isn't this similar to what they are starting to provide on cell phones with internet access now?
ben, this might be something to consider. if you use your mobile a lot, you could get on a pretty sweet plan, and use the internet access that way.
actually, now that i think about it, i think there are mobile plans that don't charge you minutes for the usage. i know sprint's WAP service doesn't charge you minutes for internet access now, not sure if that's the case with their isp service tho. you might check it out, since some of those companies can go pretty fast now. :shrug:
