I've heard of using a Verizon air card with a wireless router to create a local hotspot - sorta like the MiFi -
any links to such devices ?

I use something like this routinely, as my only broadband here at home is via a 3G phone system. I use a cradlepoint router, but there are other brands. Here's a few at Newegg.... incidentally, they will work with any carrier... I use AT&T because their cell tower is near my home.
Oops....
I use a similar setup around a Cradlepoint MBR1200. You can find out more about them here:
-or here-
Cradlepoint has a variety of devices; with more, less, or different features. The one I have will adapt USB plug-in cellular modems, air cards, PC cards, and other things as well as do load-balancing or select a different link should one go down. I've been using it for about a year, and have been very satisfied with it. Our only on-going problem has been flakey service from the AT&T cellular service provider.
Fortunately, I'm about to tie in a direct microwave link to a local service provider about 10km across the valley, and will soon be able to junk that
*&^%$#@!~ AT&T USB dongle! It's going to be nice to get unlimited bandwidth, and 2X cable speeds--BOTH WAYS! Woo-hoo!Dusty
