The Vision service (3G) offers 50K connections vs 9K with the old PCS. 
Soon the 3G will be 1 Meg which puts our cellular connections about 
equal to Airport and close to DSL. And they are talking about faster.

The big problem with the 3G stuff is that everyone wants to charge for 
the megabyte downloaded which makes surfing expensive. I think Sprint 
offers an unlimited 3G for $100 a month which would be a real bargain 
for someone who needs it.

It's like AOL when it first started. Many of us ran up bills of $100 
without thinking about it, at least a few times. Then we slowed down 
our usage and now I have unlimited access with Earthlink for $22 a 
month. If Spaminator wasn't so good, I might go with a cheaper service.

Now, if I could only use the AirCard in my PC Card slot, I'd jump in 
and never look back.

Hopefully the prices will drop after all the easily motivated buy into 
sending pictures of dinner to each other...
