Internet in your pocket

Hello friends. Welcome back. As many of us use traditional methods for connecting to internet i.e. Broadband Connection or dial up connection. There is an alternate method also and that is connecting to internet through our cell phones. We have discussed on the topic in our past posts also. Let us know some thing more about the technolgoies involved.
Our mobiles work on mainly two technologies namely 1.GSM and 2.CDMA GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. These are the mobiles in which we may use SIM cards of Service Provider Companies of our choice. On the other hand some service providers use CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technique e.g. Reliance and Tata Indicom in India.
GSM types of networks use GPRS and EDGE technologies for their data services (Internet Services). GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service and this technology allows transfer of data/information between a mobile network in addition to voice calls and Short Message Services (SMSs).
GPRS provides a moderate speed which is less than a Broadband Connection but better than a Dial up connection. It may provide speed of about 180/200 kbps (Kilo bits per second). BSNL India provides 230.4 kbps theoritical speeds. GPRS is a cost effective service that means it provides full value of your money. Other salient feature of GPRS is that you get information instantaneously. You can even know Live Cricket scores from the websites like www.cricinfo.com etc.
In our next post we will discuss more about these technolgies, which have changed our lives and made a lot easier to be in contact with each other. I will like to request you to post your comments on the topic and tell how these new technogies have effected your lives.
