Avis will soon begin offering renters a Wi-Fi hotspot in a box for $10.95 a day, provided by a company dubbed Autonet Mobile, who is debuting the service at this year's CES. The article above notes the service uses "the 3G cellular network," but doesn't specify which one -- hopefully it's not Verizon, since such mobile Wi-Fi 3G routers are prohibited under that provider's terms of service. Also noteable is the fact that you can't take the device away from the car. We profiled a similar service recently that ran over Verizon's network, requiring users shell out $1,995 and the $60-$80 month for EVDO service.
