I have had wireless internet devices since the very first RIM Blackberry. In fact my Blackberry was listed as "MICH2". Maybe it was the 2nd one in Michigan.
When Verizon came out with 1xx 56k wireless. I had it.
When Nextel had their very slow wireless card. I had it.
Year after year wireless internet has become better and better.
Currently the two wireless internet technologies are called EVDO and 3G networks. Verizon, Nextel (Sprint), and Cingular 
offer cards you can plug into your laptop and get great internet connectivity at very good speeds just about anywhere these days. Some speeds are pretty close to broadband speeds and usually much better than DSL.
Here is what a cellular broadband card might look like:
NOW, to make this even sweeter -- you can purchase a real neat gadget called a "Cellular Wi-Fi Router". Here is just one example:

This cool device will allow you to connect any number of wi-fi computers or laptops to the internet using your cellular internet card. So instead of plugging the Verizon, Nextel, or Cingular card directly into ONE machine. Plug it into this device and share the internet with any machine that has standard wi-fi wireless access.
So here is where the freedom kicks in! you can:
* Drive across the US with full high-speed internet access for as many laptops as you can fit into your car
* Take full wi-fi wireless access with you camping
* Have high speed internet in areas where DSL or Cable is not available or accessible
* Have an emergency backup system to put your office back online when your cable, dsl, or T-1 lines are down
* Just be the coolest geek in the group
Lets face it. One of the perks of running a web based company is that you can work from anywhere! So start doing it!
I hope you find this information useful. I'll post a couple more wireless internet access tricks in the near future.
