[Geysers] Cellular data service in YNP

[Don Might]

I used a Cingular (AT&T) windows mobile phone with data to remote access
some servers and for email while I was in the OF area last year.
Painfully slow, but worked.

I can only tie this to geysers by saying it would give us a
better/faster way to post to the list serve.  However my main interest
is for purposes of working from Old Faithful this summer.  I know cell
towers in the park are controversial, and I really hope this doesn't
start a discussion on whether they should be there at all.

 

I would like to hear from anyone who has had positive or negative
experiences with data service and internet access in the park via
cellular.  My main interest is cellular data cards that go in laptops,
but experience with "tethering" a phone to a computer for internet
access or just using a smart phone or PDA would be helpful also.  Right
now, my company plans to get me an AT&T air card, but I have some doubts
about AT&T working at all.  I'm most interested in the Old Faithful
area, of course.

 

Thanks in advance for any information.
