Press Release Summary: Mobile broadband providers are seeing the kind of massive
uptake of their technology that they hoped for, with the number of connections
recently passing the 32 million mark.

Press Release Body: The figure, released by the GSM Association, represents a ten
fold rise from March last year when there were only three million mobile broadband
internet connections worldwide.

Accompanying the uptake of connections has been a continuing improvement to the
communications infrastructure, with operators upgrading their 3G networks with high
speed downlink packet access (HSPDA) and growing availability of USB modems.

There has also been an increase in the number of providers offering mobile broadband
access. In May 2007 there were 96 networks world wide and by March 2008 that number
had risen to 166 networks in more than 70 countries.

\"The uptake of mobile services such as music and video downloads as well as internet
access is rising in many countries as users are experiencing the benefits of
high-speed mobile wireless broadband,\" said Rob Conway, CEO of the GSMA.

Mobile broadband connections could outnumber home connections before the end of the
decade, one industry website has claimed.

Recent figures from Top 10 Broadband revealed that uptake of mobile broadband has
increased 50 per cent over the last six months.

There has never been a better time to join the mobile broadband internet revolution
from as little as 12.77 per month. To find out more
