3G data card also work as wireless modem?

Hi friends, i am using my BSNL 3G data card(dial up) to my Acer Laptop that supports UMTS and HSDPA and also supports GSM/GPRS and EDGE. Recently, when i was changing network option, i changed UMTS to EDGE. Then i did not dial up the data card and it was not connected to internet but the data card was ON and was giving green light. Now My system tray showed that Wireless ITI connection is now connected. After that, i tried to open browser and download files. Fortunately i could open a browser and download a big file with high speed.

Does 3G data card also works as Wireless ITI modem or am i using(stealing) any other person's wireless network?... please let me know the detailed details in this regard and let me also know how to ensure im not stealing others' wireless connection. Thank you.....

    The "3G" should be the giveaway.

    Not so much a wireless modem but a WiFI hub.
