Mobile internet is nothing new. We’ve seen devices on the market for a couple of years now, which can give us high speed internet on the go,  as long as we have access to a 3G cell signal. At one point those devices had to be either plugged into the wall, or hardwired to your laptop to give you internet access. But things are changing. Rogers has started offering the Novatel MiFi 2372.
