In case you didn't see it, T-Mobile (still doing biz in these parts as
VoiceStream) launched their "Hotspot" service nationwide in major metro
area Starbucks stores and American Airlines VIP lounges. Here's the
location list for Georgia:

I did see a few disconcerting things:
- bandwidth limited to 500 MB/mo w/$0.25/MB runover costs.
- 12-month contract required for the monthly unlimited minutes plan.
