The product is promoted as a television relay device to your cellphone. No mention of any computer use.

Most common mobile carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, now cable companies like Comcast too) offer 3G (and LTE/4G predep) connectivity via a USB modem to connect to their mobile towers. Pretty cool technology, though I wish it were less expensive.

It said that if you hook up SB to your TV you can now watch your televison programming anywhere in the world via the Internet. That's all I can share.
