A new service from Rovair, allows you to rent an internet "aircard" for "as low as" $5.95 per day when borrowing it for 30 days or more.

Here's how it works:

You order the card, they send it to you in the mail, then you can plug it into your USB port and use the internet pretty much anywhere you want to go in the United States.

One reviewer took it to New Orleans and used it in a taxi, at his hotel and at the airport, so he probably saved a lot of money. Just by skipping those hefty internet access fees in the airport waiting lounge alone would probably be worth it.

I'm curious as to how far into the wilderness the coverage goes and how it works in other countries. This could be very good, especially for someone blogging about a multi-city or RTW trip.

Update: After a quick call to the RovAir marketing department, I was informed that the service does not officially extend into Canada, but it is indeed possible to receive the signal outside of the U.S. They also told me the company are working on a bigger, international network, but for now, it will only work in domestic U.S. locations.

There go my dreams of blogging from the wilds of Yellowknife this summer.

Would you use this service? How long of a trip would you have to take to justify it?
