A wireless USB modem and a broadband access card a 2 different things. A USB modem requires that you are close to a WAP (Wireless Access Point, which is usually a wireless router). A broadband access card requires that you subscribe to a wireless internet access service like sprint or verizon. It works similar to the way your cell phone connects to the internet, via satellite. You don’t have to pay for service with a USB modem, but you have to be near an access point at your house or a WiFi hotspot. The broadband access card requires service, but you can get online anywhere.
