Mobile Internet becoming more popular

10th April 2008 by David North

An interesting report from 3 showing how they have seen a sevenfold increase in data traffic over the last six months.

The mobile broadband dongles you can get now are a great idea andĀ stand up well againstĀ ADSL/Cable for the speed they provide (as long as you have the signal). Generally speaking you can get 1-2Mbit/s.

In addition to the dongles I can see the use of the Internet through mobile devices such as phones and PDAs is going to rocket. I for one am looking into getting an Sony Ericsson W890i this weekend which has HSDPA so I too can get the broadband speeds on the go.

One area that is still a mess is the standards regarding mobile devices but hopefully the shift in the market will see a rapid development in this area.
