Mobile Broadband for Hire

Australia enjoys high-speed wireless broadband from four carriers, each offering a choice between contract and pre-paid services. Now there’s one more option on the mobile broadband menu — short-term hire from as little as three days to a month. A new service launched by Laptop Connect allows businesses to rent a USB modem for $11 a day for a three-day minimum. Rates fall for longer hires, down to $5 a day for a full month
