I dont know the network behind this, but I have wireless hotspots for a long time. 1. Get a data account/card from Sprint or others. 2. Get a Cradlepoint portable router. It is a complete full featured router that takes a data card as the internet connection.
Plug in to car, or get an 8 hour battery and take it to the field in your bacpack. .
The Cradlepoint ctr-500 is very cool technology. It is used by many who need remote hotspots for many users, at a convention, contruction site or just a picnic. Best of all it has auto failover from dsl to the card. Use it at home/office for high availability situations.
Costs much less besides. and on your normal 3G account.
This Autonet product is the same I'm sure, but targeted at the non-tech mass (affluent) market.
NOTE: If you already have a data card for your laptop, reading email at 80MPH is dangerous.
