In a country like Saudi Arabia, there are some location where there are no Internet connection and there are times which you need to be connected in the net and be online. There are different ways to be connected online, you may use GPRS connection via cellphone or use mobile broad band connection.
GPRS Connection can be done using Bluetooth connection from Mobile Phone thru the Laptop, You may also use cable in connection.
Mobile Broad band connection uses a the USB modem (or dongle) into your laptop, and you just have to get a sim card like where you have to connect it in the dongle.
Some of my friends uses mobile broad band thru a know cellphone company here in Saudi Arabia. Based on their experience mobile broad band connection is better than Dial up connection thru the Phone. It is also better than DSL Connection if your DSL Connection is only 256 kb.
As a blogger being online always is necessary to be able to blog everything that may come to your way.
Some problem that maybe experience is the speed of broadband connection, Since when you are far from cell site of the company providing the connection there is always a possibility to have a distorted connection.
Of course it is better to do some speed test on different company that can provide the service that you need. Some suggestion in choosing those company is to choose those who already existed for a long time.
You have to make your subscription worthy.
Mobile broadband connection here in Saudi Arabia have fixed rate for month, so if you only seldom uses your connection and not always it is better not to get it. But if you are a business man or a blogger I think You have to get it so that not to miss any single opportunity to blog. Remember not all place have wifi where you can connect anytime and blog any information that you want to blog.
Final word at the end you have to decide whether you have to opt with this method or not, you better study you financial requirements before doing any decision in getting connection.
Usually the costly is the dongle and the monthly subscription is affordable.
Australia is a country with a comparatively small population but Australians are taking to the latest mobile technologies with eagerness.
