Well, most laptops these days come with built-in Wifi cards (mostly 802.11g) that let you connect at wireless hotspots like Internet cafes, hotels, some public parks, etc.
That's your best bet, since the wireless broadband networks that exist in the US, Europe and Asia are entirely different- just as the cellular networks are. So having a wireless broadband card from Sprint may be good for the continental US, but that's it... Buying cards (and service plans) for each region of the world can get expensive.
On the other hand, Wifi is Wifi no matter where you are, and it's often free...

You can only get wireless internet if you are within range of a wireless hotspot. Hotspots can be found in coffee shops, hotels, restaurants, and many other places.
If you want to get wireless WITHOUT needing to be near a hotspot, you can purchase equipment from some providers, like Sprint, that will let you connect to either a satellite feed, or through cell phone towers, so you have a MUCH wider range. These usually cost a pretty penny, and you'll have to sign up for a service.

Yes - as long as they have a wireless router beaming a signa,
Wireless it the easiest and most convenient way to connectg
Goes 300 feet indoors and 1000 feet outdoors.
Same frequencies as standard cordless phones
The most common cards are " g" format
g is a souped up b and does b as well
b can usually receive g
even an older b is way faster than most internet connections
the wi fi is standardized
get a wireless laptop and you will be set
If the wireless is built into the laptop lid those are way more powerfull than the cards ( pcmci) that are plugged into the slot.

Yes. But it comes with a price. Nothing is free these days. And you have to find selected areas (hotspots) that are internet enabled.
