As the name is self
explanatory, a broadband internet service which is portable or movable is
termed as mobile broadband. The
broader frequency band used for this service offers higher speed. One can get
high speed connectivity of internet service with the help of dongle or USB. These
devices can be plugged in the PCs and laptops. On insertion it enables
connectivity to internet by capturing the frequency network.
Best suited to executives
with frequent travels, this technology can be of great help. Indoors also one
can use wireless mobile broadband service. The basic advantage apart from its
location independent use is ease of access and high speed of internet.
Now consider the aspect
of cost which one needs to pay for this service. Apart from the cost of the USB
one needs to get registered for some scheme or plan for broadband with any
Internet Service Provider. Many packages are available these days from small
plan of use to a yearly scheme. As per the use and cost effectiveness, one can
select the broadband plan. The cost of the service depends on many factors viz.
usage, speed, plan opted etc.
Flip side of this
technology is that one spends more than what one thinks he does. Apart from the
cost of the dongle, the registration charge of the ISP is always there.
Companies have to be paid with the installation charges. Also certain plans
which seem cost effective might not give unaltered service to the user.
Summarizing, mobile broadband is a good option if used wisely as per the needs and convenience also taking into account the total cost of the service.
