Help... wireless isp needed

I recently received my new macbook 13.3 about a month ago. I used to have a pc laptop that ran off a sprint wireless card. because i am hardly ever home, i take and use my laptop almost everywhere. I am looking for a wireless isp that can give me that kind of freedom in terms of being able to use it wherever i need to. i contacted sprint and they said there is nothing they can do for me.

are there any recommendations in terms of providers who can provide similar or comparable service? if so, what would i need? the only time i have internet is my wi-fi hotspot at school. any help would be appreciated.

suggestions are also definitely welcomed

thanks in advance for the help!

I'm pretty sure that Verizon has cards that can go in your Macbook- you may want to check into them.

Unless you have a provider that has a USB interface, you can't use the wireless companies' services.

The MacBook does not have an ExpressCard/34 slot.
