The past few years have been great for consumers in the battle for reasonably priced 3G Wireless Broadband. Prices have fallen significantly. The price war between the mobile phone companies has been quite spectacular and brought prices within the realms of consumer affordability, not just business.
The upcoming year looks set for more of the same – but with a twist. There are likely to be more and more offers for a ‘free’ laptop with your 3G wireless broadband plan. It may have to be the best up sell line ever! “Would you like a laptop with your internet?”
Telstra started experimenting with this concept of a ‘free’ laptop bundled with a wireless internet plan in mid 2008. But it was about $100 per month for only 1GB of data. It was aimed squarely at business users. Since then we have seen Vodafone, Optus and especially Dodo releasing bundles consisting of a netbook, wireless broadband, a USB modem, and in Dodo’s case even throwing in a mobile phone and a capped mobile plan!
