Journal twitter's Journal: Avis to offer G3 to WiFi Converter for Rental Cars.
Autonet Mobile this week announced a wireless unit with the eponymous name of Autonet. The $399 product will make its debut at CES 2007 next week in Las Vegas. The difference between this and, say, the JunxionBox, is that Autonet will act as your Internet service provider. You won't need a separate relationship with Verizon Wireless, Sprint, or Cingular for 3G backhaul. Autonet will charge $49 a month for that access.
... the unofficial word is out via the New York Times that Autonet hardware will be an option later in 2007 from Avis Rent A Car. Avis will charge users $11 a day to run the unit, with no extra charges for backhaul.
Hopefully, it won't be long before this is considered a standard rental car feature. So long and thanks for all the coffee.
