Overview
USB modem Somtel is a software program developed by Somtel. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named ModemApplication.exe. The setup package generally installs about 6 files and is usually about 20.7 MB (21,704,771 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 7 (SP1). While about 80% of users of USB modem Somtel come from the United States, it is also popular in SO.
