Law Practice Management Enews Tip
WiFi vs. Cellular Access
There is a lot of hype about the availability of WiFi, but the fact is that there is not enough coverage, free or otherwise, to count on it being there in a pinch. If you have to be mobile and you have to be connected, either spend the money for a cellular broadband card for your PC or spend the time learning how to use your cell phone as a cellular modem. Depending on the phone type and the capabilities of PC you have, you may require a cable to connect to your PC or you may be able to connect via Bluetooth. It will not be as fast as WiFi but you will get a signal where no WiFi is available.
