Alltel Offers Wi-Fi
As part of deal with Boingo...
It looks like Alltel has jumped into the Wi-Fi business, striking a new deal with Boingo Wireless that will give Alltel customers access to the Boingo hotspot network. According to the press release, the company is offering EVDO broadband customers (who pay $60 per month) the option to bundle in Wi-Fi service for an additional $9.99 per month. The Wi-Fi access costs $22 per month for customers on less expensive data or voice plans. The company is also offering pre-paid Wi-Fi cards for $19.99 per week or $9.99 per day.

It uses early clearwave equipment, so I don't think it's "portable", but I think this is were they should head instead of WiFi.

About the wifi though... Why would I have to pay for this? Just allow my phone to connect to any WiFi spot (as long as its capable) and don't charge me. If there is a charge to connect to a certain spot then let me deal with that.
