Bill,
JCD... on this forum just got his Datastorm installed in VA a week or 2 back. He loves it. Give him a shout.
Tomorrow, my gear comes in to make my truck a rolling HotSpot. With work, the forum, email etc, I decided it was time to get an AirCard. But I wanted to take it a step further so I bought a Mobile Router. 99% of the time, the Sprint (Sierra Wireless 580 EV-DO) AirCard will stay in the router in the truck and probably on. When we travel by air, we'll pull the AirCard out and take it for use in one of our laptops. The router is actually pretty easy to unplug and take with as well (110VAC and 12 VDC powerable).
Of course, unlike Satellite Internet, I am reliant on a cellular signal to connect where as you just need exposure to the southern sky pretty much anywhere in the CONUS. Pros and Cons to all methods.
Best of luck to you.
Jim
