always wondered.

Hi Nic,

* HotSpot(R) is a registered trademark owned by T-mobile.
* Instant HotSpot(R) is another registered trademark owned by us
(http://InstantHotSpot.com)
* Wi-Fi(R) is a registered trademark owned by the Wi-Fi alliance

All the above trademarks are in their proper form, with each trademark
owner requesting that their trademark always be shown with the
appropriate hypens and capitalization.

Kind regards,

The word hotspot has been in common usage for many years, and in
many contexts. e.g.:
