what most people are getting to share WiFi Hotspot connections from marinas
and such, and for those Laptop Cellular Internet Cards? Verizon is pretty
fast these days, as is Sprint and Cingular (Cingular being GSM just brought
HSDPA broadband access online to most areas in the past year or so.)


Our marina on Carlyle Lake, IL (Boulder) doesn't seem to have wireless
access. Cell coverage is, at best, weak with Cingulator. But some
services have better covewrage there.

I don't think there is much demand as most are day sailors and not
liveaboard occupants.

It would be nice to have better cell phone coverage and wireless access
so that telecommunting would be easier. Would be a big benefit to be
able to access email while out sailing.
