I contacted Verizon a few months ago re: the 60/mo. card.  They were almost 
antagonistic re: using the card from my office, as opposed to on a laptop 
occasionally.  Last week I called Sprint re: theirs.  Different story 
entirely.  They even have a USB version that I can remote on our roof for 
more reliable coverage.  They said no problem.  Streaming video, no problem.
As we are out at 19.000 feet from the central office, this seems like the way 
to go.  Hope this helps.
