OK, how about the beach? How about at lunch break at the park? How about??? So many places to go that do not have remote access. We do not have to be connected all of the time, but wouldn't it be nice to have that option? As for rates and plans, Larry Dudash mentioned last night that VZ wireless is advertising all you can eat 144Kbps for $69.95. This will surely go down in time or if nothing else the quality of service will go up. Just my .02c
