matcat is on the right path.  You could probably safely loan them a quarter.

There are only 2 options that are viable. Sprint, and Huges Net.

Sprint:

Pros:

Cheap
Portable
Works nearly anywhere
Descent Speeds

Cons:

Can be painfully slow at times
There are dead spots
Currently a 5gb a month limit

Huges Net:

Pros:

Works everywhere

Cons:

Very expensive
Hardware installation required (satellite dish, and modem)
Speed is not very good


And that is it.

Yes other carriers have internet cards or internet capable phones, but none of them match sprint for speed, and nearly all of them have capped monthly limits just like sprint as well.

Sprint should be rolling out WiMax technology soon, which will really up the speed, from 2mbps to 10mbps (In download speed that is roughly 150KBps vs 2.25MBps, which is faster then most in home cable modems.)

As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt
