Mount Everest gets 3G Mobile Internet Access
In spite of 3G getting “old”, and 4G coming into the mix, Nepali mobile network operator Ncell has installed the first 3G base station at the base camp of Mount Everest so that fellow climbers, visitors and residents can access the internet and make calls. To test out the new facility, Ncell made the world’s highest video call at 17,388 feet. That means this is 50% more awesome than originally thought.
