Hello all...

I have very little knowledge of how the wireless internet works.  So pardon
in advance, any possible stupid questions.

My son is in the hospital in San Diego and has just received a new wireless
ready laptop.  I need to get him 'hooked up'.  The hospital room he is in
doesn't have a working phone line, and we sure wouldn't want to be limited
to an internal modem speed even if it did.

Is it possible to get a wireless internet connection? What are the speed
limitations?  What are the costs?

Thank you for any input/advice.
