You can buy a wireless router that takes an aircard. Need to think this one through. Comcast is $43 for broadband, however they have a slower speed for $24 a month. You have to ask for it. And it is still about 4 times faster then an aircard at the $24 rate. And the last time I checked air cards, they were about $60 a month and also you got added charges if your giga bytes transfered exceeded a certain volume. I had a friend who's aircard bill hit $600 one month. Now he does use it a LOT with big files and multiple users off his router. But it can get very expensive for a slower service.

I am also finding most hotels have free wireless now so travel requiring an air card should be less then it used to be.
