Intel alongwith the GSM Association have announce a bilateral project to enable laptops to connect seamlessly to high-speed 3G broadband data and Wi-Fi networks using the same SIM card technology as deployed in today’s cellular phones.
The initiative was announced at the 3GSM World Congress.
Guidelines :
The project builds on work already done by GSMA members on seamless roaming between networks of mixed technology infrastructure and the usage of the SIM card to provide WLAN access control and billing.
Initial focus will focus on developing guidelines to include the GSM family of technologies including the high data rate 3G wireless broadband technology, HSDPA, in laptop computers.
They hope to attract support amongst operators, PC makers and network infrastructure providers. Some major operators are already on board the initiative and will provide technical support as the project evolves.
Usage :
As 3G network roll-outs accelerate across the world, with additional media rich capabilities added through HSDPA upgrades, laptops with in-built connectivity to the 3GSM world will enable PC users to enjoy the full benefits of seamless access to mobile broadband wireless services with secure authentication.
3G technology when embed into laptops will deliver an unparalleled wireless experience for people who need broadband access to information anywhere in the world.
Mobile operators would be able to offer laptop users even better ways to bring mobile broadband to subscribers with automatic connection to 3G, HSDPA and Wi-Fi networks.

but nothing certain, first let them come out with a prototype.
