This isn’t whimsical, Christian knows his stuff and his post, The Dongle Revolution is an interesting read for those wanting an opinion on either why and where the mobile sector is going or modifying your dongle.

Firstly I’ll address the modifying, Christian found the fit of the dongle into his MacBook Air a little snug, so decided to shave off some of the casing… coarse, but effective. Less centred on aesthetics are his thoughts on mobile broadband as a concept. Although believing it can’t be seen as a replacement for the fixed alternative, at around 512kbps he is finding it adequate for rich surfing and Skype calls, both valuable commodities while on the move.

After this his article enters an in depth look at tariffs and who is offering what, delivering insights and reflecting on them, such as 430,000 dongles were sold in Sweden during 2007. Something that is surely why the UK market is clamouring for a piece of the action. And as far as 3 goes, Christian believes that the brand has “managed to package up an offer of real value.”
