[c-nsp] Bonding multiple 3G HWIC signals?

[Andrei-Marius Radu]

Hi Stephen,

I think that Cisco is saying you should use different carries because
if you have 3-4 3G cards with services from the same carrier all those
3G cards will associate with the same wireless phone cell and that
cell may or may not have enough uplink bandwidth. For example if that
cell has 4 E1s for packet traffic that would only sum up to 8Mbps.
This should apply to one or multiple routers in the same location.

Andrei.
