GO-ANYWHERE BLOGGING? This looks pretty cool. It’s an ISDN-speed (up to 144 kbps) always-on go-anywhere wireless connection via a PCMCIA card. The pricing seems a bit steep, though: it’s based on bandwidth, and I think I’d blast through my monthly allotment in a day or so.

UPDATE: Reader Rob Wald has some firsthand experience to report:

About the Novatel/Sprint card. First of all, Sprint is pure evil. I don’t know if you’ve ever dealt with them, but in a world of wireless carriers which are all bad, they are by far the worst.

But as long as you are mentioning the service, Verizon has the same service called CDMA 1xRTT) priced at $99/month for unlimited usage (Mb pricing also available). I don’t know why sprint is getting all of the press because Verizon is a better company with more coverage and better pricing. All cell companies may be evil, but Verizon is not Satanic.

Anyway, I’m currently testing the service. Happy with some of it, but for my admin duties, the latency is very bad which makes telnet/ssh somewhat unpleasant to use. Not sure if it is good enough. Is fine for email and surfing, but one doesn’t spend $100/mth of other people’s money for surfing.

Nice slogan: “Evil, sure, but not Satanic!” Sounds interesting. $99/month unlimited bandwidth isn’t bad. A bit too steep for me, especially since my home and work environments have wireless networks that are much cheaper, since they’re free. But it wouldn’t have to come down a whole lot to be worth my while.
