Use of Data Cards in India

[Ceres]

Interesting post at WATBlog.com which queries whether data cards are the future of internet connectivity in India.

With netbooks being in vogue both for their potability and their pricing (Asus/Acer netbooks are priced Rs.14,000 odd only) and data cards with high speeds being churned out by telecom players its only natural to think that these two trends would drive internet connectivity in India. The portability of netbooks and mobility of data cards combined can take internet to the last mile (till the network is available).

Does anyone use data cards? If so, how good are they compared to other methods of internet connectivity?
