Internet on the road

M.R.,

Here's what I run:

It's a Digi WR21 Gobi cellular modem and router. Gobi is the Qualcomm chipset that supports the different cellular standards, CDMA or GSM for instance. Lookup "gobi cellular modem" to see what's available in your price range. These modems have SIM sockets that allow you to plug in SIM modules for prepaid data plans of your choosing. No contracts and not tied to one single carrier.

If you wish to connect just a single pc you can choose from the various gobi aircards or mobile broadband cards available, but be careful of being tied to a single carrier or a contract:

You can also plug your aircard into something like a cradlepoint router to handle multiple pc's on your mobile network:
