Here, in estonia, we've had these solutions available for the last year-and-a-half or so. Ev-do/CDMA modem + linksys router + car adapters have been available for quite a while + i have even set up one. Plus, you can have wifi so you can share the connection with another car near you (if you let them). And speeds are up to 2 Mbit/s down and up to 128 Kbit/s up. Though, in real life, you can manage 100 - 800 Kbit/s down and 10-70 Kbit/s up. And the best part is, the system doesn't take up much more space than a mac mini (excluding your laptop/including if it's an eee pc). This system is nothing new.
