Before you start thinking that you've died and gone
to Internet heaven,
however, you should know that these boxes don't work
alone. Each requires
the insertion of a PC laptop card provided by a
cellular carrier like
Verizon, Sprint or Cingular. The card provides the
Internet connection,
courtesy of those companies' 3G (third generation)
high-speed cellular
data networks. The box just rebroadcasts that
connection as a Wi-Fi signal
so that all nearby computers--not just one
privileged laptop--can go
online.
Um, why?
On OS X, I go into my Sharing control panel and hit the "share your
connection from" list with the "to computers using" checkbox and hit
"Start".
Since I need a computer *anyhow*, why carry an extra box?
Is this not equally as easy with Windows?
