Verizon's MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot allows you to take your Wi-Fi wherever you go as long as you're in range of the company's wireless network.

Mentioned in this week's All Tech Considered segment is a product I tried out for several weeks and reviewed over on Digital Savant recently, Verizon's MiFi 2200. It's a very slick little device that allows you to set up a wireless network that up to five devices (mobile phones, laptops, etc.) can access.

It's comparable to other mobile broadband devices you'd normally plug into your laptop via USB or ExpressCard slot, but is a stand-alone device and runs very well on Verizon's wireless network.

Seems we really need our high-speed Internet wherever we go. One hot topic that keeps coming up with Apple's recent iPhone 3G S launch is the issue of "tethering" and how much AT&T will charge when that feature is rolled out in late summer.

Thoughts on tethering and mobile broadband? Please share them in the comments.
