John, have her check "Internet Access-Only"...

from the cable provider. The costs are less than cable TV and Internet, for just Internet alone.

Also, consider a non-iPhone broadband product from the currrent cellphone service provider that plugs into the laptop and add a WiFi printer.

Also consider a non-iPhone (i.e., Android) hot-spot product from the cellphone provider that can connect other devices to the Internet via the hot-spot (WiFi) or by "tethering".

Another option is to see if there is an ISP company in the area that operates via broadcast WiFi at 900 Mhz. We have a new start-up here in Tucson called Simply Bits. They use WiFi at 900 Mhz, broadcast by towers to dish-like devices mounted to subscriber houses. This is a line-of-sight system that transmits both ways between the dish-like device and the towers.

Last but not least, she can make a deal with a neighbor to split costs on a single Internet service to a secured WiFi that they share use of,
