I am pricing laptop computers, and I noticed that many offer options for mobile broadband. What I don't understand is why I would need it! If my (potential) laptop has a wireless card, isn't that all I would need to access the internet? What is the advantage

During a Q&A session at the MyBroadband conference hosted at Vodacom World today (26 October 2011), Vodacom CEO Pieter Uys said that they haven’t yet figured out how to offer uncapped mobile broadband package.
Uys went on to argue that “no one has,” saying that if one looks at the EU and US markets, operators are moving away from fully uncapped models and towards capped.
In South Africa, MTN launched its first “uncapped” mobile broadband offerings on 1 June 2010. MTN’s Unlimited Lite package launched at a price of R749 per month while its Unlimited Pro package was priced at R1,999.
These were uncapped only in the sense that you weren’t cut off when you went over the usage limits of the accounts. The Unlimited Lite and Unlimited Pro packages had fair use limits of 3GB and 10GB respectively, and the user’s speed is throttled to 128kbps when they reach these thresholds.
In July this year (2011) MTN slashed the price of its Uncapped Lite package from R749 to R299, and reduced the price of its Uncapped Pro service from R1,999 to R899.
O2 and Vodafone are both looking very pleased with themselves this week after an independent testing of mobile broadband speeds showed the two networks as being the fastest in the UK.
The tests, commissioned by O2 but carried out by an independent contractor, measured speeds on each of the UK's five mobile broadband networks to see which provided the speediest service. Tests were carried out at various times during the day, seven days a week, at 150 locations over a 60 day period - with the intention of copying general usage patterns in order to provide a genuine picture of what speeds users are really getting.
The results showed that for web browsing Vodafone leads the pack, delivering the best speeds in five of the cities tested, while O2 was fastest for music downloads in 12 cities. Vodafone took second place on music downloads, while Orange, O2 and T-Mobile tied for second place on the browsing test.
