The thought was the mobile Internet could become bigger than the Internet itself, since the number of mobile phones in use dwarfs the number of PCs, and handsets are personal devices that are always with you. Mobile broadband quietly graduated to a zippy new generation of technology called High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA), which increases the data speed of mobile networks. Mobile broadband has become probably the fastest-growing mobile service since the launch of pre-paid services and SMS text messaging. If I weren't allergic to the term "killer application," I would say that mobile broadband actually is one. Its success has led to capacity shortages for many operators, who are now busily planning for growing demand. The first has to do with economics: With mobile broadband often being sold at prices that match or even beat fixed broadband services such as DSL, is there a sound business case supporting the mobile camp? |
