For me that I travel a lot it makes more sense if I could connect my laptop to the internet while I'm in the move. It's that possible?

I have Comcast wireless connection at home thru a router and there is another device like a mobile dish for satellite internet connection in the market. There is no other way to connect to the internet without those devices?

Honestly, No it is not possible for you to get internet service anywhere you go. In some areas where Wi-Fi is popular it is very easy to get a signal on your wireless laptop... these areas would include populated cites, or malls, alot of coffee shops have Wi-Fi access as well. Some of them require you to pay for your usage, others don't. If you going into suburban, country area, less populated don't expect to receive good, if any wireless service.
If you want to get the best wireless internet access while on the move I would suggest finding a mall, or coffee shop, or even the hotel you are staying in, they normally advertise if they have a Wi-Fi hotspot or not.

Here is a link to a site which provides a list of Wi-Fi HotSpots, sorted by location:

There are however technologies in the works that will allow wireless internet access from where-ever you may be. So in the distant but near future you can look forward to all over wireless internet acces. Hope this helps, best wishes.

Not everywhere. But you can plan a route that might let you. You need to be either in the area of a Wireless Access Point, or if you want to get on the net by connecting your cell phone instead, in the vacinity of a cell tower. Beware of roaming charges in that case too.,

Wireless internet will not be available everywhere. There are actual internet providers that provide wireless internet connection such as Verizon Wireless:

That's the only thing I could find :)

You could get NationalAccess/BroadbandAccess from Verizon Wireless, which operates off the cell phone towers. You can get internet service wherever you can get cell phone service.

Hope this helps!

Yes, but only at wireless access points which are unsecured or free to the public.

Get a cellphone with a computer connector cable so you can dialup through your cell phone
