Take
a
look at www.ipwireless.com.
I can’t really say much without being biased as
I’ve been
working for them for the last couple of years!
You
should see 3G technology coming to market much sooner than 5 years (I hope
so anyway!). I have one of our modems next to me now running
faster than my home ADSL connection J

Firstly, there are no health
risks associated with mobile transmission towers.
You could add GPRS capability
to your HA server right now. Orange, mmO2 and Vodafone all offer an
always-on connection via a mobile handset where you only pay for the data
you transfer. However, it is SO expensive. Even on the cheapest Orange GPRS
plan, 100 MB of data will cost you £100 per month. Even then, data rates
are
only around 40 kbps.
It will be at least 5 years
before you can have an ADSL type connection, via a wireless device for a
reasonable price.

GPRS, 3G
In the last year or so we've
had a couple of "Cell" aerials built within a mile of our house.
Close enough to give great coverage from our home, and far enough away not
to be a health worry or eyesore. Anyway...as I drove past them this
morning I started thinking about my lack of ADSL (and poor propects for it
any time this century!).
What I need is an "always on"
connection so I can control the house through the web interface, it
doesn't need to be highspeed as I have ADSL to my desk in work and can
download whatever I need from there.
How likely is it that in the
(near) future I could add some sort of GPRS or 3G mobile module to my HA
server to allow this? Obviuosly I'd need some sort of tarrif that
took advantage of the always on aspects of these services without a
crippling subsription?
