    Other than being in a WiFi Hotspot, what are some alternatives to INEXPENSIVE wireless services ??

    I've seen Verizon has a plan for $39.99/month for 50MB (give me a break...) and $59.99/month for 5GB. ($$$). ATT offers about the same $59.99/month.

    I've also seen Clearwire.net for as little as $34.99/month (768kb) includes $4.99/monthly modem leasing fee.

    Any others available ???

    It all depends on you location, and what type of wireless you are looking for. It sounds like you want Cell technology, but what are you going to be doing with this internet?

    It's for a small business. Basically only needing Email support.

    $59.99/month is a bit much.

    Comcast have very good plans for small business, so does verizon. Also, the $39.99 with verizon is unlimited internet surfing and e-mail, the 50MB or 5GB caps refers to data downloading, like music, etc. But if you don't download much data then $39.99 is fine.
