Denying access to the Internet and e-mail, would probably top the list of cruel punishments for professionals these days. With dependence on information growing and e-mail becoming an integral part of the one’s life, constant access to data, even while on the move has become mandatory.
Parallely, mobile phones are witnessing an exploding user base. To keep subscribers happy, mobile service providers are using attractive value added options as a bait. Popular among them is easy access to the Internet.
Service providers say that there is a marked increase in customers accessing the Internet via mobile phones. Each claims that they are better than the competition when it comes to providing a smooth surfing experience.
Executives at Hutch say that their network allows easy access to Internet, irrespective of the end device — desktop, laptop or the mobile phone, that subscribers use.
Hutch offers ‘Hutch Access’ a service that allows subscribers to connect to the net. The subscriber can either connect the phone to a personal computer or laptop or use the HTML browser — provided the phone has it — to hook up to the Internet. Hutch like a few of its rivals, offers EDGE (Enhanced Data Rate for Global Evolution), which allows subscribers speedier file downloads and provides better quality audio, video and multimedia content
