WiFi for car passengers

One of features should be good for car travelers was WiFi for in car passengers. The car control center or dash board could connect all WiFi users to Internet through a cellular phone connection.

1. Car control center uses Bluetooth or some kinds of wireless connection to a cellular phone, which was used as a wireless modem and connected to wireless network or Internet.

2. All tablets could connect to the car control center using WiFi. Kids could streamline video or played Internet game.

This way offers the car owner to pay for unlimited data only on a cellular phone.

I heard that AT&T wanted to offer wireless subscription to a car, which made it expensive to a car owner [double plan].

Btw, the communication should be secured; otherwise hackers could monitor us for in car conversation.

[I thought about this probably in 2000 when wireless provider rolled out GPRS. I saw laptop, cell phone, and Internet were good for this application.]

In addition to being a wireless modem for a car control center, I'd like the cellular phone to become a wireless adapter/router for a PC or a laptop, too. This way I could bring my laptop and used anywhere, and connected to the Internet via a mobile phone's data channel.

Perhaps a mobile phone becomes a wireless adapter/router for a tablet, because kids like to play games anywhere.

P.S. I don't like to play neither game nor using a touch screen tablet.

2018-12-09: In those days, perhaps in the '90s, I saw something on the web and thought about having web phones to communicate with others worldwide for free.

Around the same time as thinking about asking corporates such as Ericsson to give spare capacity to use for Internet communications to their local offices. For example, Ericsson had offices in Australia, England, Mexico, USA, Canada, Germany, etc. by connecting calls using their connections to route calls from Canada to those countries, we would only pay for local calls instead of long distance. Anyway, back in those days long distance calls was so expensive even within Canada. Now users have lots of Internet phones to communicate with each other for free.
- Our dial-up 56 Kbps at home was very slow
- Ericsson's network was so fast.
