Hello,
I was looking at the Tata indicom ad. about a new 'photon' device that has a WLAN which can allow upto 5 users to connect to the internet via WLAN. The same can be done in mobile phones that are internet enabled and have a WLAN too. Simply share the internet (GPRS, EDGE, 3G) with the WLAN device and use it as a wireless router. If some mobile apps makers could pick up this idea and make a tiny application, it can save the users the need to buy new devices and have a handy internet source for some devices around.

Concept? It's been a reality since ages. My friend used to use his GPRS enabled symbian phone's wifi to open websites on his iPad.
Some useful links: 1. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ 2. http://www.joiku.com/?action=products&mode=productDetails&product_id... 3. http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/13/exclusive-google-to-add-tethering-wifi-hots... 4. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/turn_your_iphone_into_a_wi-fi_hotspot.p...
Some keywords you could use for further search "wifi tethering", "wifi hotspot",

Thanks for the links and information. I was not aware that it is already being done.

One of my friends working for a Mumbai based ISP was telling that the government was planning to ask the ISPs to limit one hardware per internet connection. Sad IMHO.

Would that mean I'd need one internet connection for my router and another one for my PC?

Would you be able to browse the internet from your router directly? :P

Yes, if I connect it to a keyboard and a display.

I'd be interested in understanding the definition of the term 'hardware' in this context.
