With technology developing at a fast pace, the demands of the user have increased proportionately. Gone are the days when dial-up was the only means of connecting to the Internet. The slow speed it offered compelled users to move onto the revolutionary broadband services. Despite its fast Internet speed, the wires associated with it started to prove a hindrance, especially in offices. This is led to the advent of wireless broadband .

As the name suggests, no wires are needed for using a such a service. A wireless router is required that receives the signal from the WISP’s antenna and transmits it to the laptop or PC. In case of wireless broadband, the signal is in the form of Radio waves.

The Wireless Internet service providers (WISPs) broadcast the signal in all directions via its omni-directional antenna. Wi-Fi and WiMax are two prominent standards used in this field. With Wi-Fi, there are a number of towers in an area. The region covered by the tower is called a hot-spot. If one wants to use Wi-Fi Internet, all one has to do is enter the hot-spot region and subsequently access Internet. These Wi-Fi hotspots are generally found in coffee houses, restaurants, hotels and airports. However, the speed offered by this wireless broadband standard is slow and is not intended for high end users.

A word of warning though. If you just cancel you’re existing service and take out a new broadband contract then you’ll end up without Broadband for several days at the least. You wouldn’t do this with a mobile phone after all would you?

However Switching Broadband providers is a simple process, as the majority of the main Broadband providers have signed up to a code of practice which is designed to make the process of changing Broadband suppliers as easy as possible.

The process of transfering Broadband providers is very similar to that used in the mobile phone industry whereby numbers are ‘ported’ between mobile phone operators thus meaning no ‘downtime’. With Broadband you are given a code that your new Broadband provider will use to transfer you swiftly. This Broadband transfer code is known as a ‘Migration Authority Code’ (MAC). Once the MAC code has been transferred between your old Broadband provider and your new provider, then your Broadband service should transfer over without any interruption.

Mobile operators surprised analysts with peaking ARPU numbers. In fact, the ARPU of VimpleCom and MTS showed very high growth compared to that of Western operators. The whole market surpassed USD 22 billion in 2007, while operators continue to invest into the network expansion. In 2012 mobile Internet services are predicted to bring some 10% of all revenues of mobile operators of the mobile service segment, or about $3.4 billion, according to MTS CEO Leonid Melamed
