Mobile Phone News:

We’ve noticed a bit of a gap in people’s knowledge about Mobile Broadband, so I’ve taken it upon myself to put together a bit of a guide to what mobile broadband is, why it’s good, and what you could get from it.

First of all, when you say Mobile Broadband, people automatically think of wireless internet. As in, wireless internet through WiFi. As in your home router, or a WiFi hotspot.

Don’t think that. Because it’s not.

No, it’s much, much more than that. It’s totally mobile, so you don’t need a landline, you don’t need a WiFi hotspot… in fact, it has nothing to do with WiFi whatsoever. A better way of picturing it is this:

Imagine you have broadband access on your laptop. Now imagine that like a mobile phone, that broadband access can go anywhere. After all, you don’t need to be in a WiFi hotspot to use your mobile phone. So, you can use Mobile Broadband anywhere you get a mobile signal.

So, that’s what it is. It’s proper, full internet access at broadband speeds, on your laptop. But it can go anywhere, just like your mobile phone can.

And that’s good, because you’re not tied to your desk, you can get the internet and everything you use online ANYWHERE and you don’t need a landline to use it.

And with a whole host of cheap laptops out there, you’ve got the makings of a fabulous system. Grab yourself a lappy, whack in a USB Modem, connect to mobile broadband, and wherever you are, you’ve got the big, full screen world-wide-web. Accept no substitutes.
