BSNL, the state-owned mobile network operator in India, is going to start taking 3G USB modems from Micromax – this follows the ongoing rollout of 3G services, currently covering 11 cities (but due to cover up to 700 in the coming months!).
Micromax has both HSDPA and HSUPA variants of it’s modems to offer apparently, and they also support Mac/Windows, along with upcoming support for some Linux O/Ss.
It’s good to see the ongoing rollout of 3G USB Modems – they really are a difference maker in terms of InterWeb access, and in those regions and countries where fixed-line infrastructure is not consistent, they can literally be the deciding factor in online access for many. As you’ll know if you follow my posts, I firmly believe that 3G modems are in the process of exorcising the ghost of public WiFi access points in a big way, due to their low-cost and ease of use – and now with their popularity surging in some developing economies, they are again proving their worth.

About The Author
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.
