It's next to impossible to find a laptop without built-in wi-fi these days. With high speed access and a growing number of hotspots and other access points, wi-fi is a blessing to mobile workers around the globe. Mobile broadband, based on 3G (third generation) wireless broadband technologies, now provides much greater performance than in the past, with average download rates of 400-700kbps, or about 50x faster than earlier networks. And with mobile broadband one can get a connection anywhere one can get a cell phone signal, which is pretty much anywhere in the U.S. that mobile workers are likely to be found. Costs have dropped significantly, with plans averaging closer to $50 per month.
