Notebook wireless question

Question

Hi, I'm considering purchasing a new notebook for my new trucking job to stay in contact with my family, and get my online degree. Is it possible for a notebook to access the internet from anywhere in the US? Is satellite the only way to do this? I thought there were others. I don't necessarily mean excellent nationwide coverage, just to be able to access the net without using a land based wireless network. And if it is possible, what computer hardware would be required to do so so I know what to look for and buy? Thanks for your help.

You have to purchase a special card from Verizon for your notebook, and pay monthly Fee's. You will get wireless Internet coverage everywhere you can get a cell phone signal on their network. Not 100% coverage but pretty good.

Networking, Internet, & Bluetooth
