If you are travelling to the United States or if you live in the United states you realize that Mobile data comes at huge cost. Many get charged international roaming data costs or if you live in the United Sates you get charged overages.

In this article I would like to provide a short overview of Internet Sharing on Windows Phone, one of the area's in which Microsoft pioneered new functionality for smartphones.

Verizon MiFi versus Satellite Internet in Rural Areas

hughes

Having a cabin in the rural area of the Catskills in NY,  I was forced to get satellite internet, since there was no availability of DSL or Cable internet. However with the huge coverage of Verizon's 3G network I have another option for a broadband connection. Below is a summary of the two connections I have available to me when I did my test.  I am glad I was able to test this.
