After moving house and finding he didn’t have a broadband provider, Steve Kovsky of Anchor Desk decided to prove that is was possible to share a CDMA data connection around a home network - despite both his CDMA and data card provider telling him it wasn’t possible.

Using Sygate’s Home Network software he battled with adversity and arose victorious. While it only gives him a 100kbs connection, it is faster than a dialup or single channel ISDN and has the advantage over a DSL connection that he can relocate with ease - assuming him service provider gives decent coverage.

Given the difficulty 3G is having getting a foothold in many markets, perhaps this is a marketing angle they should be looking at.
