Is there something such as celluar wireless to connect with an ISP ?

[Benjamin Francom]

One solution you are describing would be  "Mobile Broadband."
Most of the major carriers will offer it. We used it several years ago
through Sprint. It was approx. $60/month, and worked well for a remote
office we had.  They have routers that support the cards as well.

Some folk'll tether their phone for this type of service, and I've heard
Android's can create Wireless AP's on the fly.  As with anything there is
always the security aspects of these solutions to consider.
