I had blogged about a commercial I saw from Verizon and anywhere access to the internet using their wireless technology but couldn’t figure out where to find more information on it, since the commerercial was gone before I could write down the URL.

Well, I dug in VerizonWireless.com for awhile and found some wireless laptop cards that go in your expansion ports—it’s there that I saw the two options that Verizon offers.

One, they offer unlimited “faster than dialup” access (averaging 60 to 80 kbps) for $59.99 (in the Mpls/St Paul area) and unlimited anywhere broadband access (averaging 400 to 700 kbps) for a painful $79.99 a month (again the Mpls/St Paul area). I believe access is also only limited to one person per plan, so no sharing with the spouse or sig/other.

As much as it’d be cool to just take my laptop to the park, a nice quiet pub, or anywhere else in the Twin Cities, I think I’ll just have to do with access at home and the near by Dunn Brothers in Inver Grove Heights or the little ma/pa shop near by Ol’ Man River Cafe—both of which have FREE WiFi.
