Research Assignment with Internet Hot-Spots.
After careful consideration my decision would be to use AT&T / Bellsouth to obtain a consistent reliable internet connection to do business while mobile. Searching webfinder and jiwire for local hotspots revealed that while there are a few free connections available, the majority require activation of a paid service. Most require Boingo or Ipass which run $21.95 and 29.95 per month respectively but are limited in availability. The local library CVCC and the Atlanta Bread Factory in Hickory appear to be the only free options. While T-mobile is an option for $39.95 per month the AT&T option looks more attractive. There are plans from $19.95 to $42.95 per month with the $42.95 plan offering 6mbps down stream and 512 kbps up stream. Based on the limited coverage in the Hickory area for free and the speed and reliability associated with AT&T’s service my decision would be to use AT&T and pay for the service.
