Laptops to Come with "Mobile Inside" Logo

A group of IT and mobile companies have united behind aGSMA-led initiative to create a new category of always-connected Mobile Broadband devices, which the GSMA says will offer a technical alternative to Wi-Fi services. Cellular News reports.

"In the first phase of this initiative, mobile operators, PC manufacturers and chipset providers are uniting to pre-install Mobile Broadband into a range of notebook PCs that will be ready to switch on and surf straight out of the box in 91 countries across the world.

To support this initiative, the GSMA has created the Mobile Broadband service mark, a "sticky label" which will help consumers identify the array of 'ready to run' Mobile Broadband devices."
