No, the USB on this one is only good for charging an iPhone!

However, I am certain a person can build a BurstPi.
- Raspberry Pi
- iBurst USB modem
- wifi dongle
- powered usb hub
- linux distro on SD card to act as AP

Yes, this should certainly be possible, I even tried doing this. I thought it would be nice to have iBurst in my car. I ran into issues compiling the iBurst driver on the Pi though. At that time, Raspbian didn't have a kernel headers package in their repository and I couldn't find the matching Module.symvers for my running kernel. I must look at this again sometime.

I need to order a Pi and start experimenting myself. I don't think a HP microserver would be a good passenger in a car???

Ok, so I am going to win the prize myself.

iBurst uses RIPE http://www.ris.ripe.net/mt/asdashboard.html?as=33762 Basically, the international transit is based on routes being loaded into RIPE. You'll notice there are no locals listed on RIPE.

When you click on https://stat.ripe.net/33762 it gives the status of international reachability.

When you look at http://as.robtex.com/as33762.html it gives an overview of the redundant paths.
