Hellooo Internet everywhere. Can't find a good AP for your cheap WiFi card? Plug in your cell phone and surf the net at ~56k speeds for only $10+whatever you're paying your cellphone provider. I find this quite amazing. It's like a landline that's always with you [as in calls are basically free and unlimited]. You're in the mountains or on the countryside with your shitty P233MMX laptop and you wanna see what's cooking on Slashdot, there you go. Only issues that still need to be cleared up: Let's take an average celly carrier, like Rogers AT&T in Toronto and the GTA. I'm not sure if they offer free mobile-to-mobile service, as I remember asking for such a thing when I signed up with them. I also remember going out of my "home" area and calling in the GTA from Barrie, it was apparently treated as long distance [even though that number was in my "home" area]. Point is, I'm not sure you can call other mobiles for free anywhere, like say those mobiles are in a different area code. And if you can't... that'd suck. The point of paying the $10/month would no longer justify itself. But it's a good concept. Cheap too. If your cellphone provider doesn't rape you in the process.
