The Trials and Tribulations of RV Park Wi-Fi

This article is about a year old. wi-Fi seems to be penetrating slowly into the 16,00 RV parks in the US. As time passes, wireless broadband will become a necessity. The question is will it be Wi_Fi or will it be the cellular companies' 3G networks. I think the latter in the long run because of the cellular ubiquity. The price will have to be right, though. At this point, I'd say $30-50 monthly. A daily and hourly rate would also be an attractive option.

Verizon's early rollout in San Diego and Washington, DC at ~$80.00 monthly is priced too high for most RVers.
