Last week I was in Indianapolis, and spent several hours in the fpRoom 
using my Verizon Wireless Cellphone card. Even in areas like Indy which 
are not in the Broadband area performance is still good for 80 or so kBps.

No as good a WIFI, but good enough till they get 3G deployed in more 
than 12 cities. When I was in Vegas it was about 300kBps for downloads 
with this PCIMA card.

filePro ODBC worked just fine via Remote Desktop, while PuTTy and Anzio 
seemed to suffer more from single character transmission packets. Just a 
slight delay. Kinda like 9600 on a Tandy Dt100 from a Tandy 6000 host.
