I'm going to purchase a Mac notebook for both me and my son, I would like to know who has the best or at least how can we get on the net with what type of wireless plans are best for bluetooth roaming plans. my son is in a rural area with not many hotspots at all, I'm in the city with very few hotspots also, but we would like to get on anywhere without having to rely on the hotspots? In other words, anywhere in the US via satellite or something to that effect? Greenhorn about wireless access, I'm an i-mac user without wireless, but would go on the road with my laptop, I'm a musician always on the go, and I want to get my son hooked up also with the freedom of mobility to use his laptop? thanks much for your support, I anticipate some of you computer veterans. I do have to thank ya's for the great advice with my music stuff. if you go to my website and click on 'check out hooks documentary' you'll dig it, I am the worlds "ONLY" one handed, one hooked piano-keyboardist extraordinaire', I bid ya'll much success with all your endeavors, thanks Hook 'em up'

Anyway, Bluetooth is not made for real networking, just basic stuff like keyboards, mouse, remote control. Printing is already heavy for it as it's a low bandwidth system.
Wifi is the i802 standard currently in its "g" version, "n" being round the corner next year (right now NO wifi boxes/cards are full "n" compatible as the norm is not final, and won't be till next year, so don't by the "n" stuff now, it may not be anymore later). It's now at some reasonable broadband speed (enough to surf smoothly). It's this wifi/i802 you should track. Forget Bluetooth, it won't lead you nowhere. Side note, Apple is still in i802g, called Airport Express in the lingua franca of Cupertino. Now on your question, check these: wififreespot.com free-hotspot.com There may be solutions at no cost while roaming.
