I pay about $250 a month for personal 3G/Evdo access (Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon). My Cradlepooint router handles the connectivity changes.

Let’s say that you’re making $100,000/year. For a 40hr work-week, that’s $50/hour. To waste time on a 2.5G connection is crazy. To keep yourself tethered to a Starbucks is a huge waste, too.

If you get just 2 3G/Evdo 5G plans ($120/month), it’s less than 2.5 hours a month of income expense. Basically 2% of your gross income.

Oor you can waste hundreds of man-hours waiting for a slow download, trying to find a Starbucks, or hoping some kind soul has an open access point.

The web is way too important for many people. Worrying about pennies a day is crazy. I don’t even have broadband at home — my mobile datacards are just fine for my needs.

This is simply not correct. WISPs — terrestrial fixed wireless broadband providers — provide faster and more reliable service than the mobile providers ever could, and deliver it where other providers do not reach.
