They have the cellphone service on LOCKDOWN :)

too bad the data plans suck nutz]]>Jan 2nd 2007 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/
Sprint and Verizon phones ARE unlocked. I know people that take them to Korean and Chinese CDMA carriers all the time.

When they get a batch of phones, they need to enter the ESN of them into their system for emergency GPS.

So, you can only use the phones you want to on their network. So, you could use a Sprint phone on a Sprint network, but you couldn't use it on a verizon one, and the same is true for Verizon.

However, none of their CDMA phones are locked, or can be locked. Even before that bill that was passed.

You sir, are an idiot, and you being highly ranked shows how the majority of users on this site are the Microsoft, Sony, Verizon, and whom ever else hating, Apple, Linux, and Nintendo loving, idiots.]]>Jan 2nd 2007 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/Jan 2nd 2007 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/Jan 2nd 2007 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://safety.blr.com/display.cfm/id/101975). Operating a laptop isnt that far off to a cell phone to your head. Do we really need things that could possibly add more chaos to our roads? I know traffic sucks but

Nevertheless, if there is service provided for GPRS and internet radio provided by the isp, I would consider it wortwhile.]]>Jan 5th 2007 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/Jan 2nd 2007 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/Jan 2nd 2007 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/
There's nothing in your car that needs to get online. The only group this product serves is the multi-CPU group, like 3 or 4 people on a road trip. Each person wouldn't need their own EV-DO account if the vehicle's owner had one of these. Anyone else that needs net access in a vehicle can just get a EV-DO card.

There are security and interference implications, too. What if you're stuck in traffic, and 3 or 4 cars around you also have one of these? That adds a whole new dimension to wardriving.

I am sure there might be tons of uses or applications that could use this router.

Those are people that don't belong on the road to start with. Why should something not be allowed to the rest of us because of a small minority?

If you can't control your emotions behind the wheel, then you don't need to be driving.

I read a story somewhere (I would have guessed it was here) about Willie Nelson, who is apparently a geek. He got one for his bus, and it has multiple radio redundancyness so when Carrier A loses signal, Carrier B should still come through. Way cooler than this device.. being able to say your vehicle is multi-homed is mad geek cred.]]>Jan 2nd 2007 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.junxion.com/pdf/NY%20Times%20Circuits%2007%2014%2005.pdf

OK, well, this one is expensive and only has one PCMCIA slot, but even if they have to swap cards it's still pretty cool.]]>Jan 2nd 2007 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/Jan 2nd 2007 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.drivertech.com/solutions.html

One for the rest of us: http://www.stompboxnetworks.com/]]>Jan 2nd 2007 11:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/01/autonet-mobile-the-first-isp-for-your-car/
It would also be great to have live traffic updates for you 4 wheelers out there that don't seeem to see Bright White or Bright Orange trucks and proceed to cut me off.

You're already runnin your mouth on the cellphone, I don't see why you wouldn't watch something else in your car anyway. What does it matter? Driving is an afterhought to 90% of the people out there.

This emerging tech has more than just limited appeal to the masses. It also depends how you look at it. More mobile ISP's will bring the price down, so no fears about cost. I don't have Verizon, I have Cingular and they have 3G now, which Im sure another ISP will put to use soon.
