[RC] Internet Access at Rides - Susan Favro

I have the Verizon PCMCIA card (the “special card” Robin refers to). The only problem is that if there’s no Verizon cell coverage at ridecamp, then the card isn’t very special at all because you can’t get on line with it. I have a two year commitment and at the end of the two years, I probably will not renew.

 

There are more and more WiFi Hot Spots around (I noticed earlier this week that rest stops along I-90 in Iowa provide wireless Internet access) and several ride managers have had a wireless network set up that allows those with computers that have wireless cards to get on line (John & Steph Teeter’s rides in Oreana ID and Jan Stevens’ rides in Ft Howes/Ashland MT).

…   I've heard of something available through Verizon, that works on laptops if you buy a special card and pay a monthly fee.
