Default Wireless Internet while Cruising

Those interested also need to know "Unlimited Access" does NOT mean
"unlimited usage", like a wifi or cable/DSL modem provides.

Verizon, specifically, includes 5GB/month of TOTAL data. This includes
the webpage spam, email avalanche, and everything else. Cellular has
never quite gotten over selling internet by-the-kilobyte, like it did for
years. Also buried in the long "agreement" is:


It should also be noted that Verizon specifically prohibits the use of
connection sharing or router devices such as the Kyocera KR-1.

Sprint, on the other hand, has no such restriction with their Air
Card.

Guess I've been lucky. I've had Verizon's broadband wireless access for
a couple of years. It's on almost 24/7, and I DL a LOT of stuff, bound
to be more than 5 gig. Never heard a word from them or had any
problems.
