Intel and GSM Association are partnering to enable laptops to connect seamlessly to high-speed 3G broadband data and Wi-Fi networks using the same SIM card technology currently used in cell-phones.



This was announced at the 3GSM World Congress on Feb 14.



According to EE Times, Jeff Krisna, Director, Marketing Development at Intel’s wireless communications group, told EE Times that the partners hope to get support from mobile operators, PC makers and network infrastructure providers.



He said,

The key could be to attract as many platform providers as possible to adopt common standards.
