Maybe. I am guessing that most of the USA has cell phone coverage (and some would either have EDGE or 3G depending on the provider). The costs differ though (from a mild raping to worst).

There are also independent service providers (regional providers).

I've got regular cell service.

I have a cell modem, but it's just getting dial-up speed. No new towers yet.

I keep looking into other internet options. Verizon has a web page where you can see if you can get DSL. But until they get around to upgrading the local switch, high-speed ain't happening.

There was also a rumor that some provider was putting in WiMax, but that didn't cover where I am.

I'm telling you guys, living in the boonies really sucks. I love the area, but internet service is probably as critical as power service for somebody in technology.

As a side note, I was actually was one of first ones in my area to get a T-1 several years ago. I had to rent the line. I think at first it was running around $2K per month.
