What about a wireless card that will work all over the country? What about WiBro? Are there other similar systems? How fast or slow is it? How do I get it? What is the coverage? How much does it cost? -Jeff

I'm assuming Nespot has to be used at a participating hotspot. That's not what I want. -Jeff

WiBro is still in it's early stages, according to this article:

http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=189800030

Wikipedia has a little more info:

30 to 50 Mbit/s... with mobility for moving devices up to 120km/hr


Sounds sweet - anyone here have any encounters with it yet?
