Wireless Options...???

[Steward]

Hey Guys... I'm stumped.

I have a client who has requested that I have the ability to "upload" edited (PremierePro) video from my laptop (Dell 5150), filing it to an FTP server.
O.K... easy enough... but... My carrier (Cingular) requires a 2 year contract at $59.99 a month. Too steep (at this time) for my small business, especially when the need to do so may only happen 3 to 4 times a year (quick turnaround/severe weather coverage)...
Other carriers charge the same (ballbark) figure...

Anyone have experience with such matters, that could suggest a possible workaround...??? For that matter... does anyone here actually do this, who
might offer ideas on wireless equipment, cards, etc...

Thanks in Advance

last year verizon announced they were offering a $15/day pay-as-you-go mobile broadband service. don't know if that ever happened or still is happening, but would be a good thing to check in to.

Thanks...

I was all excited until I learned that it isn't available in my home state.

Anybody else...??? I'm thinking about some type of timeshare, which might work, but other partners that I can think of, would be competitors, and would have to share (need) the service at the same time...Hummm....
