iPass? Here is response from my buddy in developement here at iPass.
"Hi Jerry! Nice to hear from you and hope this are good for you. Things are good for me! I'll be seeing you next Thursday at the BBQ in Irvine. The guy who posted his note has immediately understood what we are trying to accomplish here. You can definitely tell him that we don't do any port blocking, etc. The only type of content that is restricted (through terms and conditions) on the 3G network is video-streaming as it will put people at the 5GB quickly. There are no restrictions on the Wi-Fi network. A couple of other points you can make regarding that plan...the Wi-Fi in North America includes about 25,000 locations, including T-Mobile, AT&T, Concourse Airports and many others. The Wi-Fi only plan can be done month-to-month but the combo Wi-Fi and 3G service does require a one year contract. Hope this helps....if they do have questions, they can get more info at http://www.ipassconnect.com and if they want to send over any questions, I'm more than happy to answer them!

I got this link from Wi-Fi Planet about iPass' new service, where one of the plans is a $70/mo deal (+ $125 startup for the 3G card) that lets you use unlimited iPass WiFi, plus 5Gs of 3G data via the Sprint PCS network: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/news/article.php/3737886 http://www.ipass.com/pressroom/pressroom_releases.html?rid=317 Considering that I spend $30/mo for T-Mobile HotSpot (which appears to have roam priviledges via iPass) and was about to go bite the bullet for SPCS EVDOs service at $70/mo non-contract, this, if I'm reading it right, is a very good deal for me. There's a 1yr contract and a $100 ETF, which beats the hell outta Sprint's 2Yr/$175 (I just hate committments) equivalent. Does anyone see any pitfalls with this? Do they filter any ports or anything (I use SSH and IMAPS/SMTPS almost exclusively). I think it's the best overall solution for me. -Kenny -- Kenneth R.
