Over in Singapore, Vodafone's affiliate, Mobile One (M1) has signed on to be the local partner to bring the Novatel PocketSpot, the MiFi to market.
Given the huge hold that SingTel has in the entire SE Asian mobile market the # 3 operator in Singapore needs to differentiate and sell something more than what # 1 does.
My guess is that SingTel will do a deal with Huawei as did Three in the UK and as Clearwire has done with Cradlepoint. Pocketspots provide a very useful way to connect for those on the go. Just this weekend we went to a non-WiFi breakfast spot versus the local Starbucks and Brueggers combination in Del Mar for our usual Saturday morning startup. Having the MiFi along (I used my Verizon edition) means more exploration while still maintaining that sense of connectedness one needs when when is always on and always in touch.
