Over the past several years,
the major cellular carriers
have been beefing up their
networks for one of the hottest
technology trends around
today. Vendors like Verizon
Wireless, Sprint PCS, AT&T,
and T-Mobile have all invested
millions of dollars in providing
cellular towers across the
country so that you can get
a cell signal in almost any
decently populated areas.
Competition is fierce, and
each carrier is looking for
some kind of value-added
service or function to entice
customers to switch to their
service.
Cellular carriers allow
you to get online from your
laptop computer using one
of their "air cards",
sometimes known as a PC Card
or Broadband Card.
These cards plug into the
PCMCIA slot on your laptop
(almost all laptops have
a PCMCIA slot) or your USB
port, and as long as you
can pick up a decent signal
from the carrier's cell tower,
you can get online with your
laptop and a manufacturer-specific
air card.
AT&T, Verizon, Sprint,
T-Mobile, and Alltel all
offer PC connection cards
for wireless Internet. With
these carriers, you can get
the "data-only" plan
separate from that carrier's
voice/cell service plans.
