Mobile Broadband for 'Free' next year

Mobile Broadband for 'Free' next year. A broadband comparison site has claimed, Mobile broadband could be bundled with standard contracts as early as 2009. According to Top 10 Broadband, If the current rate of price-cutting continues, mobile broadband will soon be perceived as free of charge. "It is only a matter of time before mobile broadband modems are offered for free with mobile phone packages," said Jessica McArdle, a spokeswoman at Top 10 Broadband.

In another analogy, they say that the uptake of mobile broadband (dongles) is at the same sort of rate as it was for mobile phones in the early 1990s.
