Here comes the (USB) dongle, with Virgin Media
Virgin Media has just launched Mobile Broadband, following the successful launches of the other UK OpCos. It will form part of their converged package of fixed broadband, TV, and landline phone. As per the usual method, it’s the USB dongle that is doing the wireless connecitivty bit.
Mobile Broadband from Virgin Media is available on an 18 month contract and comes with a free USB modem and 3GB of data every month – enough for 2,000 emails, 100 hours of web surfing, 200 music tracks and 100 two minute videos.

Personally, I am still waiting for one of the UK Operators to hit me up with a dongle and unlimited usage to REALLY test their service….. anyone out there?

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
