probably the cheapest US wide solution at the moment is T-Mobile. Get a phone with them (screaming deals on Amazon.. esp for the sidekick II now if you are a new subscriber.. wish they would do the same for their current customers :-( ) but anyways.. using the phone as a bluetooth modem their GPRS network gives you 40Kb/s and usually works whever you can get a cell phone signal. The other thing you can do is then bundle the T-Mobile wi-fi access and hook up at any Starschmucks, Kinkos or B&N/Borders? (cant recall) bookstore that has a Starschmucks in it. I think the rate is $19.99 per month if you have a voice account with them. That still puts you at $50 a month (probably more like $60 when you add taxes and other fees) I dont know if there is any other provider yet that is offering such for that amount.. (and has such ubiquitous access) ? I use a combination of the above.. along with the Sierra Wireless Card (T-Mo again) but it's all paid for by my company and I dont see the bill the latter YMMV -tim 90 syncro westy mesa, az
