Mobile Broadband Demystified
Sprint has just acquired Virgin Mobile USA.
So what? Well, it does show that importance and popularity of prepaid plans finally has been noticed by the big company.
Pay as You go mobile broadband is rather wide spread in Europe, but here in North America, the only option to get online over mobile network has so far been tying yourself with minimum 2-year contract that will set you back cool $60 bucks/month or up to $175 in fees if you decide to quit.
Not anymore. Virgin Mobile USA has just rolled out the Broadband2Go mobile broadband service sans contract.
