Tags:
wi-fi (802.11)

Overview As more cellular phone companies offer data services on their networks, consumers need to understand how "Cellular data service" fits into the overall broadband picture, and how it can be enhanced and shared with add-on Wi-Fi equipment.

They also need to think of the broadband data source in terms of delivery method - whether that's traditional channels or 3G cellular networks.
