Vodafone HSDPA
January 8th, 2008
I discovered over the Christmas period that a few people I know who don’t have landlines (bad credit history, non-payment of bills, etc) have found a way of getting themselves on-line from the comfort of their own home wirelessly, using HSDPA.
They are using wireless modems supplied by Vodafone UK containing 3G SIM cards, and connected to their desktop or laptop PCs via a USB cable (supports 1.1 and 2.0). The thing is, the two units that I got to test out were not using any security software, just whatever came with the PC.
It is being predicted that in five years the rest of us will also be moving away from the traditional hardwired broadband model as well to a more ‘wireless broadband’ internet. This will suit Yahoo who are already developing applications to cater for this move.
