3G???  There are places in the US where it's still impossible to get a
simple cell phone signal, never mind 3G.

My understanding is that 3G adoption here in North America has lagged  
Europe a bit, but I've seen that feature in some laptops/netbooks over  
here, as well as external 3G modems that plug into a USB port. The  
major challenge is getting a reliable signal in rural and small-town  
areas.  That's why Kellyn's "wifi campground" use case is such a  
bonus. :)
