I was just wondering, is there anything available out there that enables you to connect to the internet wherever you are in the World. Like WAP but not?

You can get satellite internet service but that isn't exactly portable. There is also internet service through mobile phone networks, but it won't work everywhere. Elaborate a bit more as to what you are looking for.

I don't think there is full fledged wireless satellite service yet, but it's coming. If you have an international cell phone, with service, and can use it as a modem for your computer that will work almost anywhere.

you can use a cell phone to go online with your mac - of course quite expensive and slow, but it works.

Basically, I travel around a lot and I've seen on trains and planes people accessing the internet willy-nilly.

So I was just wondering how they can achieve this assuming their not leeching from nearby unprotected connections.

I understand in some places like McDonalds and Starbucks they have wireless connections available to customers but this isn't what I mean.
