Mobile broadband is the marketing term for wireless Internet access delivered through mobile phone towers to computers, mobile phones, and other digital devices using portable modems. Although broadband has a technical meaning, wireless-carrier marketing uses the phrase “mobile broadband” as a synonym for mobile Internet access. The first wireless Internet access became available in 1991 as part of the second generation (2G) of mobile phone technology. Higher speeds became available in 2001 and 2006 as part of the third (3G) and fourth (4G) generations. In 2011, 90% of the world’s population lived in areas with 2G coverage, while 45% lived in areas with 2G and 3G coverage.
