Yes, it used to be called direcpc, now it's called direcway. www.direcway.com Look into that. It's pretty expensive, but it's broadband internet access from anywhere in the continental US with a clear view of the southern sky. Also, Verizon and Sprint both have EVDO internet now. That is broadband internet access from your cell phone. You can either use Bluetooth or USB to connect your computer to your cell phone and have broadband speeds, or you can buy a data card from them that you put in your laptop. That way you can get broadband speds from anyplace the EVDO service is available. Direcway is the best option for coverage though.

Is Shopko going to have any laptop sales similar to walmart?
