Can 4G Wireless Challenge Traditional Broadband

?

The 4G revolution in wireless internet technology has improved the access to internet services so much so that it might be embarking on the territory of traditional broadband. Previously, the mobile technology served to allow its customers surf the web on their smart phones; however, now, with its speed and data transfer closing in on traditional broadband internet, many may actually opt to eliminate their plans for cable or DSL modem services and depend primarily on this mobile internet technology.

With 4G wireless technology, those looking for a reliable, high speed connection no longer need to find a "hotspot" to log-on. The city becomes a "hotspot" itself, connecting its users anywhere within the perimeters, emailing, surfing the web, or chatting. Thus, simply with your mobile air card inserted into your laptop, you can access the wonders of the internet at your fingertips. NO longer do you need to roam around the city for search for that "hotspot." Its convenient, easy, and reliable. Its speed and quality of service is very comparable to traditional broadband services, like cable and DSL; thus, many are choosing to opt into this new mobile technology, and to opt out of their broadband internet. With download rates between 3 Mbps and 6 Mbps, it functions similarly to cable or DSL with capabilities of video chatting, video streaming, and large downloads. It saves them another monthly expense if the mobile technology functions with similar quality.

Just like cellular phones have become ubiquitous in our country, 4G wireless technology may do the same. The mobility and convenience of cellular phones have allowed its users to communicate anytime and anywhere. Moreover, with text messagingand now, internet accessit provides many features that connect its users with much more ease than before. Its no wonder that many have opted to rely more on their cellular phones than traditional landlines. In fact, many households have cancelled their landlines in favor of their mobile counterparts. 2009 marks the year in which the number of households with cellular phones surpassed the number of households with just traditional phone lines. This infatuation with mobility and access anywhere may transfer over to internet access.

To an extent, it already has with 3G networks and smart phones, such as the iPhone, Blackberry, and Droid. As people get more accustomed to accessing the internet anywhere and everywhere, it won't be long until people start canceling traditional broadband internet services as it would be wasteful and unnecessary to have two internet providers of similar quality. By relying just on mobile internet services, households may consolidate such services and reduce frivolous expenses in budgets.

4G wireless technology may not appeal to all consumers, particularly those that use up a lot of bandwidth. With this mobile technology, there are limitations that simply cannot match traditional broadband services; however, for the vast majority of internet users, it satisfies our needs sufficiently. Thus, it is worrisome to many cable and DSL providers that many may soon rely too heavily on this mobile technology and begin canceling their plans with broadband services.
