In most of the developing+BRIC world, wireless access is the ONLY way to get 'net access. And that includes big cities like Sao Paulo; some very poor neighbourhoods has no ADSL, but has EDGE.

About prices: I pay 29 reais (11,41 euros) for 250MB/month on my provider (TIM Brasil); they have an unlimited plan for 149 reais (58,65 euros).
