As an update, the tests that I conducted as well as some browsing consumed 45 megs of data. I have a 500 meg data pack. Based on this, at nearly 10 percent of my monthly allowance, the data would be consumed in a day or so. If I was relying on this as my sole internet service I'd have to pay at least $49 for the 3 gig pack. And even then I doubt that it'd be enough. I haven't checked and therefore I don't know, but you'd hope that the data packs for the USB modems that people use to connect to NextG would be better value.
