Summer’s here – and for millions of young people (and the young at heart) it means one thing: music festivals. With literally hundreds of music festivals spanning the United States and Canada every year, this subculture comes alive with the long days of summer. Many festivals attract in excess of 75,000 people, many moving across the country following the bands they love. What started with the Grateful Dead and Woodstock has continued unabated (if lesser known) for years. Many folks at festivals prefer to sell crafts and food – but for some, work isn’t something they can leave at home. The music comes first, but the tickets aren’t free, and the “broke hippie” lifestyle isn’t for everyone. For the serious music lover – sometimes work has to hit the road too, and 4G wireless internet makes it possible.
Let’s face it – the hippies today aren’t what they used to be. Free love might still abound, but capitalism sunk in once the ‘70s rolled around. Walk around a modern music festival today and you’ll notice one thing: money. From food to crafts to ice and beer, the modern music festival is every bit as capitalist as it is about the music that brings the crowds. Folks pay upwards of 0 for a ticket and over ,000 for VIP packages – often driving RV’s that would require a mortgage to buy. The crowd isn’t poor, even if they like to act like they are sometimes. As such, keeping up with work is part of the game, and making money on the off days is critical.

If you’re on tour following the musicians you love, Monday-Thursday are probably free days – they can be spent making the money to buy the tickets and beer that make the party happen on the weekend. Most online business-people today travel with their laptops, and getting quality high-speed access to the internet is difficult when you’re always traveling from one place to another. But now with 4G wimax technology, getting online to work doesn’t mean pulling off at a café for overpriced coffee and even more expensive WiFi access from a subscription provider. For the same price, you can get access wherever you are in the country.
4G wireless access is easy to use, and easy to install on any computer. The modem itself is small and portable, about the size of a USB hard drive. It can easily run on PC and Mac platforms with a minimum of installation time. Regardless of where you’re camping or on the road, the modem will take advantage of whatever wireless access is available. If you’re on a major highway or near a city, your access speeds will probably be as fast as they are on your high-speed connection at home. This makes getting work done between the shows you love possible – and even practical. Just don’t have too much fun – and enjoy the show.
