HSDPA Modems inside your taxi!

Filed in archive Wireless on March 14, 2007

A few days ago I talked about how the WiFi bus is going to change the way we commute for cross country trips. As it turns out, short trips within the city will also change the way we work.

Apparently taxi cabs in Hong Kong allow you to access the Internet via USB modems with HSDPA capabilities. No strings attached (pun intended)! This seems to be an advocacy of Vodafone HK to get more subscribers hooked with HSDPA by wetting their appetites while inside a cab.

Between Reckless driving and impossible traffic, I'm still undecided whether I should pull out my laptop to work.
