Answer 2

Well, ytou kind of answered that yourself.

YES

If a laptop is marked as "wireless internet ready" all it means is it has a Wifi card to connect to a wifi router. If you want "mobile internet" you need to pay good amounts of money to get a small monthly allowance to let you connect off an expensive card via mobile phoine networks.

"Wireless Internet" has been hijacked by the advertising people, meaning with a wireless router you can sit anywhere within range of it and get an internet signal. BUT you WILL always need an access means, such as your own internet connection, or a paid for connection via a pubclic access network

Answer 3

you need a wireless card and there needs to be some kind of wifi, either from a router you set up or if you are a hotspot from the connection provided by the place. you may be able to get internet from your neighbors if they didnt encrypt it, but this is stealing.

Answer 4

You can try accessing local unsecured connections in your area with a wireless card on a laptop; however, be cautious about the material you download if you are "stealing" someone else's connection.
