Who’s behind the Mobile Broadband Devices Branding Initiative?
MNOs representing 760 million connections* PC Manufacturers Technology Providers
Shiv K. Bakhshi, Ph.D., IDC Director of Mobility Research "The Mobile Broadband initiative is a timely one in that it leverages the increasingly widespread availability of high-bandwidth networks in both developed and developing economies. While there will always be a place for WiFi connectivity, the great merit of Mobile Broadband might be that it liberates the user from the spatial tyranny of the so-called 'hotspot.' A Mobile Broadband solution, informed by close collaboration between PC makers, chipset vendors and mobile operators, should focus on appropriate optimization of the services and superior performance on the device, and consequently, a better user experience"
