Mobile broadband has been announced as the trendiest development in the Web that will be the turning point to the development of high speed internet. Up until a few years ago, high speed connection has been provided through a traditional phone landline, high speed connection, which brings internet access to your laptop via an ADSL modem. WI FI high speed internet will soon be increasingly famous, whereby the high speed connection is attached to the PC terminal via a wireless network, and as a consequence internet users are getting rid of ADSL cables. But mobile broad band is pushing things one step further and offering another important step in the evolution of internet; a broadband line pretty much in any room without the need for a telephone landline cable. The option of having a reliable high speed internet connection at home is surely an attractive idea for potential internet users, like those who more and more go online with their computers not from home. Business people for example who usually travel for work are the main obvious target for mobile broad-band who will surely be interested the opportunity of not having to search for a working WI-FI public hotspot for a quite decent connection. Mobile broadband is going to go further than that, and when prices soon begin to be more and more affordable and internet connection lines go up soon we will experience the majority of high speed connection customers applying for mobile high speed broadband. Mobile high speed internet works by linking a small portable modem to any modern personal computer, also called a ‘dongle’, from where your PC is able to go online using whichever mobile broad band internet provider the users have registered for. Telecom companies are selling mobile ADSL lines and coverage of the networks, also known as 3G networks, which is now reported to be as much as 90% of England. Internet speed is a serious issue with any broad band line and mobile broadband providers at the beginning struggled to persuade potential mobile users that any mobile broad-band could be as good as traditional, ADSL landline fast speed connection. Connection speeds are changing, since Vodafone has reported mobile broad-band lines of up to 7 mb, which is not that far from some of the normal landline internet connections. Countries like Great Britain, are ready to invest huge resources in fibre optic cable networks, because they want to speed up high speed internet line to up to 100 mb. In New Zealand, however, a leading telecom supplier has claimed that mobile broad band networks will soon improve fast in the next future and they have forecasted that mobile high speed connection will deliver connections of up to 100mb in the next three years, the year the UK’s fibre optic network is to be delivered. This could create a major turning point in industry thinking, with the development of a reliable super fast mobile broad-band network with obvious advantages over the installation of thousands of kilometres of fibre optic cables, not least from a practical point of view.
