Cingular debuts GlobalConnect world data plan

If you've just gotsa have that wireless data, wherever you may roam, Cingular is throwing down a new global wireless broadband service titled Cingular GlobalConnect to keep the good stuff on tap. The service, which should be available next month, offers up unlimited BroadbandConnect and EDGE data service domestically and 100MB of downloads in Europe and Asia. They're also bundling the Option GlobeTrotter GT MAX LaptopConnect card to pull down UMTS, HSDPA, EDGE,
GPRS, and WiFi signals. Of course they're not giving all this bandwidth away, the North America version, which only allows roaming into Canada and Mexico, goes for $110 a month, with the GlobeTrotter card tossed in for $100 if you sign enough years of your life away to Cingular. The Overseas plan will run you $140, but all in all it seems like a rather low-hassle way to get your wireless data on wherever you might be, even if it takes a second mortgage to do it.
