Internet hookup.
There is a satellite hookup called Wild Blue and the satellite dish both transmits and receives so you don't need a phone hookup. Unfortunately, it uses a satellite that pinpoints your signal to your subscription area and a few miles around it so it won't work cross country. There is a reasonably fast cellphone connection using a card plugged into your laptop. It available for Cingular and I think Verizon has it also. It works if you have a good signal. It runs about $50 a month for unlimited use. Cingular did have packages available for less usage. Mine is about 10 a month added to my bill for 6mb of download. Check with you phone company and google cell laptop.
