Despite the proliferation of smartphones, mobile broadband technology is currently no match for landline-based resilient internet access solutions.
According to Natasha Stokes, editor of Mobile Choice magazine, mobile networking will not undermine digital leased lines any time soon.
Ms Stokes claims that existing high bandwidth connectivity stands head and shoulders above mobile broadband, which cannot yet support large file downloads.
However, she suggested that the trend for mobile connectivity will continue to increase over time.
"As well as technology advances, the price of phones will drop, so that good internet phones will be available at a greater range of price points," Ms Stokes noted.
However, she added that mobile broadband "won't pose a great threat to fixed internet - until universal Wi-Fi is a reality".
Recent research conducted by the Office for National Statistics showed that almost a third of internet users now connect to the web via their mobile phones - up from 23 per cent in 2009.
