Mobile Broadband USB Stick
A mobile broadband USB stick provides the smallest and most convenient equipment needed to access mobile broadband. On a Windows PC the USB stick contains all drivers required and as such really is plug and play. Simply insert the stick in the USB port of your Windows desktop or laptop and everything is automatically installed (need to download something on a friend's laptop - no problem, simply insert the USB stick and away you go). On a Mac it is little more involved, and requires the use of the included DVD, or a download of drivers from the net.
