It doesn't seem worth the bother at 100-200 kbps. What can you do with
that trickle of bandwidth that you can't with a 9.6k modem? And modems
over a cell phone are more reliable than these data services over the
cell networks seem to be. My experience is with Sprint PCS, probably
other services are much better, but there are problem whenever they mark
your data as _LESS_ time of arrival sensitive than plain old voice data.

It's at 1Mbps to 10Mbps that it becomes a viable replacement for finding
a nearby internet cafe. It's only a viable modem replacement at 100 kbps
if they prioritise the packets above voice data.
