    As far as I know, internet access is bring your own. You can use your phone as a tether, OR get a USB stick for your laptop. I do not believe that the qualcomms are set up as internet providers for the drivers.

    No internet on the QC. Prime was working on an option to provide free lap tops for any driver wishing to sign up for $39.95 monthly internet service. No idea if that is still in the works or not or what the response was. But I'm guessing they probably needed a substantial positive response in order to put the deal together.

    I have the computer, but agreed to sign up for the deal anyway. $39.95 and a free laptop beats me paying $49.99 for my air card on my own.
