This <a href="http://www.novatelwireless.com/" target="_blank">Novatel</a> device creates a wireless network with a range of up to 30 feet, and will allow up to five users access. <a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com" target="_blank">Verizon</a> will be offering this in mid-May, and it will be available in a variety of pricing levels, from daily pay as you go usage to the $60.00/month USD plan for up to 5 Gigs of usage. Anything on the monthly plan will require the obligatory two year commitment of course. </p>
