[ogWiFi] Mobile Internet Solution

[Ian Gough]

I am pretty sure it was a WiMax based solution but I know nothing of
its actual performance at that instance.

Both Bell and Rogers have a semi-mobile WiMax based product. It is a
box that you can carry with you that requires 110V power but then
picks up its internet signal through WiMax.

Rogers product is called "Portable Internet"
(http://www.rogers.com/web/content/internet-portable) and the Bell
product is called "Internet Portable"
