I have a chance to do a four day gig for the New York Times, but I
have to be able to upload jpegs to an FTP site on the fly. I can't
count on finding a wireless zone. The Times guy said their
photographers use Verizon. Does anyone know how that works? I've seem
devices that plug into a USB port, but I didn't find them on Verizon's
web site. I need help. Right away!!

Go to: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/index.html
Click on the "Business" tab at the top.
There's a link to "Wireless Internet Access" where you can find
"Broadband Access Devices". Click there; click "View our lineup of
devices"; then click on the "Broadband Access" tab.
You can select from 2 year, 1 year and month to month contract prices.
I don't know if any of these will work with Apple though. Possibly
"Windoze only".
If it's an out of town gig, most hotels offer broadband internet as part
of the lodging if you can wait to do a batch upload in the evening. It's
frequently wireless, but I believe they'd all be compatible with Apple's
built in wireless, so you'd only need an FTP client.
What I'd do if I had to figure it out in a hurry is take my laptop into
the nearest Verizon store and tell 'em "Make it work!"; then buy
whatever product that requires.
If you're not going to be working around your own city, you're going to
need the zip code where you will be for them to figure out what's available.
