Cell phone companies are moving away from just offering cell phones. Now they are beginning to offer things that companies big and small are really getting excited about. Called mobile broadband, this is their way of trying to rake in just a bit more money a year. Basically, the way it works is that you get a card that you insert into your computer via USB or the wireless card slot, pay a monthly payment, and voila. This connects you to broadband internet. Pretty cool, huh?
A big question you may be asking is: why should I care? If I can get internet at home, why would I want this? The same question was posed when people first heard about cell phones. "I can talk at home on a direct line, why do I need a mobile phone?" Now look. Everyone has them. Why? Because there are times when we just need to get online and we don't want to wait to get home. It's really a great thing if you are a small business because your employees can get on even when they are out doing sales meetings.
Mobile broadband is a great thing. Using a speed test as their research, mobile companies continue to expand their features and try to make the internet they provide faster and faster. It's a great way of getting internet for your employees when they are out and it makes for a much better, faster and more efficient productivity.
