Should I buy a wireless aircard?

I have a Dell Notebook with built in 802g wireless technology. I am considering purchasing an aircard from Verizon Wireless. My concern is that over time the need for a wireless aircard through cellular phone companies will decline as more and more locations provide 802g free.

I would like to hear other's opinions on the future demand for aircards.

Also, is technology available or close to being available which will allow the use 802g technology with the wireless carriers.

Thanks.

 

I seriously doubt that wireless carriers will ever support 802g connections...it would kill their profit margins.

At this point, aircards are booming, and it's much easier to roll out a few cellular tower upgrades (or just install new cell towers in areas that still have crap signal) than it is to roll out a rural 802g system. Just make sure that you check Verizon's coverage area before buying and that they have a decent return policy if you get the card and find out it won't work in your location (because, even in the middle of a full-speed EVDO coverage area, issues with the construction of your home can kill an aircard's signal).
