Many providers offer the option to use your mobile phone as a wireless modem, but a dedicated mobile broadband card requires less fuss. Some laptops now include integrated cards, or you can select from Type II PC cards (PCMCIA), newer Express-Cards, or USB.

Why pay for a mobile broadband card when there’s free wi-fi? Because free wi-fi is not always readily available, and even when it is, the free part is shouldered with risk.

You can work anywhere that you can grab a cellular signal, with the assurance that your internet activity is secure.
