Whoah... is that Ed spouting that Bluetooth actually is working?

Yes, I have used BT PAN and ICS. It does work well and for those like me with a TyTN II on T-Mobile, find that EDGE is pretty fast for basic internet usage such as email and web browsing. I remember about a decade ago entering the world of broadband with an IDSL connection (DSL over ISDN) and EDGE is certainly faster than that.

Speaking of connectivity in an airport. I once used a Pocket PC (HP Jornada) that was tethered to a Nextel phone for internet access on the way back from a few events during the 2002 winter olympics and got about 9k speed. It was fast enough to send email.
