Worldwide markets for both the Internet and mobile telecommunications are expected to grow in the next year or two to 1 billion in each industry segment. Inevitably, both are converging to form a single entity – the wireless Internet.

While most people today browse the Internet from their office or home, this scenario is expected to change. Within three years, about 1.3 billion people will access the Internet via wireless devices--all expecting desktop-like performance, and on-demand information from their carriers. While a huge amount of Internet content is already available and the number of computing devices (laptops, PDAs, smartphones, iPhones etc.) increases daily, one obstacle still exists--wireless download speeds.

Content is rapidly becoming richer, which places increasing demands on the wireless infrastructure to allow for an efficient web experience. However, developments in this technology are slow, costly and perennially delayed, causing a widening gap between the user and the wireless Web. Wireless carriers are looking for ways to address the demands by consumers and business for web content access over the Internet--anywhere, anytime. The key obstacle remaining is bandwidth. Which brings me to this – The MiFi 2200 by Novatel Wireless & Sprint Network.

This is the internet anytime, anywhere for a fixed fee, and the download and rate is always the same. The future.
