The dial-up modem, using the telephone line to access the Internet, was the first step toward opening the World Wide Web to the public. Early "surfers" were excited to see speeds go from 14.4k to 56k, making websites appear quicker and the idea of actually working over the net a possibility.

But the dial-up modem was limited - speed was never going to get faster, connections dropped, telephone lines in use by the computer could not be used to place calls. Users became frustrated with constant service and support issues.

Wireless Internet access eliminates all the traditional problems of dial-up access. The telephone line is not part of the connection. In fact, many households have switched from land lines to cellular phones now that the Internet is available via wireless.

With Wireless:

• No need for a telephone line
• FAST access - wireless starts at 256k
• One provider for support - no need to call a telephone company and an Internet provider when you need service.
• Always on connection - no need to dial in each time
• Capable of supporting Virtual Private Networking
• No missing important calls, tying up the telephone line to get on the Internet.
