YES. A big one for foreign travel people is a GSM
modem, whereby one would use a SIM card from their phone for internet access. I really doubt that part of the world would have any dial-up access as you claim. They never caught up to it, and landline are rarely available. However, GSM 3G access is abundant, even in the remotest of areas.....
And also, the 3g auction went through in India a few months back. I would be very surprised if you had 3g anywhere at the moment
I thought Africa (East to be specific) was supposedly backwards technologically, I do get 3G there...and Indian was supposed to be forefront as far as tech is concerned. Anyways, I would imagine GSM would be available in the remotest of areas in India as it is now in most parts of E.Africa, No? Intention was to highlight the need for a GSM modem, not actual availability of it. Please respond to the original poster if you have further info on availability.
