3, not a number, but one of UK’s largest mobile operators is set to release its very own wireless router, the D100 from Huawei. The company claimed that this router enables up to four people to share mobile broadband connection. The idea behind this is that you slot your 3G USB modem into the wireless router made by Huawei and others can access the Net via a Wi-fi link. The device will only work with a USB modem supplied also by 3.

Some people would like to disagree the need for such a device as its easy to share a mobile broadband connection just by turning your PC, Mac, or laptop into a wireless access point through software.

According to the official 3 UK online store the D100 is available in black or while and costs £69.99 as a one-off cost. The store also list which USB modems you can use with it.
