3G device as _primary_ residential Internet connection? [telecom]

Below is a post I put onto ba.internet and then realized I wished I had cross-posted on this group also, along with the first reply on that group. I hope it's OK to do a "delayed cross-posting" here also:

Yes. There are places where people who can't get DSL or Cable, and don't like the limitations of satellite internet use cellular modems. I have as my primary ISP a permanent connection to Sprint's network with a USB type modem and a wireless router the size of a pack of cigarettes.

Modems come in PC Card and USB thumb style form factors. They are meant for notebook computer use mostly, but there are a number of 3G routers that support them.
