There are issues such as overall capacity to solve first.

Whilst there’s no doubting its popularity (we have seen a big rise in mobile broadband related searches), I don’t see it as a replacement for fixed-line. It is however fantastic addition for users wanting wireless and hassle-free broadband access. For those on the move, it is great especially when your staying in hotels that charge a fortune for internet access!

All connected to the web with 3G mobile broadband.

I reckon mobile broadband is the future – in Spain they’ve been testing with 330mbps mobile broadband, and the Swedes are deploying a 4G network currently.

The speed of mobile broadband is developing faster compared to normal landline broadband… perhaps we will all be using mobile broadband in the future; even at home.

The development of technologies such as femtocells are likely to aid the uptake of mobile internet, and the public are definately becomming more savvy with mobile devices
