Though wireless option will be costly and does not suit for high downloaders, it could replace wireline broadband (DSL, Cable and Fibre2Home) in coming days as Infotel Broadband is like to roll out in approx 700 cities at the end of 2011.

Infotel powered by LTE technology can offer more than 80Mbps on the move.Currently for wireless internet we have mainly 2 options – EVDO and 3G. WiMAX (from BSNL, TTSL & RCOM) and MiMO (used by Tikona) do not have wide coverage like EVDO and 3G.

As we find GSM gives us more freedom in case of changing the operators by just changing the SIM and now with the power of MNP we can change operator without changing our mobile number.

GSM (3G) Advantages:

• Same SIM card for using on mobile, tablet, data card

• No need to upgrade SIM card to avail 3G services

• Using data card, you can also call, send sms and access internet.

• GSM data cards easier to configure (you have to know APN) and unlock (in case it is locked)

• To change operator, you just need a new SIM from your new operator and inset it on your data card.

• Operators’ do not stop you from USB teethering (except so-called customer friendly Tata Docomo)

And also right now state-owned BSNL & MTNL offering rock bottom 3G data tariffs – you can get unlimited data usage for Rs 700-750 per month!
