T-Mobile is on a mission to get all laptop users familiar with 3G, and so has unveiled a docking station for its 3G mobile broadband dongle.
Tmobile_3G_Hub_01 T-Mobile's Mobile Broadband Share Dock
The Mobile Broadband Share Dock allows multiple users - although T-Mobile recommends no more than three of them at any one time …
VigSys sell a similar device, the VD30, which can share a Huawei E220 modem, like 3 supply. I use this to share out my 3 connection, (when 3 manages to supply a connection).
Having just experienced the awesome power of 3's 3G offering, sharing a connection like this would be like sharing a 56k modem. Fine if you're ssh'ing onto a terminal, piss-poor for anything else...
Would be useful when t-mobile increase the speed of 3G internet access so it can handle more than one user connecting to it at one time... Only with a speed increase will it compete with standard broadband internet!

Can also be done using Draytek Vigor kit. I've tried it on '3' with about the results suggested by Nipsirc, above.
