power of a PC may be unnecessary if all you wish is to surf the web, telephone and possibly send email.
One solution to download costs might be bluetooth. Many mobile devices are enabled with this wireless
technology & it could be possible to set up
bluetooth stations where information could transmitted to handhelds. This would effectively be free of
charge. However, a mobile device can be expensive to run. Many service providers use additional services
such as Internet surfing and the associated download as a strong revenue
stream
