Internet Via Laptop

[Tom Kagai]

Lots of tourists / business men are now getting internet access by putting a card into the side of their laptop (wireless access) and it seems to be of broadband quality too, speedwise.

How do they do that, what are the set up costs (assuming you've got the laptop) and how's your access time payed for?

Sorry if i'm fick and behind the times but it is pretty cool. Those chairs in the internet cafe give me jep-tort!
