Because the whole idea of someone having a laptop is portability - If they have to carry around an extra piece with cables, etc. and need to find an outlet every time they want to get on, it’s a problem.
We’re having a very difficult time competing with WiMAX/LTE providers entering our area that can connect a user with just an ExpressCard or PCMCIA Card that has a built-in foldout antenna.
For this purpose a device like the yota egg would help.
Yota needs this as 2,xGHz licensed frequency gives limited
coverage. You suffer the same problem with express card.
Hmm.. sounds like an interesting concept to me, especially when you consider nstreme’s polling capabilities, or even the new NV2. Me, I like the idea of a mikrotik firewall/QoS device on a plug in ethernet.. Not too fond of the winblows one in Win7.. >_<
