<title>Bundling Notebooks and Mobile Broadband: The Business Case for MNOs</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R8-573.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[Most postpaid subscribers in developed markets fully expect to receive a free or discounted mobile handset when they
renew their contract. Now mobile operators appear to be ready to replace the phone with a notebook. The new model
looks familiar: fixed-line providers have long been selling desktop PCs on installment plans to build up the addressable
markets for their Internet services. Bundles of computers with broadband subscriptions are available from many telecom
heavyweights globally, including Telmex, Telef&oacute;nica O2 and TeliaSonera. Now the mobile industry is gearing up to
do the same for the HSPA networks that are emerging after recent upgrades, with speeds reaching up to 14Mbps and
plenty of spare capacity. The GSM Association reports that as of the beginning of February 2008, 229 operators have committed
to launching HSPA networks, and 162 of them have now launched HSPA commercially in 73 markets.
