When you cant get internet you can just use the card.There are many types out there but i know verizon is always comming out with the newest things and will always stay on top for there products and service.KRUNCHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14331294281668294273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-86148579324528607292007-10-24T19:12:00.000-07:002007-10-24T19:12:00.000-07:00You sure you want to do business with Verizon Wireless, especially after they're getting ready to sell your private information out to the highest bidder?<BR/>http://www.mguhlin.net/archives/2007/10/entry_3773.htm<BR/><BR/>MiguelMiguelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13515062893694709221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-33622399225786017182007-10-24T10:21:00.000-07:002007-10-24T10:21:00.000-07:00Yes, Barbara, I really agree. And since I attended the Office 2.0 conference this fall where they GAVE each of us an iPhone, I've found that two great threads of technology are combining into one device: ubiquitous access to the web, and portability.<BR/><BR/>I've also been thinking about how important it is for those who have fled their homes to have access to the Internet. After hurricanes Katrina and Rita, we set up www.publicwebstations.com, which gives access to a free, Linux live-cd that just opens a web browser. It can be deployed on computers as old as PII's with 128MB of RAM and no hard drives, and require no maintenance--only an Ethernet connection. It also allows anyone to rapidly deploy hundreds to thousands of used computers FAST at disaster sites and refugee shelters.Steve Hargadonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17776685502090744803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-34932254329800707682007-10-24T08:06:00.000-07:002007-10-24T08:06:00.000-07:00I am beginning to become a big proponent of having mobile broadband! I am glad you found a work around. The thing that has really hit me is based on the current California fires. Although I am not to close to them my house is up against hills that could be a fire zone and I have friends who have been evacuated across California. I have been trying to help a couple people locate evacuees and have been talking to bloggers in the fire regions. One wrote a wonderful story of his experience but he also talked about how glad he was that he had verizon mobile broadband. <BR/>Just struck me how helpful it might be.....Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07535523713482852906noreply@blogger.com
