Mobile Broadband Report Part 1: The web and getting connected
Our world has changed because of the internet! We used to have to read the newspaper or watch television or wait for the gossip in order to learn something; we used to have to go somewhere to shop; we used to have to go to the theater or watch television if we wanted to be entertained; we used to have to go out to meet friends somewhere if we wanted to connect with them.

Mobile Broadband Report Part 2: What is mobile broadband?
When we sit down to our computers to use the web, we enjoy pictures and text and video but, as we have just seen, out interactivity is the result of many packets of data moving back and forth between us and other servers. Those packets need to get from our computer to other servers and back to our computer. Traditionally, wires have been used and the internet user was "tied" to his or her desk, and could only use the internet as long as they were hard-wired to cables. If someone wanted to use their laptop, they'd have to unplug from the internet to do so.

Mobile Broadband
Fixed line broadband is something that many businesses and households in Australia have been using for years, but an increasing number of people are now turning to a new type of technology known as mobile broadband to complement or even replace their fixed line access. With mobile broadband users are able to enjoy high speed access to the Internet whilst they are actually on the move, and this technology therefore offers total flexibility, ease, and convenience.
By plugging a specialist mobile broadband modem into the laptop or computer, users can access the Internet no matter where they are providing there is mobile phone coverage in the area. The reason for the need for mobile phone coverage is that the connection is provided through mobile phone networks rather than through copper wires or fiber optic networks as with fixed line broadband.
Mobile broadband is a technology that is likely to prove invaluable to a wide range of people, from the business user that needs to combine mobility with access to the Internet to students, those using the Internet for fun or leisure, and even those that do not have or do not want a landline in the home.
