Mobile Broadband Will Soon Be Bigger than Home Connection
I see the newspaper ‘The Times’ has asserted that in only two years mobile broadband could overtake broadband in-home connection as our main link to the net.
This trend is being vastly encouraged by the seemingly never ending rise of portable computers that allow connection to mobile networks such as Orange mobile broadband. Another major factor that is causing this boom in mobile computing has been the lower pricing structures, mobile broadband connections now offer similar speeds and prices to home, wired connections.
Apparently according to the Times the average mobile Internet connection price has been reduced by 50% and the rate of fall continues to increase thanks to technological advances allowing speeds to easily reach a solid 1.5 Mb, speeds several times faster are also coming online.
According to a survey conducted by ‘The World’, currently one out of ten people regularly access the Internet from their laptop or via their mobile. A spokesman from ‘Top 10 broadband ‘, a price comparison site said: “This trend is as important as the shift to mobile phones which took place in the mid-nineties, We believe that by the year 2010, the use of mobile broadband will overtake home connections as usual the system to access the Internet in the UK. “
