[aklug] Re: mobile Internet for your PC?

Do you have a smartphone && ok service? If so you might be able to set up a
"personal hotspot" depending on the capabilities of your phone. I recently
jailbroke my phone, installed a free hotspot maker app (since can't use the
native one unless your on the higher$$$ plans).

I knew a guy that couldn't get cable to his place since he lived near chena
river on the hill--he got his internet through directTV i believe.

You might also check out http://www.starband.com/services/index.html or
other satelite internet providers... I don't know if it's still the case
but I always found satellite internet shitty on cloudy days -- but that was
years ago.
